Okay, just another brief summary in case anyone's still reading! Yesterday the internet wasn't being cooperative, so I couldn't post. We got to the MK early and checked in at CP by about 7:50 for our 8:05 reservation. Since we got caught in the line of folks waiting to be let in at 7:45 for their reservations, we certainly couldn't take pics of an empty Main Street like people talk about. But we ate quickly, saw Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore (Tigger was still on the other side of the room), and got out by about 8:45. That was nice because the park was still fairly empty and all the photopass folks were out there so we wandered around and got a bunch of pics from them and with our camera.
Then we did a "best of the best" day. Space first, then Pooh and Peter Pan, FP'd Splash, did Jungle Cruise and Pirates, rode Splash, train back to Toontown and Tomorrowland to do Space again and Buzz (with some shopping, TTA, etc. between them while we waited for FP's). Shopped down Main Street on our way out (and visited Guest Relations to get our tickets replaced AGAIN since they weren't working) and left the park by around 12:30. Back to the house for lunch, sleep, and pool time.
Back into the MK at around 6:30. We rode Space one last time (got Buzz FP's first), again did a bit of just shopping and people watching and rode Buzz. We went over to Main Street and got a spot near the entrance for the parade around 8pm. We just stayed there, although I went and got fries and soda for the group at one point. Useful tip - position yourself in front of an airconditioned store doorway while you wait. We were on the curb, but the blasts of cool air coming out kept us cool as well. Really didn't have any of the trouble I always read about - people being rude or crowding. As the parade started, we definitely got more crunched in, but no one tried to move in front of us or anything. Had fun socializing with all the folks near us, and we'd brought a bunch of light up character pens (that we'd gotten closeout cheap) that DS14 had fun passing out to all the little kids near us.
We left before Wishes and felt like salmon swimming upstream trying to leave the park! Evidently everyone moves more towards the castle for Wishes after the parade? It was still a bit crowded getting on the monorail/tram, but we were home by about 10. Decided to take it a bit easy today - DH & I may head to DD for some shopping later this morning, then we'll head to AK later in the day (to ride Everest one last time) and then to BB for one last evening. Tomorrow's Epcot, followed by a whole bunch of packing!
guess we're the ones your mother warned you about.
) or something on it? 
don't worry about the trippie, I know how "stuff" gets in the way......and I think I saw that Murphy dude moving on out of PA
They are in full pads with full contact (well, as much contact as 5/6 year olds can give) and he was sweating his butt of Monday and Tuesday. Today is going to be a busy clean up day
