We went to Whole Foods tonight--what an exciting thing to do on a Friday night.
Anyhow, we got some dates and I stuffed them with goat cheese and heated them in the oven. OMG--so good! We have had them before at a restaurant, so I thought I'd try it. Yum! So we had that, gf mac and cheese and broccoli for dinner. We also bought some gf cupcakes, but I'm so full, we might save them for later.
So here's the next day of my trip report.
Day 3, September 3rd.
Because of all the fun we had the night before
, we slept in a bit. We were planning on going to DHS for EMH but ended up deciding to save DHS for the next day and went to MK instead. I think we got there around 10:00am
It wasn't too crowded yet, and the Halloween decorations were up!
Nancy--If you don't want to see the decorations before your trip, here's your chance to exit my trip report.

Ok, back to my trip report.
After taking a couple of pictures we headed toward the castle to see if My Fairy Godmother was there. She was, but she was getting ready to take a little break, so we did some stuff and came back later. You can see the construction over the top of the wall now. Which is good, cause Dumbo was not sounding too fun to me today.
We also shared a rootbeer float. The soft serve did not taste as good as the soft serve at AK. But I'm guessing they were probably the same.
We finally got to see My Fairy Godmother--which is what I wanted for my birthday. There was one family in front of us with 4 very cute little girls. She spent a lot of time with them, which I thought was wonderful. The dad behind us started grumbling, but we shot him down and told him how wonderful it was that she was chatting with each little girl. She had them all posing like princesses. It was so cute!
After that we did some more stuff and then had pizza at Pinochhio's Village. They had gf Amy's with real cheese. It was more expensive than regular food there and took a while to cook, but it was edible. One of the people cleaning up there gave us a hard time cause we sat down without food, but the manager told us to, rather than stand at the counter and wait. She was just not nice! But I handled it much better than I would have in the spring, so that's good.
We did some more stuff--HM, COP, Buzz LY I think, and then decided we wanted to see the parade. We got a spot in the shade and just hung out for a bit. We enjoy the parade, so it was a nice break.
We saw this stroller before the parade--it was too cute! And I had to throw in a picture of Jessie! I love Jessie!
After the parade we did the Monster Laugh thing, and I think the PeopleMover. Then we decided to check in early for dinner at The Plaza.
The chef was really nice. He told us when we were in there that they had 8 tables with allergies at them. Crazy, huh? It's not even that big a place. Mike and I both had the veggie sandwich--I had tapioca bread on mine---it was yucky bread, so I just picked out the veggies. The fries were great! The chef made us a mint chocolate chip ic sundae w/hot fudge for dessert. YUM! We also talked to this nice family beside us from England during dinner. Overall it was very nice. Not the most exciting food, but an extremely pleasant experience! We will definitely go back!
My dinner:
Pictures on the way out--notice no weight on my right foot. It was really starting to bother me.
After dinner we went to guest services and Mike had someone call the espn zone to see if the Carolina game was going to be on. Go Gamecocks! We had asked the day before when we were at BW, but the guy who answered the question seemed kind of clueness. They said they had it on. So we skipped Wishes, and headed to espn zone to watch some football! We found some other Gamecock fans and hung out with them. I was not drinking--too much fun the night before--but Mike had a couple of beers. We left at the end of the third quarter. It was pretty fun!
The bus from BW to DTD--not so fun. Even though we were one of the first people there, we did not make the first bus to dtd--too crowded. We waited at the curb with another family and almost didn't get on the second bus cause the driver stopped back further and people were rude! So the bus was PACKED and these two girls who were probably in their mid 30s got in a yelling, f bomb kind of fight on the bus! It was crazy! So crowded you couldn't move and they were right behind me yelling at each other! Longest bus ride EVER!
We finally made it to DTD and took the nice relaxing boat back to OKW. Long day, but fun! We packed a few things, Mike watched footfall highlights, and then we called it a night.
Thanks for reading!
Oh, I meant to add--see my tiny purse in the first picture, twice security had me take my wallet out so they could see the bottom! Crazy! I don't know what they thought I could squeeze in there, but I could barely get the wallet in! Needless to say, security was being taken seriously while we were there.
