Okay, so I had slept basically all day on Tuesday and felt almost human
(with the help of an extra hot shower and a dose of Dayquil). We had another
Disneyland day lined up with Toontown Morning Madness vouchers.
We had planned to get ourselves together and walk to McDonalds ...for
breakfast this time ...heheh. Since Roxy doesn't do breakfast usually and
had done the long day with the kids the day before, she chose to get a
little more sleep. So the kids and I got a move on and made the "big walk"
through DTD and out of the park to the Mickey D's.
Breakfast was okay and a large OJ did wonders for my throat. Still I was not
quite up to par so I handed the camera to Kris as we made our way into the
park. Here's me and Bean as we made our way through security
We made our way in pretty quickly and were soon rolling past the big Mickey
Pumpkin.
The kids still weren't interested in getting their picture taken and we were
getting close to opening time in Toontown so we strolled on (Bean will LOVE
me for posting the "duh" look she has going, but oh well ...hehehe)
Bean wanted to try and pull the sword from the anvil so we strolled through
the castle and on to it. Bean went first
Then Pumpkin Girl
And Kris gave it his best too
We got back on track and walked past IaSW
And then we were up to the gates, handing over our vouchers, and in to
Toontown. Everyone was already gathering over in front of City Hall so we
found a pretty good spot and waited. It was kind of nice having Kris doing
the camera work because we got three whole pictures of me in the parks
before he handed it back!
Soon enough it was time to start the show. Here they came!
I'm sure the CM on the left is a really nice guy, but he kinda creeped me
out - lol
The emcee CM came out and got things rolling
He said his spiel and introduced Mickey
Mickey couldn't remember where his speech was
Then Goofy came up with it
Mickey started reading...
...a grocery list
LOL
The CM looks it over to verify
Oh noooo!
So Mickey decided to wing it
Great speech and then he introduced the Toontown Honorary Family
There they are - happy happy
After that they wrapped it up and handed out our Toontown Citizens buttons
and scavenger hunt info and we were on our way ...straight into the gift
shop because it has started to rain harder than just a drizzle.
We then started making the rounds. First stop - JAIL!
Pumpkin Girl proved how strong she was
Kris was just taking it all in
Ye ole Roger Rabbit fountain
And on into Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin! Toontown street under construction
Baby Huey and his stogie
THE DIIIPPPP!!!!!
Jessica's dressing room
Kyra and I jumped in one car and Kris and Bean got in the other.
Watch out Roger!
Kris and Bean were having fun
The Doctor's mad experiments
Hang on Roger!
Yowsa!
Still trying to figure how the hanging pink elephant fit in with the whole
thing
Darn those weasels!
Thanks Roger ;-]
Kris took a quick rest
Bean and Pumpkin Girl had to give it a try too
We strolled back up towards the houses and they took turns sitting in
Mickey's car
What do you wish for?
The line was long to go into Minnie's house and non-existent for Mickey's. I
said I would wait in the line for Minnie's while they went through Mickey's
house. But little did they know that Mickey was waiting for them somewhere
back in there ...hehehe.
Well we left off with Pumpkin Girl, Bean, and Kris walking through Mickey's
house. Here are some of the shots they captured on their way through:
Pluto's Dog Door
Happy Radio
Any messages for me?
Kris and bean jammed on the piano
Bean warms herself by the fire
Kyra takes a seat
Bean snuggles into Pluto's dog bed
Mickey's cleaning supplies
A note from Mickey
Out into the "yard" we find Pluto's doghouse
Bean hugging a birthday cake and looking distracted
Chickens?
Painting in progress
Bean on a crazy pipe organ
Cartoons while you wait
Bean makes it to Mickey, who plays Peek-a-Boo with the camera. I swear, she
brings out the silliness with the characters
Pumpkin Girl's turn with Mickey
While they were inside I got a call from Roxy saying she was in the park and
heading our way. The kids were still in Mickey's when Roxy showed up, so the
two of us were just hanging out in Mickey's house when Pluto and Goofy came
strolling in!
We texted the kids to let them know and then Roxy took a shot of me with
Goofy
Then the kids caught up with us so it was their turn
Then it was on around the corner to Pluto!
Bean was first up
That's it for this installment - I'll pick up with more fun on the next page
:D
