I sent you an email through the Dis system, but could not attach the files that way. Would you mind PM me with your email address? I promise to keep all personal info private. If I do not hear from you, have a great trip!
Hi everyone! I'm back...I unfortunately got kinda sick at WDW and have been feeling yucky for the past few days. Beherenow, sorry I was not able to get the chairs for you....I got a message in my email about it but like you said, it did not work and I didn't see the other posts on here before I left. I meant to come to the boards in the a.m. but we overslept and just barely made it on time. However, the stupid monorail going into the Contemporary Resort before ours broke down and we were sitting on the rail not moving for about 20 minutes, which caused us to be late getting into the MK, and therefore missing the tour
(they had a tour, but it was booked).
Still, we were able to get almost everything else VMK related (we didn't have a lot of extra cash to buy things for stuff, but we did buy the candy for the penny press..which looked purple on the card and I was excited, but it was really red, which I already had two of....so that was a bummer but it's okay. I had to endure this creepy "foam candy" for that
).
We didn't buy a picture on Buzz Lightyear, but I asked the lady if I could have a card anyway and she handed me about 5, then said "here, have more" and gave me 3 more! I gave two to FlyingPegasus (we met up with her and her friend in Tomorrowland, which was cool. My first time meeting a VMK or DIS person in real life
), and two to my fiance, so now I have four wanted posters.....yay! I put them all in my tent room (thanks to cteddiesgirl) for now.
We cheated on the quests
, the questions were hard and we didn't want to waste time actually figuring them out, since my fiance had not been to MK in over 10 years.
We also tried to create 2 "born in park" characters for ourselves and one for another DISer, but since we made the accounts before VMK opened, we couldn't actually "create" the character itself: so they didn't have the BIP badges or mickey ears
I didn't know that would happen, or we would have waited until after 10 am.
Other stuff: besides the coolness of getting VMK stuff and meeting FlyingPegasus, the rest of the day kinda sucked. Everything wanted to break down on us (first thing we rode after the monorail incident was Stitch, and the show stopped a minute after we had sat down and the lights came on, so we had to come back later). We saved it for almost last and I'm glad, because I was so mad after going on it that I wanted to leave. I hate when Disney changes rides or shows that I love (I wanted to hurt someone when Journey into Imagination at EPCOT was changed) and the new Stitch is SO not as cool as Alien Encounter was
I felt like screaming at the people in the gift shop after ("Why did they change it!!!!!????? It was so awesome before and now it's terrible!!!!!")
Plus, there was this really weird vibe I felt the second we walked onto Main Street. I usually feel magic in the air whenever I walk into Disney, but it just was not there this time (I cannot explain it). Even the cast members did not seem their usual cheerful self, and one was just downright...well, I don't know what to call him...but the guy who took us onto the Carousel of Progress said into the microphone, "Just remember you all....it might be a 'Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow' for all of you, but for those of us that work here, it's just another tomorrrow." Then he came back to the mic and said "just kidding, folks, it's great to work here" in a voice that sounded like he DID NOT really mean that. I was stunned that a cast member would say something like that! I laughed though, the COP was the last thing we did after Stitch and it was just another reason for me to want to go home
Anyway, there were more good points and bad points to the day, but I won't bore you....I just hope it's better next time (and we get to make the tour)!

Foam candy sounds pretty scary too. Ah. The things we all do for vmk!
They were all dark blue. Donald's butt hanging out of the wall at the end was hilarious, and the magic carpet scene made me feel like I was actually flying: I got lost in the moment for a....moment.
