We went inside so the girls could get their bears signed by the CM. Of course it's a crap quality photo. The girls were impressed with all the Duffys the CMs had colored. You can sort of see them sitting behind him.
We kept moving through China.
We did see a PP and stopped to get some shots. We got some really good ones here that we'd never gotten before.
That thing Lucy is holding is a squishy elephant she bought in the shop. We have so many squishys in our house and I see more in our future. That and stuffed animals. And slime. So. Much. Slime.
Oh, I just noticed, Maura has a squishy too. SEE???
A few more shots of China before we move on.
It is really cool in there. Love the whispering.
We've never watched the movie in China before, but I think we will this year. I've heard good things.
You can see the back of that dragon we got PP with. I don't remember if that is always there or if it's just for F&G. I don't remember seeing it before, but I can't be expected to remember everything!
With that we headed out of China and over towards Germany. Of course there were more cool topiaries on the way.
I don't think this one was actually on the way to Germany, but I'm putting it here. Sue me.
And just like that, we're in Germany! Wow, that was a short trip.
There was a PP right there, so we stopped of course. If I'm paying for memory maker, I'm getting my money's worth darn it!
Okay, maybe Snow White was in Germany, because here's another one!
The trains of course!
We did get some more PP in Germany. Here's that dang squishy again. Maura's may have been relagated to the backpack at this point. She has a short attention span.
Jason=dork!
That's all I have in Germany. Sad, I know. I know the girls got their Duffys signed, but I really got no pictures here. I'm sorry. I tried.
Okay, I'm going to stop here for tonight. We'll start with Italy tomorrow and see where else we end up.
I do have some exciting news about our upcoming trip though! So for the first time ever, we're staying more than 5 days. We were going to do a week, but then when they canceled park hoppers (we're a hopping family), we decided to add an extra day so we can hit each park twice. My feet will not be speaking to me at the end of the trip, but it will be worth it. Here's the exciting news. We were booked at POR. We've stayed there before and love it. We would have been perfectly happy staying there again. We were looking forward to it actually. But, they aren't open. So, we got upgraded to .... wait for it...
BEACH CLUB!!!! For no extra charge! We have never done a deluxe because frankly, we're too poor. Our dream resort is the Poly someday. But we aren't complaining with Beach Club. The girls especially were so excited. We were supposed to have a regular room. Cool, fine, we got an upgrade, we can't complain. Then a couple weeks later we find out Beach Club regular won't be opening, just the vacation club villas. So, guess what? Yep, we're upgrade to a 1 bedroom villa!!!! OMG. We can't believe it. We'll have a full kitchen and washer and dryer! Again, no charge. We feel so lucky.
We had booked our extra day at Art of Animation because we had never stayed there. Of course they aren't opening until later now either, so we got upgraded to CBR which is awesome because that's our favorite resort! I think we're going to add 1 more day there since we have the 8 days of tickets now. Otherwise, we'd have to leave right from MK on our last day and since we drive, we wouldn't get too far.
Anyway, that's some of our plans. I'll be back tomorrow I hope!
