actually, lee, I think I changed the closed cartioning, not the audio.. which wouldn't matter to most people, but hubby uses the CC quite a bit (not as much since he got the hearing aids, but it still helps).
I believe he figured it out the next day! (hmm, that might be a good way to learn spanish!)

Hope your busy schedule is filled with good things and not bad! Waiting nicely for the next installment!
We woke up early again. Today would be our second and last character meal. Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom. I was very excited for this. I always say I was very excited and I was, everything was new to me, it was all a first so of course I would be excited.
It was a nice day again. But I wore jeans anyway. It wasn't too hot for jeans or too cold for shorts, the weather was perfect for either.
I chose the french braid as my do of the day, so Rig had some work to do before we left.
We got our camera and headed out the door. The bus stop was full and we had to wait for another bus and still it was standing room only. The bus ride itself was nothing to even write about.
We exited the bus at the park, this was becoming so routine for us. Skipped bag check and had our fingers scanned, and then I was back in my dream home away from home.
The swelling in Rigs eye had gone down enough for him to wear sunglasses without it bothering him. Nobody can rock a cowboy hat and shades like Rig can. Did I mention he's drop dead sexy?
Now I have said I was excited for Crystal Palace, I love Piglet, I want to take him under my wing and calm all his little piglet fears. "Oh
dear, dear dear dear." He's just so precious. I was looking forward to meeting him. Rig is a big Tigger fan, they are alot alike, they both have a way of finding little boy mischief to get into.
We gave our name and waited for our buzzer to go off. We used that time to get more castle pictures, and us pictures, the ones where you hold the camera out and squeeze in together. One of us always hates the picture and says, "Take it again." The cutest picture we took was with me on Rigs back, He took the picture and it turned out great. It's a favorite.
Our buzzer went off and we went in to meet the animals of the 100 acre wood. and eat.
We were sat to the right as you walk in, the table was for two and it was small, Rig had no place to set his hat so he had it on his knee. Our drinks were brought out. I got orange juice, Rig ordered coffee then we went up to get our food. I loaded up on fruit and I also got a muffin. Rig had so much crap on his plate. It was just too early for me to be eating so much food that is heavy like that. Rig however, you can put a cow between two slices of bread at 2:00am he would probably ask for ketchup finish the whole cow sandwich and ask for seconds.
Eeyor was the first one to come around, he's a shy guy, and kept covering his face with his ears. He didn't stick around too long, I blamed Rig for that, he was being rude and wouldn't stop eating to socialize. He did stop long enough to take a picture, but then it was back to the matter at hand.
Piglet was next. My favorite little guy. When I saw him coming over I told Rig to cover his plate with a napkin.
"Why?"
"Because piglet is coming and your plate is full of bacon."
"He won't care," Rig said and kept eating, "I'm sure I'm not the first person to eat bacon infront of him, besides he has celebrity status and has lost track of the little people."
"Are you trying to piss me off? You're talking about Piglet here, he is the sweetest little guy."
"He probably has a hit list of all the little pigs that make his bad side and he gives it to the cooks, I'm helping Piglet by eating his enemies."
"I worry about you sometimes ya know, I don't think your running with a full herd."
"That is my line Babylee, you can't use my line on me."
I stood up and gave Piglet a hug. "You are just the cutest little piglet." I told him, I swear I saw him blush. Rig took a couple of pictures of us and then Piglet moved on to the next table.
"Did you see him eyeing your plate Rig? He saw the bacon."
"I'm telling you Leela, Piglet is not as innocent as you think, the guy runs with a tiger and a bear in his posse, he's probably their ring leader, a ruthless SOB, I did not see him shed a single tear over my breakfast."
"Poor little guy, he's probably numb with grief."
"Why do you want to guilt me out of enjoying my breakfast?" Rig asked
I shrugged and winked at him. It's just something to do, small talk over breakfast. I also guilt him when he's grilling steaks, "Do you think the cows can smell that out in the pasture?"
Tigger was the next to come around. Rig stopped eating for him, he was all about Tigger, he had to have his picture and Tigger even wore Rigs hat in a few of them. Tigger is really entertaining, he simulated riding a horse and working a lasso.
Winnie the Pooh was the last, I wanted a picture of Rig with Pooh bear but he said he would pass, Winnie the pooh wasn't hearing that and made Rig get up and pose for a picture.
"Is that the last of the critters? Can I eat in peace now?"
"If your conscience will let you, go ahead."
Rig shook his head, "Babylee..."
The park was hopping when we got out there. We wandered, again no plan just enjoying where ever we ended up. And at that time we ended up at Mickeys Philharmagic. We snaked in and around and was ushered straight to the doors of the theater, a show would be starting soon.
"Are we going to sit in the back?" Rig asked with a huge smile on his face and winking.
"You need to settle down cowboy, we have a long day ahead of us."
"But are we going to sit in the back?" He asked again
I laughed, "Next time, ok?"
Rig looked at the guy next to him, "I can't get no lovin from her."
"Omagosh Rig, stop it!"
We sat in the middle of the theater. "Don't sleep through this." I told Rig.
He gave me a crooked grin, "I can't make no promises."
I don't even know if I can come close to explaining how great Mickeys Philharmagic was. I don't think any thing I say could do it justice. From the minute it starts with dinald duck you are pulled in. the smell of apple pie and the spritz of water to your face as your hair blows back from the release of the champagne cork. The music is amazing. And Rig must have liked it he stayed awake for the whole thing.
"did you see the hidden Mickey?" I asked him as we were leaving.
"No."
"It was in the carpet ride scene."
"I didn't see it."
"You're not very observant when you should be."
"I stayed awake for the whole time, how more observant can I be?"
"No Rig, you see I watch TV all over the screen, I check out everything, you only watch the center and miss so much."
Rig stopped walking and turned to look at me, "Really babylee? Aee you trying to say that you watch TV better than me?"
I started laughing, that's not what I was saying but it sounded so funny to hear Rig put it that way.
It was a nice day again. But I wore jeans anyway. It wasn't too hot for jeans or too cold for shorts, the weather was perfect for either.
I chose the french braid as my do of the day, so Rig had some work to do before we left.

I did too. My husband is about to kill me because I read straight through dinner and church and I am still readingWHEW! I made it through all 44 pages in one sitting. And I still need to shower for work---work that starts in 45 minutes!!!. Luckily I am on 10 days of "Staycation" starting tomorrow and can keep coming back for more
I've skipped the majority of "is it true or is it fake" but in scrolling to your posts they are hard to miss. But I say WHO CARES?!? Just keep the story coming
He is now just rolling his eyes and saying how can these people write so much about Disney? I said Easy because we all want to pretend we are there and this gives us a glimpse. Only 16 more days for me whoo hoo!

I swear I saw phillarmagic 2 times and never saw that hidden Mickey!! I think I was staring at my kids faces and the joy on them not to noticeGood eyes though and good update
Don't you just LOVE seeing Disney thru the eyes of your kids (or in my case, my grandkids)?
Thanks for the latest update Lee! Sure hope all is going well on the homefront. Keep those updates coming.
MPh is a wonderful, WONDERFUL show. I love all the smells and I wish that they sold them all along with the Soarin smells in a bottled set so I could spray them at home and remind me of Disney!!
Rig is kinder than my DH....when Piglet came by the table on our last trip to CP my DH started saying "baconbaconbaconbaconbacon"
And Piglet immediately grabbed the hubs' baseball cap, threw it on the floor and stomped on it. Serves him right!!!
Sooo....I love how you say you took the perfect PICTURE of you two, and then you don't post pics. it's such a tease!!
