PORFQ May 17, Day 7: My new bracelet and a Celebrity Sighting!

[Tink03477]

I woke up, threw on my bathing suit and headed to the pool by 8:30am. I left DS sleeping. I laid out in the sun until about 9:45 then went to the FC for breakfast. I brought it back to the room for DS (another first). Those scrambled eggs are mm-mm-good! We took showers and headed out to the bus stop to MK by 11am. We waited a little for the bus, 15 mins or so. It just seems longer when you have to listen to families bickering around you. Sometimes parents can be so short sighted when it comes to young children and siblings are evil to each other at times! I also really dislike stopping at Riverside. Especially when going to MK. It takes way too long. Oh, and if there are wheelchairs to load, add another 15 minutes! I know, I have a car sitting out there in the parking lot. But as you can see, we jump around a lot during the day and never know where we’ll be, so having the car in a parking lot at one of the Parks may not work out so well. I’d probably forget where I left it. Lolol We could have just went to the TTC every morning and left it there I guess. Sometimes I was too tired to drive anyway. So, I guess I should just be quiet and enjoy the ride since I have a choice and my choice is to take the Disney transportation. Ok, on to MK. Just for giggles, I decided to try our DVC VIP passes and see if they worked for Splash, “Lo & Behold” they did!! Awesome! Rode that, DS got soaked, not me. =) Off to Mickey’s Philharmagic again. I love that show!!! No wait, so I didn’t try the VIP for this. I’ll try that on Peter Pan since the wait there is always 45 mins or more. Maybe we’ll get lucky again. Nope, no luck this time! The VIP’s are now expired so we got regular FP for PP. For now, we are off to Space M. waited about 30 mins for that one this time. We didn’t mind. Then we did the TTA again. DS loves that. I usually nap, it’s a relaxing ride. We grabbed lunch at the Plaza. We’ve never had to wait here. We had Philly Cheese steaks. Not as good as PORRS FC! But still ok. We wolfed these down and ran back for our PP FP. After that I had to call the FQ voice mail to see if Clyde left me a message on the Norway bracelet. I went to Guest Relations on Main Street and a nice CM helped me out to do that. Yea! Clyde left me a voice mail and said the bracelet is $130!!! It’s mine! I called Norway, with the help of the CM again; and left a voice mail for Clyde to let him know that I’d be over later to purchase the bracelet and thank you very much for letting me know. I’m so excited now and can’t wait to go get it. DS is fading fast, and this is our last full day!! I told him it was the TTA; it always puts me to sleep since it’s so relaxing. After leaving the Guest Relations and the super nice (and very handsome) CM we go out Main Street and GUESS WHO WE SAW????? Celebrity sighting coming up…………Colin Mockery from “Whose Line is it Anyway?” Drew Carey runs the show and Colin is one of the standing comedians on the show along with Wayne Brady; who has his own show now. (He wasn’t there too, just identifying who Colin is). My DS and I are standing 3 feet from Colin who is talking to some “suits”, cameras are set up and I’m standing next to this other suit. As I am talking to DS, “I know his first name is Colin, but I can’t remember his last name, it’s……” the man next to me says “Mockery” at the same time as DS. DS loves this show and knows who all the comedians are on it and has watched it since it’s begin. He’s standing there next to me with his mouth wide open staring at Colin. So, since the man next to me answered me I asked him if he knew what was going on and he said that Colin was promoting a show in the fall called “Magical Gatherings” but he wasn’t sure which network was going to pick it up. He asked if I knew what Magical Gatherings were and of course I do and told him what it was, but also that it is already in place so why is Colin “introducing” it? I think, from what he told me; that it is going to be specials of families who have had “magical gatherings” at Disney and Colin is introducing the first show in the fall. It turns out that the man I was speaking with is Colin’s agent!! As they were all walking away, I turn to DS and say “how many pictures did you get of your favorite comedian”? He’s stops staring, starts blinking at me and says “what???? Pictures, OMG, I didn’t get any pictures”. Poor kid, he was so star struck he forgot to take pictures!! He was slapping his hand upside his forehead for a few mins after that one. Lolol As we were exiting the park I said to the CM at the turnstiles, “we just saw Colin Mockery”. She says “who”? So I explain, and now she’s yelling to all the people within earshot, “I just talked to people who just saw Colin Mockery”! It was funny and made us feel much better since we forgot to get pictures. Now we are on the monorail to Epcot. When we get off at the TC some CM’s had opened up the gates directly to the Epcot monorail so we didn’t have to go down the ramp, over to the Epcot entrance, up the ramp and onto the monorail. Great Idea – straight across to the waiting monorail to Epcot!! First stop Norway, pick up bracelet, and talk to Clyde, many thanks are exchanged between us. I’m so happy!! While waiting, I picked out a matching necklace for my little sister who had a birthday while I have been here (May 15). She loved it when I gave it to her when I got back home. I wanted one too, but DS said, “The bracelet’s enough for you mom”. Smart child of mine. =) Ok, off to Test Track. DS went on the Single Rider side. I didn’t feel like going on it so I sat in the sun waiting and chatting to a family I met from Pittsburgh, Jack the 4yr was most chatty and pretty funny too. His mom and sister were on TT and the other 3 kids and Dad were waiting here. The 3 waiting didn’t want to go, scared they said. Jack was too short though I think. They were fun to talk to until Mom & sis came back out and big sis told her sibling little sis “it’s not scary at all”. Which it’s not. It’s just fun and fast. We then went off to Mousegear in search of Italian Antennae for my BIL (sister’s husband) & SIL (brother’s wife). I had purchased Norway Antennae toppers for all the Norwegians in my family and didn’t want to leave out the spouse’s since they had their own cars anyway. I did get my mother a Canadian one since her family is from Canada. DS found a pair of silk boxers he liked, so we got those too. Then we jumped on the bus for FQ and went to the FC for dinner. I decided to try the Pot Roast dinner, very good too. DS got his usual, DCB. After dinner, I did a little laundry again, went swimming and then started to prelim packing for tomorrow. So sad now =( I checked with the front desk earlier for a 1pm late checkout and they said “no problem”. So that’s all set too. Off to bed by 11pm or so.
