UPDATE HERE!!!
Sunday, Nov. 25th ~ MAGIC KINGDOM!!
I awoke this morning at 5 something! I couldnt help it! I absolutely love the Magic Kingdom!
It is where I am most blissful in all of the world... yes, as in on earth not just WDW!
We did the usual morning thing and got our coolies in the car and headed into the world again. Soon we saw this:
Wait
one more time.
Ahhhhhhhhh
.. bliss.
We parked in the MK lot and hopped a tram to the TTC. We had never been to the TTC before. I was imagining it swarmed with masses of people going in all different directions! Yeah, we had the place pretty much to ourselves. We opted to take the monorail over. We were excited to go through the Contemporary because that is where we stayed the last time.
In no time at all we where walking into the happiest place on earth! Grabbed a map and a times guide and into the square. Christmas music was playing and the decorations were just as beautiful as I had remembered.
We headed right for Goofy on the bench. I hadnt told the boys that hed talk to them. I just told them to sit with him so I could take a picture. This is them when they hear him snoring! Priceless.
Here are some pretty decorations on the railroad station.
These were on all the lamp posts.
And walking toward the castle.
And the big tree was gorgeous. Wait until you see it lit up!
These pointsettia trees were all over too. Very pretty.
After we took all that in we headed for Tomorrowland! We had a little man who was just itching to take a spin in a racecar! We got over there and Abby is complaining she does not want to ride. Not by herself. Not with one of the boys. Not with one of us. She does not want to do it. Tom was trying to reason with her and it was starting to get ugly. Begrudgingly I asked her if she would like to sit in the bleachers while we rode. Yes she would like that. So we walked over there and I instructed her to stay right there, dont talk to strangers and to STAY RIGHT THERE! Nervously I left my baby sitting there and went and got in line. I kept my eye on her the whole time though. Tom noticed and told me to stop it! Shes fine
not a baby
stop worrying so much so on and so forth.
And she was fine. She even took pictures of us with her camera and waved as we went past. Whew
crisis averted.
Here is Owen, sporting his Hot Wheels sunglasses, taking the wheel of his racecar!
I rode with Owen and Tom rode with Evan. We had a blast. He giggled and giggled and I giggled and giggled. Sometimes in the car Tom will be funny and move the steering wheel back and forth and say he is TV driving. You know, like this guy:
Well Owen was doing that all over the speedway and cracking himself up! Look, Mom, Im TV driving! It was pretty funny.
About halfway through the track he decided he couldnt hold the gas pedal down and drive at the same time. So I took over
with my right foot. My bad ankle foot. Not a good idea. It was really hurting when we were finished. Oh and here is Evan peeking back at us from his car.
We collected Abby she was right where we left her and we headed to the teacups! We had very little wait. I think we waited one round before it was our turn. We all crammed into the same cup.
Huh, we all fit fine last time.
Oh, yeah these kids are a little bigger now. But, too late now! Here we are spinning:
Tom recently began taking blood pressure medication and we discovered it made him very queasy on this ride. Here he is looking down just waiting for it to be over.
Uncle John
dont you dare tell him that I put that on there! He thinks I agreed to not put any pics of him in my report!
After the teacups we stopped for a kool aid break. From there we head to the TTA. We hadnt been on it before. We got on the moving ramp to go up and I discovered that having my foot in that upward slant position was excruciating! So I rode up standing on one foot like a flamingo! I am sure I got some sideways glances for that but, eh
do what you gotta do!
Here are Tom and Abby. I didnt even have to say Act like you love each other! this time. Awww
the magic is sinking in!
After seeing the Buzz ride from the TTA the kids were ready to get on it! Again, very little wait. The line just moved right along and before long we were hopping in the cars. Abby rode with her dad and I got in between the boys. Huh? I dont get a gun? Aw, man! Owen did share with me though because he loves his mama!
Here is the same buzz pic you see over and over again - just with my space rangers this time!:
After Buzz Owen wanted to ride Astro Orbitor. Abby and Evan are both a little afraid of heights and they did not want to go on it. So they went alone and Abby, Evan and I went into Star Traders to do some shopping while we waited. Here is Evan trying on some hats. First a santa hat:
Then the mickey snowman hat:
I know why you dont see anyone actually wearing these
they are heavy! Anyway
he picked out some Mickey ears
youll see those later. Abby got a HSM2 pin for herself. She was also eyeing the
crocs. She said her feet hurt in her tennis shoes and asked if she could get some. I was reluctant but it didnt matter anyway because they didnt have her size in a color she liked.
Soon Tom and Owen were rejoining us after having a great time on Astro! Owen whined, Why does Evan get those ears? I want some too! Easy enough to accommodate
back into Star Traders to get some more ears. The check out CM said something about déjà vu and I said twins and he nodded and said ,Ah. Yep, I get that a lot.
With that mission accomplished we decided we were rumbly in our tumblys. I offered pizza at Pinnochios or corn dog nuggets at Caseys Corner. I planned on eating at Cosmic Rays on Tuesday when we came back for
MVMCP. They all chose Caseys so we walked back toward Main Street. I was a little worried because we were trying to eat at noon and it was bustling. But we didnt have a wait at all inside. The kids were saying there werent any tables open outside and I being the studied disser that I am said, Thats okay
there are some tables back here! and we proceeded to go through the back door into the seating area with the bleachers and little tables and the big screen TV playing cartoons. Score! A table with 5 chairs.
After we were done eating we decided to wander through the shops for a bit. Abby was still checking out the crocs and pleading her sore feet case. Our resolve to not buy them was starting to soften. However, the cute pink ones only come in little kids sizes and this kid wears a womans size 8! The womans color option was a coral kind of pink that she didnt like. Insert soup nazi voice here: Nope! No crocs for you!
Thats all for now folks! Next up
Adventureland where we go to see a man about a pirate!
and 
Love your screen name! Glad you're here... jump in anytime! 
I am still not done Christmas shopping! Tom is proving to be difficult for me this year. 
Bear with me... I'll get one up soon.
I talked to Santa, he told me he is really excited about Christmas this year!!!! 
JK!
(Pretend this guy is a flamingo!
