Glad you were able to spend a lazy afternoon with Nate.My kids play guitar hero at home. They have all the instruments. They let me play sometimes but always make me the singer.I can't carry a tune but I can keep the beat.I miss RC, we had a lot of good times there. Ok I'm ready and waiting for more. :)PSS... Um Doodles... That's not Guitar Hero... Thats Rock Band. Don't worry I won't tell anyone that you might not be up on the hip stuff. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stefa70 205 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Have you ever heard the saying "He who dies with the most toys, wins?" My boys love their toys and they decided to break them out while we had some down time.Nathen has 4 RC vehicles. 2 electric and 2 gas. The gas ones are extremely loud, so they didn't make the trip, but he brought the 2 electric ones for him and Dad to play with.They started out in the road, but like any good rednecks, they wanted to kick donuts (or shitties as they call them) in some dirt.So they found an empty site.This is what happens when you go off-roadThey were having fun, but not as much as they could in the sand....Sometimes you just can't drive out of it.Hey, what can I say! It doesn't take much to entertain them either.I got some pics around the area while they took their trucks to the garage.I then went back to feed Mason and we decided we would just grab a bite to eat at Magic Kingdom. With Masons belly full, we left for the boat launch.Here comes our boat!We arrive at MK, and I get all warm and fuzzy over the decorations. (Don't worry, it didn't last long)Our favorite counter service in MK is Cosmic Rays. You can get so many different things in one place, and the view is fantastic.We all decided on burgers.How can you beat the view of the castle, even if it's seen through a yucca tree. Kind of artsy, huh?By the time we were done eating, the castle was changing colors.Here are the boys on what I like to call "tobacco road." Trevor is hiding a cig behind his back and Nathen has a pinch of dip in his lip. We made the circle around through tomorrow land, it was starting to get dark and we wanted to find a seat for the electrical parade.We found a tiny spot on the sidewalk and plopped down. We aren't normally parade people, as I have the patience of a two year old, and rude people make me want to kill someone. You parade fans know that there are long waits, and tons of rude people when waiting for a parade. But, I sucked it up!What I didn't realize was that we were getting a two-fer. That's 2 parades in one sitting.Hasn't everyone seen enough parade pictures? Well, too bad because I took some too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 You know what the parade is good for -us crazy people with young kids who decided to do extra magic hours and stay the entire day until fireworks (pre-fort discovery trip). It allows us to rest our poor feet.Now... waiting for those pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SCTigerCock 171 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 takes one to know oneSo I've heard. In fact I think I read that somewhere before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 The Move It! Shake it! Celebrate it! parade was up first.The only good thing about this parade is what you might miss the first time by, you will see it when it comes back in the other direction. I guess technically, I should have called it a three-fer.Not long after that parade was over, they lit the castle. I honestly thought some people were going to have a complete melt down. It was so chaotic, I only took one picture. People were pushing and shoving, standing in front of me, and stopping dead center in the street to take pictures and gawk. I surely wasn't leaving my tiny hole in the sidewalk to get closer, so one lit up castle pic is all I got. It is beautiful to see though.With my blood pressure skyrocketing, my bones cold, and my ass completely numb, I prayed it wouldn't be much longer til the electrical parade started.Then this CM and her cart showed up.Nate couldn't resist! $5.00 cocoa with a souvenir mug. It was good cocoa too, and lifted my mood. (for about 5 minutes) I will now give you a breather in between parades. Try to contain your excitement, please.I would also like to add that while WDW can bring out the best in some people, it turns some people into inconsiderate monsters!The pushing, shoving, screaming kids, screaming parents and just general thoughtless people reminded me of why I don't normally put myself in that situation.I did enjoy the electrical parade though, and I will share that with you in the next update.

Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks for the updates! The Move It Shake it blah blah blah parade is known as the "Shake and Bake" parade to me. It's easier to remember. I also think it's better than the 3:00 parade, but that's just my opinion. Great updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 There is only two places I will wait for a parade at MK. The first one is during a meal seating at Tony's on the porch. I will sometimes wait for the late electrical parade over in Frontierland at the corner of Pecos Bills right as the parade goes backstage. That is ONLY if they have two parades with a fireworks in between. Most folks leave after the fireworks. Waiting on the second parade is not that bad then.Oh, and backing up a post or two. I LOVED seeing your guys play with their RC cars. I can't get my parents to come to Disney with me because they go on vacations to places where daddy can enter RC car races, and model airplane contests. I grew up watching daddy play with his toys!!!

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I hate parade people. You're right...they can get so downright rude. Just when you think you have a spot, that you've staked out for an hour, they come along when the parade begins and push their kids right in front of you. I need to start bringing a taser to parades. You step in front of me, I'll tase you, bro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
