The One With All The Birthdays - Day 17 MK & Epcot

[RobynPrincess]

Woke up this morning at 8:30am, quickly got dressed and headed to the lounge for some breakfast. There was definitely enough food for a decent breakfast, I had some croissants, bagel and some fruit. Sy had similar though he had cereal too. We grabbed a couple of drinks and headed back to the room to get properly dressed (we had just thrown on the closest things to hand before).


We packed up what little we had unpacked the night before and then called bell services to get our bags taken over to the villas and stored till our room would be ready and we then headed over to the villas to set up an email notification of our room being ready. The CM who helped us set it up was Allison, she was awesome! She was really friendly and chatty with us in June, and she remembered us. We chatted for ages, her sister was due to fly to London a few days later so I gave her a few tips. She had told me about her sister's trip in June and so I mentioned it, she seemed genuinely touched that I remembered We told her we would be heading over to the West Coast in May and so she shared some of her tips with us and showed us some of her pictures on Malibu Beach. She's a star!


About 45 minutes later (don't worry, no one was waiting for concierge while we chatted LOL) we headed over to MK via the boat.





We headed inside and managed to just catch the trolley show. I really felt for those dancers in the heat today.

It was a hot, sticky day so once the show had finished we decided to walk through the shops for some air-con... Well that was a big of a mistake! I came out with this little beauty...

Though about 3 weeks later after hardly any use, the bag coating had rubbed off in the corners leaving them all white In talks with Disney currently to fix it.


In the shop I was saying I wanted the cross body and Sy was trying to get me to get the bigger, more expensive bag! He's a bad influence I swear lol. It was so funny, I've been looking for the Haunted Mansion Dooney for so long, they have been selling out as soon as they get to the shops, so when I saw a full display of them I let out a little gasp. I was stood right next to a lady at the counter and she turned around and looked at me, embarrassing! But she then said 'it's ok honey I get it, there's one less there now' Pahahahahahaha least someone gets me!


Outside we walked up to the hub to get a sport to watch the new Move It Shake It parade. We stopped on the way and got some great Memory maker pictures.

Its not bad, I guess no one likes change. There were a *lot* of what looked like senior CM's mulling around watching it, how it was going etc. For those who haven't seen the new parade, there are these big screens that you tweet your picture to and then they appear on the screen... well apparently they do we watched the parade 3 times and the exact same pictures showed up every time. We even asked a manager why they were using stock pictures but he said they weren't... hmmm... they definitely were as we had videoed it on the camcorder and watched both and they are identical.


We sent in our pic before we realised.

After the parade we walked over to Sleepy Hollow, I was so hot, I needed an ice cream Sy got the chicken waffle sandwich to try and it was a game changer - OMG! I was totally not interested in trying it but wow, I loved it!

While we sat eating someone came over to me and asked 'are you Robyn?', it was Vickey and her at the time fiance, we were on the same fb group for UK Disney brides! How cool she recognised us! We chatted for a bit and grabbed some pics.

We then said goodbye and wished them luck for the upcoming nuptials and then made our way over to Pirates. Sadly it was down We waited for a few minutes in the shade, partly to see if the ride would open and partly just to escape a bit of the heat. I then got an email to say our room was ready so we decided to head over to the villas to unpack instead.





We got the boat back and walked through the Grand, we then realised it was afternoon tea time in the club lounge so we decided to stop there on our way through. To think we had paid all that money for tea a few days before and we were having the same thing for free! Lol

Full to the brim of cake and scones we made our way over to the villas and to see our new room. OMG it was sooo pretty! I took a gazillion pictures of the room and the view before unpacking and trying to find room for all of our stuff (murphy bed grrrr).

Earlier on I made some tentative plans with Karen to meet up later, they were coming to the MNSSHP so we were gonna head over to meet them before getting kicked out at 7pm when the party was in full swing. Sadly though Karen couldn't get the wifi to work (us out of towners have to rely on the sometimes rubbish Disney wifi) and so by the time she got back to me, the party was already in full swing and we wouldn't be allowed in without a ticket. While we were waiting to hear from her we headed over to the club lounge for more goodies.





Instead we decided to head over to Epcot to graze around the world a bit before watching the Eat to the Beat show which tonight was Wilson Philips - love them! And they were as fab as I had hoped.


Before the show we had tried a few different foods, I liked the chicken in Italy, the potato waffle in Belgium wasn't as good as I remembered and I positively hated the chicken dumpling in China lol. I don't have notes for what Sy tried boo.

After Wilson Philips we hot footed our way out to the monorail before Illuminations and the crowds and made our way back to VGF. We stopped in the main hotel to visit the Club Lounge for the last time. We had been chatting to a CM called Helen earlier and she was still there so Sy asked her if he was able to take a glass of the juice back to our room. She told him to wait there and disappeared out the back, she came back with a big pitcher full and about 8 of the oatmeal cookies Sy liked wrapped up in cling film! How sweet was that?! Disney CM's are the reason we keep going back


Back in the room we got ready for bed and watched Wishes on our balcony, before sleep came and we crashed out.
