Alright we have made it to Wednesday morning. It's character breakfast morning, but since Amy is deathly afraid of the characters Maggie, Roger and Amy are headed to Kona Cafe while MIL, Grizzly, Tigger and I are headed to Crystal Palace. MIL has never been to a character meal, and judging by all the smiles in the pictures, she had a very good time. Tigger too enjoyed himself, but I don't have a picture of him alone with a character, but here he is looking quite happy in his Goofy Hat:
We were done eating long before all the characters got to us. I think it must have been a good 30 minutes after we were finished eating before Piglet finally made his way to our table. Tigger (our Tigger) was relatively patient and he ate a good breakfast. Just as we were finishing up our meal Amy and family were finishing up some pictures in front of the castle, and we all met up at the Jungle Cruise.
I seriously wanted to talk some sense into the family next to us on the Jungle Cruise that thought it would be a good idea to bring a screaming baby onto the boat. Now, I totally get it if your baby starts crying while on the ride, because no-one can really predict when their baby might start crying. But if the baby is crying BEFORE you even get on the ride, I really think you should have courtesy for your fellow cruise passengers and calm your baby before getting on the boat. Especially since it was early morning and there was no line for the ride. Unfortunately, the family next to me did not feel the same way, so instead of listening to lovely puns for two weeks we instead got to listen to screaming baby. Aaaargh. It was definitely ruined for me.
We next needed to use our FPs for Thunder Mountain which we did, then we proceeded to go on the ride 2 more times before heading back to Pirates. Thunder was very popular with both kids. Tigger surprised me and actually enjoyed Pirates and asked to go again. We made a quick trip to Haunted Mansion which Tigger "never wants to go on again ever ever too scary" before finally making our way over to Tom Sawyer's Island.
Well, this didn't really go over so well. There was no fun cave hunting or dinosaur discovering. On the way over Amy had a bit of an accident requiring a change of clothes. Her mother was livid as she had just asked if she needed a bathroom. Maggie was even more livid because MIL was butting into the situation when she should have stayed quiet. I loaned Amy a pair of Tigger's shorts because she didn't have any extra clothes for the day and we all waited outside the restroom in awkward silence for them to reappear. Not knowing what was going to happen (we were hearing shouts of "we're leaving right now") and needing to get Tigger back to the hotel to nap, Tigger and I took off exploring the island. My goodness my beast has gotten timid. He wouldn't go into any of the caves with me. He did, however, insist on shooting off every single gun. I sent Grizzly and MIL to the cafe to relax. After some family deliberation and lots of awkwardness Amy was allowed to explore the island for a bit too, but they never found the cool caves.
Tigger and I headed home, but on the way out I wanted to grab some popcorn. Tigger looks at the cotton candy and says "I wish we could get cotton candy, but we can't." I told him you never asked, how do you know you can't get any? So we picked up a bag of cotton candy and the beast was in heaven. Here he is at the bus stop munching his way through his bag of sugar:
That evening after napping we headed out to T-Rex Cafe. We enjoyed our dinner and then spent some time at the Lego store allowing Tigger to pick out whatever he wanted for this 5th birthday. He chose a police station. I was thrilled to find out there is a 10% discount for annual pass holders. We also let Tigger fill a cup of Legos and build some Lego minifigures. Grizzly and I instantly became obsessed with finding the best possible way to fill the cup, and returned later that evening to see if we could fill the Lego cup better than Tigger. Later that evening we also got this darling shot from the photopass person:
Up next, how to fill a lego cup, followed by a day at Epcot.
