Adventures with Tigger....
Yep, that's really him....!
As you know, Pj did the Disney College Program while at Ball State. He went down to Florida this Christmas to work the holiday hours and to keep his Cast Member status. Just about the time he was going to return home in January, he had an audition/interview and was hired to a full time position by the Character/Entertainment Dept of Disney at Walt Disney World!
So, he finally came home in March to get the rest of his stuff to move down there. He flew home on a Thursday and we packed up the van and left on Saturday night to head back down. We had lunch at Betsy and Mickey's on Saturday afternoon and actually got a few photos of the grandkids. Not too often you get this group in one place at the same time!
Char and Amy even made a special Mickey Pie....
not to mention the great "South of the Border spread" that Uncle Mickey put together for the occasion!!
So we packed the van floor to ceiling with "stuff"... and Pj, Brooke, and Nancy started the drive to Florida about 6:30 pm Saturday night.... just under 1100 miles later (we made the 1125 mile trip in 17.5 hours), we stopped at a Florida Rest Stop just before getting on the Florida Turnpike.... and Welcome to Florida...
We moved all Pj's stuff into his apartment... on the third floor, I might add, but we did it! And checked into the Disney All-Star Resort... and wouldn't you know it... we get checked in to the Country-Western section! We just knew that Uncle John would appreciate knowing that....!
Brooke went for a swim in the Piano Pool...
The next day Pj met us for
part of the day at the Magic Kingdom. 
He had a rehearsal for the Trolley Show that he's training for. Although this photo is not Pj dancing, it is the show that he's training for....
Of course, we did get to see a few characters.... (Pj was at rehearsal while we saw these characters... so no one we know in these... but characters that Pj is familiar with "from the inside"...)
Tuesday morning, Pj had rehearsal again... but worked the parade in the afternoon. So, we got back to the Magic Kingdom for the 3 o'clock "Share a Dream Come True" Parade.... he does various parts in the parade, and is training for some additional ones... but the day we were there he was in the front of the parade pushing the Walt Disney animator....
Yep, that's him in the Green vest on the left! Leading the
Disney Parade down Main Street!
Really sharing a dream come true.
And of course, no Disney Trip would be complete without a trip
to Epcot
for a few Brewskis and a bucket of kraut!!
On Wednesday morning, Pj worked the Character Breakfast at the Grand Floridian... so Brooke and I went for breakfast... and got to see our very own Tigger and friends...
Good job, PJ! We're happy for you!
