Since we got to bed so late the night before, I figured we should sleep in a tad on our 3rd (and last) day. I ended up rolling out of bed at about 7:45 and drinking coffee on the balcony. I didn't stay out there long because the kids next to us (not the 2am partiers, the other neighbors) decided to start running in and out of the room and shouting. One of the kids over there had no volume control...he was set to 11 every time he opened his mouth
Aaaaanyway, sorry I'm complaining a lot!
Ok this is going to be a text heavy post, sorry. As I was getting ready, I was looking for my orange sling bag to bring to the park. I looked everywhere in the room and it was just not there. This was when I started feeling crazy. I distinctly remember the evening before deciding NOT to bring it to the park, so it should be there, right? Wrong. As far as I remembered, nothing was in the bag, so surely no one stole it.
When we go downstairs, I figured I may as well check with the desk. The first person I asked just acted like I was out of luck and he couldn't help me. To be fair, I probably wouldn't help me either. I said "Hi, um...I can't find my bag. It was in my room, but now it's not. I really don't remember taking it out of the room, but housekeeping hasn't been in the room since I last had it, so I can't figure out what happened to it."
I asked about a lost and found just in case, and he said he didn't have access to any lost and found
. I guess since I wasn't making any move to walk away, he consulted with the other lady at the desk. I tried explaining my predicament to her, and she was more understanding. She called "downstairs" whatever that means and asked someone to check for it somewhere. That person called back and said there WAS an orange bag! So she sent someone down to get it. It was my bag!
I still have NO IDEA how it got there. The only thing I can figure is that I picked it up out of habit on the way to Hollywood Studios and then laid it down when we pin traded at Community Hall. Guys, my little pouch with all my insurance cards, debit card, etc. and $100+ in cash was in that bag, and none of it had been touched. I couldn't believe it. I've left my wallet or purse places before and it's always been plundered when I get it back...but not at Disney!
I'm kicking myself for not taking down the name of the cast member who helped me and didn't treat me like the nutso that I am. Bless her!!
So with all that sorted, I was feeling extremely pixie-dusted (or #blessed). We got to the bus stop, and I didn't even mind the 20 minute wait and jam packed bus ride to Magic Kingdom!
This was a Saturday, so of course it was mobbed.
No worries! We were still in this magical place! What do you think was the first thing sister wanted?

Alright, who guessed pretzel?!
The cast member ended up giving it to her for free, so she was pretty excited. I think it's because she had to wait a little bit for it, but that was very kind of the CM to do that, especially since sister was trying to make her money last!
We sat on a ledge over there for her to eat it. When I heard the Trolley Show starting, I asked if we could go watch. She was still eating, so she just followed me over there.
Y'all, something is wrong with me. I started getting teary-eyed watching the Trolley Show. It's one of my absolute favorite things and it really gets to me!
I was sooooo close to the performers, I was hoping they couldn't see me looking like a total goober with my eyes welled up
After that, we started walking over to Frontierland. I forgot to take notes, so I can't remember where we were heading. I think we wanted to get on Pirates first since we didn't do that during After Hours. We stopped for some pictures first.
As we were walking into Liberty Square, I noticed the Muppet show was about to start. I told sister it was pretty short and cute so she might like it. We stopped to watch. It was the same town crier as last time I was there...I love him! He's so fun.
Sister laughed at the silly parts, so I think she liked it. I absolutely adore it! I love these little gems throughout the park. I hope they keep doing this show!
