Okay, if you read my report on day 1, don't despair, the rest of our trip was a dream.

Family members:

Tom - hubby
Sherrie - wife
Heidi - daughter
Raymond - son

Day 2 was suppose to be our day at Blizzard Beach. But unfortunately it was a little too cold for that so instead we tried to orientate ourselves as to where to find everything that we wanted to do and to check out some of the other resorts. I did not get a wake-up call this morning because I did not think that we would be heading out too early. Kids got up at 6:30 full of excitement. So after breakfast in our room and refillable mugs of hot chocolate we checked out downtown Disney and Pleasure Island. It was fun. The kids liked the Lego section and Heidi got a kick out of the kalidescope. Shopping of course was great. After that, even though it was a little chilly, we went swimming at the resort pool. The lifeguard was hilarious. He kept teasing us everytime a gust of wind came up. Kids thought he was great. Of course, once we got out of that beautifully heated pool, we were running to our room to dry off and warm up. I called the PS dinner people and asked for reservations for Cape May Cafe since we missed it the night before. No such luck, totally booked up. So, because we were going to be resort hopping around Epcot, Swan and Dolphin, Boardwalk, Beach and Yacht Club, I asked if anything was around there that was not booked up. She gave us reservations at the Yacht Club Gallee. I cannot remember what everybody ate but everything was good. A little pricey but good. Tom kept reminding himself that he did not come to WDW to save money. After dinner we went back to the resort and bummed around. I wanted the kids in bed early (I believe that finally shut their eyes at 10) because I wanted to do EE at MGM the next day

It's a shame you could not make it there. We also could not do much swimming due to the weather. Just gives us something else to look forward to next trip. Your kids sound raring to go.

I have found that when you call reservations and ask what restaurant isn't booked, that probably what will be left are the most expensive ones. It happened to us in Dec99 when we wanted ressies in Epcot. The only thing available, so they said, was Coral Reef. It was good, but pricey!

I like your dh's attitude, too, about money!! ;)
