A Golden Mickey

 I was really happy to finally have all my Magic Kingdom 50th gold statues to put on the blog…

I was getting them ready and realized I had no Mickey…don’t know if I missed it (which would be weird, as he’s right beside Minnie) or if it accidentally got deleted…Anyway, I checked this morning and there were reservations available for the MK so I grabbed one and went out to get it…I figured I could get the new Spring confetti shot and maybe the Cheshire Cat while I was at it…and eat lunch…it’s always good to eat lunch.

I got the Mickey no problem, but finding the confetti shot was another story…but I persevered, and I actually ended up with three, and also discovered another  ‘hidden’ photographer.
    There was no one at the Cheshire Cat location…I checked three times…
   But, that confetti shot…I did some hiking to get that.🥾  The Main Street was where I went first (I should have stopped out front, that’s where one was, but the line was long). 
    Anyway, Main Street said they were on all the bridges, liberty square, and out front…I was eating in Tomorrowland anyway, so I headed to the photographer station that’s usually at the end of the bridge…he was there, but said all he had was straight shots and the frozen Olaf shot (which I have somewhere) …I must have looked sad, he offered to try...it actually worked, but didn’t show up till I got home, and wasn’t that great, anyway. The castle background wasn’t bad though…here’s that..

Here’s the Olaf shot from last year.

I went ahead and ate lunch, (more on that in a few days) then checked the cat again and headed to liberty square…I couldn’t find anyone but a Tinker-bell photographer. I asked in the little office there…they didn’t know…I headed to the bridge by splash mountain…saw no more photographers at all but the parade was getting ready to start, so I ducked down the little path that parallels Frontierland and goes along side the Tom Sawyer Island lagoon. I don’t think I ever realized it ran the entire length of the street…but half way across…low and behold there was a little balcony over the water with, you guessed it… a photographer who did the confetti…that’s the confetti shot shown above…he also did a great shot with Tom Sawyer Island in the background, which in all my years, I’d never gotten. 🤗

So, I tried the cat one more time…nothing…I went ahead and headed out…I stopped at the photographer at the entrance to get one more confetti shot, as neither if the other two had shown up yet….they finally all did..I didn’t like this one much either but she had a new  Peter Pan  shot.. that was fun.

It’s after 3 AM and I have a full day tomorrow…more then…night…
