you might be wondering about that title...i due time, in due time.
Last time we were leaving off with the Beauty and the Beast show...the show was over and we had about 20 some minutes before the parade was to start...so we set off looking for some shade.
Parker found a game along the parade route but that area was a no go as it was soon to be full sun.
Then we looked across the street, the stairs for the entrance (might be the old entrance for American Idol or old entrance for the show before) was pretty much wide open.
In the past that area was handicap of some sort of reserved seating when we would go.
Well we asked a CM standing there and she said it was wide open just stay off the bottom row.
Okay done and done.
Parker found another play area right next to the stairs and had blast with these kids bowling...that ball went everywhere after it the wall but the kids really enjoyed chasing it and setting them again...
nice comfy concrete stairs to park our selfs and enjoy a parade.
We parked the stroller around the corner of american idol, and plopped down.
We were thirsty time for super man dad cape find something cold to drink that the kids can have too, so a beer from the stand was out.
Moving along.
I came to a stand that looked promising...I spotted frozen cokes...
the family loves those so thats where i went.
Problem was it was 10 minutes to parade time now and the person making them was SLOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW.
with 5 minutes left i am ready to order. opted for the cherry and coke mixture.
while in line i had plenty of time to take a picture of this nifty little street sign, that i have never noticed before.
On my way back the CM on this side of the street stopped me and said roads closed...i said see that cute family on the stairs they belong to me i can make it... she smiled at me and let me through not sure if thought i was calling her cute or what but it worked.
the rest of the family was thrilled to see the frozen beverage and we downed that puppy pretty fast despite the threat of brain freeze that was awaiting us.
it was time for a parade to start.
parker wanted nothing to do with sitting down so he stood next to me and up a step to see over everyone better.
i see we still have to work on the middle finger pointing.
ahh his good buddy sully he was pointing at.
how can you not like the UP characters.
looks like he spots something else in the distance.
none other than jessie and bulls eye.
right after this picture bullseye goes over to the wall by the drinking fountain and starts moving his head...i tell candi it looks like he is banging his head on the wall, nope...she says he is taking a drink from the fountain he was thirsty.
everyone cracked up over it, and in my confusion i get a late picture...but i have it on video.
the rest of the toy story crew.
there were more of the parade but i wont bore you with those.
after that was over it was time to squeeze in the backlot tour before we go to the lights motor action show before we hit dinner, it was a time crunch but i think we can do it.
as we are walking up we see they are just stopping the line for the group in front of us...we are still about 3/4 of the way back in the building when we stop walking up....right about here, by this nifty little prop in the line.
if you guessed the shrinking gun from honey i shrunk the kids i believe you would be correct but dont hold me to it.....
now its time for the story of the chapter heading...
so we wait till the next group is going to be lead in, they start letting people in we are moving up and you start to wonder will it be our lucky day will we be let in or wont we.
your mind quickly thinks if i dont make this show i have to wait at least 10-15 minutes for the next show to be let in, then that will put me a little farther back on time and i might miss the last lights motor action show.
ohh great, you are now at the top of the ramp, you notice the guy who holds the magic power of telling the line to stop looking down at his counter saying how many lucky people in front of you have already filled into the pearl harbor water battle scene.
i see him part his lips to start speaking, i take a big step to try and get through before he says something knowing i can then say ohh they are with me.
but drat he says please stop before i finish my big step to get through but does that slow me down.
NOPE.
i keep taking my step and say to him, ohh we are with them.
I now actually look in front of me, and it is a 60+ year old man and wife who are of chinese origin, and the man looks at me like i have 3 heads...the chinese man not the CM...i keep moving, then look back at candi, noelle and parker, and say to the CM, and they are with me...candi says to me under her breath, get back here....
i say come on hun, our party is leaving without us.
i get the glare, from the wife who hates when i "break" the rules like that, i smile and the CM tells them to continue on.
When we stop for the pre show, candi looks at me, while i am standing with the rest of my adopted group and i give her my reason that if we missed this show then we would miss the lights motor action show, she realizes my ways were correct and forgives me.
Its show time.
time for someone to get drenched.
we move along to the prop shop before loading our next awaiting trolly.
i have long given up trying to find something in here new that i know where it was from and get back the things i know for sure there, like the tool time binford mower.
the big bunny from honey i blew up the baby.
the back pack from the rocketeer.
in case you were wondering the extra group of us that came in was not even enough to fill the last car of the tram we had over one empty one left they could have filled up.
parker wanted me to enter first so i did.
the earfull tower.
anyone remember when it had the black goggles from horace grant on the tower when he played for the magic?
after we enter the canyon and the water scene is done.
parker then tells me hey dad ill take the outside seatnow.
that little stinker remembered...that you "may" get wet on that side of the car but will get "soaked" on the other side.
i let him have the outside.
after we are done with the trip we grab the stroller for our next destination.
hope everyone has a great weekend.
I'll just imagine what they look like in my head.
to deal with at DisneyWorld. You're doing a great job handling it though! 
Especially since Parker is really good at hiding his excitement during everything.......... 
you are correct.
glad to have you reading along and give you something to keep you busy at work.
I'll let you know when it gets here. I'm waiting on about 4 or 5 packages right now. Everything is so backed up cause of the hurricane.
