Thursday 11/30

Mickey called me at exactly 6:45...hes such a great mouse...my friend had pointed out to me that his to do list at his home indicated he was getting up at 5am and she said it was probably because he had to call me so early I was bound and determined to make today the day to be there for ee and also TTMM...got to the gates not even 2 minutes after they had done the countdown...drats $*@&(%)$(^...at this point with everything that had happened and all that money I had to plunk down for the AP I was really drained...didnt help that I didnt sleep a whole lot either...so I really didnt do anything the entire time but go around FL...didnt want to ride anything so I zoomed over to TT only to find out that I hadnt been paying attention to anything and Thurs is NOT a TTMM day... I kept kicking myself in the butt all the way back to the hub for coming here so early for nothing...so I decided I wanted Riverbelle Terrace for breakfast and made my way over to the rope to wait....talked to a really nice cm there and we were both commenting on how the weather had changed and it was going to be a really nice day as soon as the rope dropped I was off and the first one in line at RBT everytime I go there I swear Im gonna get the mickey mouse pancake but I never do...I got the steamboat...

after breakfast I went straight to DCA...to buy another mickey santa hat...this one is red and white with green candy stripes...rode TOTx2 again...had premiere seating for Aladdin so I went to see that....I love that show and the genie...got really good seats right above the main walkway where the animals come from...had a great view of everything...Aladdin waived to me after Aladdin I went back to TOT...now here is where my emotional state of mind comes into play....I have a record of riding TOT back to back 12 times...why in the world did I feel compelled to break that record I have no idea...its not like I would receive notorioty or trumpets with fanfare for doing it...in fact the only ones who knew were the cm's on the ride...but goofy as I was, I did it...TOT 13 times in a row with a 2 minute potty break after the 9th time...as I neared my goal and could see the white light at the end of the tunnel...I was tired of this ride and wasnt happy and wanted to quit but my ignorant self wouldnt stop...had to keep going and pretend I was casey jr. or something...think i can i think i can...you get the picture...when I realized it had taken me all day to conquer this feat I again kicked myself all the way to soarin to ride it one more time...went back to Animators Academy and thought I was good enough to try again...this time it was Donald...ok the air was let out of my balloon reaaaaaaaaally quick like...I kept messing up and changing paper and then realized I couldnt catch up and gave up and left in a huff.....I was very hungry and I knew DCA was getting ready to close so I again kicked myself all the way to DL and Main St...it had gotten cold and I decided to eat at PI ...couldnt make up my mind between the fried chicken or the pot roast dinner...both came with roll and mashed potatoes and gravy, along with green beans...had to do eenie meenie minee mo...pot roast won...man was that ever good...I took a pic of it but I have no idea where it is now for dessert I got a piece of chocolate cake...and I do have that pic

yum looks good doesnt it??? well it wasnt ...it was so hard I could hear it hit on the table...a waiter got me another piece and that was better as long as I cut off the outside of it after dinner went shopping over in frontierland at the christmas shop and bought 2 beautiful ornaments...one was a mickeyhead and the other a ball with santa mickey driving off on santas sleigh... ...when I got back to main street I saw that it was packed to the hilt and I was dead tired so I decided to leave for the night...was in bed and asleep by 9...fell asleep before the princess bedtime stories were on

Ahhhh, you know it's been a good day @ DL when you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.

So what did the CMs do/say when you went on TOT so many times? I don't think I'd have the patience (or the stomach) for it, but I think it's funny that you did it!

Your breakfast photo is making me salivate, YUMMMMM! Glad you had another fun day, Lynn!

haha they just one by one asked my what the heck I was trying to do and once I told them they all took turns trying to guess which number I was on ...I think I made things a little more exciting for them

YAYYYYYY! You BROKE your RECORD!!!

Boy, you're WAY ahead of me on that ride (TOT). I haven't ridden it even once yet.

Okay, so now I'm curious. If you added up all the times you've ridden TOT, it would add up to what?

My 7 year old DS probably holds some kind of record for riding Star Tours. He's been to DL 6 times. Each time we were there for an average of 4 full days. Each day he rode Star Tours an average of 3 times. So my 7 year old has ridden Star Tours 72 times - so far that is.

Well, sounds like you had another great Disney day!

I had that same chocolate bundt cake at the Carnation restaurant last month. It actually tasted better than the fried chicken. The chicken I had was too salty so I peeled off the skin and just ate the meat. The cake I had wasn't hard though, it was actually the best part of the meal. Maybe the piece you had was sitting out for too long?

In October I decided to try the strawberry shortcake at Blue Ribbon Bakery (after reading so many good reviews about it). It looked really good but after the first 2-3 bites I stopped because it was stale. It tasted like it had been sitting there for several days. =P
