Since tribdog was miffed to not see pictures with people in them, here's one of Zz in front of the Christmas tree at the entrance to Animal Kingdom, where we spent the morning (we then spent the afternoon and night at the Magic Kingdom).

He's the one with the red backpack.
But, since I just got in from a very full day, I think I'll be turning in early rather than taking time to upload more pictures. Sorry tribdog, I don't have the pictures of myself. Though, we did get one with Chip (of Chip and Dale) helping me hold up the giant Chip and Dale lanyard medallion I now own...Chip and Dale were at ZZ's birthday party tonight (they kept trying to steal the cake), as were Minnie (such a sweetheart, but Mickey better keep his eyes on her...I saw her getting pretty close to the men there), Goofy (kept sneaking up on folks...hah hah), and Pluto, who gave me a big, wet, doggy kiss!
We had a great day. Our only mistake was we sat too close to the castle for the fireworks (we didn't know you could sit too close...I'm going to have to talk to Zz about calculating those projectile motion equations again and determining the angle between the place the fireworks explode and the top of the castle for optimal viewing distance
)...we discovered that if you sit too close to Cinderella's Castle, the fireworks aren't shot up high enough to see all of them, so the castle blocked our view of a lot of them. Oh well...we've since learned.
Astronuc, you wouldn't believe the shopping Zz can do!
He's a pin maniac! Though, I guess that isn't anything anyone here didn't know already. I had fun doing a little pin trading today...I got some inexpensive starter pins and have been hornswaggling cast members out of the coveted cast member pins in exchange for the inexpensive ones. Next I'll be sending Zz the link to the eBay auction...
Actually, the troublesome part is that once I've traded up and gotten such nice ones, I want to keep them!
I'm also on the lookout for Chip and Dale pins to trade for...every one of them I see is just too cute, so I'm hoping maybe I'll find some that I can trade for rather than blowing my whole budget on buying them. (Yes, I've always been a sucker for Chip and Dale, and it takes every ounce of self-control to not buy everything with Chip and Dale on it...that's only made harder with Zz around pointing out everything with Chip and Dale on it to me
).
Anyway, it's been a very long day, so I'm off to sleep soon.
:!) :!) :!) Now, how can anyone go wrong with a hotel that has a chocolate carousel in the lobby? I just wish they'd tell me when we get to eat it.
