So our great plan to make rope drop was flawed by the fact that there was emh on this morning and we failed to realize that so by the time we got to the park at fifteen till nine we were way late because the park opened a hour early for emh and thats when they did the show and all. We tried really hard though and I give us a A for effort because had it not been emh we would have been able to see it since we got there fifteen minutes before hand! I was rather annoyed though because we got up early for nothing, but since we were there we decided to make the best of it and it ended up being a rather good time!
We got to meet Mary Poppins, whom I love! She said chin up and something about reading about Ohio in her books and it was very cold there and her umbrella would freeze. Yea, well Mary we dont have that problem since we are traveling for work and living in Va. Lol. I left that part out though. Its so much easier so say were from ohio and leave it at that.
We tried to look around for somebody to take our pic together, but no one was really around for some odd reason so we had to do it separately. Maybe next time! This was another first for us though. We had never taken our pic with goofy on main street.
We did photo pass pics on main street and pin traded up main street. Although there were emh hours the park was still opening at 9 for the rest of the masses so all the cms were standing on main street waving and thats how we got a bunch of good pins. Dh and I went in a few stores too since he was trying to cheer me up.
I know it might seem silly, but this is one of my fave things about MK...when you go in the gift shops in the morning right when the park opens and all these guys are perfectly stacked up. They are so stinkin' adorable! Dh caught minnie and I having a tender moment...I was holding her hand hehe
I loved how they made minnies and mickeys hang...so cute!
I ended up finding this really soft plush mickey and a steam boat willie. I was in heaven because I had been looking for a plush I wanted since I collect them and as soon as I found them I told dh these were the two I wanted on this trip and I wasnt going to change my mind! He was like well can we get them on the way out? I said yea, thats fine, but we are getting them today because they are so stinkin cute! Come to find out Im glad I got them this day on the way out because I looked a few days later and they were no where to be seen so I was glad I snagged up my new furry friends when I had the chance! Steam boat was a limited edition
I have number five hundred and something out of 2400 and he was made for the 80th anniversary I guess. He is just so stinkin cute! I freakin love me some steamboat willie! Hell make a appearance in pictures later on in the report!
As we were walking toward the castle I remembered that I still wanted to try to see the step sisters and step mother from Cinderella so we made our way back there to see if they were out! There was a handler and she confirmed that yes indeed they should be out anytime now. So we just stood there and waited. I was so freakin excited that I was beginning to forget that I was upset about missing rope drop!
After what seemed like forever the step sisters and step mother came walking toward the meeting area and they were carrying on. It was rather funny. When they got to their spot they were going on about the weeds and how mother nature had it in for them because the wind was blowing and the leaves were falling on them. I dont remember all what they said, but if anyone has met them then you know what Im talking about. They are a riot!
On this day I was wearing the mr. and mrs shirt so they asked me what my last name was and I told them. They told me how a man named Charlie Butts on main street wanted to marry Drezilla, but she didnt like his name because it was dreadful and that he would probably have to change his last name since she wouldnt take his. They told me I was lucky to have a good last name.
They asked if Matt was my prince and I told them yes and they asked if he had rich brothers, but he told them he was the rich brother so they told me if I didnt think he was handsome I should still hang on to him. Lol. After our fun shaniganians with the step sisters and step mother we decided to see if we could find the fairy God mother since I REALLY wanted to meet her!
Here they come!!
going on about the weeds and such

they were all into it
its to bad all those trees were around casting shadows on it, but its not to bad of a picture despite that. They yelled at their handler (i forget his name) to stop putting on his lip gloss (it was chapstick)

and come take our picture so that dh could be in it too. How thoughtful of you ladies!
So we basically sat and stalked her spot for about ten minutes before she appeared. Matt saw her come out the door right next to where we were sitting and he gave me a look and I was like what are you looking at me like that for? He gestured over to where she was and I jumped up out of my seat! I hadnt even seen her walk out of the door because I was to busy people watching in the other direction. So I told her that I had been waiting for her and she apologized. There was no need and I made sure she knew that. I just wanted her to know how excited I was to finally meet her!
We were being blown away at this point and my lazy eye made a return b/c I was so stinkin' tired.
Up next the rest of our morning at MK and then our semi miserable afternoon at epcot.
