Day 3 of Our Happy Place

 I forced Todd to take these family pics right when we got in as I knew he wouldn't wait in a long line later. Again, it looks like it isn't busy in Oct but within 1/2 hour these backgrounds would be full of people.

 Since this is the day after Joshua being sick, he's giving me half-hearted smiles. But I think these are still two of the cutest kids anywhere!
 Traditional Dumbo shot. Every year we get a picture in Dumbo. It's not because I absolutely love Dumbo but once it started after a couple years, I couldn't stop. We didn't even ride Dumbo this trip but I made our way over to this one just for the pic. The first couple trips in 2004 & 2005 (at least) we all actually fit in Dumbo.

 It's THE book! We love Once Upon a Time (most of the time).
 Above, the kids are waiting for our private meet & greet we get with our Disney Visa card. Below, we got Daisy. We've rarely seen Daisy other than a parade let alone get our picture with her. These meet & greets are usually Chip & Dale, Pluto, or Stitch. In the past we've been surprised if we got Minnie or a long time ago we got both Mickey & Goofy.  You can't see who you'll get while in line but someone said it was Stitch. We know they transfer out after 1/2 hour so we were hoping Stitch's time was about up. When we saw him leave, I was happy and hoping for someone new. Then we saw Daisy walk up & I was thrilled. I'm not a huge Daisy fan but it is cool when you get someone new & hard to find.

 Our last (sniff,sniff,sigh) viewing of the Aladdin show before it goes dark as they prepare to replace it with a Frozen play. I loved Frozen but I'm not happy about this change:(

I wish I could have taken more World of Color pictures but there where quite a few huge balloons blocking many shots I could have taken in front of us. When the wind would blow a balloon out of my way, I'd snap a pic. I know IF I had ever bought balloons, I would have found a way to make it stay down during shows but some people don't think of others. Getting over bitterness now....
This fireworks picture was actually taken from our room because I did not take pictures when we watched the fireworks in the park. I have more but this was the best one.
After I posted this batch I decided to post this one when we walked in to meet Daisy. She seems enthralled with Joshua's shirt which has her boyfriend, Donald, on it riding Grizzly River Run with Mickey & Goofy. I know Hannah loves this picture so I added it for her:)
