Day 5- Tuesday

EE MGM this morning. We arrive just after rope drop. ToT first lil'hook has ridden this twice before but today when we reached the elevator he did not want to ride. Tink went back and rode with Pan.

Outside ToT the Snow Queen and Cruella were holding court. Jas and Ariel went up with their autograph books and they both made a fuss over the girls artwork. Grumpy tried to push B.Snow up in her stroller to get her in the picture. The Snow Queen told him to "Watch where you're backing that thing up!!!" I think she must have scared him, because he took B.Snow out of the stroller and walked around to Cruella's side. She looked at him disdainfully and told him to "watch where you put that slobbering thing!!" It was hilarious!!!!!

Next R&R, Star Tours, snack and shop, Indiana Jones, then DN and her family went to see One Man's Dream. Tink and her group shopped a little then everyone met at 11:30 at 50's Primetime Cafe for lunch.

It was so great. We had Auntie Claire, we had her 2 years ago and I can't imagine anyone any better than her. She picked on Grumpy and called him "Sparky". She put a mermaid bib on him. (DN got a picture, same picture as 2 years ago- same bib!) Then after he ate his salad, she saw that he left the tomatoes so she cut one in half and sprinkled salt and pepper on it and fed it to him. We were dying laughing!!

We all enjoyed our food. Grumpy had Pot Roast, Tink and DN both had the Fried Boursin Cheese. It is sooooo yummy!!

Then we stopped and got our pictures on the way out of the park and shopped a little. DN bought my Pal Mickey from the photo store. This was the first one they sold out of that store. Everyone loves Pal Mickey. Hard to tell who enjoyed him more, Jas and Ariel or DN.

Back to CBR for a swim and nap.

MK that evening. We hopped on the WDWRR and got off in Toontown. We rode Barnstormer and toured Minnie's house. We saw Cinderella and Suzy in the Judges tent. Cinderella saw the picture of her and Ariel in the autograph book and she said I met you on the cruise didn't I? Ariel was so surprised and she told DN as they were leaving. "Cinderella is so smart mom, she remembered me from the cruise!"

The kids wanted face painting, and that took a little time. Even DN and Tink got a little something done around the eyes to shock the guys.

After Pirates of the Carribbean, Tink took B.Wen back to CBR. The rest of the group watched Spectromagic and then we got caught in the absolute worst gridlock we have ever encountered- on the bridge leading to the Crystal Palace. We could not see most of the fireworks because we were on the bridge and the trees blocked our view. I felt so sorry for the couple next to us. They had an autistic son and he was very upset by the fireworks. They were trying to get off the bridge and into a restaurant or shop but it was total gridlock.

When we finally got off the bridge we sat on a bench and waited for the crowd to dissipate then we headed back to CBR. The DN was ashamed at this poor planning and vowed "As God is my witness I'll never not have a perfect viewing spot again!"

We returned to the room a little after 10.

Its great to hear another fan of Pal Mickey. I've only heard great reports about him.

 

[Minniespal]

Thanks for sharing!!!!

 

[sherrie]

Thanks for posting, what dates were you at CBR? I overheard someone in the pool talking about the slobbering child statement(probably routine nastiness from them.)

 

[WDW Poly Princess]

Thanks for the report- I'm really enjoying it so far!

What is Pal Mickey?

 

[crusin'minnie]

sherrie-

We were at CBR May 10-18.


crystal-

Pal Mickey is a stuffed Mickey Mouse that comes with a belt clip so you can clip him on. You face him forward when you go to the parks and he will start to shake when you pass certain areas/attractions. When you press his hand or tummy he will give you information, sort of like a tour guide. He also tells jokes and plays games.

We had a ball with ours. When we headed through the trails that lead you into the park in AK he told us about the different animals on exhibit. Later that day when we exited the park we were headed down the same trail back and he suggested since we had already been that way that we take another path to see different things.

He cost 50.00.

CruisinMinnie, I was there May 10-17. It must have been you I heard talking about it in the pool. I was with my granddaughter Katie, who always had her tinkerbelle beach ball with her., that all of the kids played with. Do you possibly remember her?

 

[crusin'minnie]

Sherrie,

What a small world!! I'll ask my girls and see if they remember your granddaughter. That is so funny. Did you have a nice trip?? Ours was fantastic.

 

[sherrie]

Yes, It was absolutely the best despite the heat. We were in Trinidad North. It already feels like it was so long ago. I am ready for another trip already.

 

[WishUponAStar]

Just curious, where are these "traveling cajuns" from?
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!
