I was trying very hard to keep Disney posts in a timeline fashion...trouble is I was overwhelmed and part of 2012 is to keep my blogs up to date...so, when we go to Disney, I am going to post and at the same time, still try to update past ones...it will be hard but, I am pretty sure I can do it...
so that being said...Thursday night was a bad antler night, and I decided that we needed some really serious "down" time and where better to do that than at the big D? I did feel a little bad that the little princess could not miss school but, we already anticipated that D would be absolutely packed and when it is like that, it is hard to do with kids...
so, Tim, Ross & I got up early and headed out and got there just a little after it had opened and as we anticipated, there were a ton of people...the gates to get in were over packed and they started something new since the last time we were there...I guess we have graduated to "those" people...Ross and I both ride our scooters when we go and we went to the closest gate, and the girl at the gate, says, "you guys cannot get in this way anymore. there are just too many of you kind of people and now you have your own gate." Really? wow...not sure how to take that...we could be classified as special with our own gate, but it could also be we are "those" people that are a nuisance...no matter who really cares if it gets us into the Happiest Place on Earth? right?
so since holiday items are still up (they are going down on Sunday) and I had not seen Small World Holiday Edition, that is where we headed first...now let me say, this is Ross least favorite ride so we were surprised when he went on the ride with us...and this Holiday Edition did not
disappoint...the decorations were spectacular, I was so happy with all that they did, I remember some of it from last year, but it seems a lot more was added this year, in particular this ginormous snowman sitting on top of a snowflake...breathing...we thought Ross might be bored since he does not like this ride at all, so we had him cont how many Disney characters he could find among all of the dolls...he did pretty good...(silly him tho, he thought someone from Disney was going to ask him the total number !!!) the one part that I thought was pretty cute was in the Mermaid section and they were singing, "jingle shells, jingle shells..." too cute...my favorite part of course is Holland, Ireland, and then the snowy part...love love love it...I really cannot get enough of this ride tho the song does get to you after a while...
so Tim always HAS to get his fix of beniegts and a mint julep, so we headed that way and once we get to Frontier land, Tim has us pull our scooters over to have a talk with us...he hands us his credit card and said to go have breakfast in our favorite place (Plaza Inn) while he went on a fast pass to Thunder mountain...now, if I have not blogged about Plaza Inn before, OMG it is a feast fit for a king...the absolute bestest omelets, and spiral ham and sausage and anything else you can imagine...fruit and mickey waffles but the best part is that all of the characters come around to your table and talk to you and take pics...I am a little sad when I am there without the grandkids, but they have also all been there for breakfast several times...the only drawback is that the cost is a little excess...(23.95 per person but so well worth when you need a good sit down breakfast...) and to see the little one's faces (the ones that think the characters are real) is so heartwarming...
more to follow tomorrow...am tired and off ot bed I go...
