My Jan'11 Birthday TR A day of sickness, a night of rain, and a week of fun and food.

We sat right outside of the Barber Shop. It was an awesome spot. I was able to see the parade start behind the doors. Most of the characters acknowledged my birthday. I would really recommend this spot.





Minnie and Mickey waving at us.











Both times we saw the parade, Alladin was very playful. He was always making faces at everyone. Really hamming it up for the cameras.

I love the Step Sisters.





Ariel told me Happy Birthday.









We decided to follow the parade down Main Street. My nanny thought it would be fun.

We made our way down Main Street by shopping. First we stopped to watch this glass piece being made.



Soon enough, we were in front the castle again. I went to the smoking section right behind the castle. On the way, I passed the long line for Rapunzel. So on my way back, I snapped a few pictures. No way was I waiting in that line.





We watched the castle show before the Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It Parade passed by.









Maleficent, my favorite.

It was now time for the Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It Parade.









There wasn’t much of a crowd where we were standing. We were on the Tomorrowland side of the hub. It was a great spot to watch the parade.





We made our way over to Cosmic Ray’s for dinner. I forgot to take pictures of our dinner. Sorry. I do remember that is was very good. I had a chili dog, fries and a chocolate cake.

Our last ride of the day and trip was the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.





As you can see, my mom was very cold, so she was ready to go back to the hotel. After we were finished riding, my mom made her way out. My nanny decided to stay.

I decided to watch from the Hub. I was near the edge of the inner circle. It was a nice spot to watch the show. I wish I would’ve have been a little closer.



As I was watching the show, I think I saw myself on Cinderella Castle. I believe it was the picture of Dale and I in Tomorrowland. I am not completely sure, but I do think it was my picture. I now understand why they decided to put pictures on the castle. That was an awesome feeling, seeing myself up there.





The part when Walt Disney came on and said “To all who come to this place, welcome” is my favorite part. I love that they included that.



It was now time for Wishes. I went over to the smoking section near the Plaza to watch.





This was a great spot, not very crowded and I had a decent view. It was very peaceful to watch Wishes by myself. My nanny was up near the train station watching.

 

[jesemeca]

I could watch Wishes every night. I just love it.







It was now time to make my way down Main Street one last time. I stopped at every Photo Pass I came across. When I made it to my nanny, she asked what took me so long. Then she said she figured it was me taking pictures.













My first photo pass of the trip was just my nanny and I and the last was just her and I again.

One last picture of me at Magic Kingdom. I was getting kinda sad, but I knew I would be back soon.



On the way to the bus, which surprisingly didn’t have a long line. I only had a long line one night and that was the night of EMH at Magic Kingdom.



I walked back to the room at Pop with my nanny. I called home to find out what snacks everyone wanted me to bring them home. Then I was back out the door to go to Downtown Disney.





While in the pin shop at DTD, I started talking to the guy that worked there. He was very funny. I made a comment about being back before the end of the year, he tells me “So will I.” Then he tells me that I better come find him when I go back. He said he will be waiting for me.





I made a quick stop at World Of Disney for my cookbook, then it was off to Goofy’s candy store for some goodies to bring home.





I made it back to the room, packed up some of my stuff and went to bed. Tomorrow was check out day.

 

[jesemeca]

We packed everything into the car and then made our way to the lobby for breakfast and to say goodbye to my friend.





This is where my friend works, the gift shop portion.



We made one last check of the room and then walked over to the lake.





You can kinda see, in the background, that they were working on the buildings across the lake.





One last picture at Pop, before we loaded in the car and started the long drive home.
