Day 4: Tuesday, June 23 *continued*
We left off being disappointed about the balloon being closed down, especially since we had seen it going all morning until we got there! We were on the West Side, so we stopped and looked in the surf shop there, which had Roxy etc. stuff there. Everything was ridiculously priced so we left and went to the Harley Davidson shop. B/F was drooling over the two bikes they had in the windows. Haha. Sis got her B/Fs dad an awesome shot glass while we were there.

Then, we headed to
Legoland for B/F. Every year, he always buys something new to build and then usually puts it together when we come back to the room every night. But, this time they didnt have very much cool stuff that he likes. Plus, the store was packed and crazy so we got out of there and went to the World of
Disney store.
This is where we get our phones out of our purses and into our pockets and put them on vibrate! We easily get split up and call each other when were ready to check out. I found a cute tank:
And this cute Precious Moments of Wendy holding a lantern with Tink in it:
And this cute Tink frame:
I also got a Mickey tank, which youll see on me another day and Ill tell you its that one.
B/F and I met back up with the others and found some really cute stuff for the little guy. Then, we headed to the check out. I was so excited to finally use my Disney rewards gift card!
After WoD, we headed to the Team Mickey store. B/F found some really nice swim trunks that were on sale so he got those. I think Sis got some Minnie cheerleading stuff here, but I cant remember! I was too busy looking in Tren-D after B/F got his shorts! Haha.
Heres a pic outside the store from inside Team Mickey. I took this on my cell phone and sent it to

Tren-D was awesome. Im so mad at myself for not taking pictures. They had beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling in different colors. They had some beautiful stuff in there, but nothing that really caught my eye.
After Tren-D, we headed to the Christmas shop. Every year, B/F, Sis, and I each get to pick out an ornament for on the tree. Mom puts our names and the year somewhere on it as well.
Heres the one I picked out. Again this is from my cell phone and sent it to
xoktnox:
After the Christmas shop, we decided it was time to head to the Margarita Stand! We visit it every year and then find a table along the water to sit, relax, talk about everything we got, and what we want to do the rest of the day. This spot was probably my Grandparents favorite part of DTD when they came with us in 2001. B/F and I were excited to finally get beer like the adults because the past years have taunted us because we were so close to 21. haha.
Here we are enjoying the drinks and the view. I covered up the bottles because I didnt know what the rules were on the DIS about that:
Yep, just noticed that Sis blinked. Haha.
After our drinks, we decided it was time to head to lunch. Mom, Dad, and Sis were planning on going to Planet Hollywood, while B/F and I were going to Wolfgang Puck. They came over with us, looked at the menu, and decided to eat with us instead! It was cool because the whole time we were eating, there was a group of people and a film crew taping them right outside! They were taping them walking and talking, and then some of them individually..Everyone in the restaurant was watching them. Haha.
I got the California Roll because I LOVE sushi, Mom got the Ravioli, and Dad, Sis, and B/F shared two pizzas- 1 was sausage and 1 was four different cheeses or something. I tried bites of the ravioli and pizzas, and everything was yummy! We will definitely eat here again.
We decided to head back to OKW and swim a bit before going to Epcot for evening EMHs. When we got to the West Side bus stop, there was already an OKW bus there! We ran and got on it, good thing we did because the sky started turning darker and looked like it was going to pour any second. We got back to the room and went out on the balcony. There were people still swimming, but a few minutes later, a lifeguard pulled up and started blowing the whistle and telling them to get out. Well, there went that plan!
So, we got changed and headed to the bus stop for Epcot.
~Up next: Evening EMHs at Epcot Will we get poured on?
What a fun night! I bet the TOL is just gorgeous at night...
Don't keep us in suspense too long.
saratoga springs!!!! i know a lot of people have mixed feelings on it because it's not close to any parks but i loved being able to walk to DTD at any time and i just thought it was so peaceful and pretty there.
i would go back there in a heartbeat but we are trying VWL next trip, which isn't until december 2010. we want to stay there for christmas because i hear the decorations are amazing.
