I'd promised an update this week, and so you shall! Firstly, I thank you from the bottom of my heart if you are still reading this report that has taken foreverrrrrrr to kick out. 
Next, happy father's day to all those awesome dads out there! 
OK, now let's see. Where did I leave off? Oh yes, we were just leaving the Magic Kingdom on the Christmas parade taping day to head to the Boardwalk. We'd lucked out on the crowds this day... basically if you stayed away from Main Street, it was a fairly typical crowd day, even leaning on the lighter side.
It had been a great day so far saying hello to Snow White, double whammied the mountains with a splash and a crazy train, greeting a Princess Frog and getting pixie dusted! Oh and of course, our silly encounter with a naughty Stitch. 
The next part of our day was a first for us all. We were finally heading over to the Boardwalk! I'd intentionally booked a dinner at Kouzina this day so that we'd have to go -- every year something would pop up and we'd never made it. Weeks before we were supposed to go however, Disney decided to do some refurbs at Kouzina during our trip and our reservation was cancelled. With a little help from my DIS friends, we booked a replacement dinner at the Captain's Grille.
We were pretty much on schedule leaving MK when we did. I'd wanted to tour the Boardwalk before eating so we weren't too tired afterwards.
Seems odd to me now to see the Christmas decorations on such a warm spring day today.
While we toured the Yacht club for a little bit, Demetri found the little TV area and was soon sucked into the cartoons playing.
Heading outside, we had a bizarre encounter with an overly friendly squirrel that seemed like he really just wanted to play with us.
He'd come close and then dart away and Demetri was cautious but laughing at him at the same time. The squirrel figured out we had no treats for him so he took his one-squirrel-show down the road for the next family.
Now I'll let my pictures do the talking .... enjoy the tour!

Guess our timing was off this time.
The CM manning the podium said there was a 2 hour wait to get in. No tables were available, no counter stools were available, no outside seating was available and there was no 'to-go' service. 
The No Way Jose on this trip was not meant to be.
We'll definitely have to make a point to at least visit the resorts next year!!
) I was hoping for Beaches and Cream but...I guess I shouldn't count on it.
Did you see Amy's Family Feud game? Maybe that could help! 
Glad to have you along!
I'm getting close to finishing up!
