STS-133-6
It has been raining here in the Magic Kingdom for the last hour and a half. We rode Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain in the rain thus becoming, somehow, even more wet. Now we are sitting under a covered sidewalk by a gift store drying out a bit and seeing if the sky will relent.
Update: got a poncho and soldiered bravely on. Stopped in to see the Haunted Mansion and accidentally crammed three adults into a two person car. That would have been tolerable had the ride not broken down half way through. After five minutes or so we were released from the “Doom Carriage” and walked out along the ride path. It was actually pretty cool. Not exactly Behind The Scenes but still interesting to see the ghosts and other effects in full lighting.

STS-133-5
Uploaded some pictures last night but haven’t managed to get the links to the organized yet and I can’t copy image locations with the phone either. We’re back with the mouse again today. Eileen also knows someone who works here so they’re going to let us in and then she and Wes are going to Animal Kingdom and I’m going to the Magic Kingdom. Finishing early today and then on the bus at 05:15 tomorrow morning to go to Kennedy.

STS-133-4
The lines have not been bad but it’s too hot for November 1st. Half of the children have Kim Possible mission communicator phones so everywhere you go you hear the little song chirping. The Spaceship Earth ride is nice and the mission to Mars thing made me nauseous but it’s basically a people centrifuge so that’s not surprising. The thing that has surprised me the most is that the “cast members” in the World Showcase are actually from the countries they work in in the park. I bought a snack from a completely disinterested French girl and was welcomed to the Japan gift shop with an authentic irasshaimase. I have some pictures to upload tonight so more then.
