Wow...i've gotten really lazy on these haven't I?
Ah oh well...i'm catching up.
Anyways, today was HARRY POTTER DAY!! (unofficial)
Since I know Rachel is a HUGE Harry Potter geek, I took her along. She was aaaall dressed up for it and everything. Me? I had a sticker of a lightning bolt on my forehead. Yah. Obviously that wasn't enough, so I grabbed my Merlin plush and tied up his beard. Now my Merlin evolved into Dumbledore!! Yaaay! As soon as we got in the park, we headed straight over to Plaza Gardens to register in. Rachel got REALLY excited, being that she was 'among her people'. The group picture was at about 11:30, so we still had awhile to do whatever until then. Not too much later, the Castle Show started, so we hung over by the side of the castle and waited for Hatter appear.
Rachel: He's not gonna see you! WHY would he suddenly decide to look over here!?!?
Me: His Leanne senses will start tingling and he'll HAVE to look over!
And I was right! HA!
He looked over at me and pointed, just as I expected him too. Sadly, Alice wasn't with him. Now we headed over to follow the vehicle down Main Street. During that time, we found Brooke, Lizzi, Dan, and Bri. Hatter happily waved at us all, then spotted me, gave me a weird look, and made a gesture to his forehead (since I had a cheap sticker on mine). So we raced down Main Street, when SUDDENLY...
CM: May I ask you a few questions?
Us: ...*glances over CM's shoulder as Hatter and the other characters are getting out of the vehicle*  Ehhh....Suuuure...
So he asked us like...5 billion questions (which we answered as quickly as possible) and then JOLTED off to see if Hatter was still there, and he was!!
Us: HAAAATTERRR!!!! *charges towards him at full speed*
Hatter: *casually talking, looks up, sees us charging at him* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! *takes off running to the magical doors*
Before he went through the doors, he stopped, stared at us like D=  and then walked back over.
Lizzi brought her Alice's Adventures in Wonderland book, and Hatter read a bit of it to us.
 
Once Hatter left, it was time for Rachel and I to head back over to Plaza Gardens and get ready for our group picture.

If you look a liiiiittle bit closer...

You can see us!!
Moments later, it was time for the Scavenger Hunt to begin! So Rachel and I headed off to our first destination, which was the Five n Dime over in Toontown. We got the question right and earned ourselves our first coin!

Needless to say, we were pretty excited. We had about an hour to do whatever, so we took a spin on Roger Rabbit since it had no wait. I noticed the audio (well, the music at least, not the sounds) was turned off in the Power House and Gag Factory. Being the geek I am, I spazzed out and got all excited. We weren't sure what to do next, so we wandered around in Fantasyland. Then we spotted Hatter over by the Mad Tea Party, and sure enough, Brooke, Lizzi, Erica, and Bri were all there with him. There weren't very many people coming over to Hatter, so we got to talk to him a bit more. At one point during the meet n greet, Hatter came over to me, ripped my sticker off my forehead, and tried it put it on his, but he failed miserably and it fell on his nose. So he tried to stick it back on me, but it wasn't sticking that well, so I just glaaaared at him.
Me: See it doesn't even stick anymore!
Hatter: That's why ya gotta lick it! *licks my sticker*
Me: ...
Hatter: *heads to me and tried to stick it back on my forehead*
Me: OH NOES!! D=
*SPLAT*
So now I had Hatter spit on my forehead...AND a cheesey sticker. >_<
Me: BLEH, I HAVE HATTER GERMS!!
Hatter: *smiiiiiles*
We walked Hatter over to his magical doors, then got in line for Pixie Hollow. Well Rachel and I didn't stay for long, for our hour was up and it was time to head over to our next destination for our scavenger hunt. We head over to the Penny Arcade. Rachel went over to play the Pinocchio game.

