Here is another day,
Day 6 Saturday June 20th
It was a really short night for me. I was up at 9:30 as I had a date this morning. Today was the day I had looked forward to the whole trip, I was going to meet Amy. We chat almost every day on Tags site and we just happened to be in WDW at the same time. We had been texting each other since we had arrived and today was the day we were finally going to meet. I tried to get the family or at least Doug to join me, but all I got was a, Ill meet you there later. So I got ready and left the room around 10:00. It felt so strange to be on my own and I dont think a solo trip is in my future anytime soon. I got to the MK with about 45 minutes to spare so I did some shopping up Main Street. I found a few things and had them sent back to the room. We had decided to meet up at the entrance to AdventureLand and the benches there. I was a bit nervous as I really didnt know what Amy looked like but as soon as I got over the bridge there she was. I knew immediately that it was her. We hugged and she introduced me to her wonderful family and then we talked like we had known each other all our lives. Isnt that funny? I have met some of my best friends through the internet. So if you ever have a chance to meet, do so. Make it a public place and just do it. We visited for about a ½ hour and we both were just melting. I think today was the hottest day yet. This heat was just brutal. We came last year in August. And everyone told us we were fools to go to Florida in the heat of August. But believe me, this was much hotter than last year and the humidity was awful. I had such a good time meeting Amy and her family. We said our goodbyes and hoped to be able to meet again.
I walked back to Main Street as I had to get somewhere where it was cool. I kind of didnt feel so good. I got inside Caseys and found a chair and just sat and watched a few cartoons. I started to feel better, so I went out and shopped the other side of Main Street. It was about 30 minutes before we were to meet for lunch. As I came around the corner to the Plaza, there sat Doug. We talked a bit and waited for Matthew and Ali so we could check in. We had an ADR for the Plaza at 12:15. I called them and they rounded the corner. I went and check in and they called us about 10 minutes later. This was a new place for us and we were all really looking forward to it. It took forever for our server to get us some water and our menus. Finally we order and our food comes out. We never saw him again. Ended up asking another waitress for more drinks. The manager happened to come by and ask how everything was and I told him about our server, I usually dont complain but this was ridiculous. He apologized and left. Still no waiter and we really did want some dessert. So we waited and waited and waited. Hey it was cool in there and hotter than Hades outside so we werent in any hurry if they werent. Finally out he came and took our order and left again. Another waiter brought our dessert out and refilled our drinks. He was so nice and apologized over and over. No big deal the food was outstanding so we probably will come back. As we were just finishing up, in walked the Mayors wife and his niece Miss Penny. They were trying so hard to get this crowd into their fun that I felt sorry for them so I started playing along. Well needless to say we had a ball. By the time they were finished they had presented us with a certificate as the family of the day. And we each got a Celebration pin. This why I love Disney!! We had so much fun that it totally made up for the bad service.
While we were eating we decided it was just to hot to be in a park today so we chose to go to DTD and get some serious shopping done. We walked down Main Street, through the shops and boarded the Resort Monorail to the Contemporary. We got off and went down to the bus stop and waited only about 10 minutes for a bus. We got on and realized that we were the only ones on the bus and the whole way to DTD. We got off and it was like a blast furnace. We stopped in the $10 and under store and then the next one I forget the name. Ali bought a new dress and 2 bags one for her and one for her little sister. We then went to the Christmas store and looked around then to the Pantry as Ali was looking for some Pizza plates. Purchases made then to Ghirardellis for a chocolate sample. They had some awesome sales going on and I asked if they delivered to the Resorts. She said no they dont, bummer, as in this heat it would never make it back. At this point the day just came apart. I wanted a sundae, but no one else did. Ali wanted to go to the
Lego store, but the boys didnt so they decided to just sit. Ali left and I went over to the World of Disney. It was total gridlock in there so I didnt stay to long. We finally all met back up and went over to the Wide World of Sports. They didnt have any new golf shirts for the boys so they were disappointed. I then decided our day of shopping was done. We were all getting VERY crabby and I didnt like the way it was going, so we left for the busses. We were able to sit under a canopy and it took 30 minutes for a bus to come. We didnt talk a whole lot. I think Doug even fell asleep. It was just too hot for anyone to be out today. We got back to Pop and went right to the room. Thank Goodness it was cool in there.
We all took naps and tried to regroup. Around 6:00 we headed out again with much better attitudes. A bus for Epcot was waiting for us. We visited our Leave a Legacy tile and gave Momma a kiss on hers. Man I miss her so much!!!! I so remember the day we did those pictures great memories. We rode Space Ship Earth for the first time of the trip. And all loved it. We played a few games afterwards and somehow lost Matthew. We looked for about 10 minutes and he didnt answer his phone. We walked outside and there he was. He was just laughing at us. KIDS!! We walked through to World Showcase and turned right. We went up to Canada to see if by chance they had any Root merchandise yet. Nope they dont and again I let a CM know how disappointing that is. She agreed and said that everyone is. Maybe if enough of us complain they will bring it back. I sure hope so. She did show us the hidden Mickeys in the Pavilion and that was a blast. We carried on to the UK and was just in time for the British Invasion. We never come here that we dont think of Margaret and Danny. Hey guys, we really missed you. They did a great set and it was over way to soon. We looked in the stores and tried a few different perfumes on. Wow, did we smell good. LOL
The Sound of Summer Concert - The Bee Gees Tribute Band was about to start so over we go. The kids went and looked in France and the shops in America. Doug and I really enjoyed the concert. They played Stayin Alive, Jive Talkin, Women to Women, Hold On, Tender With My Love and ended with Tragedy. The back up singer stole the show though. He was fantastic.
We met back up with the Kids and walked toward Italy. Doug and I each got a glass of Rosa and found a good spot to watch Illuminations. It was great as usual. I just LOVE Illuminations: Reflections of Earth and like to see it a few times each trip. After the show we slowly walked on around World Showcase. We stopped in Germany for another beer in Jays honor. We headed on around stopping to enjoy the evening where we wanted. I love Epcot at night. And it had cooled off to almost 90 so it was a nice walk. I am like a little kid at the sidewalk lights I LOVE them!!
We headed out of the park and caught the 5th bus to Pop Century. We went to the Food Court for a late/lite dinner. The kids ran to the room and got our mugs and of course the cards. We played a few games and headed for the room around 11:30. We got the giggles and Matthew and Ali ended up having a pillow fight. I do apologize to the people in the rooms on each side of us. We were having a ball, but were a bit loud. It didnt last long but we did have fun. Lights out finally at 12:30.
But I will hook up the humidifier! Thanks I should have thought of that! 
I have a flat top as well - I actually hate it! But thankfully haven't broken it yet 
so I'll make something with what he brings home. Whatever needs to be used the quickest 
I don't know any remedies, I would just keep giving her lollipops, Popsicles and anything else that is slippery. 
so I am not sure how long she will be okay in it.
I'd like to get in there & strangle those drs. Chris said she'd try to hold off until Saturday to see if she improves before taking her back.
