I think that is where I stopped reading. I remember the girl.

The food looked good.

I enjoy DTD, Biff hates it. Oh well.

How can one hate DTD Disney? All that shopping!

That is what he hates, he thinks it is an outside mall.

Yeah that bird really freaked me out.

After stowing away our groceries in the room (more like dumping them in a heap on the table) we went for a short little stroll around our area of Pop. We were debating whether we should drive the car over to the Magic Kingdom or if we should take the bus. We ultimately decided it would be safest if we took the bus because who knew what sort of state I would be in to drive by the end of the night since we will have been up for 24 hours by then.

We were in the 50's section which meant that our room was closest to the bowling pin pool.

I think that the 50's is my favourite section of Pop, the colour of the buildings and the theming appeals to me most out of all the sections.

We ran across this cute little guy

I then told Mom all about the snake thread I read on the dis and how they will sometimes fall out of trees right onto the pathways. :scared1: :lmao: Luckily we did not see a single snake the entire trip.

We walked up to the lake and admired the lovely unfinished buildings on the other side. Disney really needs to tear them down, they are an eye sore.

Then we came across Mom's year sign

After finding her sign we decided to head to the bus, we figured we would explore the rest of the resort some other day to find my year sign.

There were only a couple people in line ahead of us when we arrived but the line quickly grew, glad that we got there when we did! The family is front of us was from Quebec (we could tell from their shirts) and were speaking in French. So much for my 4 years of French in high school, I couldn't understand a word.

The bus arrived after waiting for about 15 minutes and it needed to load three wheelchairs onto the bus before the rest of us could get on. Since Mom and I were near the front of the line we were among the lucky few to grab seats.

That bus was packed! Mom did end up giving her seat up to a Mom with a young kid. Another woman was basically standing over me straddling my lap, a bit awkward to say the least. I am not one for invasion of personal space, probably why I do not like riding the buses.

Soon enough we were at the Magic Kingdom and I was very relieved to get off that bus, I felt like I couldn't breathe on it it was so crammed.

Forgetting the bus ride I was happy to be back at the Magic Kingdom!

We sailed through bag check, our tickets worked on the first go and within minutes we were inside the park. We did not have any set plans for the day other than the meet at Aloha Isle at 8pm for Dole Whips and SpectroMagic.

We wandered onto Main St and decided to explore the stores on the right hand side of the street as we only ever seem to go into the Emporium. First stop was the hat shop where I tried on some Minnie ears and Mom tried to convince me that I should get the princess ears (tall pointy princess hat with ears sticking out) No thanks! I did really like the Minnie ears so I put them on my to consider list.

Next we went into the confectionery where we saw these enormous Mickey rice krispie treats.

While in the shop we heard what sounded like parade music coming from outside. We were confused as it was 6pm and there is no parade at 6pm. Here is what we saw coming down the street:

It looked like a mini version of the 3pm parade.

ooh a parade.

great update and pics.

I always go to the last seat on the bus, this way no one will ask for it.

I love this pic

I never really thought to do that, not much bus riding experience here. Only WDW bus I had been on before this was from the WL to MK and that bus only ever had like 5 people max on it. Also never ride the bus here at home. It was a whole new experience for me, I'm definitely glad we use rental cars while in WDW.
