The food finally arrived in a big platter, and honestly it was really good (I'm not a big breakfast eater, but I was really hungry at this point) eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits, and MICKEY waffles. As we neared the end of our breakfast we had a visit from Lilo (from Lilo and Stitch) I had only seen her in the park one time in my life so I was really excited to see her, Triston wanted to know if he asked her if she would let him braid her hair. I just laughed and was like I don't think so. After she Left Mickey Mouse made his way over to us (You gotta love Mickey) and he was decked out in his Hawaiian shirt.
Once we got the pictures, our server came by and gave us two maracas, and said we were to be in the Ohana parade. Basically all the kids and characters march around the restaurant to the song Hawaiian roller coaster ride. Triston was really into it. After we made it around the whole place once, and got back to our table I hoped out of the line and sat down, not wanting to try making it around again without walker or cane. While we waited on the check Pluto came over, and shortly after him one of my favorites Stitch! (another character i'd never had the chance to meet in person so I was stoked about seeing him! After getting the pictures we made our way back to the monorail, so we could meet the guy who was delivering my scooter. As for Ohana I thought it was quite a nice place.
While was waiting on my scooter to arrive Triston decided to go to the hospital to get himself checked out. Turns out disney has a shuttle that will take guests to a Center Care from their resort so he called and scheduled one to pick him up with the next little while. While we waited for his shuttle I tried out the scooter, and it was pretty simple in my opinion, though it did go faster than I thought that it'd be able to. Once his shuttle got here mom and I headed back to the room to get some rest before the MPS conference activities began. I uploaded some of my pictures to my laptop, and just kinda chilled for a little while.
Triston then called saying that the center care had a three hour wait and wanted to know if we would come and get him (which of course we had no objection). So our GPS was not our friend it kept sending us to the wrong location. We didn't know which center care he had been took to, and the resort told us the one they sent guests to, well we got there ok, but he wasn't there. Then we tried his location, and we still weren't there. Finally i got the address to the Applebee's right beside the center care, and as we were pulling in i saw him heading outside. He wanted to get some med so we search for a Wallgreens and found one that had a walk in clinic however, it had about an hour wait. He wanted to just get over the counter med, but i decided that i needed to rest as to not strain myself and just sat in the chair. Mom agreed and told him he helped get me from the ER the last night, and that we could wait here for him.
Finally he gave in, and we waited lol, once he went back they tested for strep throat, which came back negative, and he didn't have a fever, but they decided to put him on some antibiotics to try and help clear up all the sinus problems. Once we got his prescription filled we were on our way back to the resort. Once we got back to the room he decide to rest a little but before dinner, knowing I had planned a surprise for the evening after dinner. So mom and I let him rest, and went out to register for the conference.
Once we had signed in, and received all our info packets, and our badges we looked around a all the conference booths, we did some surveys, and talked to a couple of people. Dinner was starting earlier than expected so I headed back to the room to change, and to see if Triston wanted to sleep or eat. I chose my new custom Peter Pan tee shirt I had had made for the trip, and a long sleeve button down over it because the nights tend to get a little cool. After I got ready I was about to leave when triston woke up, and said he'd go to the dinner. There were so many MPS patients at this conference and the banquet was packed! Upon arrival the music was blasting loud (this coming from a deaf guy). the food choices were great mostly i just remember the Mickey mac and cheese.
There were some breakout meetings after the dinner but we had other plans after saying goodbye to mom, we headed over to check in to The pirates and palls firework voyage! We got a bandana, and a scavenger hunt to do while we waited for the event to start. It had clues to things you could find at the resort (you can find nearly all of them on the 4th floor of the contemporary) and they said we did it in record time. Finally the doors opened and we were ushered in to first part of the event. cotton candy, cake, ice creams, pretzels, chocolate coins were piled in the center of the room for the taking. Also in came Captain Hook, and Mr. Smee for photos. We chose to eat some treats and let the line die down for the photos. When it was our turn they were not a fan of my shirt, and refused to take a picture unless I covered it up lol. Right after we were done a nice woman came and took us ahead of everyone to the docks since with the walker they let us use the elevator.
She got us to the boat and we took our seat, we got a great seat thanks to the walker we were on the side that would be facing the magic kingdom later on. Finally the rest of our group started making their way down to the docks and loading onto the two boats (we were on the the Mr. Smee boat). Finally we were setting sail. We had a pirate captain, and he gave off some funny jokes, and had all the families introduce themselves. Soon enough we stopped and got to watch the electrical parade from the boat as all the floats were so close to us, it was truly something to see. Then as soon as it started it was over and we continued on our journey, this time parking in front of the magic kingdom, and we got waterside viewing of the Holiday fireworks show with the sound from the parks! the fireworks were awesome, even Triston loved them! The ending fireworks were awesome they were shot off from all over the park and I seriously think the best view was right where we were. Then our boat headed home. Along the way there was some pirate trivia, I won a sword from the question which land in the Magic Kingdom is the attraction Pirates of the Caribbean located? (answer is adventure land).
Finally we were pulling back into the docks when we heard something CROW! Who else but the one, the only Peter Pan!! That's right here to greet us back was Peter himself. So of course we got in line to say hello. We had an awesome Peter he was in high form tonight. I even heard him say to one girl "well get on with it girl" lol. The second he saw my shirt his eyes lit up and he was all over it, wanting to know how I had "flattened him".(Characters love to see themselves on the guests, it shows a deeper interest). We posed for some photos and he chatted back and forth with both of us, then we had to say goodbye and he told me to make sure I kept him clean, or have a girl wash it for me. Was so happy to get such a fun interaction with my favorite disney character!
On the way back to the room Triston said he was glad we went and that he was starting to feel better thanks to the med. Was really glad we didn't skip it myself, but I had told him if he wanted to rest I would have been fine with not going. Back in the room mom and David were asleep, so we got changed for bed and hit the hay. Have a full day of meetings tomorrow! Tonight was really fun.
