A Visit with the Mouse – part 5

Here are photos from our Supercalifragilistic Breakfast:

Oh, and when we got back our room, housekeeping left Glitter Glue Princess’s daybed in the following condition:

Sooooo sweet.

Next post will be photos from Chef Mickeys….

A few photos from the Jungle Cruise:

Moving on to the Character Meals next….

A visit with the mouse – part 3

This is a mesh of a couple days.

From Disney Studios, this was from my favorite ride:

Toy Story Mania – such fun.  S wanted a picture of the lamp for one of his cartooning friends, so I took a better shot of it…

It is the Pixar lamp at the beginning of the movies!  Same pose and everything!

When we were at Epcot one of the days, Belle was out front!

More to come….  Many character meals await….

Pictures from Magic Kingdom….

Pinocchio was out for a signing, since his film is remastered on DVD next month…

This is what it looks like when the traffic is fairly heavy in the magic kingdom….  Betcha don’t see this too often…

Glitter Glue Princess got her wish of meeting fairies – it only took waiting in line for a bit…

The entire affair shocked her a bit, as you can see from her expression above.  They just talked and talked and talked to her, and kind of put her in shock…

Forgive the fuzziness…

A visit with the mouse – part 1

Our first day was at Animal Kingdom – we’ve always shrugged away from staying for any length of time there on past trips – it has been either a) too hot, b) too crowded or c)both.  We managed to fit in the finding nemo musical, which was incredibly good.  We all liked it.

Since the Glitter Glue Princess had absolutely no desire to ride the dinosaur ride, we split up to do it.

We did our standard character signatures, meeting Brer Bear, Flik and Baloo (a first for us).

This was the trip that Glitter Glue Princess began to collect two new things – pins (specifically tinkerbell pins) and her new love…. Pressed coins.  We had 5 (!!) machines in the escalator area to the monorail, and I think she got nearly every penny design they had.  51 cent souvenirs – can’t beat that!!!

Home again, home again…

This was the view I had all week from my deck at Disney….

Peaceful, yes?

Well, it was….  Until the boats left the dock and honk, honk, honked…  We were only about 15 steps to the water.  Very nice…

Now it’s time to say Goodbye….

We will see you in a week. We are off to the land of The Mouse, where the Florida days are 80 degrees. Yay! (I can’t wait to see green again!)

A Dream Job? It depends…

After being subjected to the “It’s a Small World” ride in Disney World upteen thousand times (I swear we went on that thing a minimum of 6 times a day during one of our trips), I always wondered about the person/people who made the costumes for all those little dolls.  I’d sit through the ride, wondering how the person/people designed the costumes for the repetitive motion, wondering if the costumes had gussets – you get the idea – escapism through sewing when sitting as a captive audience….

Well, I saw this article on my blog feed reader this morning.  Now I have a face to add to what I consider my dream job.  Yes, I know it is Disney Land and not Disney World, but still, it is the same kind of job I had in my mind.  But hearing how hard it is for some of the dolls to be dressed, well….  Maybe I’d prefer sewing for clients who can move their limbs a wee bit more.
