Afterwards we did a photo pass picture in front of TOT. The guy told us to kiss and kept saying to hold it. He went on telling us to hold it for a good couple of minutes. I started to laugh so hard I couldnt kiss dh anymore or even pretend to kiss him. The photo pass guy thanked us for playing along.
After our mini photo shoot we headed over to a cart to pin trade with the cm there and we bought our first mystery set of the trip. The two pins in the mystery pack were fastpasses for jungle cruise and soarin. They are cute! I believe there are four in the set and we have the whole set now too! (we ended up finding the others that we needed on cms lanyards throughout the trip.)
We got a drink and were heading up the street when we ran into some street performers so we stopped to watch. They were so funny! The one guy kept spraying the audience with the acid and making the boss upset. Then he ran around the whole audience spraying them with the neutral solution so everyone would be okay. Then he was yelling
I saved the people
yay! It was very entertaining! When they were running around spraying with the water we got a little wet and I wiped my wet arm on dhs shirt to dry it off.
I was glad we actually got to see a whole skit for once. Usually we just happen upon them and they are almost done. We came right when they started though this time. After some street skit fun we decided to head over to the animation studio to meet sorcerer mickey. We didnt see him last year since they were redoing his former home and he is my favorite so I was super excited to see him again! Donald was in the little area next to mickey
if your looking at mickey it was to the left. Donald was upset because Mickey had a long line and Donald had nobody at all. He kept doing what he could to tease Mickey and they were joking back and fourth. It was pretty funny. One of those you had to be there to see it kind of things. We met donald after Mickey so he wouldnt feel so lonely. He did end up getting a little line after a bit so I think he was much happier! After our visitation we headed for Brown Derby four our dinner adr.
I really need to stand up straight! I wish my mother had gotten on me about that from a early age!
I had salmon and for dessert I had strawberry cheesecake. Disneymom1980 and her dh sat diagonally across from us so when we spotted them I text her and when she looked up we waved to them.
It would have been nice to sit by them, but it wasnt the end of the world and we were texting a bit back and forth during dinner.
This is dh's dinner:
and this was mine:
Mosses offered to take our picture for us. He said he was such a good picture taker it made him want to cry. Lol.
When they were done she came to see us and tell us they had issues with the people who sat by them, but Ill let her talk about that in her trippie if she chooses to. Dont want to steel her thunder.
I have to say this dinner at Brown Derby redeemed Brown Derby in my eyes.
The past two trips we ate here the service was just okay. Nothing spectacular and the food was just okay. This time the food was really good (at least I thought so) and our server was awesome! He kept our drinks filled (the past two times weve come here theyd fill it once then disappear and never fill them again.) Our server was Mosses and he was awesome!
After dinner on the way to change my clothes (I had on shorts and wanted to change into jeans since we were going to fantasmic. I didnt want to be cold.) we stopped to trade pins with a manager. He had the pin I needed to complete my blue set of pins. Our hostess, Ethel at Brown Derby had the 4th on her lanyard that I traded her for. So I was pretty stoked to have completed a whole set on only the third day of our trip! I told the manager that my set was complete now and he looked at my lanyard and was like oh yea, you got the whole set, good for you! Then asked us where we were headed now and we told him to Fantasmic.
He told us there was a second showing tonight, but we told him that we had to go to the first because that was the one we were assigned with our dinner package. Thats what I love about the fantasmic package
you get priority seating at Fantasmic instead of having to stand in a huge long line forever! Disneymom1980 text me and asked if we wanted them to save us seats and we said yes since I had to go change first. It was nice of them to ask! So we got there and were chatting it up for a while until the show started. We were all having a good time!
After Fantasmic we tried to find a photopass person to take a group picture, but we couldnt so we asked a cm. He blocked the flash on both our cameras the first time so we had to ask him to retake them. Usually cms are really good with cameras as Im sure they get asked to take a lot of photos, but this guy must have been new or had very little experience with cameras.
After we had our picture taken we decided to head over to MK for emh! We took a bus to the contemporary. Since this is where they were staying we got to take a peak at their room. It was awesome! I so want to stay there! Especially being right there next to MK and having the monorail so easily accessible. We took the monorail to MK and once we got there we got a photopass picture taken on mainstreet u.s.a. Then we rode buzz together and decided to part ways because there was something they wanted to ride and we were going to ride tta.
Dh and I took a rest room break, got a water and got on tta.
a blurry tta pic kinda cool lookin though
Afterwards we did peter pan, which was about 15-20 minutes. We didnt think it was going to be that long, but a lot of people were coming back to use their fast passes so all those people were getting on instead of the stand by line moving like it would have been had there not been all the fast pass riders.
After visiting never land we decided to do HM to see if we could redeem our experience since the odds of the cackling lady being there again were non existent. Im happy to say that our HM experience was awesome! I liked going at night. It made it seem a little more creepy and also there was no annoying lady cackling.
It was a little after 11 by the time we got off HM and emh was only till 11 so we headed out of the park and made our way to the bus stop. I forgot to mention this, but there was a lady at the dvc booth during emh that we wanted to trade with. She had a board too that had some really good pins on it and one that we actually needed. She told us it was the leave a good pin board. So we gave her two of our limited edition pins. They were characters that we didnt like so we didnt mind giving up the limited edition pins and the cm was excited to have them because they were Jessica from roger rabbit. When we got back to the room turn down service had taken my blanket and wrapped up my bear. ( I always have to have a extra blanket and my bear to hug...dh made him for me at build a bear when my dad was diagnosed with cancer to cheer me up so hes a special bear.
So I bring both from home. ) I thought it was really cute that they wrapped him up in my blanket.
Up next: (our first drawing lesson (thought this was on our dhs day, but I was wrong) and dinner at crt!!)
you had your first meet.
Might not be till later in the day, but be on the look out! 
Can't wait to hear more!!
