Up next, Charley's favorite, Mary Poppins!! Little did we know, it was scary eyes Mary!! AAAHHHH
I don't know if you can tell from the pics, but she had really scary eyes. She looked surprised the WHOLE time. Creepy!
Here she is creeping through the bushes!
Not long after, Alice arrived. I love Alice!
And she's even taller than I am!
And then the Mad Hatter made it around. I will say, we've had better looking Mad Hatters than this one. No offense..
We finally had all of our character pics! Since Charley had already taken care of the bill, we were on our way!
The pretty chandelier and a pretty bride!
At this point, we had to walk back to the parking lot. By nature, I stay cold. STAY COLD! That's why you see me wearing jeans at 1900 PF. I may, or may not have changed in the parking lot of the Grand Floridian. Don't judge me. There were NO kids in sight, and I stayed in the car. I'm glad I did this though. It was scorching already!!
We made our way back inside and upstairs to the monorail. We were off to Magic Kingdom!! Yay!!!
Finally!!
We strutted our stuff down Main Street. Can I just point out that giant eyesore that houses the entrance to the bakery? It blocked my view, and I didn't like it. lol
We walked around some, riding the things we wanted to ride. (I say this now, because I can't remember what we did! There's a huge gap in the times on my pics.. alien abduction??)
One of the goals for Magic Kingdom was a Disbride meet up. We were pretty much wasting time until we had to head over to Aloha Isle. I know at some point we grabbed fast passes for Space Mountain. The wait was too long for me. I start to freak out if I'm in those lines too long. My panic attacks set in, and I don't want to look like a looney hyperventilating! LOL
I took a few pics while we were walking around doing so much fun stuff, that I can't even remember it!
Because you can never have too many pics of a sign.
I know I'm not the only one who takes a memory card full of pics of just the castle.. (not really, but it seems that way sometimes.)
Charley told me to take one facing back up Main Street. I don't really think I was able to capture whatever it was he wanted me to capture...
By now, it was almost time for our meet up!! I was starting to get nervous. I'm a very outgoing person. Sometimes a little too much. I just have a hard time with new people at first. Either I don't say anything, or I don't shut up. There's not really a happy medium.
As we were walking along, I noticed a bride and groom with their 'Just Married' buttons on. Since I loved being congratulated on our honeymoon, I returned the favor to this lovely couple. Charley and I kept going on our merry way... Something just didn't seem right though. This random bride looked too familiar to be random. I turned around about the same time she turned around. We looked at each other, and we both had that look when you realize you actually recognize someone. We sort of fumbled for a minute and made intros. It was one of my Disbride pals Kristen and her new husband Doug. So together, we headed over to meet the rest of the girls.
It didn't take long for them to start trickling in. We all stood around chatting in the heat. We were having a dole whip meet up, and I think 2 of the girls bought dole whips! lol I STILL haven't had one. One day I'll remember. Just like the Mickey pretzel.
Morgan had to leave for her wedding rehearsal, so we had the guys take a few pics of us all together.
I guess nobody thought to tell me to take off those gigantic ears, so I wouldn't block people! You can't even see poor Deena's head in most of the pics! Sorry Deena!!!! You should've slapped those ears off my head! LOL!
We were hot and tired of standing, so Sarah led us to Tortuga Tavern. By some small miracle we were able to get enough tables to fit everyone. We sat around chatting about what else.. WEDDING STUFF!! LOL! I chatted with Andrea about our next meet up at the end of the month. We were excited about that one as well. All in all, I think we hung out a little over an hour. Everyone said their goodbyes and scattered.
Charley and I made our way over to Space Mountain. Those fast passes were burning a hole in our pockets!
As we were walking, I took this pic of Kristen and Doug
Snapping away as go..
I'm coming Space Mountain!
The ride was awesome, as it usually is. It was soooooooooo hot, and we were sooooooooo tired. We decided to head back to the room and nap for a while. Magic Kingdom had EMH later that night, and we were going to attempt to stay late.
We monorailed it back to the GF and jumped in our hot car. On the way back to the room, we refilled our mugs. Pomegranate lemonade.. gotta love it!!
Unlike the other times we rested.. I actually rested this time. I was really tired from walking in that heat, and it's something I'm used to living in So. GA!
Up next: EMH? I know we can make it past 10pm.
Sorry if some of the pics are huge.. I promise I resized!
