So Marzi and I are now just putzin around and we come across one mans dream, I told her that I had heard it was something that everybody should try, I had never been so we decided to check it out.
there were only 4 of us in the theater. I thought I might be catching afew ZZZzzzz's here but, I loved this show. To see Walt come from meager beginnings to creating such a magical place is just mind blowing, to just be inside his mind for one day would be so awesome. We loved this show, it was great and I will definitely take that in on my next trip, Maybe Kent will see that Walt Disney wasn't a money hungry man that just built a place for his own greed. (feel free to flame Kent, but not me) I think Walt was an amazing person, husband, the average family man, and what would life be like today if he didn't share his dreams with us?
SO the show is over and we keep on walking and come across what we thought was the meet n greet for UP. Marzi and I hopped in line for that, we saw there was a no camera no video sign and I thought that's wierd, we can't record or take pictures of this greet, why?
We get lead into a small studio and take our seats, the narrator comes out and introduces Mushu. I figured out then that we had messed up somewhere, bu tthis was really interesting so we stayed, I laughed alot, it was just so funny, then when it was over we followed crowd down the hall, we gotinto another line and I thought ok this is the character meet, so I told Marzi and she pointed to something else and said no that's the character meet.
What am I in line for?
We decided to wait and see what was behind the door. They opened it and we all pile in, there were drawing desks, so we grabbed seats in the back. I asked the lady next to me what this was and she said we are going to learn how to draw a Disney character.
I was so excited,
The guy starts talking and he said he wasn't going to tell us who he was drawing just yet, so we started with the circle, then made the cross like thing through it, I guess to get the eyes and nose where it needs to be, before long we figured out we were drawinf Dopey. Marzi was so excited, she loves Dopey.
The drawing thing was fun, I could really have a futre in this....as long as sombody walked me through it step by step.
Drawings done, we headed out front, I think I found a new favorite at DHS, I had the time of life in there, it was the greatest feeling.
This of course is Marzi's
And this was mine, I wasn't too critical of it, I think it turned out ok, I just wish I would have centered it.
Here's a close up
We decided we were going to head back to the resort then and maybe drink hot chocolate by the pool so we start making our way towards the front. There was a DJ playing songs, we stopped to watch a family dance to the cotton eye joe, they looked like they were having a blast. I was telling Marzi that in my cheerleading coach days whenever we would go to a competition, once it was done and the judges were tallying up the scores they would play all kinds of music for the girls to dance to, it was always things like "the cottoneye joe, or soldia boy, but my favorite was the cupid shuffel. Just then like they had heard me the DJ plays the cupid shuffel, so i get all excited and grab Marzi, "c'mon we're dancing" I taught her the steps which are so super easy and we did the cupid shuffel to our hearts content! Gosh it was so much fun, I was dancing at Disney with my BFF. The last time we were at a dance together was in 7th grade, it was our junior high valentiens dance, it was Marzi me and believe it or not my exhusband, he didn't go tomy school, he was a sophomore in highschool at the time and the principal foudn this out so we got kicked out of the dance. The next day we had to wake up at 4:00am to go to Aspendale New Mexico for snow tubing with the youth group, so leaving early wasn't a bad thing, just gettin gkicked out was little embarassing.
The song was over too fast and we were out of breath but we giggled all the way to the bus stop.
We stopped for some pictures on the way out.
the line was super long, uber long, I have never in my life seen a line for the busses so so long.
It never fails, there is always a cry baby in the bunch when it comes to long bus lines, we got in line behind a grump who didn't feel he should have to wait,"This is crazy, I want to speak to somebody in charge." So he stepped out of line and said he was waiting until sombody got there.
Really! I mean really? Dude it's Disney!
The wait was about 45 minutes, they were slow getting the buses to come, but the time passed quickly for us, finally it's our turn to board, the guy that was complaining finally got to speak to a man and charge and he was apologized to for the wait and allowed to board the next bus coming first, which actually put him right where he would have been in the first place, infront of us on this very bus. He acted like he had some huge victory at this point until he saw that really his complaining and Disney's offer to make it right really didn't get him any further ahead. HAHAHAHA!
Marzi an I were super tired, we laughed alot on the bus ride back, it was the slap happy kind of silliness.

Oh well. I really enjoy your TR and please don't think for a moment nobody is reading. You're doing a great job! 
However, my daughters would LOVE to learn to draw a Disney Character. They are always checking out learn to draw books from the library. I'll have to look for that when we go. About how long do you think the class is?
you do love me, you read my PTR.
We spent about an hour walking around trying to find all the hidden Mickeys...
I believe they were working on Little Mermaid once when I was there with my family. 
So cute! I did that with an exchange student when I was in high school, she loved all the new slang and wanted to write them all down and their meanings. She was from Spain, and her name is Chus Jesus Velore. Isn't that a great name?!? 
My name is Camille and of course anyone I know who is from Mexico, South America....or Spain, 
Yes, yes, she saw me all the way across the lunch hall and yelled my name as if I wouldn't see her without her screaming it! 
As loud as one can whisper yell! 
Needless to say, they became fast friends and were stuck to one another like glue their entire stay in the states.
