They had this entire band on Main Street blowing their horns and playing their drums just for me. I rode in the car with Minnie Mouse, but she didn't say anything to me, because she's not supposed to talk. I tried to ask her questions, but she wouldn't answer ---she just kept hugging and kissing me.
