AbominableSnowman1's 1-28-07 Mice Chat 2nd Aniversary Trip Report

[Abominable Snowman]

Meet #5

I had been waiting for this day for almost a month and I couldn’t believe that it was already here, the 2 Year Anniversary of Mice Chat

I couldn’t wait to get out of the house because my little sister just got a High School Musical game, much like Scene It!, and one can only listen to “Get Your Head in the Game” so many times

Call me crazy but I was up at 7:00 a.m. the day of the big meet and was out of my house by 7:45

The only good thing about being out early, the road was mine (and the guys in the other car next to me)


On the way up, I noticed Elmo was towering over the Discovery Science Center (I have no idea what Elmo and science have to do with each other)


I was parked on the Chip and Dale level of the parking structure in the far back corner which wasn’t a good place to be parked when running late

I power walked to the tram loading station and saw all of the sleeping trams on the way



I was worried I was going to be late and our grandma tram driver didn’t help me much

Luckily I entered the picnic area with plenty of time to spare


I was greeted by a pretty large group of Mice Chatters that sounded like they hadn’t had too much sleep and maybe had too good of a night the night before




I was also handed a bag of delicious chocolate chip cookies and 2 candy hearts that were provided by MickeyMaxx and Rixter (Thanks a lot you guys)

It was time to go!






Sir Clinksalot and Fishbulb took everybody’s AP to get FP’s for Space while everybody else went to breakfast


Sam and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to ROCK THE UNIVERSE

Here are a couple pics I took along the way…

Still painting poles


Hi Chip or Dale!




I am actually quite fond of the new lamp décor




I really like this picture for some reason


FP’s were collected, Sir Clinks and Fishy went to the Riverbelle Terrace and Sam and I waited for Hollywood1939


A planter wall needs some TLC in the Space queue


One gardener went a little crazy with the clippers and hacked off half of the cone!


Ladies and Gentlemen, the queue is clean!


I found a great way to get pictures inside of the loading area, use the hand rail as your tri-pod! (PM me if you want this image in a desktop size)




Fishy tried this shot last week so I figured I would try it (ehh)


We definitely rocked the universe


I was starving so I decided to go meet up with everybody at Riverbelle while Hollywood and Sam went their own way

No wait at all! For anything!


Yummy…


As luck would have it, I arrived just as everybody was leaving to take a trip around the Magic Kingdom

[Abominable Snowman]

I finished eating my delicious eggs, sausage, biscuit, and county potato breakfast with orange juice (of course) and walked over to the Tomorrowland station to join the group there





I think he ate too much





I could definitely tell this guy was cold (Does anybody get the joke?)





Disneyland is back to the way it should be





Mmm, orange juice





I guess every child was going to be picked for the Jedi Training Academy starting in 5 min.





I think I can, I think I can





Are these dinosaurs supposed to have arms and wings?





Global Warming=No water





We arrived at the Main Street Station and saw the Marching Band





I think the population needs to be updated





The Burger King is everywhere!





We still had about 30 minutes until our Mark Twain trip so we chose BTMRR









Party of 40 please





Goat trick!









After filling about a train and a half, it was time to ride the Mark Twain













Excuse me sir, that is for emergencies only





Hi Darkbeer!









Good ol’ Fishy

















The rest of the DMCA awaited us at the exit after they had their own breakfast (probably Bloody Mary’s and Advil)









After saying hello to all of the DMCA, we headed over to the hub for the meet!













The always entertaining and camera shy Minion Lumbo









I love his fake username (CastleTarpFan1)





Hi Sam









Speech!





I finally got myself some Converse but there was no room for my foot





“Keep it Disney people”





CrazyLegs making her way to the front on the picture





Fishy tries to be a cheerleader





We were all handed Photo Pass cards which are very convenient which allows you to redeem your pictures up to a month from the day they were taken



It was time for us to take some pictures of our own:





Thank you for walking as slow as you could through our picture













After taking pictures, we enjoyed lunch at the Plaza Inn





After lunch, everybody dispersed and did whatever they wanted to do (I took pictures)



After seeing them for myself, I don’t hate them as much but I still think they are tacky

















After taking a couple pictures, I headed over to the Golden Horseshoe





PrincessButtercup passes out Nerds





Audience full of Mice Chatters

[elly]

oh no, is it just me...or all the pix broken?

[Abominable Snowman]

The Parade of Dreams was next on our schedule (on our way over, MinionLumbo and I saw a middle-aged guy wearing a shirt with a GINORMOUS marijuana leaf on a tyedye shirt walking around with about four kids… the things you see at Disneyland)



I am sorry to anybody who went looking for the Sword in the Stone soundboard from my directions. It is actually on top of the Snow White building (I think they got rid of the umbrella after we posted about how odd and out of place it looked)





The Parade of Dreams:





The same super happy spoon as last week









I love watching these guys during the parade stop





And some showgirls straight from Vegas









I always like the smirk this guy has





Ursela was looking even worse and dirtier than last week





Here is a close-up of her neck (its basically all brown)





Make way for your Queen!









Crazy stoned caterpillar

















“Someday my prince will come” is right. Still no princes





Fishbulb pointed out that their was some human fecal matter behind one of the tower thingys



MinionLumbo and I told a CM what the problem was so they and called someone in (it took about 10-15 minutes)





It was time for a break so we took a seat down at the Fantasia Gardens and Dusty busted out the Pocky!



MissChristine was our guinea pig to figure out what flavor this Pocky was (we think it was a mixture of peach and orange)









Dusty said that we should make the Fantasia Gardens into an actual Mice Chat Lounge complete with flat screen TV and couch’s









MissChristine, Hector, and I went on the Teacups while waiting for Frecky’s lovely children to get off of the Matterhorn



We found another colorful jacket while waiting













MissChristine got some sweet action shots of us that she will hopefully post later



After our group was back together, we decided to head over to the Stage Door Café for some delicious fried food





After dinner, it was time for our next meet:





Hey I know her!









It was actually my first time seeing the show! Fun facts but I already knew most of them



Happy Birthday!





After an extra large picture in the exiting hall, we were off to Pirates and Haunted Mansion (we actually gave both rides wait times!)









Dusty and Hector got soaked













It was so funny, we all were stuffed into a single elevator where the WHOLE spiel was recited by EVERYBODY! Sadako took a video that she will hopefully post later



All projections are fixed except for the Madame Leota







Wow, what a day. I had so much fun and I cannot wait until next year.



I want to send out a special Thank You to all Mice Chatters, Administrators, Moderators, and especially DustySage and Al Lutz for making everything possible and so much fun



Quote of the Day:



Sam: Mmm, this is some good Pocky!

MissChristine: What kind is it?

Sam: It is really, really good. You probably wouldn’t like it
