We left off with Jen and I heading back to ASMu, me close to tears and feeling overwhelmed. I needed a break. Jen was kind enough to drop me off at the sidewalk in front of our building to make my walk a little shorter from the parking lot. I waited for her and we walked to our room.
We had a towel animal! I immediately thought the towel animal was a rhino. Jen said a cow...then a hippo. I think pig was thrown out there eventually too.
What do you think it is?
I still think it's a rhino due to the little peak on his nose. It remains a mystery towel animal.
I think at this point I called Marc and started to cry. It wasn't that I was having a bad time but I was hot, tired, cranky and my feet REALLY hurt. He made me feel better and it was good to get the cry out.
We both settled down on our beds, we had abc family on. I can't remember what we were watching at this point but we both fell asleep. I also don't remember how long we slept but I did twitter....
"Plans out the window...why do I fret about my itinerary for months? Hehe." at 5:21PM.
We both woke up refreshed and we were able to take a step back and talk about our Epcot Overload. We decided that we had planned too much consecutive time at Epcot. Originally we were supposed to hop over to MK on arrival day but because of the rain we stuck with Epcot the whole day, then we had another whole day planned. Too much Epcot = Cranky LL. I won't call Jen cranky because she wasn't. Hehehe.
We debated going to Saana but we just weren't feeling it. It had started to downpour outside again and I wanted to give my feet a rest. We started watching "The Prince & Me" with Julia Stiles. Jen had never seen the movie and we both got sucked in. We weren't super hungry yet so we sat and watched. This is where I learned something about Jen. She has to know how things turn out in movies, she couldn't handle just waiting until the end, she kept asking me what would happen. It was really funny! I was telling her that they made a "The Prince & Me 2" and that it was horrible. The only actor who was in both was the Prince! So we had a good time watching the movie.
When it was over we waited to see if "The Prince & Me 2" would be on after because we would HAVE to stay and watch it but it wasn't.
It was still raining outside but we decided to brave the rain and walk to the Food Court to eat some dinner. I was hoping the rain would stop so I could take some pictures of the grounds on our way back so I brought my camera.
We both had our umbrellas and it was POURING. We had quite a walk from the Broadway section too but we got to see the pretty grounds of the Jazz and Calypso areas. We made it to the Intermission Food Court. I went to find a table and Jen went to get her food first. And I waited. And waited. The grill area had a HUGE line and Jen was nowhere near the front of it. I texted her to see if she would get my double cheeseburger for me so I wouldn't have to wait in the line after her. She agreed. I took some pictures to occupy myself.
I am not sure what the point of the last picture was but there you go.
Finally, Jen made it through the line with our burgers and I went up and bought my refillable mug.
Delicious! Disney Burgers are just yummier then everyday real life burgers.
After we ate we checked out the gift shop. It was cute. I bought a magazine and some pins. This started the pin addiction of this trip. I bought Jen and I each a mystery box of Haunted Mansion pins. I think I bought.......10 of those puppies while I was there. Serious addiction and I still didn't get the one I really wanted!
It was still raining when we left so I didn't get to take any pictures. We settled back into our room in our pj's, watched some tv and went to bed. We had a date with the Magic Kingdom in the morning!
