Sorry to hear you had a rainy start but sounds like you made the best of it. Go you!!
The Pop foodcourt is great in terms of variety, isn't it? Love all those pictures of Disney food!
We did make the best of it, I love having an umbrella at Disney.
Pop foodcourt does have a great variety!
HE BROKE A RULE!!!

Whatever it was he should have asked you first.
I hope you didn't run into as much rain as we had last year.
He did. I was shocked!! Shocked, I tell you!!
great update!

thats too bad it was raining. on my trip last september, we were waiting on main street for spectromagic to start and it started to rain. i was so worried that it woud be cancelled, but right as the parade started it stopped raining, like magic!
i cant wait to read more!
oh and i think i might have to try some corn dog nuggets when i go down in december, they looked good
You must try the corndog nuggets, they are quite delicious.
I would have been worried that the parade would have been cancelled too, or truthfully I probably would have been headed back to the room.
Okay, not only were you at the Magic Kingdom on your first night drinking in a view of the castle, but it was decorated for Halloween! The most perfect time of the year at Disney, in my opinion!
I am surprised Brook hasn't sensed the corn dog nuggets in your post and wandered over yet.
Boo to the rain, BTMRR being shut down, and not being able to find a park bag, but hurray for seeing Hall of Presidents and Mickey's Philharmagic!
Don't worry about eating slow -- there is no rush.
Can't believe the rude guy bumping into you -- some people have no manners!
Marc broke rules??? Yours or Disney's???
Magic Kingdom is quite nice being decorated for Halloween.
We got a lot done for 2 hours and despite the rain I think.
I have a really hard time eating slow when in public. It is a struggle...keep reading.
He broke a Disney rule!!
Okay, I agree those corn dog nuggets are good. Shamefully good
Well good for you for not letting the rain, rain on your parade! I am sure getting back to the resort and relaxing was a good idea. Sometimes it is really obvious that this is the best plan -- Can't wait to hear about your rope drop!
That is a good way to put it, shamefully good.

We did a lot of resort relaxing this trip.
YAY for first night at MK!! I'm glad it didn't rain the whole night and you were able to really enjoy your time at the park. MK at night is one of my MOST favorite sites at Disney!
Uggghh for rude people! And that is all I'm going to say about that!!
Your pictures look fantastic and just looking at those corndog nuggets is making me drool LOL!!!!!
I agree, MK is the most magical park at night I think.
I can't go to Philharmagic without dealing with rude people it seems.
You did much better in the rain than I do, it makes my cranky!
I'm so glad it decided to stop so you could enjoy some of your evening!
I want to know what rule Marc broke!
It usually makes me cranky too but I think I was on that first day high so it didn't bother me too much.
You will see what rule he broke in the next update.
I
need to try these...they look delicious. Somehow, I have never even tried a corndog! I will stop at Casey's and rectify this horrible situation next month, I swear!
Argh. People can be so annoying. Luckily Philharmagic is so awesome it wipes out all that annoying-ness!
Corndogs were one of my very favorite things growing up. They are a comfort food.
You are so right, Philharmagic does wipe out the annoying stuff.
even with rain and annoying rude people it sounds like a pretty good night!
Whatever rule Marc broke...it sounds MAJOR!
It was a good night, we had fun. It's probably not a major rule but not something he should have done!
They used to be all beef, but the food gurus have just about ruined everything there, so now I'm not even sure. Sad. In fact, "all-beef" used to be all over ALL their signs, but they weren't there on the 4th, so who knows now...???
Rude people suck!
Rule breaking?? Now THAT'S intriguing!
Who knows what they are....I think they are delicious.
Rude people do suck, it's becoming an epidemic!
Sounds like a good first evening despite a few bumps in the road. I hope you two manage to make it back to Big Thunder at some point of the trip. Too bad it was closed during your FastPass time.
All the food looks great. How did Marc enjoy his shrimp lo mein?
Marc really liked his shrimp lo mein! He said it was his favorite CS meal of the trip.
