PUSH The Talking Trash Can at The Magic Kingdom Dec. 24th 2011

On Dec. 24th we saw PUSH the talking trash can for the very first time. I had previously obtained his schedule and we waited in Tomorrowland for him to make his appearance. We had some nice interaction with him and he even sang Happy Birthday to me.

Welcome Show at Magic Kingdom Dec. 24th 2011

Justin was surprised when I handed him the phone in Le Chapeau and he could hear people talking on it. He listened for a few minutes while I was making a hat purchase and really thought he was listening in on someone's conversation.

While touring Italy in the World Showcase of Epcot, I was chosen to be part the Ziti Sisters street performance show. These ladies put on a very fun and entertaining show and it was great to be a part of it. This video was taken on Dec. 25th, which helped to make for a memorable Christmas Day. Marlene was also in an earlier part of the show and I uploaded photos in a previous post.

We spent our last day in the parks at the Magic Kingdom. These photos were taken on Dec. 30th at around  12 noon, and the crowd levels were tremendous. All of the major walkways were difficult to navigate and even some of the lesser known pathways were very slow moving.

This is the family of towel animals we accumulated during our stay. They were pleasant room guests and required very minimal care, though they did seem to multiply rather quickly. We eagerly opened the room door at the end of each day to see what new animal was waiting for us. Many thanks to our talented Mouse keeper!
