Kaylee & Alans Trip Report Day 13 Epcot, Beaches + Cream & Illuminations Cruise.
Day 13
Cast
Kaylee aged 26, first time visitor to WDW
Alan aged 28, second visit to WDW, first when he was 8
This was a late morning we didnt get up until 9.30 am and left for Epcot around an hour later. When we arrived we first did Living Seas I was disappointed with this and I only saw one Manatee. I was glad we had visited Seaword to see my friends.
We visited Canada and the UK and tried the chips to make us feel at home. Alan tried eating his way around the world. He tried Coconut Tart in Southeast Asia, Tiramisu in Italy, Lamingtons in Australia. Yasai-Maki Sushi in Japan and Champagnes at a free tasting. The Holiday Bus stopped and I managed to get Pinocchio, Daisy, Terk and Meekos autographs before they travelled off again. I did wonder what Epcot would be like without the Food and Wine Festival.
We walked to the Yacht and Beach Club to have Sundaes at Beaches and Cream. Alan had one called a Milkyway and I had a banana split, they were about $7 each and each one would have fed a family of four. We strolled around the Yacht and Beach Club and looked in there shops and over to the Boardwalk to do more shopping still trying to walk off the sundaes. Now we both could have done without dinner but we had ressies for Spoodles. We got a table outside so we could watch the world go by. Alan ordered Calamari but it had legs so he couldnt eat it. I had Roasted tomato and goats cheese. We strolled along to the DVC house just to take a peak you understand. Oh and make an appointment for the following morning. As the Boardwalk started to get busy we walked to the marina and met up with Anne and her mum and Kathleen her daughter from the American boards. The allowed us and Manatees family to share there Illumination cruise.
Our boat arrived and we all boarded. Cruise Captain was our driver and had lots of trivia for us. He told us about the original plan with the monorail through the Swan and Dolphin. We parked up under the bridge just past the UK to watch Illuminations. It was great we had an excellent view. Someone had a private party in France to see the Illuminations (I know you can do this for special occasions such as weddings). We dropped Anne and her family off at Epcot and we headed back to the Boardwalk. We caught a bus to Downtown Disney to do some last minute shopping, I brought more pins and more PJs, we also got some Christmas decorations here too.
We waited 25 mins for a bus to CBR, yesterdays packages had arrived and off to bed.
Next:- DVC Tour, Magic Kingdom and California Grill
