Wed Feb 25
It was a day off! Monica and I had plans for the daytime at the Magic Kingdom.
I was almost made it to the park when I realized I didn't have my cast id, which meant I couldn't park for free, so I had to turn around and go back for it. Ugh! Eventually I made it into the park. I thought I'd stop into Starbucks but when I saw this line, I changed my mind.
Monica was having breakfast at Sleepy Hollow so I headed there to meet her. When it was time we headed to the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train because I had a FastPass! Monica waited by the castle walls and with my FP I was in and out in about 15 minutes. The ride was amazing as always. I seriously love it.
And the Dwarfs house? I'm ready to move in.
I met back up with Monica and we noticed the Tweedles were out! Those boys are absolutely silly. They noticed my shirt and wanted to know if they could drive the Tardis. I told them they'd have to ask the Doctor, but I kind of doubted it.
We had lunch reservations for later, but since I bailed out of Starbucks and missed breakfast I was hungry. I didn't want anything sweet so I fell back on my mainstay of Magic Kingdom snacks, the Mickey pretzel. We stopped at the Lunching Pad, grabbed a warm pretzel with some cheese and found a spot.
A Disney lady came up and asked us some questions about our snack. She was fun and chatted with us for a while when we told her we were on the college program. I love that Disney has people around asking questions about people's experience in the parks. They take guest feed back seriously which is a wise idea.
When we finished the snack we took a spin on the People Mover and let us move us around part of the park. You get some great views from that ride. I love it!
Monica had a FP for Space Mountain, so while she rode I sat on the Coke boxes where Danny and I usually sit to wait for Hannah when she rides. I texted this picture to my family and told them I missed them.
We decided to head up front and see if we could find our friend (and Monica's neighbor) Seth. He's a character attendant and we knew he was working with Pluto in times square. I was also hoping to meet Snow White since I had my Snow White and the Tardis shirt on. When we got there, most was taking taking a break at the time, but we noticed Marie was out, so we got in her line.
The Trolley Show pulled up while we were waiting and entertained us while we waited!
Seth and Pluto came out while we were waiting. We kept an eye on them and yelled out a hello when we got close enough for him to hear us.
Monica had made us a lunch reservation at Tony's Town Square! I have always heard such mixed reviews about this restaurant so I was really hoping to check it out for myself while I was here.
I was having the best day ever so I was primed to have an amazing time here. We checked in early and were seated almost right away. It was beautiful outside so we asked for a table on the patio and got one. We had a great view of the characters around the flag pole and the guests enjoying their day. When the Move it! Shake it! Celebrate it! parade came out, we had a great view of that too.
We also had a lot of awesome girl talk, not just while we were lunching, but all day long. Thanks Monica!
We decided to share the Tomato Mozzarella salad for a starter.
And then we both chose the Chicken Parmigiana for our entree.
It was tasty and a Lot of food, but honestly the best part was the atmosphere, the location and the excellent company.
But the time we were finished, Pluto and our friend were back on a break, so we decided to find Snow and meet her. There was a bit of a wait and during that time Hannah texted me to say they were sending her home from work because she was having seizure issues. Poor girl. It seems as if she has developed a new seizure trigger in extreme temperatures, and it was definitely super cold in Kansas at that time. She handled it great though and I am super proud of her.
Snow was so much fun! She asked if that was her on my shirt and I said Yes! Then she asked about the Tardis. "Is it safe?" she asked. I had to admit that it really wasn't. I told her about the Doctor though. "Is he nice?" and again I had to admit "Not always." Still I encouraged her to go if he ever came to take her on an adventure!
I love the way we both have our hands on our hips!
It was almost time for Monica to leave for her class but we decided we had time for one more ride. She checked the wait times and we headed for the Jungle Cruise.
No dancing!
I love this ride, although I understand it's kind of a hit or miss depending on which skipper you get. Lucky for us ours was quite funny and we had a good time! It was time for Monica to leave so we hugged goodbye.
