Yeah so what about 00:01 this tomorrow morning
No thats ok Can't wait.

Nope. Couldn't update any sooner today. It was a very busy day. Well, maybe not that busy. I was lounging by the pool....

Busy day lunging by the pool, was it a Disney pool, or were you sunbathing in RT Dreams, by the pool!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Okay, I'm late to this here TR, but I've read it ALL. And now I am caught up and ready for more.

 

[SingingMom]

I love that you're my #2 gal!

DM!!! I saw your TWIN this afternoon while we were out to dinner!!!
Ok, she was probably a teenager, but I swear it had to be what you looked like at that age!!

Dana thought so too, after I pointed the girl out... Bob, however, gave me this look like, "I have NO IDEA what DawnMaree looks like since we didn't MEET her." geesh... he rarely looks at the DIS while I am online!

I'll have to post a pic of when I was a teenager. I did look very different. I was very very thin, like 100 pounds and my hair was a bit darker. Funny how age lightens your hair...

is that stitch Shirt for infants or for pets? That looks so neat on your dog.
Mabey if you dye your dog blue then you can have a real stitch. But the dye might hurt your dog so maybe we shouldn't.

It's for pets. She can wear baby doll clothes though. No not dying her hair, she wouldn't like me.

Sunday, June 24....Magic Kingdom
Crystal Palace


Hopes:
1. A better day with PhotoPass...
2. A wonderful meet with Courtney...
3. No blisters on my feet...today was my Crocs Ithaca day
4. A meeting with the Dream Team

Wants:
1. Ride Splash Mountain with Courtney & Ryan ...
2. A good lunch at Crystal Palace with good character interaction...
3. Have a good rest at the resort in the afternoon
4. Return to Magic Kingdom in evening for dinner and Wishes


We arrived to check in at Crystal Palace at 11:15 am. There was only 1 couple ahead of me in line so I thought that would be excellent and quick to check in. Well, I should have known better. This couple was trying to make an ADR for lunch now. The CM told them that they were completely booked today. Then the couple wanted to know about tomorrow and the next day... The CM told them that they had an opening at around 2 pm for Wednesday. The couple discussed it briefly and decided that would be fine. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting just to check in. Then, instead of thanking the CM and leaving after they make their ADR for 3 days from now, they ask the CM what is on the menu. What??? That ticked me off. They didn’t even know what was on the menu? Okay, I guess I can understand that but did they need to know right now? There was a longer line forming behind me. The CM goes on to list just about everything imagineable that was on the buffet. Finally, another CM came over and took my name and gave me the pager. I handed the pager over to Rob and went inside for a pit stop. Yup...that Diet Coke caught up with me and I needed to relieve myself before I started doing the “pee dance”. That’s what we call it in our family and Alec is famous for the last minute “pee dance”. Oh, there will be a story on that later in my TR...

So, our pager goes off and we head on in. We are seated in the “right side” of the restaurant all the way to the back next to a window. It was a very nice location but a bit far from the buffet.

I ran up to the buffet first to get the kids their meals. They all had chicken fingers. Then I went back up to get my own stuff. I really love the salmon and jasmine rice so that’s pretty much all I got but I got a lot of it. Then Rob went up to get his plate and he managed to fill it up. With what? I have no idea because I was ready for the characters to come around!

First around to our table is Eeyore...

...and then Tigger who was pretending to steal some of Brookie’s food.

Of course, I have to have a picture of all my kids with Tigger.

Then, the star of the show....Pooh!...who gave all the kids hugs...

When we first sat down we saw Piglet quite a ways away from us and we thought it was only a matter of time before he came over. We didn’t notice at first that he wasn’t coming until Tigger, Eeyore, and Pooh came. I started looking for Piglet and could not find him. Then I saw him about 10 tables away. Okay, we still had to eat dessert. I did manage to get some pictures of some of the desserts.

Here’s some cream cheese brownies, I think (I didn’t like them and neither did Rob)...

The kids got to make their own sundaes...

...and here are some more regular brownies and the best dessert here...whiskey soaked chocolate trifle cake. I went back for 2nds of that dessert and even talked a woman sitting next to us into getting some, which she loved!

So, Piglet was about 5 tables away and he totally leaves! He’s gone for a couple of minutes and then comes back. That’s okay. I was sure he would be at our table soon. We were done with our dessert but I was determined to wait. He got to the table right beside us when the parade starts and off he goes in the parade! Then when the parade finished, he took off again. I got a bit upset at that point thinking we were “blown off” by Piglet. I said something to our waitress who said Piglet would be right back. So we waited and sure enough he came right back to our table.

Finally, I was happy and we left. Our meal was wonderful. Our waitress brought us refills without asking. Everything was just about perfect as usual so we will definitely be returning here as it is one of favorite places for lunch in the Magic Kingdom!

So, as we were leaving the park, we noticed that the castle....laughing: Cliffhanger you can thank Mandy for!)

Next installment...June 24...Magic Kingdom...Home Video

 

[Goofyluver]

We sat where you sat!!! And I made the salmon at home...and it was just as delish!

Hate the cliffhanger...

Maybe Piglet had to make a couple of Pit Stops as well! Did you notice if he was doing the Pee Pee Dance in the parade? (By the parade do you mean the napkin waving thing?)

I love the way Alec is looking at Eeyore in the pic.
