Disney Day 2

Wow, we are SO BEHIND with the blog! Here is the second day that we spent at Walt Disney World Florida. We spent the day at the Magic Kingdom. We had been noticing that some families were getting to ride in the front cabin of the mono rails. We asked and were escorted to the front. The boys were even given "co pilot" cards. One must understand that Walt Disney loved trains. Well my friends, he has some good company in that. There is a steam train that goes all the way around Magic Kingdom. Big C was on that like me on warm cookies! While Monkey and I waited in line to go and see Mickey Mouse, Big C and daddy found a play park that he could explore. I would like to take a minute to let you know that Mr Mouse is NOT as I would have thought, wandering around the park. Oh no. They keep him inside behind velvet ropes and at the end of line ups. If you want to see him, you have to know where to find him then you have to wait in line.

This was our evening for our "character dinner". Everyone was there (except Mickey) and the boys loved it. I got told off by Chip (or Dale) for a-not knowing which one was which and b-calling Chip (or Dale) a female and c-calling him (her?) a bear. Luckily for me, they are not allowed to talk, just make gestures, family friendly ones at that!!!

We took a ride on the Aladdin ride. This is actually the exact same ride as Dumbo and the Dinosaurs in Animal Kingdom. They must have gotten a bulk discount or something-lol! A familiar, yet very fun ride. The boys loved it.

We figured out today that Mickey is not just wandering around, but rather very strategically placed. We watched the Mickey show several times and Monkey was absolutely enthralled.

Totally pooped

In my defence on the whole Chip/Dale thing. This was my first trip to Disney World (i.e. my parents never took me) and I was only allowed to watch 60 minutes of TV on a daily basis. Overall that turned out okay for me on most other topics, but apparently did throw me under the bus when it came to getting told off by a rather annoyed asexual rodent whose identity is still not clear to me.

OK ... S's Mom has broad shoulders. I can take it! If the worst part of her childhood was not getting to know the chipmunks, I'll take full responsibility.
