Armed with assumptions, the Loud Family heads over to Toon Town. My thoughts:
Any and every little princess loving girl should be at the parade right about now. That should free up most of the "visiting the princess" line. Boy, was I ever wrong!
Felony and I staked out our rightful place in line while the boys headed out for a WRTA. The came back (not broke in line, they could talk to us beyond the ropes), stood for a few minutes, and decided to leave again. They looked around the Judges Tent gift shop, and followed my pointing out of CMs. Still, they came back, and we had yet to move. Someone started a rumor in the line that we werent moving because the princesses were in the parade. You mean to tell me that there in only ONE of each princess on duty? Note that all of this yelling I do is more of a sarcastic exclamation rather than a redneck type of hollerin. I have no clue if that made one bit of sense! Anyhow, the boys run off for a snack or something, and we have yet to move. They return again to tell me they have found a bench and will be taking an extended TRT. In the meantime, Felony is perfectly entertained with her pink Gameboy
.Ok, I have to thank Sirius for talking me into this unplanned expenditure. He convinced me that all three kidlets needed a gameboy to entertain them in lines
well, Sirius, you have one, cant you share? Sirius, no, then what will I play? Ok, fine. He was right. There, I said it, are you happy? Anyhow, Felony was fine waiting, but Loud Mama was getting rather antsy. I tried to converse with my surrounding supposed Disney lovers. One man was holding a place in line for his daughter, and spent his time on the phone. I know all about his trip from Michigan, that they stopped in NC for the night, and they were staying at the Nick Hotel. Humph! Offsiters
who would stoop to that level
and announce it so freely? I knew more than I cared, but when he finally got off the phone, or maybe the battery died, I took it upon myself to ask him about his drive from Michigan. Then the wife joins us, and she was not ready to chat. Hey, lady, newsflash: I didnt want to talk to you either! I just wanted to pass the time in line, and since we would be exchanging CO2 for the next hour, we might as well do something to entertain ourselves! Now, either one of two things happened: either she had given up and decided that if she didnt talk, I was just going to keep on talking, so she might as well join my conversation or she joined my conversation because she felt she had no other option! Either way, I win! I learned why North Carolina schools are getting so many teachers from Michigan. And she learned that the March sanitarium tour was almost over. About this time, someone else with a sense of humor was teleported into the line
because he, his wife, and I began some more entertaining verbal exchanges. I quickly turned my back on the snooty patooty Wolverine. I doubt she was offended, but rather thankful to be freed from the psycho babble. We joked about different things about the characters and their potty breaks: wondering if the princesses had some sort of high tech quick release for the bottom of their dress, or did they fully disrobe, or was it more of the prom approach where two girls held your dress over your head while you went. Fun stuff! Hey, we were all half baked! From the sun, people, not from what you are thinking! Well, I can only vouch for myself! Im on
because we are coming back to Disney!! Finally, it was our turn with the royal court. Princess Aurora was less than impressed that she was Felonys favorite. Hey, grumpy beauty, did they forget to paint a smile on your face today? I think Prince Phillip must have made her ill..probably because he was looking sooooo hot! And she was soooo not! Honestly, Im not trying to dis Sleeping Beauty, but she just wasnt showing pride in her work and being a team player. Perhaps a DISgruntled employee? Heh huh heh huh, I said DIS! Anyhow, Cindy and Snow White did a much better job earning their paychecks for the day. Finally we exit and we find our boys, but P9 is a little pouty. Mr. Clean wouldnt share one of his games!
From here, we headed back to the tea cups, then to the Indy Speedway again. This part is a little blurry, but prior to 7:00 we rode SM, Buzz, and TTA. At 7:00 we staked out the perfect parade viewing location (PPVL). P9 went off in search of popcorn, and other budget busting snacks, while I assigned myself the task of defending the fort along with the help of the friendly CM. People kept hurdling over us so he put up the ropes a little early. This particular CM was a strict enforcer. P9 returned with all kinds of goodies, and we chowed down and took in the sites and sounds of the MK. I remember feeling so relaxed, happy, and so many other adjectives! On this particular day, we had a little bonus parade of a few marching bands from around the country. The nice group of parents next to me, had warned me that they were a rowdy bunch. Who are they kidding? They didnt have one bullhorn, no cowbells, and no airhorns! They havent seen rowdy! I bet theyve never even been to cow patty bingo, or a corn shuckin contest! Oh, and how about the Spiveys Corner Hollerin contest? Now those are some rowdy folks! Anyhow, Mr. angry foreign my kids cant see man suddenly showed up. The nice band boosters were seated until their kids rounded the corner, and this is when angry guy started his rampage. I finally turned around and said, This is not the real parade, these folks just want to see their kids, and as soon as they pass, they are going to leave and you will get an undeserved prime viewing spot! So cool it Mr. foreign guy because you are ruining my nirvana! I had spent most of the vacation on some uptight mission and the Disney game warden had finally shot my rump full of magic tranquil dust and you are not going to ruin it for me! Oh, but I did manage to get a couple of nice people squeezed in before the suddenly lost their English folks took over. (Prior to the band parade, the band parents told ALL of the people behind them, that they would stand for about 45 seconds as their kids passed so they could take picures....seemed fair and reasonable to me.) Within minutes, the Spectro parade started, and all was well in the World. It was fantastic! I really liked Charnabog, but I do have a thing for the bad boys!
We had promised Mr. Clean one more exhilarating race, so after the parade we ran over to the speedway. I wanted to stay put for the fireworks, but the spoiled me was overtaken by good momminess. We barely got out of the cars when the fireworks began. We were trying to get back to front and center of the castle, but suddenly a crowd of people formed right in our path. We worked our way through the hoards, and tried to watch at the same time. We found an empty spot in the middle of the road and just plopped down. Apparently, we are very trendy, because others started plopping around us. You are thinking that this day of magic is at its end, but there was one last surprise
Wonderful! No way I'd write a trippie this awesome!! 
Masterpiece in th making!!! What????
