Tuesday, 11/7

We wanted to arrive at MK by around 8:30... that did not happen. We left the hotel at around 8:30, and were in MK by 9:30. Rode the train to Frontierland as soon as we got there, and Dad, Eeyore, Buzz and I rode Splash Mtn. w/ a 10 min. wait. Mom and Pluto took pics. We went to Tom Sawyer Island to look 4 paint brushes. It was fun, but Pluto was disappointed because we didn't find any. Then we went to Adventureland and rode Pirates. Mom and Pluto found Captain Hook and Mr. Smee. While they got pics and autographs, the rest of us went to get Dole Whips. Those things were good! We ate them while getting FP for Jungle Cruise, then we did the Tiki Room, which is now really funny, and the Swiss Family treehouse. By that time we could use our FP. Jungle Cruise was one of Pluto's favorites, but Eeyore and I spent the whole ride rolling our eyes at the jokes. We had just enough time to see the Country Bears before Our 1:30 PS at Crystal Palace. On the way there we found characters- Liverlips from Country Bears, and Prince John and Friar Tuck from Robin Hood. We had almost no wait at Crystal Palace. We ate w/ the Pooh characters, but Piglet wasn't there- they said he was too shy to come out that day. It had pretty good food, but the character interaction wasn't as good as Chef Mickey's. Tigger liked our Pluto's Tigger hat and shirt. We took a picture of them bouncing together. After lunch we tried to get a spot to watch the parade, but lunch had lasted longer than we thought it would. We went all over the place looking for a spot, and finally just stood in front of the castle. There were people standing in the mulch around the plants that were up about 4 ft. from the ground, so the kids stood up there to see. A CM came over several times before the parade started and tried to have everyone get out of the mulch and grass, but there was nowhere else to go. Once the parade started, she didn't bother people any more, so we stood up there anyway. After the parade, we got FP for Haunted Mansion and then did Hall of Presidents. Dad and the older kids did HM, but Pluto didn't want to. He and Mom checked out the lines in Fantasyland. The FP for Pooh were gone already. We rode Small World (do you know how annoying that song is?!) and saw the Lion King show. Mom and Dad then took Pluto to see the real Pluto in Toontown while Eeyore, Buzz, and I rode the teacups. Dad then met up w/ us and we rode the Barnstormer while waiting for Mom and pluto. We watched the fireworks while we walked to Tomorrowland. As the fireworks were ending, Dad, Eeyore, Buzz and I ran onto Space mtn. w/ no wait. Mom and Pluto rode the TTA. When we got off Space Mtn. there was still no line, so we did it again. That was cool, even though Buzz kept yelling in my ear. We watched the goodnight kiss at the castle and then wandered through main st. and the camera shop on our way out. We got the car and drove to the Y&B club to get dinner at Beaches & Cream. They have really good burgers and really big sundaes. Eeyore and I shared one called "No way Jose" and we could only eat like half of it. We walked around a little at the Y&B club, and got back to the hotel around 10.

next- Day 2: Animal Kingdom and Epcot
 
Thanks for the great report.

My favorite place is the MK and I love those Dole Whips, YUMMY!

It sounds like you had a great day at the MK. You sure did find lots of characters. We ran into Smee and Hook too. They were fun. :)

Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