I love how he dances to "I got no strings on me"....while he's hanging by strings...
As Rachel was playing, she heard some total psycho yell "AVADA KADAVRA". But she ignored it and came back in line. Here's the fun part...
Me: Hey why isn't Sam here anyway?
Rachel: I know huh!
Us: Shaaaaaammmmeee....
...
...and then out of nowhere...
People behind us: HI SAM!
Me: ...*turns around* O___O
Rachel: O___O
Sam: *stares at us and pokes us with wand then runs away*
Us: ....BWAAAAHHHH WHAT IS HE DOING HERE GAH MADNESS!!!! *goes completely insane*
People behind us (sorry don't remember their names): What? It's just Sam.
XD
He still scares me a bit. =P
So we talked to his friends for a little while. My favorite part of our short conversation wasss...
Them: Do you two have like...a crush on him or something??
Us: O___o  WHUH? Oh nononononono!!! We're just reeeally big fans of his, I guess you can say...
Them:...riiiight....faaaaannnsss...
XP
Well we got our question right and got another coin.
We headed over to the exit to Pixie Hollow to wait for the others to come out, when out of nowhere, Sam showed up again. (Where is this man coming from?!?!?)
He went through the exit to see the faires and such, y'know, manly stuff. :P
We were hoping the others were in the same place he was, but they were like...2 families away from him...quite sad really.
We continued to wait for the rest, when Sam came out and headed over to us.
Sam: *pokes us with wand* actually i don't really need a wand, I have magic fingers. *does magic fingers*
Us:...*unsure how to respond* =D
Sam: I know a new magic trick!
Us: Orly?
Sam: *makes thumb disappear and reappear*
Us:...XD  How does he dooooo iiiit? It's still a mysteryyyy....
A bit later, Brooke, Lizzi, Bri, and Erica finally come out.
We just started LAUGHING at them.
Brooke:....what's so funny?
Me: Guess who's here?
Them:....
Me: SAM.
Them: ...OMG *explodes*
Now these crazy people wanna find him! Well I guess I can't blame them, they haven't seen him in months. They were the same way Rachel and I were two weeks before this, trying to find him before the trick or treat party.
So we head over to the hub and hang around for a bit. Wasn't long before we found Sam again. Now we had some trouble...nobody wanted to talk to him. Shyness got the best of them all. And since he was talking to people,I didn't wanna bother him! So we ran over to the side and watched. Brooke and Lizzi tried to make things noticeable, but he started walking away. Now they sent me to chase him down. 
..Great...
I must say, I felt incredibly awkward following him down Main Street.
So Sam's just skipping along 'lalala' all innocent like....and the rest of us are carefully lurking behind him. Yah. Felt REAL great about doing that. Once he stopped, we stopped behind him. Next thing I knew, RACHEL WAS GONE! Then Brooke ran off to find Rachel! GAH!! I chase him down, he finally stops, and everybody runs away. Great. Juuuuust great. Then he turns around and stares at me.
Me: ...
Sam:...
Me:...*wave*
-__-
Brooke finally returned without Rachel.
Me: Well...there he is. Go say hi.
Them:...you're kidding right? Only YOU can talk to him!!
Me: GAH GO SAY HI, IT'S JUST SAM!! *flashback* "What...it's just Sam" *end Flashback*  ...o__O
About 5 minutes later, they still weren't saying anything.
Them: Omg hurry up Leanne he's leaving aaaaauuuuggghhh!!
Me: ...
Them: Leaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnneeee
Me: ALRIGHT FINE. THAT'S IT. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE.
*marches over to Sam and taps him on the shoulder*
Them: ...um....Leanne....
Me: Sam? Yah, hai. See those people over there? *point point*
Them: o___o  Leaaannne..you have a ba-
Me: Anyways, they wanna talk to you but they're too shy to say anything.
Lizzi: *walks over*  LEANNE. FOOT. *points at my shoe*
Me: whuh? *looks down at shoe and sees a bag*  ...*lifts up shoe realizing the bag is stuck* GAH GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF
Sam:...XD
Finally the rest came over and greeted him. (and it's about time too!! sheeeesh...)
After talking to us for a bit, he ran off to Tom Sawyer's Island. That reminded me...DANGIT I'M PART OF THIS SCAVENGER HUNT TOO!! Rachel showed up and we dashed off to the Island.
On the way there, we realized now that he was sent to distract us. We ended up getting the same raft as him. This was starting to get incredibly awkward, and none of it was on purpose. We just stood off on the side of the raft, whistling innocently. Once we were in line, waiting to answer the next question, I started going crazy. At this point in time, I attempted to eat the leaves off the trees. Good thing I didn't.
Sadly for us, we didn't get the answer right to the question. *tear tear* Now it was time to rush off the island and catch Musical Chairs. We quickly made our way over to Main Street, and saw Hatter making his way over to Coke Corner. We ran over to him and jumped by his side with these big goofy grins on our faces.
 Rachel wasn't able to stay for the entire game though, she had to head over to the Sword in the Stone to answer the next question. I stayed behind and hung out with Hatter (ain't a great partner?).
Musical Chairs was fun anyways. Since Alice wasn't there, Brooke, Lizzi, Dan, Erica, and Bri got to help out. I took pictures, you know me. XP
After the game, not very many people were coming up to Hatter, so we all went over to mess with him as always. I gave Hatter my Merlin plush to pose with, and of course, he tried to eat it.

Eh don't ask about the nametag if you don't understand it.
Brooke then took the flower that was in Merlin's hair out and put it on Hatter's hat.

Then moved it to another position.

He stayed like that for a good 30 seconds, till Brooke went over to poke him. Then he poked her back. Eventually we all started poking each other.
Then Hatter went over to our table and started cleaning everything off and putting it all in his pockets. Those things are HUGE!! As he was taking everything back out, he took Lizzi's sketchbook and ran off to sketch something. He stopped at a Cotton Candy cart and drew a picture of Cotton Candy (aka, a crappy looking tree) and put 'Price of Cotton Candy = $TOO EXPENSIVE.'
Beautiful.
We walked him over to the magical doors...
(this is totally stolen from Brooke's TR)
So Brooke discovers the magical doors can open.
Brooke: WOAH! Those open!
Hatter: Yes they d-....*looks at Brooke with a 'no really?' look* Wow. *slow clap*
Everyone: *slow clap*
Brooke: YAY! *bows dramatically* *nearly falls*

She was so proud. So we continued walking to the magical doors, everyone got a hug, and...Hatter stole Merlin.

