Tonight is our first time at Chef Mickeys. Nicole and I met up with the rest of the family and we were taken right in to be seated, well, after our picture was taken. The characters all made their way to our table and Pluto even came twice, this is my favorite picture of the whole trip
That is Jordans embarrassed look.
The food was very good, the only thing is that Jordan is allergic to dairy and every side dish had cheese in it except the soup and salad. Good thing he likes meat (the pork was amazing). Overall it was an excellent dinner and we did not feel rushed at all, the place didnt even start to fill up until we were leaving at about 6:45.
I havent really commented on the crowds this trip yet. We planned this trip for the end of the summer and to be away for Rebeccas birthday so it was Aug.21-Sept.7 and I guess a lot of schools go back in session mid August because there were hardly any crowds at all. Some rides had long lines but it was very easy to make a plan to do those rides first or fast pass them. We were even able to ride Toy Story about 5 times during the trip with no more than a couple of minutes wait. Most of the rides were walk on, it was great.
So after our dinner at Chef Mickeys we tossed around a few ideas of what we might like to do with the rest of the night but everyone was happy to just go back to the resort and hang out and swim. We took the monorail to MK then we had just missed the monorail to the ticket and transportation centre so we took the boat, it is so peaceful and quiet and the sun was just going down, and we saw lightning in the distance, very cool. The kids were well fed and very happy.
Dan and Mitchell and I were not interested in just hanging out and the pool was closed due to a storm (this happened quite often on our trip) so the three of us walked over to the All Star Movies (we were surprised how close it was). Mitchell really liked all the big icons from the movies.
Once we finished our tour we made it home just before the skies opened up.
Today was a nice relaxing day off from the parks, I think we all needed that.
