YES, We really are going to Disney AGAIN!!!!

[MrsHeg]

We met a new Citizen of Hollywood, Melvin McCheezmo, he's hilarious.

 

[MrsHeg]

We hadn't seen the new Block Party Bash yet so we hung out on our bench, (yes we have a favorite bench at the Studios), before long this is what we saw,

Don't ya just love Mr. Potato Head?

 

[MrsHeg]

Here's my opinion on Block Party, it's really cute and fun, but if you gave me the choice I would pick a parade.

 

[MrsHeg]

DH's neck was really bothering him so we skipped RNR and went on TOT once, after that we took the bus over to Wilderness Lodge for dinner at Whispering Canyon.

We both got the skillet dinner, it was good but not amazing, our server did a good job.

We took the bus over to the Magic Kingdom to transfer to ours, we arrived in time to see this,

Our dinner was pretty late and DH wasn't feeling well at all so we called it a night, or tried to . . . . .

 

[MrsHeg]

The plan for Monday was to arrive at Studios in time for rope drop, spend the entire day and stay for Fantasmic, well . . . . . .


That's not what happen at all. DH kept me up must of the night trying to get comfortable, but her was in too much pain. At 2 am I gave him a double dose of advil and he finally went to sleep. Before I could ask him how he felt when he woke up at 6:30 am he winced in pain when he moved so I knew then that it was time to do something.

CentraCare opened at 8:00 am and they provide free transportation to the clinic so I decided to call them right at 8:00 am. You may be wondering why I didn't take our vehicle and drive myself, I've rarely driven our truck as it's full sized and I'm not comfortable driving it at all, DH could barely turn his neck so I figured having them pick us up would be the best bet.

I didn't get through until 8:08 am and she told me that they would be here in 10 - 12 minutes, I think he was here sooner than that. I can't say enough about how organized the whole set up is, you actually fill out your paperwork in the van, the pharmacy is in the same building and they bring you back to the resort very quickly. The good news was DH has a muscle spasm in his neck, and while it is painful it is not serious and will just take time to heal. They gave him something for pain and some muscle relaxers and sent us on our way.

While we were in the clinic Grumpy got a call that his mother had been taken to the hospital, they were afraid she had a blockage in her heart and were keeping her there for tests.

 

[MrsHeg]

Grumpy called his father and he promised to give us a call when he found something out, so Grumpy tooks his meds and we took the bus over to Studios, we arrived right about noon, and this is what we found,

It was so crowded that this guy had to direct the "People Traffic"

Where are those low crowd levels we've come to know and love in November?

 

[MrsHeg]

Disney didn't waste anytime updating to HSM 3

 

[MrsHeg]

We were looking for something to do that wouldn't jerk Grumpy's neck too much so we headed over to the Stunt show, the weather was perfect for it,

 

[tinknme]

Great update & pictures Debbie! Hope dh neck feels better soon & that all is well with his mother

 

[MrsHeg]

We headed over to Animations to see Sorcerer Mickey and the stars of the new movie "Bolt"

I really hate this picture of me but I'll post it bcause Mickey is in it,

And here are Bolt and Mittens,

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Debbie, I am sorry to hear about DH's neck! Ouch! I hope his mom is OK.
GREAT pics!

Is it August yet?

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Debbie, great pictures!
You are looking great too!

I hope Bolt and Mittens are there in February! Leighanna would love to meet them!

I hope Grumpy's neck is better soon!

 

[my3princes]

Wow, you had a little string of bad luck. I hope that everything improves quickly

 

[Tammi67]

Thanks for the update, Debbie. Wow. What perfect timing to have a muscle spasm. NOT. I hope the meds work so that you both can continue to enjoy your trip.

 

[PNO4TE]

Debbie - I hope your DH feels a lot better after another day of meds. And, by the way... you look FABULOUS!

 

[MrsHeg]

Thanks everyone, DH is feeling much better, although if we are'nt moving after he takes the muscle relaxer he gets pretty drowsy.

We also got a call about his mom, her tests came out fine and they sent her home,

 

[MrsHeg]

Dinner tonight was at 50's Prime Time, the past couple of years our servers really weren't into their parts, not so this year.

We had Cousin Joe, and he shared a section with Cousin Janice. They were a hoot! A dad from one table got caught with his elbows on the table for the third time and had to hold a sugar packet on the wall with his nose, the look on his little girls face when Daddy got in trouble was priceless.

After the rough start to the day this was just what the doctor ordered.

Grumpy had the New York strip and I had the fried chicken, his was good but mine was better. I had the sugar free cheesecake for dessert, I don't recommend this one, it was pretty bad.

 

[MrsHeg]

Fantasmic had two shows this day and we planned on attending the 6:30 show. It was after 6:00 pm when we finished with dinner so they had already started loading the theatre by the time we got there. We were seated in the next to the last section on the end but they were not bad seats at all, not a bad trade off for not standing in line for and hour and sitting for another hour before the show.

After years of trying I finally got a few decent shots at Fantasmic,

 

[MrsHeg]

After Fantasmic we followed the "herd" out of the theatre and headed back to the resort. It was time for Grumpy to take his meds again, I was hoping that he would be able to get some sleep tonight and me too.

Tomorrow - Magic Kingdom rope drop, dinner at 1900 Park Fare followed by the Christmas party.

 

[Tammi67]

Debbie - you did get great shots. Great zoom! What kind of camera do you have?