(kay, done stealing from Brooke)

So Hatter ran behind the magical doors with Merlin. Brooke tried to trade him the Brian nametag for Merlin. In the end, Hatter ended up owning both. I was totally expecting to see something go flying over the doors, but it never happened. That was a Geppetto moment only I suppose.
Well he gave them back, gave us another hug, then went off. I headed over to the Sword in the Stone to see Rachel. Sadly, she got the question wrong, and declared that Sam was totally cheating.
Off to Parade of Dreams!!
We got to see the Bolt pre-parade.

While we were waiting for the actual parade to start, Merlin went insane and ATTACKED RACHEL!!

As you can see, he started climbing into her hair.
It's not time to hibernate yet Merlin.
Rachel and I didn't get to finish the parade, we left during the Lion King Float or so. We headed over to our next destination, Tarzan's Treehouse. We looked around and noticed Sam wasn't around.
Us: HA, we beat him! Muwahahaha!!!
So we're happily climbing through the treehouse, when Rachel looks down and sees a pair of Mickey ears, already at the exit.
Us: WTFDJKDJAKD?!!?!?!?
BAH.
He beat us. >_>
And we got the answer to the question wrong. MEEEEH.
Rachel said she was going to EXPLODE of she got the next one wrong. Can't really remember what happened afterwards. We saw Jack and Sally (I guess this was their last day) and Captain Jack Sparrow (who currently isn't there anymore as well). We watched them for a bit, then made our way to Tomorrowland and wandered around. We had to head over to Mad Tea Party next, but we still had 30 min. or so. So we took a ride on Pinocchio and continued wandering around. I SPOTTED HENRY THE JANITOR!! XD YAAAY!!
I frighten that poor man. I've known him for like...2 years, and he has NO idea who I am. Fun fun fun.
We started walking around in circles aimlessly. Now a line for the question was starting to form, so we headed over there. The next person in line was Sam.
Us: ....
Neither of us wanted to stand near him. XD
But we still got in line!! There was just a huuuge gap between us.
Then some more Harry Potter people came along and saw us.
Them: ...are you girls in line??
Us: oh yah!
Them:...*sees the gap between us and Sam* ....kaaaayyy....
Heh. WE'RE SHY OK!?!?!?
We magically began inching closer and closer, till that gap was gone. We didn't even notice we were getting closer. I took a sip of my frozen lemonade, that tasted horrible now.
Me: ...this frozen lemonade is a lie.
Sam: *OUT OF NOWHERE* The cake is lie.
Me: XD Exactly.
....
You neeeeever knew when he was listening. >.>
And out of random, he would poke one of us with his wand then look away like nothing ever happened.
EVIL, EEEEVIL!!!!
So we would just stand there, talking to each other, and Sam would join in whenever he felt was necessary. We were careful of what we were talking about....didn't wanna say something that we would regret!
Luckily for us, we got the question right this time! YAAY!!
...to be honest...I have NO idea what we did after this.
...
*tries to think*
...
Nope. Nothin.
Our next destination was in New Orleans Square. We kept ourselves occupied by listening to music while we waited in line. Next thing we knew, Sam was behind us. (HE'S HERE, HE'S THERE, OH NO, LOOK OUT, HE'S EVERYWHERE!!!) 
Don't think he did anything though. XP
Sadly for us, we got the question wrong. We Faaaaaiiill. D:
So, that's it, scavenger hunt was over. So we traveled off to watch Parade of Dreams. It took the Parade forever to get to us (since we watch it across from Small World), and we had to show up at Plaza Gardens at 7:00. At 6:50, the parade still wasn't by us, so we skipped it and ran off to Plaza Gardens, with Brooke, Bri, and Erica following us there.
First we turned in our coins, then grabbed a table and hung out. We went INSANE. Merlin went bungee jumping with a scarf, they conga-ed, Erica ad Brooke adopted Merlin because he was living with an abusive faimly, and someone took a picture of Brooke dancing and we decided it was Sam's fault that it happened.
Now to announce the finalists!!
Obviously we weren't one of the winners, infact we were far from it.
We got CANDY!! I got these 3 brilliant lollipops that were stuck to the wrapper so I couldn't unwrap it. I ended up sticking it in my mouth all wrapped up. Then got sick and threw em away.
On the other hand, Sam's group came in 2nd place, and he got this fancy little Sirius Black action figure.
Pfft, I prefer Snape anyway. XP
*hugs her Snape action figure*
*steals from Brooke's TR*
Sam: *walks by waving something in the air*
Brooke: *squint* What is that?
Sam: ....It's why so sirius?

Kay i'm done stealing from you Brooke.
So we said our goodbyes (wait...that's partly stolen from Brooke...oh well) and Rachel and I walked Brooke and Bri to the exit. Rachel and I were leaving at 8. We walked over to Pirates of the Caribbean, but the line was a bit long, and it was 7:55. Bah.
So our adventure ended...and we are totally participating next year!! And this time, WE'LL BE READY!!
