Okay, when we last left off we were visiting the Character Spot (i'll post the photopass pics sometime today from that.)
By this time dh was itching to do some pin trading so we headed across the way and what do ya know? There were some people out front with their collections waiting to wheel and deal some trades. The one guy was the same guy from the night before. I dont think we ended up trading with him
he was being kind of difficult. And they wanted to trade non limited edition pins for our limited edition pins
thanks, but no thanks. Not a good deal and you arent going to screw us over. We know quite a bit about pin trading and Im glad when it comes to trading with these people.
The other lady, I didnt really care for trading with her because she was to uptight about it
she wasnt willing to let hardly anything go when we knew she had plenty of duplicates. We managed to get a fairy godmother and boo (from monsters inc.) and also a Tokyo Christmas pooh pin from her. She got the better end of the deal, but dh said he didnt mind because they were pins I wanted and thats all that mattered to him.
She said boo was hard to find so she wanted something good for it, but the funny thing is I found the same boo pin about five other times in the parks through out the week so it was a bit of a lie on her end. Also the pins that dh got from her (the five legged goat and I forget what else), but later when we came back there those pins were. She had acted like she didnt have duplicates, but really she did. If you have duplicates why be so hard to trade with
if you only have one or two then I understand, but she had those in her own collection at home plus all the duplicates with her. They had a few suitcases full and the husband said they have seven thousand that is their own personal collection at home.
If we ever get that high
God help us! Lol. I know it could happen, but I think we are a long ways off. The whole pin trading with this lady kind of aggravated me and I was already sad about my great grandpa so we went to sit down and look at the pins we had got and have a nice cool drink in the shade as the sun was super warm on this day. After checking out our goodies and people watching it was time to head over to use our fast passes for Soarin. We had to sit in the second row, which weve never had to do before.
It wasnt horrible, but I would much rather sit in the front row. Im not a huge fan of flying and I know that this ride isnt exactly like flying, but I always freak out before we get on and I always love it. Someday I hope to get over this. Its so silly..its not like anything is going to happen, but I just cant help myself. My favorite thing about this ride is the smells! So amazing!
When we got off the ride and were walking down the hallway and out there was this little boy kind of messing around and walking along the wall. Well he tripped and almost fell and I know this is mean, but I couldnt stop laughing. I know that is super mean, but I was sad and then when he tripped it was the laugh I needed. Had he fallen I wouldnt of been laughing, but he was fine and it serves him right for screwing around.
Living with the land had a two minute wait so we decided to ride that. I love living with the land and dh took pictures this time. I dont think we have before for whatever reason.
mmm Coffee coffee coffee hehe
Afterwards we headed to Mouse Gears to look around and pin trade. I found the second cat pin I needed for the set of five. And afterwards dh decided he was going to trade with the same crazy pin lady again for the other 2 cats we needed. We had found the completer and two others. We had dinner at Garden Grill so we decided to check in early because we needed to get back to the resort because we had a delivery at 7:30 coming to our room. We checked in at 5:30 and were seated about five minutes later.
I thought this was cute!
( i'm wearing one of the shirts we made at home!)
thanks pluto!
If you havent ate at Garden Grill you should try it at least once! The restaurant rotates so you can see the different scenes of living with the land and also its a character meal. The food is delicious and its family style so theyll keep bringing you as much as you want! Save room for dessert though
delicious!!!!
Chip was so cute! He was playing with this little boy at the table behind us and he actually got down on the floor and was letting the little boy crawl all over him! It was adorable. If I could of taken pictures without looking like a weirdo I would have. Lol.
After dinner we had to high tail it back to AKL because we were having a delivery. I forget who we went through (if anyone wants to know I can ask dh.), but you tell them what you need and they go shopping for you then they arrange a time to deliver it to you. I had forgotten my deodorant and normally this wouldnt be a problem for most people because they could just buy some in the gift shop, but Im allergic to most deodorant so I use a hypoallergenic kind. So we got that, distilled water for dhs c pap machine (he has sleep apnea) and Excedrin migraine since I forgot to bring mine and didnt want to be caught without something should a migraine pop up. The lady was right on time at seven thirty and dh met her in the lobby to pay her. Once he got back to the room we headed back down to the bus stop to go back to Epcot and catch illuminations.
Up next: illuminations and some more pictures...I'd finish this day now, but I have to go babysit for our friends new baby!
