Day 2. Part 3.
Let's try this again....stupid photobucket.
As the raindrops slowly fell, we decided to get some cover for a bit. We headed into Mickey's Philharmagic. I questioned if it was even open because there wasn't a single person in line. A CM was being quite chatty with another guest and I guess I paused so long because she finally told me to go inside. There was absolutely no one in the queue inside so I took the oppurtunity to take a few pictures.
Or one. The CM at the door told us that we better get moving since the doors were about to close. I love the posters in the queue but didn't get a chance to take anymore pictures. Oh well. I did manage to get this one very quickly before I went inside to sit.
We had some time to take two very unflattering pictures of each other in our 3D glasses. Sorry, they are hideous, they will not be shared. The seats in the theater were very comfortable and roomy. The theater wasn't crowded at all so no one was around us but we think that even if the theater was at capacity the pooh sized crowd would sill be very comfortable.
We both really enjoyed Mickey's Philharmagic. DH had never seen it before and it is my favorite since my last trip. I think it's just so well done.
We decided that we had our fill of Fantasyland for now and moved over to Liberty Square. Here are some pictures of walk. I had read in the Imagineers guide (I think) about the buildings getting more "Liberty Square-ish" as you got closer to the Square. I paid attention and it really is neat how the buildings in all the lands don't drastically change.
I will never look at the old SkyWay the same way after reading Realityland. It is very pretty though.
The wait posted for Haunted Mansion was 10 or 15 minutes so we decided to hop on. Boy, do they make those CM's look creepy! We ended up walking right into the stretching room with no wait at all.
I made a crack about MIL as I snapped this picture.
The turnstiles at HM were very tight for the both of us. We both had to go in sideways. It's worth struggling to go through them though. I don't remember all the details of HM to notice all of the new details from the refurbishment. I can tell you that I absolutely adored the Attic Room. I don't want to give away too many details in case people want to be suprised when they go but it was my favorite part of the ride. We were able to ride in a Doom Buggy together and were very comfy. No squished at all. DH has a longer torso so his head was poking out a bit but nothing too bad. I had never noticed that on anyone before. The ghost we had in our Doom Buggy on the way out was not in the best position as it looked like he was doing something inappropriate to me. DH got a kick out of it and I shushed him since there were little kids around!
After HM, we headed over to Hall of Presidents. We were able to walk right in for the 10:30 show. We probably were about 10 minutes early for the show.
I especially love the way the lights reflect from the ceiling. You will never look at Disney light fixture without thinking of LL. Muhahahaha!
The seats in the theater were fine for both of us. I really enjoyed Hall of Presidents since I hadn't seen it since I was a child and DH had never seen it. I love all the details of the Presidents. My favorite one was Ronald Reagan. He sits with his leg crossed over his knee and every so often his foot would shake just a bit. It reminded me of myself in a meeting at work, just wanting it to be over. Hehehe.
After Hall of Presidents we went over to Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. Oh, how I love Christmas! We ended up buying the Special Event Music CD and a Lilo and Stitch Christmas ornament.
This was going to be a multiple page update but since I am at work, I am going to keep it at one page. Hopefully I can do another one tonight.
I think you would be fine at a character meal by yourself. It's Disney! Which one do you want to go too?
I'll have to show Connor that one!
I have made a promise to myself that I will catch it next year. Of course then I'll have a new President to see.
