MK - Got to guest services a little before 3, turned in our AP vouchers and got our passes. We decided to go on the train, as we climbed the steps we thought "why are all the people sitting around?" duhhhhh- 3 o'clock parade-so we thought why not wait----- and wait------- and wait----- about 3:20 the parade was coming into sight moving at a snails pace--- a slow snail's pace-----One CM told another the parade was so slow because of the wet streets. Was not impressed with the parade, don't think I would wait for it again. When we realize there were only about six floats (or Mickey in a fish bowl as my DD calls them) we left after the fourth float for the train. Went around 1 2/3 trips. Got off at toon town, very crowded. Wander over to Buzz lightyear and tried to get a fast pass. It spit out "this is not a valid fast pass, you already have a pass for buzz" or something like that. Fred's (DH) also did the same thing. So we walked over the fast pass line and explain the whole thing, the CM gave us a fast pass and we started to walk away thinking they were for later but she pointed go right in.

Yes! That is how to get a trip started.

Next we did the people mover, COP and then HM. About that time we were thinking should we stay for Spectromagic or head back and get some sleep, remember we got up at 3 am. So we decided head back, it was about 6:30 and starting to look rather threatening with rain clouds. And we approached Crystal Palace, the first announcement of in 15 min the parade will be started, so we moved faster, then less than ten mins. even before 7 PM--- the parade started. We were trapped!!!! And then the rains came. We got out shortly before the parade ended and headed to beloved number 18 of the bus stops. You know the bus stop just before you hit the Florida keys. The bus stop that has it's own zip code. The bus stop.....well you get the idea. I forgot to tell you ALL day Fred kept worrying if our luggage would show up. And I kept telling him, we have everything we need for 24 hr. - meds, clothes, toiletries-, don't worry. So of course all was well when we got to the room.

Oh, side note, for anyone who thought they saw a vendor selling mugs, that was me. On my forty pound waistpack, I had two drink mugs and a pal Mickey. During the rainy days I also hung a small umbrella too. I used those clippy things that baby toys are hung with. I may have looked dumb, but my hands were free and no back pack to take off all the time.

So off to sleep.........tomorrow my birthday day.
