The date is December 21.
Family is:
Tom - husband
Sherrie - wife
Heidi - daughter
Raymond - son
This is our MK day. We got up again by Mickey Mouse (who the kids met the day before at MGM, I forgot to mention that. We did the same usual breakfast routine and were at MK just after 8 am. This ended up being a chilly day and we ended up buying mittens around 9 am. Once again I am not going to remember the order of everything that we did during the day, except that Tom and Heidi started the day off doing the Dumbo ride. This is a very popular ride. Seen lots and lots of characters during the course of the day. Did the picture and autograph thing. The Mad Hatter was at the Tea Cup Ride and he kept teasing Heidi about her name. Tweedle Dee and Dum where there also and played with Heidi's pigtails. She ended up spending most of the trip in pigtails because she liked the characters playing with her hair. Went to Mickey Toon Land and went into both Mickey and Minnies houses. Kids thought the houses were neat. Mickey was at his house and so there was a huge line to see him. We saw him the day before, so did not see him again here. Went into ToonTown Fair store where there are three lines for character greetings. HEidi wanted to go to StoryBook Characters because it said Cinderella and mystery person. The mystery person ended up being Ariel, Heidi's favourite. So that worked out great. Took the train ride around the park. Raymond loves trains, so he thought this was great. I want to mention lunchtime. We ended up having hotdogs at some vendor somewhere between Libertyland and Frontierland. (Unfortunately I did not keep my maps so I cannot remember exactly where it was). I had only had two bites out of my hotdog when all of a sudden something swoshed over my head (actually felt the claws in my hair) and grabbed my hotdog from me. Then not even two seconds later there was dozens of seagulls on the ground fighting over my hotdog. Be careful of hotdog stealing seagulls. I would have never believed it would happen if I never seen it or experienced it. Anyway, after that shock we used our fast-passes for Haunted Mansion. Both kids hated the kid and were petrified when it was over. Eventually it was parade time. I never thought that people would get ready for the afternoon parade so much before time, so we missed the parade and headed to Splash Mountain. This was a good move as the line was not long. It was a blast. I ended up being our second favourite ride at MK. We even did the tourist thing and bought the picture and frame. Now my son (who is autistic by the way) looks at the picture and remembers getting wet. After that we visited Briar Bear and Fox who were hanging out in Frontierland. Somehow we ended up in Tomorrowland and got fast-passes for Buzz Lightyear. Which ended up being our favourite ride in MK. After more rides and shopping and walking around we headed to the Polynesian for dinner at O'Hanas. It was great and fun. They put hoola-hoops on the floor and the kids get to hoola. Heidi had fun doing this. We seen the MK fireworks from here. After dinner we took the monorail back to MK and then the bus back to the resort. It was a fun-filled busy day with everyone crashing into bed. Almost forgot to mention that housekeeping did an arrangement with the stuffed animals again along with the balloon Pluto that Heidi got at MGM the day before.
Day 5 is Epcot
