01/17/2005 Archived Entry: "quest for pins"

We finally went to Disney yesterday. It's been more than three weeks which is a long time for us, lol. My bil went with us to do the pin quest which made Tabitha very happy. We got our trivia cards and sat down to write the answers in, some of them were a bit hard so my bil called a friend who used the internet to find the answers for us. Turns out most of the cast members at the answer locations would practically give you the answer if you didn't know it. But in the end, we got our cards stamped and each received a free collectors pin. Chris and I will give ours to Tabitha for her to use in Florida for pin trading. We also enjoyed seeing all the Mickey Statues. They were really neat. Some of them were quite inspired whereas others were rather predictable. Gee, Ben Affleck did Mickey in a Red Sox uniform, who would have thought? LOL I'm glad we got to see them all and Tabitha really thought it was a lot of fun too, I wasn't sure if she'd be interested. It was crowded, as I'd feared, but all we did was the pin quest and look at the statues. What I learned is I shall not go back without being in a wheelchair. We were planning on getting one for me for Tabitha's birthday, but that's because we'll be there all day. Turns out I'm only good for about 3 hours of solid walking right now. After that my entire body just aches, the baby sits very low in my pelvis and I get rather cranky which makes the time fun for no one. I don't think we're going before her birthday, but on the off-chance we do, I'll definitely be doing it in a seated position. One bonus to yesterday was we saw Frozone from The Incredibles. Brings our character count up to 90. My Disney Character pages are updated already.
