A huge THANK YOU to Alex, AVP, Joe and the rest of the crew. After too many years, we were very happy to be back and playing! This was such a fantastic game and we had an absolute blast. I can't tell you how proud I am of my girls for making it through. I may have had to bribe them with Mickey ice creams and Dole Whips that final hour but they sure were troopers. I can't believe we did as well as we did and we're over the moon with our 2nd place family finish.
We flew through rockets but Bears pretty much sucked the life out of us. It was just so crowded and trying to keep track of 3 kids in that madness just made my head hurt even more than the quests. For the record, we only temporarily lost Ms. M three times during the game and if you know my middle child...that's not bad. :-)
We loved the two Q quests we attempted and my 7 yo rocked out the charades. Out of dumb luck (and in an effort to not have my three girls fight over and lose all of our cards), I found a trading card booklet at Walmart last week. It had 4 card sleeves per page so we were able to put all of the same card (A, 2, 3, etc) together which made the eyespys so much easier for us. We also LOVED the variety of the trivia. What the girls knew, I didn't have a clue...and vice a versa. Apparently we've never shown them the Mighty Ducks because they all pointed to that one and said "What is THAT?!?!" lol
We also had a couple of great "Ah-Ha!" moments. The funniest was for the statues on Main Street. I knew I was missing something obvious with it and as we were crossing back from Tomorrowland I mentioned how we needed to still find that answer. I looked up and saw them and let out an "Oh!" to which each girl one after another let out a gasp as they saw them too. After we got the answer I made sure to commend them on having their first big "Ah-Ha" moment and told them they were officially MouseAdventurers now. The rest of our trip, it became the joke that wouldn't die and we'd have to gasp every time we walked by.
I do have to ask...where exactly was the eyespy lantern by Splash? We even went back on Monday to look for it and STILL couldn't find it.
Thank you again, and we can't wait to try again in the fall! Out of curiosity, do you have any idea what month we might be looking at?
