Thanks! We use mainly a Nikon D80 but some of the photos are taken with a Canon SD1200IS.

You really should try it! You have to book 180 days if you want breakfast but its worth it! Yeah...well stay tuned...unfortunately that's what did happen.

Day 2 Part 2

So we soon realized we could head over to the Theater to meet our favorite characters! Mickey and Minnie.
So we walked back down main street and through the beautifully redone theater. We zipped past the 45 min wait and only waited about 5 mins before being lead through the main doors.

The detail here is really great! I really like this setup better then the tent where you use to meet Mickey. Though I'm very sad that Toon Town is gone...

Yay!

So then we headed over to use our fastpasses on buzz

I'm on the left! DH was so mad.

Did anyone notice DH's t-shirt? Well its a pigeon hugging a rat.....While we were in Tomorrowland....a pigeon pooed right on DH's shirt! Which....of course made me laugh because....it looked like it was the pigeon on his shirt. I'm a bad wife...and DH was totally annoyed.

So....after me being mean we got DH's shirt cleaned and headed over to my favorite ride.

I was so excited to see the new queue! and I was not disappointed.

DH's favorite new addition!

We had some playful spooks!

So I managed to get this shot.

 

[shippedtosea]

The standby was about 45 mins so we decided to pass on it for now and instead took a stroll around through Adventureland and back up towards Fantasyland.

Then we decided to take a flight over Neverland

By now it was around 1pm and it was so hot. so we went into Philharmagic to cool off.

We decided we also wanted to get fastpasses for space mountain again (did I mention this is one of our favorites) so we walked through Fantasyland towards Tomorrowland.

On the way there we found my TOP character on my list. (today I found pretty much everyone! I was so excited) See on our honeymoon I had a must see list and we were so busy we barely touched it. So we happily got on line to meet....

This was one of the best character meets! 'He' was so great.

After our awesome meet....we headed over to grab our fastpasses.

We decided to jump on peoplemover.

anyone wanna call anyone in tomorrowland?

This is such a nice ride to take a break.

So after our quiet ride we headed back over to Frontierland. One of our goals of the trip was to do everything we hadn't done before. So Tom Sawyer Island was our goal.

 

[shippedtosea]

It was def fun and cool to do something we had never done before. We went in all the caves which I thought were the best part. It was very hot though and being on the island didn't help.

So we had an early ADR because we wanted to enjoy all the nighttime fun! So we used our Big Thunder Mountain fastpasses before heading out.

Up Next:

Finally....I'm all caught up! We love CRT, too. We've done breakfast and lunch and like both equally...never done dinner, and probably won't. I'm not sure that the princesses are at dinner, right?

Nice pictures!!!

Yep the same princesses are at dinner just like the other meals. I would say the food was very good at dinner but we liked breakfast better.

Thank you!

Thanks for the info! Not sure why I thought that the princesses were not there I thought it was like the Fairy Godmother or something like that.

NP! I actually think it use to be but they changed it around a year ago. So now I think you can only see the Fairy Godmother in the mornings outside the castle.

[shippedtosea]

Sorry for the delay! Still looking for a new job! Went on a few interviews this week so everyone keep their fingers crossed for me!

End of Day 2!

Okay so first thing we did was grab our backpack from the locker so we could change for our dinner. Then we got the boat over to the Grand Floridian. So I really wanted to walk around but DH wasn't feel very good....so we changed and went to check into Citricos. We only waited about 5 mins before our name was called. We were seated at a nice table by the window! It was early so the restaurant was very quiet, it was so nice.

We were given special anniversary menus!

You can kind of tell that DH isn't feeling the best....

We were given bread and citrus butter. This is the best butter...I want whatever salt they put on it.

We didn't want to drink too much on this trip....because we are seriously 80 year olds and fall asleep when we drink too much. hahahaha

but this was our anniversary dinner so we ordered a Bellini for DH

and I got a raspberry pina colada.

So the funny thing with this drink was that it was the first day they had it on the menu and the poor bartender tried 8x to get it right! and then when this one came I was so happy I just started drinking....and about 10 mins later the waiter came by and said "Did you notice anything wrong with your drink?" After trying to get the flavor right he forgot the alcohol! hahaha So I ended up with two! They put so much alcohol in the second one that it would have been enough for both.

The chef came by to talk to me and was more than happy to make me whatever I wanted. He said he would make me a mix for my meal and then I could just take the meat out of the appetizer.

I got a carrot cream soup. It was amazing. I love soup and I'm so excited when I find a really good vegetarian one.

DH the chef's sampler. I believe it was a meatball, salmon and lamb?

His favorite was the meatball! the others he thought were okay.

This was my sampler. It was mostly different types of potatoes and veggies but it was so so good. I am a big fan of the mixed combo meals.

DH got Berkshire Pork Two Ways - Rotisserie pork tenderloin and braised Berkshire pork belly with Sweet potato Gratin, swiss chard and an orange blossom mustar drizzle. DH really enjoyed this. He devoured it. haha

So just to prove that DH wasn't feel well he got sorbet for dessert.

It was good but not a whole bowl full.

I on the other hand was feeling fine! so I got Warm Chocolate Banana Torte - Served with vanilla ice cream

Um....if you have never had this you should go eat here just for this! It amazing.....seriously.

We very much enjoyed our meal this is one of our favorite restaurants. It was a perfect choice for our anniversary dinner.

Although it was such a nice meal....DH was feeling sicker and sicker. So after our meal he decided to go back to the room...but I was at Disney! I couldn't just go back. so I headed back to MK all by myself.

I went first to Big Thunder to grab a fastpass then I headed to space mountain because I had 2 fastpasses now that DH had left so I jumped straight on! LOVE.

Afterwards I went on one of my favorites.....Carousel of Progress. Which makes me super happy. Its very weird to see it alone though haha.
