- Late start today, as the Birthday Girl was up late, slept in. Watched animals from balcony instead. Now, off to the Magic Kingdom! #wdw #
- Taking a pool as to what time the Official Deluge starts at #wdw today. I claim 4:47 EDT. #
- Celebration Parade at #wdw Magic Kingdom a big hit with 9-year-old birthday girl. Lunch at Pecos Bill – grilled onions, mushrooms FTW. #
- Eek – got stuck onm Splash Mtn for about 20 minutes just below crest of big dropped. Comped a park-wide FP. Nice. #wdw #
- Haven’t been on #wdw Tom Sawyer Island in a decade or two. Fun to do with Kitten at 9. No lines, either. #
- Katherine is on a Goofy kick. God help us. #wdw #
- Sprinkled just enough to raise hunidity to 100%. At least a bit overcast. #wdw #
- And today’s #wdw Deluge Pool winner is 5:15p. Good time to queue 45 min. for Disney Faeries. #
- Katherine’s loved Goofy’s Barnstormer as log as she can remember. Was surprised this time how short it was. #wdw #
- Post-rain, #wdw MK crowds are diminished but still plentiful. Temps are down nicely, though. #
- Wow. When did the #wdw Haunted Mansion get a make-over? Doombuggy sound system was dodgy, but a number of new visual fx on ride. Nice. #
- Pirates at #wdw just not as good as at Anaheim. Capn Jack overlay doesn’t really help the truncated, messy remix. Still fun, & 5 min wait. #
- It is a tribute to stand-up comedy and tradition that the #wdw Jungle Cruise has a 20 pinute line at 8:20pm. #
- Magic Kingsom fireworks at #wdw. Very pretty, worth watching. #
- It’s the Night of a Million Zillion Last Second Exiting-from-the-Park Shoppers Magic Kingdom #wdw Shoppers! (Us, too.) #
- Just over 8 miles walking around #wdw Magic Kingdom today. Bus back to DAKL, quick (yummy somewhat-ethnic) bite to eat at Mara, and to bed! #

Goofy Phase? As in the Character?
Yes. She decided she was “collecting” Goofy.
She also decided that anything “cute” in the way of clothing was out. Dark, somber, gothy, and/or boy-like clothes were in. Which was irksome on one level, but (in seeing all the trendy princessoids coming out of the Boppity Boo shops, also something of a relief).
Always bet on 2:00 for the afternoon shower to begin. . .it’s traditional!
First few days we were there, it was around 5 or 6 pm. It kept getting progressively earlier over the course of the week.
