Ahoy there mateys.
It be some time but I finally fixed that darn antiquated machine on me desk and now it be back to telling tales.
If I recall, we be up to Day Three of our quest to pillage and plunder the Mouse.
We rose before dawn to catch the Mouse unaware and boarded the iron horses to the Kingdom of Magic.
Our mission this morning was simple scout out the Kingdom for weaknesses.
We needed to be ready for the attack was scheduled for tonite at dusk.
Out front, they were advertising the evening festivities festivities which would make it easy for us to sneak in undetected.
Then we arrived at the gates themselves.
Rays of sun began to shine but there were still not many souls stirring this morn.
We had arrived over an hour earlier than park opening for we had a date with the galley beyond.
In an attempt to explore the park without patrons, we scheduled our grub at 8:05 while the park would not open until nine.
The Pirate Princess was raring to go dressed to fit in with our breakfast breathren.
We approached Town Square and began to explore.
However, The Mouse is always watching.
He appears in various shapes and sizes throughout the park including some pumpkins themed for All Hallows Eve (which, as a reminder, was the night before).
It was November 1st and we had the park to ourselves.
So we slowed down to check out the inhabitants.
Pumpkin-headed creatures stood watch throughout the Town Square.
These two were the leaders of a Pumpkinhead Band of sorts:
Trying to blend in, of course, our Pirate Princess began to hob nob with the royalty.
Here she is after discussing the state of affairs with the Mayor and the First Lady.
Off to one side were two more of the Pumpkinhead creatures.
Here is the Captain of the Baseball Team (who needs a lesson on what body part ye is supposed to catch the ball with).
Alongside the poor sport is a maiden of sorts.
Next our Princess took her place alongside the other halves of the founders of this land.
The Mouses maiden is immortalized here with the founders brother.
Then it was on to the shops.
Resisting the urge to plunder (this was a scouting mission after all), the Princess cozied up to the establishment for some recon.
And then we discovered the marks.
The Mouse was placing clues inside these pumpkins it seems and then hiding them high above the storefronts.
Aye, but me hearties had kept their eyes out and we found em all.
First, a strip of film above the Main Street Cinema.
Next was a clown snowman of sorts.
And the creepy bloke was surrounded by screams of terror.
Then the American pastime of baseball was encoded in pumpkins above Caseys Corner galley.
And of course where there be baseball, there be hot dogs.
and French fries
Across the way was the dessert parlor.
Finally there loomed the Castle itself.
The beacon of hope to all those who enter.
The bastion of this land and the center of our attack this evening.
It was here that we needed to focus our efforts.
Stay tuned...
We really want to see it but couldn't get a time this weekend when we could all go. Hopefully we'll make it next weekend.
And just as well, as he can be a scurvy cur when the grub ain't up to snuff. 
Only 47 Days 
to go 'til we get there. Yay!
