Disney Day!

Saturday was Disney Day in a big way. Julie, as I may have mentioned before, works for Disney playing Nemo in "Finding Nemo: The Musical", so she was able to get Matt, Jordan, and me each a one-day park hopper pass for free. Thanks, Julie! The four of us started the day by going to the Magic Kingdom. I was surprised how many things I'd forgotten, like the fact that you have to take either a boat or the monorail to get from the parking area to the actual entrance. Spent the first part of the day doing a lot of stuff that reminded me of trips we took when I was little, like "Snow White's Scary Adventure," the Peter Pan ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, and Space Mountain. At three we had to leave the Magic Kingdom and head to the Animal Kingdom, where Julie's show is. She left to get ready, and Jordan, Matt, and I got in line for the show, which is hugely popular. I can see why: the performers are great, the music is fun, and they use puppets for all the sea creatures, and they're all amazing. Wish I could have taken photos for you. Went to talk to Julie after the show, then we rode Everest, the newest rollercoaster there, and got ice cream before Jordan had to leave for work. Matt and I spent some time just walking around the park, which is really beautiful, and then did "It's Tough to Be a Bug," which I remember vividly from our family trip there nine years ago. Met Julie and headed over to Epcot. It was getting late, so we didn't do all that much there; Spaceship Earth, which is all re-done, and some Nemo gift shopping, where I got really cute Nemo ornaments. Then it was time for fireworks, so we each got a churro and a margarita at Mexico and watched the fireworks. We were exhausted but hadn't eaten dinner, so we stopped at Perkins on the way home. Then we totally collapsed.
