Continuing on with Day 4! December 30th
The morning we spent shopping at Downtown Disney!

We also had a great time just sitting around for a bit watching as this guy
kept spitting on everyone's heads! :rotfl2:

Finally Chloe was doing what she wanted to do! Just sit around and people watch for a while! She bought the Big Minnie Mouse Doll she has in her hands as well!

So with our morning of shopping done... and a casual lunch that we ate outside on the patio around Downtown Disney... we were ready to head back to the hotel and have quick nap and freshen up for another evening at the MAGIC KINGDOM!! :wizard:

I'm so glad we planned for another night at MK since Jamie had gotten sick
on our first night there. So the plan was to re-do anything Jamie missed and and also to re-ride favorites like Space Mountain.

I kept saying I wasn't going to ride Splash Mountain since I just didn't want to get wet. So you'll just have to see what happens and if I suck it up!

The weather was finally getting nice. The temps were heading up to 23 C this afternoon so we were looking forward to a nice evening in the park.
 
Hi Debbie, hope you are enjoying your weekend! I am so sick of these temperatures I had planned on not leaving the house today, but I forgot my autopac is due tomorrow so guess I have no choice:rotfl2:

Sounds like a great day! I love being able to take that midday break and then going back out in the evening....it really is the best!
 

Just a few more photos as we made our way out of Downtown Disney

OH, and when I needed to find a washroom, I found this nice clean and empty bathroom! With the crowds there that day, I couldn't believe I found this nice restroom all to myself!! ( Ya... I know.. It's weird taking a photo of a bathroom! I think it was in Raglan Road)

And we spent way too much money and had to have things delivered to our hotel!

I took the advice of a fellow disser that stressed to me how important it is to take a break and to have a morning to sleep in. I'm so glad we listened to her!
(Yes.. that would be you Vicky!! :banana:)

I'm so sick of this cold weather... I don't even want to leave the house!!
That reminds me... I've got to get my autopac done in the next couple weeks too!!
 
Ok i'm in :) What was it like being there for New Years Eve? I've always wanted to go for it, we just missed it by a couple of days this year :(. Sorry to hear both your children got sick. I remember one trip I had gotten sick on the flight back home from disney. It totally sucked being sick on the plane :(. Glad everyone is healthy and hope they stay healthy. I can't wait to hear about the rest of you trip.

Hi Jenny!
Thanks for joining in!!
NYE was so awesome!! :wizard: I can't even tell you!! We spent it in Epcot and pretty much drank our way around the world!! :cheer2:

I'm almost there on the TR! Just have to get the rest of Dec. 30th posted.
:surfweb:

I've been back to work and it's just so hard to find the time and before I started the TR I had no idea how much time it actually takes!! :headache:

So I'm going to try to bite the bullet and get through the rest of day 4 so that I can continue on with NYE!!! :goodvibes

Finally moving along!!

It's Day 4! December 30th. We slept in (if you can call sleeping til 8 am sleeping in!!) :rotfl:

We spent the morning shopping and browsing and people watching at Downtown Disney!!
Everyone's healthy and hoping to stay that way!! :cutie:

We went back to the hotel for a mid afternoon break and freshen up and then it was time to head back to Magic Kingdom for the evening!!
MK had EMH until 3 am!!!! So we figured we had time to revisit whatever Jamie missed when he had to leave the park on Day 2 since he was sick!!

The weather was finally nice. It went up to about 23 C this day and we could wear shorts and be comfortable.

So after our rest we headed back to MK for our ADR at Tony's Town Square. As soon as we entered the park, Jamie went off for fastpasses for Space mountain and was going to come back and meet up with us at Tony's. We then realized something was happening right at the front of the park and it was the flag lowering ceremony and the dapper dan's were singing so we decided to hang out and watch for a bit. We figured if we were a few minutes late for our ADR we'd be ok and Tony's was right there anway.

Castmates chose a little boy from the crowd to say the American Pledge and it was really nice to watch. I think these are the things that make Disney so special... when you just happen upon special events.

I didn't take any still photos of the ceremony since I videotaped it. But if you have a chance to watch it... it was a very nice ceremony.

