I got up at the crack of dawn this morning just long enough to take this before going back to bed for 1 last hour.

We had an early ADR at CP for breakfast with Pooh and his pals so we were up and getting ready by 7am. This is the earliest we've been up so far the entire trip and it also happens to be the coldest morning hitting 29 degrees Where or where is the warm Florida sun? The weather guru's promise it will be back tomorrow.

We got to enter MK before the rest of the crowds and since we were 30 minutes early for our ADR we hit up EVERY single Photopass photographer on Main St. There were only 7 or 8 of them.

One of them even took pics of the backs of our jackets.

When we finished posing we headed over to CP and signed in. Of course, as our luck would have it the ADR system was down, but they took us anyway and we waited only minutes before our table was ready.

We got a much better table for breakfast than we had last night for dinner. This time we were all the way over on the left side as you come in the door, in the outer ring of tables. This placed us the farthest away we could be from the buffet but we didn't care about that, we were here for the characters.

DW was dressed in her Pooh and pals t-shirt and was sporting her ears just waiting for her opportunity to see her favorite guy. She actually had to wait until after we had finished eating AND paid the check. She refused to leave until Tigger made his rounds to us and after what happened last night I didn't blame her.

When we left CP we headed in the direction of Tomorrowland to ride Buzz since we didn't stick around Saturday night to use our fastpasses. DW hit the 100,000 points on the robots hand while I had to work to score my 100,000. She beat me for the first time ever, but it was close.

As we headed over to ride SM we ran into my buddy Stitch so we stopped for a pic.

There wasn't a wait to ride SM but the CM put us into different cars of the same train. I was in the last seat of the front car of the train and DW was in the front seat of the back car of the train, and let me tell you, she was none to happy about it. She got over it pretty quickly but it just didn't sit well with her. We are a COUPLE after all, celebrating our ANNIVERSARY.

We ran into a couple of crazy spacemen when we came out of SM on our way to Fantasyland. They were headed in for some hot cocoa but that didn't stop me from snapping a few quick shots of them.

We saw Mary Poppins hanging out by the carousel so we got a pic with her and then I had to try my hand at the sword in the stone. We actually got to see an adorable little boy pull the sword from the stone and he was made an honorary prince for the day. He was soooo proud to have pulled the sword when so many others had failed. He couldn't have been but 3 or 4 years old.

We continued walking on toward Adventureland when we noticed that there wasn't a wait for the only ride that gets in your head and won't leave. Yes, I'm talking about IASW. We rode it because you just have to ride it.

We knew that Pirate Goofy had been lurking around the POTC ride so we went looking for him. It was a successful search which made me happy as once again I was decked out in Goofy gear (t-shirt, fleece hoody and Nascar jacket). We got in line and we noticed a family that we'd seen at breakfast and apparently were "stalking" around the park (everywhere we went, they were there too)

Absolutely love the 50th Anniversary ears, especially since we have the exact same pairs at home.

It was still to cold for us to even think about riding Splash so after Goofy we settled for our 2nd favorite WDW snack....Dole Whips. They were YUMMY!!! After eating/drinking our Dole Whips we went searching for one of the new Princesses...Tiana and Prince Naveen were supposed to be out. We'd seen Rapunzel earlier, but the line was way to long for us to even think about standing in it. We had to wait for 15 minutes or so before they came out but it was worth it. While we waited another Dis'er showed up with their kids. It was the "stalker" family. LOL

About this time it was 1pm and since we were staying nearby we decided to head back to BLT to take a nap. We will return to MK later in the day to see the Main Street Electrical Parade, which neither of us has ever seen, even though we've both been to DL, and to watch Wishes. On our way out we noticed my favorite red head so we got in line.

Next up MK part 2 night time.

[AnnaS]

Still following and thank you for taking the time to write and post your great pictures. Love all the characters and the one showing your back/jackets.

Happy Birthday to you too.

I would forward the picture to someone showing the cracked horse/tail (that's what it was right? on the carousel).

 

[teacher2525]

I'm enjoying your report so far and I am eager to hear more about BLT. I will be spending 3 nights there in August with my 3 boys

 

[jkcd513]

I swear we weren't following you- actually i think it was the other way around. At least that photo you snapped of me (without a head of course ) actually doesn't make me look too bad and I am very picky about pictures of myself so nice photo. I also just happened to reread your report for that day and saw the photo of my husband and kids with pirate goofy. I haven't even posted any pics from my trip yet so thanks for getting around to that before me

I think I will send it. The "back" photo made it on our Photopass book we made for this trip.

The boys will love the pool.

We did mention you. How I noticed was the cool Golden Mickey ears your DH was wearing. We just kept seeing ya. This was the first trip that the only things planned were La Nouba and drinking around the world and the TS meals. The photo was taken so I could find your name on DIS.

I hope to get part 2 done today. I just have 2 more great football games to watch and yes DW loves to watch football too.

Thank you everyone for reading and following along. I'm glad there are those of you who enjoy reading TR's.

We still didn't have gloves yet!!

This was our 1 and only Mickey ice cream bar

Dec 13th AK part 2
Man, was it cold in Florida

We did our best to keep warm LOL

For some reason, Goofy liked my jacket

Pooh bear didn't like DW's Tigger jacket

What was Pooh thinking

Tigger was happy to see DW

We headed back to Camp Minnie-Mickey to see this

I was happy. I knew there was a kid inside me

Then for some unknown reason, Goofy wanted to show me off

Then it was time to get back to the business at hand

Well thank you Goofy for the memories

 

[AnnaS]

[KYCruiseCrazy]

After DW and I got a good long 3 hrs nap, yes I said "nap", we headed back to MK for MSEP and Wishes. We stopped in front to grab a quick photopass photo.

We knew the park closed at 8 pm and the MSEP started at 7pm. So we camped out on Main Street in front of the Main Street Confectionery. While we waited, I noticed at CM selling balloons and I also noticed a photopass CM next to each other. So I asked the balloon CM if was possible to get my photo holding the balloons with the photopass person.

Guess what

Made my day. DW and I enjoyed watching MSEP for the first time ever. Why did I ever miss it when I went to DL when I was a kid? What a shame. DW and I both love MSEP. So, right after MSEP ended, we headed for a good location to watch Wishes. We stayed on Main Street close to the giant Christmas tree and as ALWAYS, loved it.

Now for the fun part. Instead of walking back (I still don't know why) we got in line for the resort monorail to ride back to CR then walk to BLT. It would have taken less time to walk back, but at WDW you walk just about every where. So we waited so 40 mins. While waiting, we got to hear and see also for the first time, Electrical Water Pageant. And was it amazing and LOUD!!!!!!!! When we got back to our room at BLT (8027) we could see and hear (with the doors closed) . Now, we are not complaining, this again was just an observation.

Well, as it goes for a vacation, we stayed up late and planned on heading to Epcot the next day.
