So sorry that I've been slacking, I promise I will try harder to update more often!
So day 5 has arrived. Today will be a "no park" day for me, but DH will be going into Epcot with his fam. I'm pretty excited b/c I'm totally exhausted from walking so much the past few days! It will be a relaxing day for me.
When I woke up at 7:30, everyone else was already up...(earplugs work GREAT!) I had a quick little breakfast in the room and sat around for a little while. Everyone else was showering and getting ready to walk over to Epcot at 9am. When everyone left, I showered and went down to the BC pool to meet my sister for pool opening (10am.) It was a little chilly, but warming up quick. It's expected to be another sunny day!
When we got to the pool we picked out a spot near the bottom of the big slide. We knew the kids would want to go down it over and over, so we thought it would be a good place. My BIL and I decided to go down the slide too a couple time with my niece and nephew. I had never been down this slide before! Here are some pics that my sis took:
First, my BIL:
Then me (see my hand holding my sunglasses??)
There goes my niece:
My nephew went down too, but he disappeared into the foam before she could get a good picture! Here is all of us:
Today was a perfect pool day. We had a great and relaxing time, and the kids had a blast. DH came over to the pool to meet us after his day at Epcot. My sis and I walked over to Hurricane Hanna's bar and got some drinks. I got a poolside lemonade for myself and DH, my sis got a long island ice tea for herself and a poolside lemonade for her DH, and we got some virgin strawberry daiquiris for the kids. All our drinks were excellent and STRONG! Here are a couple more pictures:
At about 1:30, My sis and her fam went back to their hotel to shower and relax for a bit. DH and I went back to our room to do the same. At about 3:30, we drove over to their hotel to catch a boat to DTD. We had 4:30 ADR's at Planet Hollywood. The boat ride was great and the weather was perfect! When we arrived at DTD, we headed toward Planet Hollywood. We stopped in at a couple of stores along the way.
When we arrived at Planet Hollywood, our table was ready almost immediately. They seated us in our own little private section! It was pretty cool! Our server was excellent and quick with our needs. Everything on the menu looked so good, I was starving! First up, i decided to get "the beach drink." It was EXCELLENT! (You can also see my BIL holding up his drink in the background...)
My sister decided on a fruity type drink as well:
DH got a coconut drink of some kind (sorry no picture!) We got the sampler platter for an appetizer. It had wings, chicken fingers, nachos and spinach dip. Yum! For dinner, I got the rack of ribs, DH got the cobb salad, my sis got a chicken salad, BIL got fried lasagna, my niece got pizza and my nephew got chicken fingers. Here is my plate...oh, and btw, the fries were amazing!
Everyone really enjoyed their food. We had a great time! I was completely full! After dinner we walked around again to all the fun stores. The kids picked 1 stuffed animal each. It took them awhile to decide...so many to choose from! My niece got Roo and my nephew got a baby pluto...
There eyes are so red from the pool!
We stopped in at Ghirardelli Chocolate to get a free sample. There were a lot of upset people walking in and out of there because the ice cream section was temporarily closed. Looked like a lot of people were looking forward to Ghirardelli ice cream!
Next up, Disney Tails to get our Dog a toy or 2!
Now, I thought this store was going to be entirely dedicated to pets. I pictured 100 different toys and collars to choose from. Well, we get in there and there was literally one corner section with pet stuff. The rest of the store was just plain old souvenirs that you can find anywhere else!
Weird! We picked out 1 toy and a pretty collar.
We stopped by the Rainforest Cafe to see the alligator.
A few more pictures while heading back:
We were all exhausted, but had a great day! When we arrived back I had to say goodbye to everyone.
They would be leaving the next morning to go home. DH and I got back to our hotel at around 8:30. We relaxed for a bit and headed to bed around 10:00.
Tomorrow morning we will be heading to the Animal Kingdom in the morning with DH family!
I leave you with a cute picture of our dog enjoying her new toy and collar from Disney World! (Taken after we got home of course...)
) Loving you TR so far!! I am at DW right now and I feel your pain about the chips in Mexico....(although, I was lovin' them when I was eating them the other day!!!)
