day 7 -mon
(oops! last entry should've been day 6)

This is our last full day at WDW. Since DD seems to like entainment for dinner we cancelled PS at Spoodles for tonight and asked front desk CM if she could see if there was any chance we could get into Hoop Dee Doo. She said "sure". :D So happy. loved this show when we went in '98. Think DD will like it too.

We went to Mk today. Went to Toontown Fair. Walked thru Minnies house - Pluto was out back posing for pictures. Went to Judge's Tent and Mickey was there for pictures. Then went the Hall of Fame (? can't remember if that's the name) stood in line for characters titled "storybook characters" (you don't know who will be in there when you are called in. It was Cinderella - great surprise! She posed for pictures with DD. In the next line it was called "Mickey and friends" in there was Minnie and Chip. The next line was "Pooh and friends" in there was pooh, tigger and eyeore. Great photo-opps! Rode teacups next. FP Peter Pan. Was approx. 11 am and standy times for IASW, PP, Pooh and Snow White were 60 min! Fantasyland was mobbed! There were stollers 5 deep in front of all the attractions!!! And was it HOT!! Decided to move on. Saw Cinderella's Surprise Celebration in front of the Castle. This was AWESOME!!!Every character was part of the show. Cindy, Prince Charming, 2 mice, fairy godmother, belle, beast, snow white, prince, minnie, mickey, chip, dale, donald, goofy, peter pan, hook, jeanie, mulan, evil queen (from snow white). It was so good. After the show different characters came out into the crowd for pictures. Not sure all of them, but we caught Lilo and Stich for pictures. This was a great time! Very magical and very Disney!!

Headed to Haunted Mansion (had FP) still very good. Then did Goofy's Country Jamboree. SO fun!!! DD loved it! Wasn't very crowded we were right up to the stage. Cute show, Goofy taught us to line dance, then Woody, Jesse, Bullseye and Chip came out onto the dance floor. All the kids circled around them and did the dances. Very fun. Although I enjoyed Diamond Horseshoe Show in the past, this is a fun thing for kids to do on this side of the park.

Saw Country Bear Show. Still cute. Called it a day. Headed back to Poly for nap.

Time for Hoop Dee Doo. Gave ourselves 1 hour to get there. Took monorail to MK. Took boat to FW. Made it there just at 7. Boats are really slow and hot (believe it or not if you are inside there's no breeze) Had a great time at Hoop Dee Doo. Server was really funny with his dry humor! We were upstairs, the last table next to the stage. Kinda neat having an arial view. We were so far over, that I could see backstage. Still not bad for getting PS so late. We could see everything probably better than someone who was sitting in a floor seat in the back. Show is very entertaining. DD loved all the singing and dancing. Food was basic, but tasty. DH liked the ribs, but I thought the fried chicken was really good. Also had really good bread, good salad, baked beans and corn (not on the cob) For dessert we had strawberry shortcake - very good. Tickets are kinda expensive (90 something $ for 2 adults) but I thought the entertainment was worth it, the food was good and all the beer or sangria you wanted was included.

After dinner went back to MK to do a few more rides. By the way try not to enter a park as soon as fireworks or spectromagic ends. We could not get up Main Street. I felt like I was driving down the highway the wrong way! We were getting run down left and right! Did Magic Carpet ride, tried to do SM still 60 min wait, oh well! Rode Carousel, teacups, PP and then headed back to hotel. Bummed this was our last nite, but we had a truly wonderful vacation with lots of memories!:)

Sounds like a great day! We plan to do the Hooop-de-doo in October 2005 for DD's 5th birthdday. Sounds like it will be worth it!!
