'Ello gang! Greetings from sunny Florida!
Disembarked the cruise on Thursday and we've been hanging out in Melbourne, Florida ever since. I had an amazingly fantastic time on the cruise, it was SO MUCH FUN!
I got to see Donald, Chip and Dale, Goofy, Pluto, Captain Jack Sparrow, the actual Flying Dutchman ship used in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, and a whole lot more! My brother and I even won a Disney trivia competition (we both got hats that say "WINNER"
). We head home tomorrow (our flight's at 6:00 pm) and we needed something to do near Orlando, and we just happened to have extra tickets for the Walt Disney World parks... so... we're going to attempt to traverse the possibly immense crowd sizes at Disney's Hollywood Studios (still getting used to the new name). Which meeeeeeeeeeeans... Muppet*Vision 3D for meeeeeeeeee! Woot! Which also means even MORE Muppet junk to clutter my room with!
And speaking of Muppet junk! Before our cruise we stopped by Downtown Disney (the shopping area) and I did my Muppet scouting. And I'm proud to report that Kermit was on the box of the new Monopoly Disney Theme Parks Edition. Oddly enough, however, Muppet*Vision was NOT one of the purchasable (is that a word?) properties in the game, but still, very exciting! And possibly the most exciting things, on the new 2008 Hollywood Studios postcard, of the three attractions featured, Muppet*Vision was one of them (along with the Extreme Stunt Show and the Hollywood Tower of Terror)! It had Kermit and Animal and Rizzo dressed as Mickey Mouse, too funny. Also, on this rather large Disney World postcard featuring an extreme amount of Disney characters, who should be on the right side, full figure? Our very own Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy of course! It was a treat to see them there, let me tell you! I was also able to find the Kermit with Mickey Mouse ears pin to add to my collection.
I'll report back tomorrow (hopefully) with details on Muppet merchandise in the Muppet*Vision store, and hopefully I won't be disappointed. I have loads of great pictures to share when I get back to my own computer! I miss you guys a ton, but I think this week away from MC, school, and other stresses was very good for me. But I think I'm ready to get back. (And no, it's not just because I really, really want to buy Super Smash Bros. Brawl for my Wii...)
Take care everyone! Pray that there aren't many people at the Studios tomorrow! Hehe. See you real soon! (Sheesh, I've been around Mickey too long...)
Prawn out!
