You go away for a week and then you gotta try and catch up with the DIS, right? Here goes...
I don't know what I am more excited about...eating at Beast's or the Little Mermaid ride. Tough to decide!
Ooh, that
is a tough one!
We passed the Dumbo's Circus area also under construction (since we don't have little ones this doesn't really appeal to me)
Ditto. I never did see Toontown. Just wasn't interested.
We then arrived at Pooh's place
I didn't know (until you posted the pic) that there was a beehive in the tree.
As you can see the park was still almost empty! It was crazy since Touring Plans had rated the day a 10! We figured they were WAY off! (they ended up being right)
Love morning EMH. It's like I
own the park and I get it all to myself.
Our first stop was the Jungle Cruise because it was a walk on! We always try and ride the JC twice each trip. Once during the day and again at night! It is seriously like 2 different rides!
Never ridden it at night, I'll have to give that a try next time.
Here's a shock! Caitlin did not take any pics of the cruise! Suprising huh? Yep she just sat back and enjoyed the ride and the corny stale jokes.
Was she ill? Did her camera battery die? Did she have temporary blindness?
Check out the wait time! Now we usually do POTC without much of a wait but I've never seen a sign say anything less than 5 minutes
That's so weird! You'd think they'd just put zero.
It ended up going up to 85 that day and considering it was snowing at home it seemed crazy hot.
I know! And then when you get back home, even if it's 'warm' (in comparison to the temps from before you left) it feels like an ice age is settling in.
When the show ended the princess was hmmm how shall I delicately put this? Cranky? I don't know if it was getting up at 5am or the heat or the humidity or those dumb singing birds but she was not her usual happy self.
Uh, oh. Maybe you should have pinched her and told her, "Honey? You're not dreaming. You really
are in the happiest place on earth."
I can't wait til the construction is done! It just takes away from the magic IMO
That's what photoshop is for!
Remember how empty the park had been? Well it was about 10am as we rounded the corner toward Main St and suddenly it was absolutely flooded with people! It reminded me of a scene from "The Walking Dead" where all the zombies are coming out of the woods! It was crazy!!!
Great analogy!
So did you guess where we were headed? If you're thinking the Confectionary you win! Yep, I knew a sweet treat would brighten her spirits and I was right!
Well, I guess that
would be less painful than a pinch. Tastier, too.
Hmmmm, decisions, decisions
Great, now I have to go clean the drool out of my keyboard.
Actually, that's kinda gross, no? Forget I said that.
Now that I am older I sort of resent the character meals and how little time they spend with me. Just because I am an adult doesn't mean I don't want a little character lovin! 
Interesting. I never really got
into the characters. I'd rather be left alone so I can enjoy my meal.
We got on the monorail and headed over to the Poly! We needed to head to ESPN to get our race packets. If you remember my mom got bronchitis before our race so she wouldn't be able to compete
I do remember, and that's too bad.
I (of course) did some shopping!
Shopping? You? I'm shocked! Shocked!
I bought both of those dresses and one of them show up a little later this day
Both very nice.
On our way to the Expo site we saw that they had Cinderella's Carriage out so of course I had to get a pic!
But of course.
It was packed in there! There were tons of different booths and different giveaways! It was like a workoutaholics dream!
Your new home away from home???
I really wanted this t shirt but unfortunately they didn't sell one small enough 
Too bad, it's a great shirt.
Now you are all aware that I am a princess and I believe this would be the perfect glass slipper for me!
It was fun exploring the expo and we walked away with a lot of free stuff! It also made me super excited for my run in September! Yep I am participating in the Tower of Terror 10 mile!!!! I have already begun training and honestly can not wait!
Good for you!
Up Next:
Time back at the resort
"Don't worry he is an alcoholic"
"Should you really let her ride Star Tours?"
Sounds like a good one! Thanks for the chapter!
There are walking options you just have to be able to finish a mile in less than 16 minutes. 
You are going to LOVE it there. I can't wait until the DVC opens so I can stay there, even if just for one night! I found the pools and the property to be just amazing.
Let's just say my mom has to write this update...
We love our Deluxs but we handle staying at cheap resorts just so we can go back twice a year 
. I have noticed the last couple of times the characters are a little less than bubbly even with our 4 yr old.
