Day 3, We Actually Waited For and Saw A Parade!

June 6, 2012
Tony and I woke up and attended the timeshare presentation we had to make an appointment for.  If anyone has ever stayed in a timeshare, if you are at a different resort than where you own, they always want to take a "few hours of your time" for a presentation and they try to get you to purchase a timeshare.  The offer we received and could have taken advantage of was very appealing and if it was the right time, we probably would have jumped on the offer.  However, one item on the table that appeared sketchy was the "side deal" that could be used to sell your weeks and utilize those funds to take care of the maintenance fees and or/mortgage of the TimeShare.  Key words: Paypal Account, Help Me Take Care Of..., and reasonable prices to move inventory.  It seemed too good to be true and you usually know what that means...It Is!

Then we took the kids over to Epcot Center and rode some rides.  Tony took the boys to ride on Mission to Mars.  Knowing that was a tough ride and we weren't sure if Taylor was tall enough to ride, I took her and Emelia to the Character Spot so they could get pictures and meet some of the characters.  I wish we had brought our autograph books so they could also get the autographs of the characters but we figured with our PhotoPass and my own set of pictures we would have our trip very well documented.  I had purposely packed the ErgoBaby carrier with the knowledge that I would have to carry Emelia to keep her contained while waiting in lines since all of the attractions and some restaurants require that you park your strollers outside.  It definitely came in handy during our wait for the characters.

Then we ate dinner at The Garden Grill in The Land.  It was another character meal and we saw Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Chip and Dale, and Donald.  The food was really good as well.

After dinner we took advantage of the longer park hours and our Park Hopper tickets and went back to The Magic Kingdom.  I camped out in Frontierland for about an hour to save seats for The Electrical Light Parade.  Taylor had never seen it in person and was always watching Nana's video tape of the parade so this was something we wanted her to experience.  We had front row seating for it and both girls had a magical time.
