You can take the girl out of Disney, BUT

We love the Philharmagic! When you are in the waiting area and you hear Minnie say "I love the show ALMOST as much as I love the conductor" makes me smile. When I went on my girl's trip, Corey and I had JUST started dating, and after I hear that little thing, I bought Corey an ornament in the giftshop there, since that is his career goal is to be a conductor!! (YAY we are finally there and he WILL be a conductor of a concert band this year!!!)

I'm sure not gonna tell Skip that you were mistaken. That'll be our little secret.

Yeah for being in the Magic Kingdom!

And I can't believe Skip had never done Philharmagic. We LOVE that show.

He's really not big on 3D movies...but he seems to be liking them more now a days.

he needed a new hop…

Sorry, I just picture him hopping around like a bunny!



Beautiful Castle shots! I miss MK.

I promise to NEVER tell Skip either!

I love those photos of Claire, the ones, where she is mapping out the way and wears the 3d glasses are just so cute!

I always take the same picture inside Philharmagic too!!!

I also take the picture just above the theatre doors that says Doors Open Automagically Towards you

I love Philharmagic. I think it was one of the first attractions we did in MK and I was sold on the magic that WDW has to over then and there.

Great pics

I love the walk down Main Street this morning.

Wish I was doing that right now.

Ok, I can't figure where I wrote that and what it is about.....Did i do a spelling error? I wouldn't put it past me because it's been another crazy busy weekend.

She likes to be in charge with the map, so we always now have to have one just for her. Sometimes that makes a tired girl happy.

I'll have to take that one next time. I don't think I ever noticed that.

MK is just such a happy place. I can just sit there and be happy.

Yup! When you said he needed a new hip, you had the word hop

I thought it was nice error!

Thanks..That is cute!!

After we enjoyed Philharmagic, I went to get a Fast pass for Peter Pan. I had “thought” that when you got a Princess FP, you could still get a regular FP as well. Well I was wrong, or this rule has changed because it would not allow me to get one. Oh well, I would come back and get one when the time was right.

We headed off to Small World next. I know many people really aren’t fans of this, but I will always love it. The line was long, but it moved fairly fast.

Soon we were on our boat and off to the land of singing.

We decided now would be a good time for lunch. It was a little after 11 and we hoped to beat the major lunch rush. We decided that we would try Pinocchio’s Haus. It’s been MANY years since I have eaten here……. Probably 1997. We got in line and checked out the menu. I decided that Claire and I should share since I wasn’t at the point of starving and I knew she wouldn’t eat a whole meal. I asked her what she wanted….big mistake…..she wanted chicken nuggets. UGH. I tried to convince her that pizza was the way to go, for something different, but she wouldn’t budge, so chicken nuggets is what we got. Skip got a meatball sandwich if I remember right. As we were ordering I noticed they had chocolate cake. I am not a huge fan of chocolate cake, but in years past I always loved the Disney version as it was so fudgy and I loved the frosting, so I added that to our order too.
I waited for the order while Skip and Claire went in search of a table and then Claire came back to wait with me so she could show me where the table was. It was very busy now. I’m glad we hadn’t waited any longer or we wouldn’t have found an empty table to easily.

As I have mentioned before, I tend to attract pushy people. There was a girl waiting in the out line and she kept trying to get in front of me. I’m not sure if she had ordered or what, but she kept trying to push her way through me and some other families. It was taking them awhile to fill orders and hers never did come before ours, so I am not sure what her deal was, but it was kind of annoying.

We sat down and filled ourselves up.

I had to get the picture fast because they were going to devour it before I had a chance.

I must say the chocolate cake was a bit of a letdown. It’s not as good as it used to be. They changed the fudgy frosting. It was OK, but I won’t go out of my way to order it now.

After we were well fed and full, Claire and I headed back up front for the Princess meet. Skip said he was going to find a bench and rest. He did say his feet were doing much better with the new inserts, but his legs were still tired.

I think I was able to grab the Peter Pan FP before we headed that way as well.

I took pictures on our journey back towards the front.

We met a few “characters” on the way too.

We got in line and it looked long…but hey, this is the Fast pass line and it will move quickly…right…and not nearly as long as the stand-by looked.

We were given one of these too. .

And soon after we got in line we realized that Skip had the backsack with the pillowcase for signatures. There was no way we were about to go back and get that, and Claire said she was Ok without autographs since she has seen the princesses before

And then we waited …and waited…and waited. We didn’t move much at all. But at least we did move, while the stand by line…was pretty much at a complete halt.

I’m not sure what the problem was, but this seemed to take forever. And part of the feeling was from the people behind us…yes again, the pushy people that like to get behind me.

This family didn’t speak much English from what I could tell. The kids were antsy, I can understand that, but they kept bumping into people all around. Every time we did move, the mom would shout something in her language and the kids would take off up ahead of several people….every time. I don’t know if she was trying to get them to cut or what, but then they would come back after people would kind of send them back or no one would let the parents by to catch up with them. It was just kind of strange.

I think we waited over 20 minutes in the line before we got to make it to the next room to wait. It seemed longer than that. Even Skip had called and asked what was taking so long.

We were the last family to go in the room. The pushy people behind us didn’t make the cut. So we had a breather from them for at least a few minutes. Claire kept commenting to me how bratty the kids were. LOL….like she is a perfect angel all the time.

I took some practice shots while we waited.

I don’t know what Aurora was doing, but she looks like a posed mannequin here.

Sorry to laugh, but I know if I were you with those pushy people... I would have been a bit agitated. Why is it when we like our personal bubble...people seem to figure that out and encroach on it? Now, I am not always in need of my own space... lets face it, in WDW sometimes you are pretty close to your neighbor... but sometime it feels just TOO close.

Love Aurora's pose. She doesn't look real.

During our last trip to the World we had problems with pushy people trying to cut the lines. It seemed to be foreigners for the most part.

I swear i attract them like magnets.

Aurora does look fake.

It drives me batty. I must smell really good or something...or really bad and they want to get away from me....just further up the line.
