We arrive at EPCOT right as a character bus was pulling up, DS got MM's autograph and due to the misty, drizzly weather they headed in early! We did not buy rain ponchos until we where real wet! Tried our best to stay inside attractions as much as possible,
We had a 1:00 PS at Alfredo's! We had tried an appitizer here in May and where blown away by it! This time, it was not what it had been! The appie cost $24.95 last time it was filled with 8 slices of 5 different kinds of meat, and piles of 5 different kinds of cheeses as well as olives and bread! This time we had 2 slices of 4 different kinds of meat, and 1 piece each of 4 cheeses, no olives but still the $24.95 price tag! WHOA! the problem is you have no way to know it has changed since you where last there soooo, DH and I both had a glass of wine that was really good, he had a red and I had a white, DS was not feeling great so we decided to finish the appie and wines and head out!
We visit a couple of more countries but it is raining steadily so we don't do them all,
Dinner is at Le Cellier! oh FYI, DH and I are pin collectors! we walk in at 4:30 for our 5:00 PS and the 1st thing that happens is the CM pulls on her lanyard with a HUGE grin and asks us if we want to trade, ok, we bite, she has 5 lanyard pins! we trade her for 4 of them and then she spends alot of time talking to my DS, he tells her that this is his B-day trip and she makes a big fuss over him! Food is great! will come back here for sure!!
We leave and head over to MK for spectromagic! (we missed seeing the Beach Boys!!) We ride Buzz and head to the hub to get a good seat for Spectro! AFter about 30 minutes 2 CM come over and ask my DS if he wants to turn off the lights to start the parade!! I am so excited! anyway, I had never seen spectro close up, I am 5' tall and unless I am close to the front I see alot of backsides! so right on the curb with no one in front of us, DS starts the parade and it is wonderfull!!!!
After the parade we go ride the tea cups and walk around to wait for the fireworks! As the fireworkds are going off, a CM comes up to us and tells us that there are a bunch of characters in the store and its nearly empty, because we live in Louisville, home of "Thunder over Louisville" the fireworks don't interest us that much. We walk in and HOLY COW we have Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Cinderella, Minnie, and Cinderellas mice all to ourselves, my DS slow dances with Cinderella for a solid 5 minutes, telling her about everything he has done, she is awsome, my DH dances like a wild man with Eeyore! By day a web designer/developer, by night an Eeyore dancing with fool!! Anyway, the absolute best WDW memory that I have ever had! Nothing is even in the same stratosphere as this evening!
We go back to the room, on the table is a birthday card signed by the characters and a AKL MM toy! WOW more chocolates on the pillow, room is perfect and we drift off to a good nights sleep!!
