Our flight home today was good, very uneventful and easy. Very early, though. We were up at 3:00am and on the road by 3:30. Luckily Dan and Marcia’s place is only an hour or so away from the airport. There was also very little as far as traffic on the road. I ran into one little snag with the rental car. I stopped and filled it up but the gas gauge did not register it as full or rather, it took a long time to have the gauge move to show that it was full. So I pulled back into the gas station until it showed full. Then we got that returned, got through security and got ourselves some breakfast and waited for the flight. We were able to get seats together and it was a smooth flight. We were home before noontime. Now it was time to catch up on sleep.

But before bed I did enjoy one of the candy bars that we picked up at that Giant Candy store. This is a Bar None and I do not think I’ve ever had one before. Pretty tasty.

Also, since we got home early enough I did go over to rehearsal for The People vs. Frankenstein tonight, it was my first rehearsal with the cast. It went well.

Magical Wedding Weekend Finale …

For our final day at Disney we went to The Magic Kingdom. Most of the family was going there and were going to take photos with the bride and groom near the castle but we did not end up doing that. We did, however go to The Haunted Mansion. Eva really wanted to go to that attraction. We also did It’s A Small World and several others. One of the attractions we went on was the Laugh Factory Floor which was a Monsters Inc themed attraction and I got singled out as “that guy”. Every time there was a punchline of a joke they’d put me on screen and say That Guy. It was pretty funny and the kids loved it.they were laughing like crazy. At the end of the show I was given a sticker that said, “I was That Guy at the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor”. So that was fun.

We caught up with The bride and groom at the end of the day and had lunch with them. Then we got a bus back tot he hotel and headed back to Dan and Marcia’s.

While we were in the park we found more shoulder pals for Andy. Andy wanted the Kronk angel and devil two pack of shoulder buddies. And then Andy had 3 shoulder buddies on their person.

I enjoyed the Magic Kingdom as a park best of all because it felt like things moved quicker and the attractions were more spread out. We even got to go on The Pirates of the Caribbean, The Enchanted Tiki room and Buzz Lightyear’s video game ride where I ended up maxing out the score, that must have been a glitch. It was a nice day with the family.
