Day 2:
We had 7 a.m. reservations at Chef Mickeys, which meant we had to be up at 5:30 to get washed up, rub the cobwebs out of our eyes, and take the drive from POP over to the Contemporary. To get in the Disney mood, we cranked up our Playhouse Disney c.d. for our little one on the boom box we brought down. Our neighbors were banging on our walls to turn it down, which I thought was extremely rude after all we are at Disney. I made sure to slam our door as loud as possible on the way out twice.
We arrived at Chef Mickeys at 6:55. By 7:05 we were still not seated. I went to the podium and told them that we are already 5 minutes past our reservation, and if they dont seat us right away then they could give us the meal for free. Once seated, we went to the buffet to get our food. Mickey and Minnie came out soon after and the place went crazy, waving napkins and screaming. Mickey started going from table to table, but it seemed like he would take forever to get to ours. I went up to him about 10 tables away and told him to come over to our table next. He just stared at me and didnt say a word. Time to go talk to the manager!
Eventually he made the trip to our table. After we took roughly 40 pictures with him, we finished our breakfast and left. Time for Magic Kingdom!!!!!
We arrived at MK at roughly 8:15. There were lines of people to get in, but eventually we forced our way through towards the front .this is our vacation and we were going to be in there 1st! We decided to go rent the ECVs for the day. We are not handicapped, but it was going to be awfully hot that day who can walk around in that? We went to get the ECVs and found out it was a $45 charge per ECV, PLUS a $20 refundable deposit. UNREAL!!! How can you charge people who need these vehicles to get around the park we already paid admission for? In the long run we decided it was worth it. It saved us from walking and pretty much gave us the right to tell everyone to get out of our way definitely worth the cost and I highly recommend it.
We arrived at Fantasyland and headed straight to Dumbo. The line was already 30 minutes long. Time for a cigarette. I took one out and lighted up. People were going crazy and I couldnt believe it. We were outdoors! No one is going to get cancer from the second hand smoke of my quick cigarette. After a lengthy discussion with a CM, I agreed to put it out, but had already smoked most of it by that time anyway. The CM mentioned something about kicking us out of the park, but I wasnt really listening.
We rode Dumbo, and then used our strategy of telling other people we were meeting family who were towards the front of the line to skip ahead on Peter Pan, Pooh and the Carousel. We ended up at Philharmagic wonderful show. Again we were asked to move to the end of the row, which I refused. Like I said in my last post, I prefer to sit dead center. My little one was screaming a lot during the show, I think the 3D effects we scaring him. I just screamed back for him to enjoy it, this is Disney!!! After 10 or so minutes of screaming back and forth he calmed down and we got to enjoy the remaining few minutes of the show in relative peace.
Next Toontown!!! We were all ready to go on the Barnstormer, when I realized my little one had pooped in his diaper. We found a bench to change him, but we had forgotten wipes! I noticed a boat where there was water coming out of some lili pads. I think someone said it was Donalds boat. I took my little one over there and let the water shoot into his tushy to clean it out. I put a new diaper on him, put his shorts on, and continued our day. We walked through Mickey and Minnies house. There were a lot of people looking at all the different things there. We pushed our way through the crowds to see what we wanted to see.
We headed over to the Tommorowland Speedway after that. The line was long, so I figured it was a good time to pull out my cell phone to see what was happening at my office. The reception wasnt very good, but if I yelled loud enough my secretary was able to hear me. After 15 minutes of screaming I realized we still had another 10 minutes before it was our turn. I started screaming Bob, Bob! and made my way through to the front of the line. Of course there was no Bob, but it got us on the ride faster.
We ate at Cosmic Rays. The prices were outrageous. We had to change our little ones diaper again, and did so at the table and used ice water and napkins for wipes. We felt that with the prices they charge, someone else could clean up after us, so we left everything, including the diaper, at the table.
We went on Buzz and CoP after that, and then it was time for the parade!!!! There were LOTS of people who had already gathered spots to see the parade on Main Street. My little one couldnt see anything. We somehow pushed our way to the front without knocking too many people over, using our ECVs. It was a great parade. My little one was so cute running out into the middle of it!!!
After that we headed over to the Polynesian for a dip in the pool. Someone asked us if we were staying at the hotel. I just said yes, whats a little white lie? We refilled our mugs there too!!!
After that it was back to POP to relax in our room and head over to mini golf.
Thats all for now!
