[quote="AladdinsGenie"]Ok, here's day one from my WDW trip two years ago:

Day 1 - The Magic Kingdom: Day one is kinda short because we couldn't check into our hotel (Shades of Green) until 3:00, so that took away from some of our park time. Nonetheless, I was ready to get out there! I dropped all my stuff off and ran downstairs to catch the bus. In order to get to the MK, the bus has to bring us to the ticket and transportation center so you can catch a monorail to the park. The ride total is about 30 minutes depending on when you catch the stuff. I told myself to be calm and to act normal, but when I was on the monorail and saw the shot Cinderella's castle, the little 10 year old that lives in me came out. I starting bouncing in my seat and freaking out when I saw the characters in the meet and greet square, too. I rushed off the monorail, whipped out my ticket and went into the park. I just looked around in amazement at everything around me. It was too good to be true. I was finally in Disney World and it was timed to be PWNED by me  :lol:

The first thing I wanted to do, believe it or not, was to see Mickey's Philarmagic. I found the place and fast passed my ticket. (Fast Pass is a way for people who are staying at the resort to get a time to come back and not have to wait in line like the people who are there because they live near by and are not staying at one of the park hotels.) My ticket said come back around 4:05PM and the time was 3:30PM. I didn't know what to do while I waited. Take pictures with some characters? Rides? Eat? Continue not to pee in my pants? I was lost.

I heard music coming the front of Cinderella's castle and went all the way back around to see what it was. I arrived in front of her castle when Cinderella said, "Is it OK if some of my friends come out there with you guys?" This meant the characters that were on stage were gonna come down into the audience and take pictures. I spotted Genie in the corner of my eye and saw him go on the right side of the castle and down into a room thing. I made it through the huge crowd of people (and when I say 'made it though' I mean pummel my way through :lol:) and estimated where he was going to be stopping. To my surprise, I was right. OMFG I WAS GOING TO MEET GENIE!! I was the second in line, too! I would have been first, but I found my sister who saw the entire show randomly in the crowd and she said, "Look, Shi! I think he is gonna go over there!" So this lady with a stroller, went that way and beat me...well more like cut me off so she could get there first. Bitch. I could have keeled u :lol:.

Anyways, I waited in line and kept my cool. I was planning on acting my age, act mature, take the picture and be on my way. But when it was my turn and it was nothing but space between me and Genie, I started freaking out. That maturity crap went out the window  :lol: . I started waving my arms almost like a chicken and he copied me  :lol:. The smile on my face has never been bigger. Then I gave him a big hug and we danced like old friends that haven't met in years. Greatest moment of my life. The people around starting laughing. I got my sister to take a picture (which I probably should post, but I'm too lazy to get it out :lol:). When I left, he waved bye and blew me a kiss and I did the same thing. That was so cool!!! I still gush about that to this day. OMFG I danced with Genie!! But yeah, by the end of that, it was almost time for me to see Philarmagic.

I was the first one in line for the Fast Pass line and chatted with one of the cast members there. She was super tired and wanted to go back to sleep  :lol:.  She noticed the Jasmine charm around my neck and we chatted on Aladdin and how we think he's hot. That makes so much sense, doesn't it? :lol:
But yeah Philarmagic was freaking cool. For those who don't know, it's a 3-D show that has Donald going through musical scenes from Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan and Aladdin, all the while trying to get Mickey's sorcerer hat back that he was told not to touch. I don't wanna give away the whole thing for anyone who wants to go, but it's good. Go see it. 10 times a day. kthxbye.

Now I am outside the theater in the heat again. The heat index was 101 degrees (how ironic :lol:) and I don't do well in the sun, so I needed to find something to do. I was going to stand in line to get a picture with Ariel, but line was loooong. I almost didn't realize that was the line for Ariel because she's in this little cave/grotto thing. All I saw was a bunch of people lining up behind a rock  :lol:. I took some random pictures of things and decided to go on a quest. A quest to find Aladdin, Jasmine and Jafar. I knew they were there; my sense were tingling  :lol:

I went over to the Adventure Land part of the MK. At first I was lost getting there cause there's like...3 different ways to get in, but I followed the Arabian style music that was playing from the area. It was luring me there  :lol:.  The first thing I saw coming into the area was The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. I actually didn't get on cause the line was super long. The guy running the ride said that the line was longer than usual. Probably because of all the air the ride gives you and people were trying to cool off...or there was a consipiracy to keep me off  :lol: . But across from that was the Agrabah bazaar with some Aladdin merchandise and you guys know I love Aladdin stuff! My friend Julie helped me out the last time she went to Disney by buying some of the stuff there, so there was only a few things I didn't own. My first time there (note this...first time. I go back several times during my stay. I couldn't help it  :lol: ), I ended up buying a mini lamp that has a light in the middle when you open the top. That was 5 bucks and will end up being the cheapest thing I buy this entire time. Tip for going to WDW--Have an obsessive amount of cash.

