We had the bus pixies helping us out... because even though it was 6 by the time we got there (much later than my OCD self had planned) there was a bus for the Contemporary sitting there just waiting for us!! Really! we were the ONLY ones on the bus when it pulled away!!
We got to CR in plenty of time for our 6:35 ADR. We even had time to use the restroom and freshen up! We waited about 10 minutes to be seated. I did buy the picture... but I don't have a scanner, so I can't really show you
The food was really good. I think the kids may have wiped out Mickey's chicken nugget supply..... I couldn't even guess at how many they all ate!
Soon Mickey and the gang came by for pics and autographs!
Wyatt wasn't too interested in Mickey, and didn't want a picture
Goofy... well that was another story!! Wyatt almost knocked him down he was so excited and was hugging him!!
Pluto is always fun! He even made Jen laugh!
Time to CELEBRATE!!!! WooHoo!!!
Minnie came by to flirt with the teenager
And DONALD too!!
You know that invisible wall that at some point you always hit at WDW??? The one that really does a number on 1st timers, who don't expect it??
Ya think Jen found it tonite???
Its a good thing she isn't reading this....I don't think she'd be too happy that I posted that
A good time was had by all at CM. We took the monorail around to MK. Wishes was lighting up the sky and it was quite magical watching as we rode.
Once we got to MK, the girls and Warren had gotten their 2nd wind and wanted to ride a few rides since it was Extra Magic Hours night. Jen did too...which suprised me, since she really seemed tired! Everyone, but me, needed to use the restroom. So I told them I'd meet them back there, but was going to run into City Hall to upgrade Allison's tix to an AP!
I got a nice suprise when I did too!....
FLASHBACK to September. I had bought tixs thru undercover tourist before the price increase in August. When I went to upgrade my tix at DTD (yes I had used it) they showed me exactly what I had paid for it and who I had bought it thru and only gave me credit for the purchase amount.... not the current price. I was pretty bummed, cause it made my upgrade more expensive than I had expected. I didn't know that they were doing that. My expiration on the card was the date I had bought the tix (August) not the day before (Sept 28) when I had 1st used it. Another shock. The lady said that was how they were doing it now.
I even double checked the next day at MK.... and was told the same thing...EXCEPT that the expiration date WAS to be a year from 1st use...so I got that fixed.
Back to the present.... I planned to just upgrade Allison's ticket since she will definately be down again in February. We want to take a fall trip for MNSSHP next year, but that's up in the air. It cost me $150 to upgrade my AP...so I figured the same for Allison. The CM I got at City hall was soo sweet! She did the upgrade and it came to $200!! For JUST Allison!! I must have looked really shocked (because I was). Then it dawned on me....I forgot to give her my DVC card.... DOH! It was only $100 to upgrade her. She told me that the DTD CM was wrong and that's not how they do upgrades.... so for $100 I upgraded Ellie's too!!! yay!!! Now we HAVE to go in the fall! (insert sinister laugh here!!) PLUS...the girls got the FULL 15 MONTH expiration date!!!
I took my lovely new APs out to meet up with everyone else. Wyatt was beat, as was Jen. So the 2 of them decided to head back to Kidani. The rest of us stayed at MK.
We hit up several rides.

I am with you -- since I have had my two, I would take voodoo over fertility. 
at the Fertility statues. And your Lion King pictures look nice. I like them. 
Its not mine
I didn't take any of it, and felt silly posting pics with all the other rides and not that one. Sorry!! Its actually off the photopass 'stock photo' CD. Which I had purchased to add a little oomph to my digital scrapbook. I went back and added the disclaimer...so no one else thinks its mine 9i'm so ashamed that I forgot!!)
I have to post so I don't lose your thread. I'll have to catch up later though. I'm SO excited to read about your trip!!!