So on to dinner at Tony's:

When we finished eating, the server brought out a nice complimentary
dessert for DH who was wearing his B-Day Badge!! (his birthday is Jan 1st)
so that badge was coming in handy!! The server brought him a card that was signed by a bunch of the staff as well!! A nice souviner to take home!
Hubby thought he could take his badge off now but Chloe and Jamie say "No Way" because we kept getting free desserts to share!!

When we finished dinner we headed out to the park!! Jamie had a mission to ride Splash Mountain so we split up and he went and did that! and we were going to meet up at Toon Town since hubby missed that when he took Jamie back to hotel sick 2 nights ago!
After Jamie rode Splash mountain he met up with us and we all went back and did Micky's Philharmagic (2nd time for me and Chloe, 1st time for Rene and Jamie)
I loved Philharmgagic, probably more the 2nd time than the first time! I think I could just keep sitting through that show! :)

Hanging out on Dumbo:
DisneyWorld2010208.jpg


So when Jamie met up with us in Toon Town, we were just about going to enter the Judges Tent and Chloe got so excited when she saw that Micky and Minnie were there for photos!!
She ran up to the front and yelled "Mickey, I just want to meet Mickey"!!
The cast mate heard her and told her that there was a 45 minute wait to meet Micky and Minnie and Chloe was absolutely deflated and said she came to disney and all she wanted to do was meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse!! :eek:
The Castmate saw how Choe reacted and asked her why she didn't get their early to which Chloe replied " Well, my mom has this plan.........blah blah blah
to which the castmate responed " ok, come this way and dropped her rope and took us all in a back way and told us the wait would be 10 minutes!!!!
:woohoo: :woohoo:
Is this what "they" call a little bit of pixie dust at Disney? !! :upsidedow

So we go in a back way and are about to see Mickey and Minnie and DH asks Chloe if she feels a little bit guilty that she has just skipped in front of all these little kids in line!!
Can you guess Chloe's answer? NO WAY!!! She's just a big happy kid!!!
:cutie:

So after meeting Mickey and Minnie Jamie is insisting that we all go back to do Splash Mountain!
I just didn't want to get wet!!!! :confused3
But we all walked over anyway to see what the stand by time was and it turned out not to be too long so they managed to push me into line and I figured I'll just see!! I can always leave through the chicken line!!
:laughing:
 
Ha.. sorry to interrupt my own Trip Report, but it's Friday night and I'm tired and I need a glass of wine! :cloud9:
See you tomorrow!!

Debbie
 
Ha... still trying to find time for another update!! :worship:

Is anybody else having trouble with their countdown tickers? I can't seem to get mine back!

I read on a post some where on the dis that there is a problem with distickers right now. I sure that it is being worked on and should be fixed soon.
 
Well I'm going to try to get my countdown label back and see if it works.
I just never know which "copy and paste" one to use!

Hopefully, later today, I will get the rest of Day 4 finished so I can move on to
NYE in Epcot!!

Debbie
 
Yes, Success with the signature!!
This is a new photo anyway of the family in our "onesies" at Christmas!! :goodvibes
 
Also, just needed to share today how excited I am! :cloud9:

You see, I had bought myself this really nice mug at DTD and it was a Mary
Poppins Mug!
But on the way home, in my husband's luggage, the handle broke off!
(Why does everything happen when my husband gets his hands on things! :confused3_)
Anyway, we have this really neat little store here that sells all kinds of retro stuff as well as Disney stuff. The store is called "Micheal Rodents"!! :lmao:
Get it???

So I called him up and sent him a photo of the mug on facebook and
he just let me know yesterday, that he was able to find it and he ordered it and it's there and ready for me to pick up!!!
I tried looking on line for the mug but no success!! So.... I'm so happy my mug can be replaced!! Yay for me! :thumbsup2

check out his store if your interested:

Here's a picture of my mug!
You can see where we've tried to superglue it! But it's just not the same and I would always doubt the strength of the handle and worry that hot coffee would spill over me!
Hey, the guy over at Micheal Rodent's told me he got more than one mug in if anyone of my Winnipeg friends are interested!