I started walking and saw a line for something. I walked a little further up and saw that it was Aladdin and Jasmine!! OMFG YAY! I rushed back the other way and stood in line for about 20 minutes. If there was ever a time to wonder if I had ADD, that would be it. You'd think I had just drunk an entire cup of coffee :lol:. About 10 minutes in, though, Jafar came out as well so I was able to meet all three at one time. SCORE! While everyone was waiting, I watched how the characters acted cause you know...it's a second instinct :lol:. They had everything down pack! From how they argue, talk, mannerisms, the holding of each other, etc. I was super impressed! The best part, though, was when Jafar made a little girl cry :lol:. He was being really mean to everyone that was there, though. This little girl walked up to him and handed him her autograph book. He snatches it away from her, signs it and gives it back. She sticks her tongue out at him and walks away. Then he quickly follows her and scares her out the little meeting area they were under. She ran from underneath the little canopy crying to her parents who were waiting on the sides. I thought it was funny as hell :lol:. He was being a total grouch to everyone, though. Even the workers that were managing the lines. Hilarious.

Oh, and this other time, this girl walks up to him with a fuzzy princess pen and he throws it on the ground refusing to write with it. His escort convinced him to, though. I can't remember for the life of me what the bribe was. I wanna say baklava :lol:. I swear, he was the best Jafar ever.

Then this one little girl was scared to go up to Aladdin and Jasmine because she thought Jafar would come and get her since she saw what happened earlier. Jasmine walked over to her, gave her a hug and told her it was OK. Then she took her hand and walked her over to Aladdin and they took an adorable picture. It was soo cute. Everyone aww'ed cause that was adorable. Genie came a little later on and made everyone laugh by teasing Jafar and throwing random objects from the ground at him like small twigs and rocks. That was hysterical :lol:. Now it's my turn to meet everyone. Once again, I told myself to be mature and calm and once again it went out the window :lol:. I became awe stuck this time. This is my session with Aladdin and Jasmine (yes, I totally wrote everything down as soon as it was over in a little notebook :lol:):

Aladdin: Well hi there, Princess! Glad you can come and meet me and my friends! My name is Aladdin. What's yours? *holds out hand for me to shake*
Me: O_O *in shock cause he sounds soooo much like Scott it was scary*......S..sh..Shiera!
Aladdin: Shiera? (OMG he said it right on the first time. No one does that!) Cool name! Have you met Jasmine?
Me: *shakes head no, still partially in shock*
Jasmine: *shakes my hand* Hi, I'm Princess Jasmine of Agrabah. Nice to meet you, Princess Shiera!
Me: *still dumb stuck, but smiling*....nice to meet you too...
Aladdin: Hey, do you have a camera? (Funny how he knows what a camera is :lol:)
Me: Uh huh *points to girl who has my camera because I was alone for most of my trip even though it was a family thing*
Aladdin: Great! Let's take a picture with our new friend, Jasmine. Everyone smile!
*takes picture* Aladdin is on my left and Jasmine is on my right. I'm in the middle of a very happy sandwich*
Jasmine: It was nice meeting you. If you are ever around, come back and see us!
Me: Oh, oh don't worry, I will!
Aladdin: Bye!
*both waves and I wave back almost running into the pole for the lines*

...OMFG!! I could have DIED! He called ME a princess! SQUEE!!! How freakin' cool was that? I stuck around to take a picture with Jafar and heard him talking to the girl that was taking my picture with them right after. He didn't call her a princess. HA! I'm special! :lol: But I was just about dumb stuck. He sounded about 80% like him voice wise. How he enunciated, emphasized his words and spoke was JUST like him. He even looked somewhat like him. The girl that took my picture was in line trying to see if he had a ring on his finger :lol:. She was like, "I don't know why, but I have this thing for Aladdin." I turned to her and said, "You too?"  and we both laughed. Aladdin fangirls of the world unite! :lol: But he was good enough for me to believe it. Jasmine was soo cool, too. She sounded sorta like her, but it was enough for me to forget how to form words in a sentence for about 5 seconds. And if she removed a rib from her side to give her some more shape, she'd look like her even more.

From that picture, I was able to take one with Jafar. When it was my turn, I happily walked skipped up to him on the side. He did something sorta like how I skipped up there and quickly stopped and shook it off to tell me not to do it again. (He couldn't talk) I guess I was being too happy :lol:. So I turned to him and gave him a big smile. He shook his head in shame and stood by me. I was this close to giving him a big hug :lol:. The guy who manages the sessions took my picture. He told him to smile and Jafar gave this ugly blank face and just stood there with his arms folded kinda like when he says the "Ecstatic" line in the movie. I started laughing my butt off. The guy was like, "Umm, let's try for a happy grin next time." He took the picture and I smiled at Jafar again right as I was about to leave. He pointed for me to leave as I waved good-bye and he hung his head in shame. It was soo funny. That whole moment was cool. It's rare to get all 4 characters in one area. I took a picture with Genie earlier, so I got out of there quicker but I still waved "hi" to him. I was still a bit dumb struck from the whole thing. Now I needed something else to do and remember the rest of the English language that I learned.

It wasn't on my original plans, but I stopped by The Enchanted Tiki Room-Under New Management. I saw Iago and Zazu on the sign and had to go in. Anything with Iago has to be hilarious. This is pretty much the Enchanted Tiki Room...with Iago in charge and you know that can't be good :lol:. I thought it was hilarious and I loved the "Friend Like Me" spoof. I won't go into detail for anyone who hasn't seen this yet either, but it's great.

After that, I went to the hotel (but not before waiting outside the room for an hour because my mom gave me the wrong key--doh!). I wanna say the time was 7 something and I was getting hungry. We called it a day early although I seriously didn't want to, but my mom said she wasn't going to let me back in if I left. I told her I could just sleep on Main Street and be a Disney hobo, but she told me "No" still. Bah!

So yep, that's day one!  :D[/quote]
