Hi everyone. I wanted to let you all know that Mica came home from the hospital last night. She still has a JP drain in her stomach to pull out the infection and will need to be followed by a visiting nurse for a bit but at least she's home. Once all the infection clears up they will pull the drain then in a few weeks she will have to go back into the hospital for an operation to remove the rest of her appendix. She's really glad to be home and feeling somewhat better. She'll have to be off work for a little bit and follow a low fiber/low residue diet for awhile. We're all glad she's feeling better and is back home. Thanks everybody for the prayers and well wishes. 
I should be able to start back on my reviews this weekend.

Since Mica's stomach was still quesy we only rode it twice today then headed over to the Backlot express for dinner.
This was the first time I had been on this ride. It's great!! After the ride ended the CMs asked if you wanted to ride again. We could ride as often and we wanted without getting off. We rode 3 times in a row then went outside to the dessert party. There were tables and chairs set up down Pixar Street for everyone to sit and enjoy the desserts. Large outdoor patio heaters were placed throughout the seating area to keep everyone warm. There were tables set up on both sides of the street with the desserts. Board games were scattered along the serving tables for decorations and CMs made sure the desserts were replenished frequently. There were large trays of fresh fruit with dip, bite size pastries, a coffee table and a cash bar. The fruit tray was full of large strawberries, blackberries, cantalope, honeydew, kiwi and star fruit. Everything there was fresh and delicious. Living in PA we dont have fresh fruit like that here during the winter. I went back twice for the fruit. 
There were also 3 trays of pastries: mini cheesecakes, pumpkin tarts, nut tarts and chocolate cake slices. I only tried a nut tart but it was very good. Mica had a piece of the cake and a cheesecake , she said they were both excellent. 
There were 3 large urns, one with coffe, one with decaf, one with hot water. Large baskets held different types of tea and hot chocolate and there were bottles of gourmet flavoring syrups. My favorite part though were the garnishes. 4 large containers held real whipped cream, cinnamon sticks, chocolate curls and orange peel. It was a little chilly that night so all this warm goodness was definately appreciated. There was also an ice cream cart set up so that anyone who wished could have ice cream bars. I didnt get anything from the cash bar but it was doing a brisk business. The DIS unplugged team was walking around passing out glow necklaces to everyone and making sure everyone was having a good time. After about an hour Mica started getting sick again. 
I was concerned about getting her back to the resort since the park had already closed. There was to be transportation back to the resorts from the event but I wasnt sure when it would be arriving. I asked some of the workers there and they directed me to Alex (webmaster alex). He went to find John (webmaster john) and they both contacted the disney transportaion to find out out when the buses would be arving to take the guests back to their hotels. They came back to where we were sitting to inform us a bus would be there in about 20-25 mins. They offered to call and pay for a cab to get us back sooner if she felt that bad. She said she would be ok if we just sat there until the bus came. When the buses came the driver took us right to our bus stop at CBR. He even offered to take us closer than the stop so we wouldnt have to walk that far.
