Day 4 Oct 12th, 2010
Our alarm came way to quickly
This was already scheduled as a HS day but for the entire day with dinner late night at Ohana (9:55PM ADR) But because of the low attendance on Sunday we managed to get most of everything done at HS that day. Today was now just a lunch and then some tying up loose ends. Can you guess when we arrived for our 11:30am ADRs at 50s Prime time?? You guessed it about 11:42AM darn personal transportation options aka feet and walking!
Nothing can really do this place justice as the Pot Roast and Fried Chicken are just to die for. YO! Didnt want to go here because when she was 8 she was mocked because, Cousin Adrianne ate all of her green beans what a good girl, everyone clap Luckily this time it was nothing like that at all. Good service and excellent food. We split onion rings and my apologies but we didnt get a before picture of the food as we were so hungry we just dug in so you get an after the fact picture, ew gross I know, right? We split the Dads Sundae, love the cracker jacks on top of it. We both ordered beverages to get the glow cubes, all I can say is we are like kids and addicted to weird things. Anywho YO!s wouldnt stay lit and when it did it appeared really dim. She asked if she could get a new one and the waiter was more than happy to do so. Super bright when not being immersed in liquid lol
Indiana Jones show was starting just about as we were getting out lunch so we booked it over to the venue only we had to stop to take pictures of some lizards, which in turn made it too late and show was sold out Not really the case, there was still about 30people being turned away before us, but I like to blame her anyways. Saw that Sounds Dangerous was actually running so I convinced her to give it a shot I really wish she would have put up a fight, or at least blinded and deafened me this show has lost all of its appeal from 6 years ago. It can go poof anytime now!
I gave a moment of silence for my most favorite ride Star Tours and then we were off to see the muppets, the wonderful muppets of Disneyworld. A true classic show, patriotic and all not liking it would be very unpatriotic!
Backlot tour was the next on my radar and I had YO! Pay extra special attention to the guy in the beginning in the control room the one that gets the 30,000 gallons of water dumped on him. Why? Because 4 years ago, I was that guy!
By this time I wrote off seeing Indiana jones as we had another date with ghosts and such I didnt want to be late so we headed back to the hotel (20min drive ) and relaxed a bit.
Now comes the problem facing so many Americans and others alike but what to wear?!?! We didnt want to wear our wedding costumes again, that was supposed to be on Thursday, a whole three day between outfits. So I decided you know what, I am going to wear my Red Wings jersey . Then it began to get serious. YO! Put on this black with white polka dotted dress with a giant red belt and we decided she should get some Minnie ears and go as Minnie. Perfect, but that still leaves me with nothing. Turns out all I had to do was buy some Goofy pirate ears and I am was instantly transformed into my blood heritage Pirate! See the name on my jersey is Drake My blood line places me in direct relations with Sir Francis Drakes brother! So it was fitting. We caught pooh and the gang under the flag pool taking pics then headed back down mainstreet towards the tiki room. Didnt pay attention that it was closed anyways lol
We ended up meeting Timon and Rafiki before making our way to Pirates of the Caribbean. Funny enough Mr. Smee was walking right towards us and got him to stop for a photo with me I am positive it was the real one! Then we had a photopass in front of the eerie foggy pirates sign. The CM taking the picture was asking why I am wearing a wings jersey (he was from Michigan so he knew to say GO WINGS lol but was curious why then at a Halloween party?!) So I explained its in honor of Sir Francis Drake, and he said, OHHHH! You need to tell captain hook that asap! He will love that So great yeah, as soon as I see him I will be sure to let him know lol Funny enough as we were walking up to the main entrance of the ride a large man bounds of the barriers and holds up the candy givers its none other than the captain James Hook himself!! He looted the tubs of candy and then proceeded to dump all of his newly acquired booty into YO!s bag lmao, she has stolen candy!!! Went on the ride with Jack Sparrow behind us, kinda a nice treat, how often can you do that?
Next up we needed food, and Ghosty was getting cranky so we stopped at a QS near splash mountain After dinner this was the chance to take YO! Up on her offer to ride BTMR again! She is a trooper. After she sat out and let me and Ghosty ride on Splash mountain together. We ended up being the only ones in our raft, did I mention EMPTY PARK?!
We stopped in a shop to look around a bit (loved that nobody was in the parks this night again) The CMs are sooooo friendly we got congratulated once again and she struck up a good 20min conversation with us. The ending was the most important as she asked if we had a chance to meet the princesses and their princes yet in toon town. Well no, we only met Cindy and Prince Char at 1900 PF the first night. Didnt know that if you go into the shop between mickey and minnies house you can meet them?!?! We were right there the day before and didnt even notice!
This time we made a point to do it waved HI to the drwarfs as we walked on by Trick r Treated at Minnies and then went into the shop. Something seemed wrong, there was no line at all and we werent sure what was happening. No wait time listed, just waiting behind a rope barrier. About 9mins later a CM came out and ushered us into the room of wonderment!!! Most of you dont know but I have this super huge crush on SnowWhite, she is my all time favorite princess . I cant imagine the smile on my face as we turned the corner and saw SnowWhite with her prince right there upon entering more we say Cinderella and Prince Char and then Sleeping Beauty and her Prince! Oh man, oh what a night! It was a dream come true. Every single one of them asked to see her ring, gave me high fives on the ring and I even got a hug from SnowWhite (captured for eternity in my heart and on our photopass cd lol). Sleeping Beauty was in awe of our Pink bathroom and Cinderella was liking that I named my fat cat GusGus after her mouse!
Walking out of there we were like kids, both giggleing and laughing and in disbelief, did that just happen?! I imagine this is the thrill some get when meeting celebrities.
We headed to Mickeys house and met him with Minnie He loved the ring, Minnie was not so happy that she didnt have one! In fact she grabbed me and hugged me close to show mickey she was not happy haha. After a good 2 mins mickey finally got her to agree to a photo with the 4 of us. I was down on one knee holding YO!s hand and he was down on one knee (opposite side) holding Minnies hand A true photo opp! I will post a picture of this in another (summary) trip report as I am still uploading haha
We left MNSSHP knowing that we just had a once in a lifetime character meeting experience and that we were so happy we chose the party over dinner!!!
Ghosty was pretty much bursting at the seams with so much candy inside of him poor fellow!
