Up early again for an 8:05 breakfast at Crystal Palace. We actually drove to the TTC and took the resort monorail. I asked and we got to ride up front!! The view was great and we were so excited to be headed to the MK on the monorail. We really enjoyed the Pooh breakfast. Tigger, Piglet, and Eyeore all visited our table and we saw Pooh in the center of the restaurant. The Crystal Palace is just beautiful and the food was good. We got a big kick out of the Pooh and Tigger waffles. When the parade around the room started, DC2 got in line right behind Tigger and wound up dancing with him. She was thrilled! We left the breakfast and rode Splash Mountain twice with no waits. Then we took in the HOP and headed toward Fantasyland. Got Ariels autograph (a must) , but did not ride any rides there. There were lines and we were spoiled from our previous experience. Headed on over and rode Buzz with no wait. We decided we were tired and headed out of the park. We did stop and get some autographs and pictures. DC2 really got into the characters and getting their autographs. She did this all week and had quite a good collection by weeks end. Back at the cabin we had a bite to eat and had a rest and homework break. Then we tried to head to MGM. DC2 had a total meltdown!! She was tired and did not want to go anywhere. We finally persuaded her by promising to get a stroller!! We did this the rest of the trip and she did much better. We finally got to MGM right at parade time. We really enjoyed this parade. We took in Ariel and then stopped by the hat and got a Mickey Bar. Oh my gosh., how could we have waited all week to taste these things? We just LOVED them. We all had chocolate all over us and had a ball laughing at each other. There were not many people around, thank goodness. We made such fools of ourselves. We then hit the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground. DC2 enjoyed playing here and we stayed until it closed at 7:00. Caught the bus back to Ft Wilderness. This was the first time we had used the buses and were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. DC1 and DC2 went to the quiet pool and did laundry. I took a trip to Wal-Mart to buy a camera. Mine had died during the day and I did not want to miss any pictures. Long, but good, day. Tomorrow--EPCOT day.
