[b]We walked in the room and I was first taken by how beautiful the room was. Then I pulled back the curtains and stepped outside to see the lagoon, then I heard the music coming from the MK, and then I saw the castle, all lit up and changing colors to go with the music. I just started crying and gave him the biggest hug and kept saying "thank you thank you thank you" over and over again. I will never, ever, forget that feeling, at that moment, listening to the music, seeing the electrical water pageant parade, and seeing the castle. It was truly a dream come true!

Our day 2 began bright and early Monday morning. Our plans for the day revolved around the MK. We wanted to make the opening of the park so we decided to have breakfast at the GF cafe. DH enjoyed some biscuits and gravy and I had some variety pastry dish. Very . While we were eating the parasol parade went right by our window. I was so excited that we got to see it b/c I had read about it before our trip. Once we had finished our yummy breakfast we headed over to hop on the monorail. It was such a beautiful day. I remember that feeling of walking from our room to the cafe to the monorail in the sunshine. 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.

We pulled up to the MK with perfect timing. We walked up and got in line not too far back from the turnstiles. The music started and the train full of characters pulled up. All of a sudden I transformed from a 23 year old woman to a 5 year old girl filled with excitement b/c I had caught my first glimpse of Mickey. DH still teases me b/c I had tears (but c'mon, who didn't get emotional the first time they saw that?? Or each time ) We walked in and on to Main Street and it was just all so overwhelming. All planning I had done went right out of my brain and I was like "What do we do? Where do we go?" We came across some characters and had our picture made with King Louie. I remember saying to Andy (and it's on video) "Man if they had a Stitch I'd hang out with him all day!" Little did I know....

We headed over to Fantasyland when my first MK ride was the Mad Hatter Tea Party. After some spinning we went and rode Peter Pan. DH remembered a lot of it from when he was a kid. Then we decided to go and wait out Space Mountain. I think we were on the hillier side b/c there was a lot of up and down! After the ride we toured through Mickey's Toontown Fair and met Minnie. Then we went through Mickey's house and finally met the big cheese himself! We decided to continue the character theme onto meeting Chip and Dale. By now it was getting close to our PS at the Crystal Palace. We made our way over there and had about a 5 or 10 min. wait as people were finishing up breakfast (talk about a late breakfast!). DH &amp; I both really enjoyed the buffet here. The characters made their way around (on a side note Pooh is one of DH's favorite characters so this made for a cute photo!). Poor Tigger was bouncing around near us and some kid took a step right in front of him. In order to avoid the kid, he tripped and did a nose dive right in front of everyone. I must say, I felt bad for the guy, but it was hilarious!

After our scrumptous meal we headed out to Adventureland. We came across Timon and Rafiki. After having our picture made with them Timon thought it would be funny to pull my Minnie ears off my head! It made for a good laugh! From here we made our way to the POTC. DH really enjoyed this ride (another one he remembered from childhood). By now it was getting close to the time for the parade. So we headed out towards Main Street, when all of a sudden DH stops me and says "look, look over there!" There he was, in all his blue, glorious wonder, my guy Stitch! I flipped! Unfortunately they cut the line off before we could get to him. But we got to see him perform on the castle forecourt stage. DH promised me we'd find him after the parade. But we had a 5ish PS at 1900 Park Fare, and we had to clean up first, and the parade started at 3... Would we have time??? Could we do it??? To be cont....














This picture always makes me laugh b/c they both seem to have the same posture and expression






And another one that makes me laugh
