Mandatory Fun

Today was the beginning of our mandatory Disney trip. We would have thought it to be a good idea except the people putting it on planned a bunch of activities preventing us from being able to go to Disneyland. So we're basically here to listen to the mandatory seminars and so Joli can see Mickey! Joli was excited when we got here!!
I was doing a good job being hopeful.
Turns out there is a huge statue of Mickey in front of the hotel. We could have just left after that!
We didn't though. We went and stood in six different lines in a giant conference room which ended up using up all the time we had before the restaurants closed for the afternoon and meant that we had to eat hamburgers from a stand. Major bummer. Joli tried to entertain us.
Joe wanted to do something nice for Joli and let her pick out one thing from the gift shop. She hasn't let him go since.
Next we headed to mandatory dinner and speaker. The speaker was aweful, she went on and on about stories she had heard about people dying at war. It was horrible. The food was pretty good and the drinks were awesome! Joli went to the day care with a group of other children under the age of three, and the day care workers loved her! She was assigned to two workers and when I came back they told me that Joli had an amazing vocabulary and talked non-stop. They also said that Chip and Dale came in for a visit and that Joli kept talking to them and wouldn't let them leave! Needless to say, she was a little tired this evening!
Can't wait for character breakfast!
