Character Palooza!?!?

I'm not sure how it happened but I didn't leave until 1:30 today. I woke up at like 9 so I have no clue what the heck I was doing for so long. While I was back at the apartment I found out about this thing called "Character Palooza" I guess it is this big rush of characters from Fantasmic in one area for a short period of time so naturally I wanted to check it out, it all depends on when the first showing of Fantasmic is so since it was at 8:30 they were supposed to have it twice once at 4:50 on the Streets of America and again at 5:20 by Echo Lake, each group having dofferent characters, so I headed for Hollywood Studios.

When I go there I bought pins. Then I walked the Streets of America where the characters are supposed to be, nothing. So, I checked the Animation Building the other place where it was rumored to occur, nothing. So, I got a Fastpass to keep for Rockin Roller Coaster and since it was only a twenty minute wait I went on.

I made my rounds again hitting both the Streets of America and the Animation building, again nothing. So I got ice cream and made the rounds again. Just as I was about to park it by Echo Lake and give up, I saw a group of people across the lake, so I headed over to check it out.

I was so happy cause I had found it!!! Character Palooza! It was great, so many characters and very few people waiting because it is not in the times guide, you just have to know about it. Lets see there was Stitch, Chip and Dale, Mary Poppins, Pocahontas, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Green Army Men from Toy Story and Mulan. I only got my picture with Captain Hook and Mr. Smee because those are the only two I hadn't seen before. If you like to get your pictures with the characters then you have to try this!!! It was pretty cool.

After that I rode Tower of Terror twice and got a Fastpass to keep. Then I rode Rockin Roller Coaster again and then I headed to Epcot. I got a Fastpass for Mission Space and naturally because I got it to keep I usually ride that ride. So, I rode the green side of Mission Space, it wasn't bad at all, I'm still heaitant to ride the orange side though. Then I rode Test Track and headed to Target.

I got a few things and then grabbed dinner at Panda Express and I headed back to the apartment. Naturally there was some party going on so I just went to my room, ate and watched an episode of Glee. Then I crashed. All in all I'd say it was a pretty successful day.
