As the meet wound to a close, a group of nine of us (me, Kevin, Peter, Donna, Shawna, Scott, Mickey, Jessie and Tony) decided to go to Beaches N Cream for lunch.
We've done that for the last three or four years at least, and now it has almost become a tradition! We had about an hour wait, and it was really quite hot to be December. We went into the arcade next door for a while, where Kevin and I tried our luck at a DDR type game.
Well, frankly, we both sucked at it! When we got our score, it was a big, fat F! We couldn't hear the music it was playing, and I think we'd accidentally set it on an advanced level, as it was very hard to play!
Peter and I also got a sketch done on a Michaelangelo machine, which makes the third person I have had one done with!
Donna ended up leaving early before we were seated, and the rest of us were seated at a booth and a table right across from each other. Most of us got burgers, and I got a mint chocolate milkshake also.
We took a lot of pictures, including pictures of each other taking pictures...
...and a picture of Kevin and his smiley burger, just like last year.

Peter got Kevin and I to try and take a cutesy photo of us sharing a milkshake, but neither of us could stop laughing long enough to get a good picture!

After lunch, Kevin, Peter, Tony, Shawna, Scott and I went over to the Mega Mouse Meet for a bit. I didn't even really care to go, but everyone else did, so I went.

As light shone down from the heavens, Peter tried to part the waters at the Swan and Dolphin, but was unable to do so, yea verily.
We had some goofy fun during the walk over, then Mike called my cell phone. He was at Magic Mountain with Robb and Wes and wanted to know what kind of poking I wanted to see in my "Robb poking Mike in the forehead" picture hahaha Wasn't sure how to answer that question! I told him that we were heading to Magic Kingdom later, so I would call him and let him ride through Splash Mountain with us.
Once we arrived at the Mega Mouse Meet, we all kinda milled around chatting with whoever we knew.
How many RADPers does it take to find the Northern Hemisphere Ballroom?
I think "OMG is there going to be so much crap to collect that I need a bag *this* big???

I collected a couple of little things from a few booths, but nothing too major. We all hung around for the door prize giveaways, then decided to head over to Magic Kingdom. Kevin stuck around a little longer, but soon we extracted him too, and we were off. Tony went his own way for a bit, and we decided that he would call one of us later so we could meet up in Magic Kingdom. Peter was parked at the Beach Club, so Kevin and I walked out to his car and he drove us to the Magic Kingdom. Remarkably, the monorail ride from the TTC to the Magic Kingdom was the only time I rode a monorail on the whole trip!
