We sauntered into the Magic Kingdom feeling superior to all previous character hunters (has anyone else even been crazy enough to do this? Well if they had we were feeling like we clearly must be the best character hunters ever.) only to be met by this:
Goodness me! The entire park is lined up to see Pluto!!!!! We had no choice but to wait in the line that stretched from Pluto, all the way around the center garden almost back to Pluto. To give you a sense of how long this line was, Pluto needed at least 3 drinks before we got to him, plus we were able to watch one dance party parade, and think seriously about whether or not we had applied enough sunblock. (We hadn't!)
By the time we got through Pluto we were famished. While we could have pushed through, we would have gotten cranky real fast, so instead of pursuing filler characters while we waited for Chip & Dale to come out at 12:30, we instead pursued a waffle sandwich at the Sleepy Hollow.
On the way we met Penelope, the Mayor's niece. People call her Penny. We spoke to her for a while, got her autograph, and she shouted out this horrible rhyme about us that didn't actually rhyme, although she did a good job with easel and weasel, but failed miserably trying to rhyme something with Grizzly. We grabbed a picture and we were on our way to waffle heaven:
Penelope:
I had Grizzly order me a chicken waffle while I ran to the bathroom. WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Chip and Dale were out early! Our leisurely waffle turned into a waffle gobbling session, as we munched quickly so we could meet Chip and Dale and get out of there.
Chippy and Dale channeling their inner cowboy:
While waiting in line for Chip and Dale I enjoyed listening to the young couple behind us. The girl, clearly a Disney fanatic, was quizzing her slightly reluctant partner. "How do you tell which one is Chip and which one is Dale," she asked. He considered for a while, and announced with confidence, "It has to be the stripe!". Nope! And she revealed the chocolate chip secret to him.
We headed out of the Magic Kingdom right on time, and headed over to Animal Kingdom hoping to capture the fab five and anybody else we could spot. We have officially under 14 hours left. We are well fed, well hydrated, and in good spirits.
