DISNEY: THANKS FOR ALL THE FUN!

Home stretch now… we’re at the end of a fabulous week! Our last day would start and end in the Magic Kingdom. That day it was incredibly crowded because it was the 40^th Birthday of when Magic Kingdom opened. They gave out special pins, copies of the first map Disney World ever made, executives talked and there was even a special parade.

Our day though began at the Crystal Palace breakfast buffet. It is a character breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and Friends. The first time Kyle and I came to Disney together we ate here on our last day and it’s now a tradition.

Now, word came to me that Rapunzel can be met by the castle beginning at 9:15am and the line gets long – sometimes 2+ hours. At 9:00am, I looked at Kyle and said “I’m done eating, can I go get in line while you are waiting to pay?” Then I hotfooted over there! Hahaha. I was 3^rd in line. NICE!

Okay, so now… fun story about how I am sort of a jerk but totally owned it. After I met Rapunzel I wanted to get a spot for the parade. It was supposed to be every character walking down Main Street to celebrate (what a sight)!! Unfortunately, the crowd was insane and it was packed everywhere. Some people were even getting nasty if you jostled them – sheesh! I’m not that big of a Disney fan.

Anyway… me being a jerk: I started talking to a young mother with two girls (who just so happened to be at the FRONT of the parade line) and I said how I just met Rapunzel about 100ft back at the castle. She got all excited because her girls wanted to meet her but the lines were always so long. Looking at her husband she was debating with herself if she should leave the parade line. I, being totally unafraid to plant ideas in someone’s head, told her it would be a good idea because I only waited 10 minutes.

Yeah, she left the line. Then we found out Rapunzel left her post to be in the parade and wouldn’t come back until it was over!!! Hahahahaa. Oops. =) I was at the front now though, see…

 And to show you the extent of the crowd we fought through:



Usually in September you’d see about ¼ of that. While everyone stood and listened to the executives talk Kyle and I ran for the unattended rides. SUCKERS. I even got to meet my scary looking fairy godmother. Hello Godmother, can I get $1,000,000? Thanks.

Now it’s time to bid adieu. =(

I’ll see you soon, Disney. I always come back. Wait for me!
