hey everyone!!!
i miss my mayers - it's been so crazy around here - i barely have had time to check in...
alright i'm gonna attemp TR PART DEUX!!!
DAY 2 - MAY 6TH MAGIC KINGDOM
we set an alarm for 6:15 - got up at 9:30

we got the day started by going to our food court at POR - which was okay... i was never really impressed with the selection there but, what can you do? Bob got hot chocolate, which i found to be incredibly random in florida in 80 degree weather but, hey to each his own right?
we get on the bus to MK rockin the mickey ears that we got the night before at epcot - on the bus i start to see the tippy top of the castle and i get butterflies in my stomach - i am sooooo excited - and i tell bob to look the other way because i want him to have the experience of seeing it for the first time at the end of main street
so, we arrived at the magic kingdom and the first thing that we bump into is the main street usa show/parade.... and we stop and watch until it's over... i remember leaning over and telling DH that this is why disney is so magical - you're just walking down the street and all of a sudden there's a parade!
we go straight to the map of the park because we are both rookies and don't know where anything is at

so, we decide that tomorrowland for a fp for space mountain is our fist mission. Buzz lightyear was the first ride that we did that day(1st time for both) - followed by Stitch's great escape(1st time for both) - then we head over to space mountain - all 3 we loved ...
after wandering around tomorrowland for a while - we went to frontierland and FP SM (my favorite!!!!!

) and rode BTMR. (i found the hidden mickey at the end of the ride

) then we took the little boat and went to tom sawyer island - the driver was so cute - he said when he was parking the boat "alright, kids if you want to lose your parents - head to the caves - parents, if you want to lose your kids - head to the caves" he was just this little old man and i just wanted to squeeze him - he was too cute

.... so when we got there we went the opposite way than everyone else so i'm pretty sure that we missed some stuff - but it was still really cute over there - we went on the little rickety bridges and took pictures in front of "tom loves becky" signs - it was really fun and we got some really cute pictures
and on the trip back we we're saying that it was really nice that we had so much time on our vacation - because normally we would skip something like that for a bigger attraction and we were really happy we got to go over there.
after frontierland we headed to lunch at the columbia harbour house - food was pretty good - standard, CS food, but good. I had a BLT salad and Bob had a chicken basket with fries... the bathroom at that place was ridiculously small and i would be very familiar with it the rest of the trip
after lunch we go to the haunted mansion and go to fantasyland afterward - we saw phillharmagic for the 1st time and we both LOOOOOVVVEEEEED it!!! It may be my new favorite thing at WDW overall!!! it was soo cute! we FP peter pan and got in line for IASW after that we went to Snow White and that was cute too (if you can't tell - there is a theme running through here - we love all rides big and small) when we come out of SW - and there is a CM standing there and he introduces himself as Neil from the "dream squad"
I THINK TO MYSELF - THIS IS IT!!!! I AM STAYING IN THE CASTLE - OH MY GOD!!! THE PINS ARE TOTALLY WORTH IT AND THESE SILLY HATS JUST PAID FOR THEMSELVES!!!

so he asks us when we got married - offers us some advise and starts to ask us some info about ourselves... and he starts filling something out - OMG - OMG - i think to myself - this is how it happens... like they pick SW - the most random ride for two grown folks with no kids getting off of it and say "hey you've been chosen!!!"
So, Neil calls everyones attention (and my heart drops) and starts to tell them to congratulate our new marriage and has everyone sing happy birthday to me (even though - in our conversation i tell him that it's on sunday - but whatever) so then he asks us if we are staying for the fireworks tonight and i stupidly say "no - we have dinner reservations at o'hana - but we're hoping to see them from there"
"DOUGH- YOU IDIOT!!!" they don't give stuff like that away to people who leave during the fireworks - so Neil says "Oh ok, well have a great night here is your congratulations certificates for your honeymoon - your husbands first trip - and your upcoming birthday"
awwwwww - no trip to the castle but Neil was still awesome... i still wonder what would have happened if i said i would be there for the fireworks...
anyways - we walk toward dumbo and BRIEFLY consider it - but, decide that an hour is way tooooo long for the two of us to wait for a flying elephant...
and we start to walk toward the front to head back to the resort to get ready for dinner later that night... as we are leaving we catch the tail end of the parade as we are walking towards the gates at around 4 or 4:30
SO, we go back to the hotel and crash for a while - shower - change - go to the Polynesian before our dinner. We left more than enough time to get there because we were hoping they could take us early - NO luck - so we head down to the beach and stroll around for a while - laid in the hammocks - watched the ducks (one of which looked like a duck version of Gary Bucci - CRAZZZZY and strung out

) and watched the boats - saw them setting up for a bonfire they were i guess going to have there later that night...it was so amazingly relaxing - those hammocks were maybe the best part of that whole day...
then we go upstairs to check in and request window seats for the fireworks (proudly displaying our "just married" pins)

and they say they are a little behind schedule so it'll be another 20 minutes ... booooo

- oh well we go to the bar and we each get one of those "blue glowtini's" - - - they are STROOONG! it almost knocked me on my behind!!!
we waited more like 35 minutes - but we did get like the best seats in the house and a really cool "cousin" to serve us
the food was amazing!!! I love Ohana more everytime i go there. So after everything - our meal - the fireworks - we get a special dessert from the kitchen. Strawberry tuxedos and dresses on a plate that said "congratulations bob and heather" soooo cute - and good
SO that was our whole day 2!!! After that we just went back to our hotel and went to bed because the next day was rope drop at MGM!!!
On a side note - I love love love love the poly - i will totally stay there some day when i'm rich
