GD and CP's Birthday Evening

[Babette]

We saw one big green firework burst from the elevator shaft of ToT, now I know why it was the only one. Sorry we missed the rest of the swankers at dinner. We did get some quality time with the birthday couple (barfyness excluded).

GD & CP rock!

So there was room for us afterall? Damn. Oh well, we had friends visiting the park that were on a 1-day pass so we were spending time with them anyway. They had never been on the matterhorn, ToT, etc....

It's always interesting to go with first timers.

Mmm, applesauce.

We had a bite of bunny too. Really good, it's hard to get rabbit that tender.

I had fried rabbit one as a kid. Tasted just like chicken. So I thought, why bother?

Then I peeked through the fince to a rabbit farm and watched them slaughter some rabbits. That did it for me.

Of course I still eat chicken, even after I saw one run around without its head.....

I didn't really eat much chicken until my great uncle had me "help" with a chicken dinner once.

I now eat chicken just about three times a week- some times more.

I'm glad we were able to make a short guest appearance. We made a bonehead move to go to the matterhorn via the castle, and were treated to our 4th viewing of the parade. By that time the matterhorn line was long. How long? Long enough that Mrs. DPR suggested we go on Space Mtn. Unheard of! As we have 3 little ones, I rarely get to talk to Mrs. DPR without being interupted every 15 seconds, so the 50 minute wait in the Space Mtn line was actually a pleasure. I learned she had never been on Space Mtn at DL, and the last time she rode Space Mtn was at WDW in 1976 (I actually had to do some fact checking to verify it was open at that time, I mean this was a year before CP was born). It sounded strange to hear her say she hadn't been on Space Mtn in 31 years, we felt old.

As we got nearer to the loading zone, Mrs DPR mentioned she was looking forward to hearing the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I guess I need to do a better job of keeping her informed in the future.

We wandered around DtD looking for a place for dinner, we ended outside at Catal. We thought we might see the group, but didn't realize you were eating on the balcony, you must have been pretty quiet. It was a fun evening out for us. Glad we could stop by and say hi.

True, but nearly an hour of that was figuring out the check!
