After a 2 week-long Spring break I was used to sleeping past 6am and knew it was going to be hard to motivate us all to get up and be on time to the first day of school. Lucky for us there was a huge PR event on that morning.
From 6:30-7:30 am, Mickey and friends were coming to post for PT(physical training) in the Park.
The girls were so excited and there was going to be a special "photo op" for those with the deployment card ( a card proving your man is gone). We got there on time and started to get worried. There were no characters. We got free "army PT" shirts for all the girls, started doing the warm ups and still wondering where they were.Then it was time, the characters came out....and OH MY....this is NOT Disneyland!
There was Picacho (no idea how to spell that one), Scooby Do, and Steroid Spiderman.
Mickey Mouse looked like a very scary version of Mighty Mouse. Minnie had 
dark legs, and looked like she had gone through a psychotic rage when she put her lipstick on!
Tigger was a morphed version! He had the Tigger body and the Tony the Tiger head. Thorin said "I think he put the wrong head on mom!"

I just started laughing from delirium!
I am currently in a law class and they crossed SO many lines (copyright and false advertising just off the top of my head),
that I really hope they have a good lawyer when they get caught.

They also have a Disney breakfast on Saturday. I really hope they have the real characters there because a lot of the kids were freaked out by the scary Mickey Mouse. He looked like he had been chewed on by something. People are paying for the event on Saturday and might expect the real deal. I was happy we got to school on time and with tons of energy, even if it was adrenaline from FEAR!

Reminds me of when we first moved to Hollister. Huston was a first grader. Every year there is a "Lights On" parade and for the first few years we lived here, after the parade, the downtown merchants would open their stores for "light refreshments" and the side streets would be set up for holiday themed exhibits and presentations (like the local dance school or the high school orchestra, etc.). The first year, the bank promised "The Muppets" and Huston was very excited about meeting Big Bird and the Cookie Monster face to face. She was absolutely crest fallen after waiting in line and then being introduced to these smelly, dirty, moth-eaten approximations of the characters. Big Bird especially was a failure since he was shorter than the Cookie Monster!
Such is life, I suppose!
