Weds March 26We had priority seating at 8am at the Plaza Inn-Minnie & Friends Character Breakfast. You go to lines 1 & 2 to be let in (checked in). You go in when they open the gates, but you do avoid the very long lines of the general public. We made our way down to the Plaza Inn & were seated promptly. Now I have to say the food was bad & cold but the amount of characters here were huge. We saw 11 characters (with only 2 not making our table) We saw: Pooh, Eeyore, Capt Hook, Fairy Godmother, Chip, Dale, Geppetto, Max & of course Minnie. The other 2 characters running around were Rafiki & Rabbitt. The kids enjoyed themselves & will include this into next trip.
We went over to DCA to spend the day. We got our fastpasses & went to see the Muppet 3-D movie. The 2 yr old kept her glasses on for the entire movie!!. We then made our way over to the Hyperion Theater for the first showing of Aladdin. We had priority seating for this but the line was very long & they only take the first 150 people for priority seating. We wouldn't have made it. Keep in mind we are more than an hour before the show. So we got into the lines for everyone else. You stand in the hot sun forever & they let you in 10 minutes prior to showtime. They would make a bundle if they put up drink carts in the waiting area. We watched this time from the Mezzanine area. I didn't like it as much from up above because you can see the stage holes opening up & you lose some of the effects from that view. Last trip we sat on the Orchestra level & enjoyed it much better. The show is always very good & the Genie is hilarious.
Guess what ran today......... the Pixar Play Parade!! We were very excited to finally be seeing it. It runs about 15 minutes with no stops. Plan on getting wet & soapy. The bubble machines sometimes spits out big gobs of foam. The 7 year old was extremely excited during this parade & yelled AWESOME probably 100 times. So it was a hit with him.
We had dinner at the Taste Pilot's Grill. Hands down the best burger in the parks. We ate here a couple different times. We rode our fastpass rides (even getting Mike on California Screamin' this trip) & laid claim to an area for the Electrical Parade.
Really enjoyed today (except the Aladdin wait). The weather was a bit cooler which helped a lot.
