And so we move onward
.to DAY 2! Which was Magic Kingdom day! Hurrah! We took the bus Magic Kingdom that morning
.but we did not go in.
No, instead we turned left and headed up to the monorail! Does anyone else find themselves singing the Simpsons Monorail song in their head whenever they get on this thing?
As we waited for the monorail, only one other family was standing with us (because everyone else was rushing into the Magic Kingdom!). They were looking at us kind of funny. Then the mom leaned over. Hey, werent you on What Not To Wear? I said Yes, we both were! We talked for a few seconds and then the monorail arrived. It was pretty crowded, and the family ended up sitting across from us. At one point I heard the mom whisper We should get your picture with her! to her teenage son. He shook his head and looked mortified
Where were we going, anyway? Heres a clue
Not sure?
Yes, we had an ADR at Kona! Because I absolutely had to try the famous Tonga Toast!
We checked in just a few minutes early. But there was a big stack of people waiting around
.looked like they were running behind. We hung out around the entrance, when two women ran up to us. You are Kelly! From What Not To Wear!
Jakkie and I couldnt believe that I had been recognized twice in the span of about 20 minutes. It was probably because I looked very much like the before Kelly in my Alice purse and Alice shirt. I was really surprised that they remembered my name and everything one of the women even wanted a picture. Theres my 15 minutes of fame, yall
Eventually we were called and shown to our lovely corner booth
Jakkie got some typical eggs & pancake nonsense, but I ordered the most delicious breakfast ever. A Kona latte:
And the Tonga Toast
Which was far, far more amazing than I could have possibly imagined. I ate all of it. And then it was time to Magic Kingdom it up.
Our first ride was the Jungle Cruise, where we had a marvelous skipper named Mark. I dont know if theyve completely changed the spiel, or if our guy was just uniquely hilarious, but he was very funny and I hadnt heard most of his jokes before.
During the part when we were in the dark caverns he did an impression of a submarine, which ridiculously funny. Maybe one of those you had to be there moments. He also imitated the TTA announcer. NOW APPROACHING
.
Next we hit up Pirates, then on to one of my favorite rides of all time, Splash Mountain!
We really didnt get wet at all, but Jakkie hadnt been on it in a while and couldnt remember where the drop was, so I teased her at every single little drop saying it was the big one. Which was mean of me, because she was anxious the whole ride and probably didnt enjoy it.
Where to next? BTMRR we were getting on to all the rides with about a 15 minute wait. Fantastic!
This ride was much different than I remembered. I didnt remember the water or the little bats! It was really fun.
We headed toward Liberty Square, getting side-tracked by Woodys Ho-Down. You know it.
Woody's Roundup, right here every day
Woody's Roundup, come on, it's time to play
There's Jessie, the yodeling cowgirl
Bullseye, he's woody's horse
Pete the old prospector, and Woody the man himself of course
It's time for Woody's Roundup. he's the very best
He's the rootinest tootinest cowboy in the wild wild west
For some reason I felt compelled to take 523, 299 pictures of this mesmerizing event.
Next we had to check out Jakkies favorite place in the whole (walt disney) world:
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. We spent quite a bit of time in here she is real into holiday decorations, while I am more of the why spend $20 on something Im going to keep in the basement 11 months out of the year? variety.
Id like to end this installment with a truly exciting visit to an attraction I hadnt been to in years, at Jakkies request.
Was this her revenge for me making her sit through Ellens Dinosaur n Energy Joint the day before? I am not sure.
Coming up: Scary adventures, menacing fowl, and evil stepsisters!
That is so funny that people recognized you, very cool.
