I apologize in advance for the lack of photos. I really dropped the ball here! I believe that I left off in the morning when I couldn't sleep! After I went to the front desk to get us a different room for that evening I knew it was still very early and that everyone would be sleeping for quite a while. So I wandered around a bit and decided to eat some breakfast. I went to the food court and got an omelette and potatoes. This was not bad but it wasn't fantastic - just good, and what you'd expect from food court food!
After breakfast I took a shower and woke up Eilee. Holly & Leah soon woke up too. We all got ready, went back to the food court for some breakfast and rode the bus to Epcot! Holly & Leah got into pin trading so they decided that they would like to walk around to look at pins while Eilee and went on some rides, got fast passes and I took Eilee to try Beverly. A friend of mine had done this to her son so I knew exactly how to handle it. I made sure that she tasted two really good types of soda and then I filled up a cup with Beverly and said "Mmmmmm....taste this one! It's good!!" so she took a big swig and then did the face. And if you've had Beverly you know which face that is. She was so mad at me! Later she thought it was funny, I promise.
Then it was time to meet Holly & Leah for lunch at Le Cellier - our favorite restaurant! We love steak! We ran into them in a gift shop shortly before the time of our reservation which was great. I told them that we'd better get going because we had about two minutes! They said they'd meet us there if we wanted to go check in. We checked in and in about 5 minutes the host called our name but couldn't seat us until our entire party was there. UGH! So I texted Holly several times because there was no way that I was going to miss this meal after waiting for it for months. After about 10 more minutes (which seemed like about an hour!) they came down the path. Then we had to wait about another 10 to be called again. I really don't think that they understand the whole ADR thing. But lunch was lovely and our steaks were fantastic! Eilee and I both had the mushroom filet, Holly actually ordered a steak and fries instead of chicken fingers!! But Leah decided that she only wanted a giant plate of fries. I thoroughly enjoyed lunch but I only got a photo of the chocolate Moose!
At this point the girls said that they wanted to go outside to wait while we paid the bill. I took this opportunity to tell Holly that Eilee and I were getting a room by ourselves that night. Everything seemed just fine with her and I hope that she wasn't offended. I just couldn't go one more night with no sleep and I explained that I was a light sleeper. After lunch Eilee and I had a Soarin Fast Pass and Holly & Leah wanted to look at more pins so we split up and I didn't see them again until later that evening.
Eilee and I had a fantastic day together! It was so much fun! We walked around and snacked and went on rides and snacked some more. We found these yummy treats at Karamelle Kuche and loved them! The strawberry was giant and fresh and the caramel corn was covered in thick buttery caramel. I wish I had some right now!
And then we saw this little guy. Eilee has two geckos at home and she loves lizards so she made me take a photo of it.
After walking around we went back to the room to move our things to the new room which ended up being the room right next door! We rested for just a bit before we went back to Epcot for the rest of the evening (and ran into Holly & Leah for just a minute on our way out but it was awkward!). We went on some more rides and walked around the World Showcase again. We met up with Tallee's family again and the girls hung out for just a bit before Eilee and I found a spot for Illuminations. As we were walking in the UK a cast member walked up to us and handed us something that looked like 3D glasses and then she just kept walking. We put them on and they turned every bit of light that we saw (like street lights and fireworks) into Mickey heads!! It was so amazing to watch the fireworks with these glasses on. Mickey heads exploding everywhere! Just a little bit of unexpected magic! It was a lovely ending to a lovely day. And when we went back to the room...I slept like a baby all night long!
Next up - final day and random photos.
