Well we found a good spot to watch the parade. We were seated up near the entrance to the MK. The parade was great! I really enjoyed it and got some cool pictures. But of course the whole time I was wondering about meeting Stitch. We checked the times guide and it said the characters would be back out in front of the castle at 4:00 so after the parade we headed back down Main Street. We guessed where his line would be and waited and waited and waited. And finally out came the characters! I was so happy to be getting a picture with my pal!! I made DH turn the automatic replay off on the camera so he could take a bunch of pictures at one time I know I'm crazy!

So after succeeding in my mission we headed out of the park and back to the GF. We had to hurriedly get ready for dinner. Dinner at 1900 Park Fare was very good. I really enjoyed the strawberry soup. Perla and Sue came around quite a bit to visit and seemed to hang on DH a lot. So of course I got a kick out of that. The Cinderella came around and I asked DH if he wanted his picture with her and he, jokingly I think, said he was nervous to meet Cinderella After that we got to meet Prince Charming. I rather enjoyed standing with a prince!

After dinner we had plans to go back to MK for Spectro. I forgot my jacket in the room and I knew I might need it after dark so DH ran back to the room to get it. I thought I'd wait out by the pool b/c I would be able to see him come out of our building. But I never did. Now I did tell him I was going to look around for a bathing suit (I had forgotten mine and needed one for Discovery Cove in a few days). After looking for awhile is when I went outside. Well apparently he went another way and I didn't see him. So we spent 10 minutes wandering around trying to find each other. Now I'm the kind of person who gets panicky when I can't find someone and I couldn't figure out what I should do. Go back to the room, which I did and he wasn't there, walk around the shops again, I did and he wasn't there, then I happened to look up in the lobby right above the piano and there he was videoing some of the lobby. He was obviously as concerned as me!

After this little mishap we took the monorail over to MK and went in to find a good spot for Spectro. It was cool to see all of the park lit up at night. Spectro was awesome! I think I liked it better than the parade earlier in the day. After Spectro we decided it would be romantic to hop the boat back to the GF and watch the fireworks from the water. So we did. The fireworks were still going off once we reached the dock so we got off the boat and sat on the dock to finish watching. It was a great show!

After the fireworks we walked back to our room to relax a little. DH was in the bathroom and I went out on the balcony to watch the water pageant parade. I stepped back in the room and noticed something on the table. It was a bottle of champagne and 2 glasses. We had been in the room for 10 or 15 minutes and nobody noticed this! I went to the bathroom door and knocked and asked DH "How observant are you?" he didn't understand. So when he came out I asked him again "How observant are you? Look around." Then he spotted it. Room service had left us this nice treat with a little note congratulating us on our honeymoon. It was so sweet! So we enjoyed our champagne while sitting out on the balcony.

After a long day it was time for bed... Tomorrow we had plans to visit MGM and an early breakfast at Ohana!


The sun was VERY bright!








This has got to be one of my favorite photos. I can't believe the color in this picture!

We hopped right on the monorail and I remember commenting to DH we'd have to learn the Spanish part "Por favor....etc" If I could spell it I would type it . And thus the monorail obsession began.

You mean . . . "Por favor mantenganse alejado de las puertas." (Which actually translates to "Please they are maintained far away of the doors." in english!!! )

Some of those pictures are cracking me up . . . and the story about Tigger falling, too!!! (Am I going to Hades for thinking that it was hilarious that he ate pavement, or what!?)

I've gotta tell you . . . I am really not all that romantical-like, but I am doing an awful lot of "Awwwwww! That's so sweet!!!" stuff here!!!

Good stuff . . . bring on the next day!!!

I am loving this report Melissa - especially the way you first found Stitch. I loved the fact that you got Andy to take so many photos of you. It sounds like the first time I met Eeyore on our honeymoon.

More please!
