Day 2 at Disney - Invasion of the Mainlanders!

On Friday, Eesn woke up bright and early and ready to start the day!! We ate breakfast at Chef Mickey's in our hotel, which is the kids favorite restaurant there! We thought Eens had forgotten about the night before, but on our way to catch the bus, he started asking questions like, "what time does it get dark?", "when do the ghosts come out?", and then he decided that we should leave the park before dark!!The kids carried on getting pressed pennies to fill their books that they got this summer at Disney World!Danny thinks the castle is tiny!!Eens was much braver during the daylight hours!! As soon as we ate lunch though, he kept asking if it was 6:00 pm yet!! We finished riding some of the rides we didn't get to ride the afternoon before and then rode our favorites again!!
Disney experienced the invasion of the "mainlander" (those who come from the China mainland) on Friday due to the fact that it was a national holiday. We had never been to Disney during a holiday, and after our experience, we probably will steer clear of doing it again! We saw and heard many familiar sights and sounds that we are surrounded by in Tianjin on a daily basis. We heard the the preparation for large spit to be expelled out of the mouth and we heard quite a bit of loud talking! We also were fortunate to see the rolled up shirt (or Tianjin ren, as my children like to call them) and we saw many sleepers!!
Thankfully Disney is prepared for everyone with their food choices! Who wouldn't want some fish balls or a jumbo sausage on a stick?!!After we realized that Disney had been taken over and since Eens kept warning us that the ghosts might come out, we decided to call it a day and head back to the hotel for a swim!! On our way out we got to see our dear friends for a few brief moments! It was enough time for Eens to warn them that they should basically turn back around and leave the park and to snap a quick picture!
We made many happy, funny, and spooky memories in Hong Kong Disney this time around!!
