Third time lucky

We went to changi Airport three times last week, just to catch Mickey and Minnie meet and greet session. Frankly, I was running out of ideas of what else to do to spend the last few days of the hols and since we are not too far off from the airport, I checked out the dates for the session and saw that there was one on the 24th Dec.

Just as everyone had gotten ready, I realised that it read T3 Transit, meaning that it would not be held in the public area. But since everyone was ready, we just went ahead. So it was really just a peek from the viewing gallery.

So after that I promised her that we would see them close-up on Saturday. Alas, after seeing the peaceful crowd at T3 transit, we didn't expect the crowd. Hence when we arrived at around 3.05 for the 3.30 session, the queue was super long and all the passes had been snapped up. Instead, they were handing out passes for the 5.30 session. Since Tasha was working in the evening, I told her that we would not join the queue and cannot take any picture and brought her to the front so that we could watch the characters. However, she soon started sobbing and refused to hang around. She was there for a photo, and was clearly disappointed.

The next day, on the last day of the meet and greet, we headed there straight after zohor and was there by 1.50 pm. Passes were given out at 2.30 and after such a back-breaking wait, she got her photo. She was so proud that she kept staring at the photo for a good 20 minutes after we had collected it. But on hindsight, had I known that there was such a mad rush for such things, I would never have made a promise in the first place and subject myself to such agony.
