DAY 6: Wednesday, May 7
After our late night at Jellyrolls, Joe and I finally got up and made our way to the Pepper Market for breakfast. Today was Mel and Justins last at Disney and we wanted to plan something with them for that evening. When we got back to our room, I found a message from Mel. I called her back and Justin said she was on her way over. She was going to the gift shop and to pick up some coffee, so I walked over with her. They had been up late at Pleasure Island the night before, so we all decided to just hang out at the pool for a while and relax. After a few hours, Mel and Justin went back to MGM for a forth attempt at winning Who wants to be a Millionaire. I wished them luck, so we could all go on the cruise together!! Joe and I would meet up with them later for dinner at Downtown Disney.
I still hadnt walked through the Casitas area of CSR, so that was on my agenda for today. Joe was still recuperating (by having a drink at the bar) and wasnt interesting in more walking, so I grabbed my camera and was on my way. This whole resort was just so beautiful. I stopped in the first building and took the elevator up to the top floor to get a birds eye view of the resort. The buildings here were 4-5 stories high and closest to the conference center and restaurants. The Casitas had lots of secret garden areas and fountains. I wandered around for a while trying to find the spitting lion fountains, but I didnt see them anywhere. I picked up a pizza at the Pepper Market and brought it back to the Dig Site to split with Joe for lunch. On my way back to the pool I noticed a little girl peeking into our room. Mousekeeping had My Pal Mickey swinging from our curtains! It was so cute! (Thanks so much to our Mousekeeper!!! She really made our stay at CSR magical!) We did some more swimming then made our way to Downtown Disney to do some shopping.
Downtown Disney
There was a line at Rainforest Café so I waited to see what time they were seating for. It was still too early for us to put our name in (we planned to meet for dinner at 7:30). We managed to spend a few hours in World of Disney and by the time we got back to RC they were already seating out to 8:30!! We put our names in anyway. There was still an hour before Mel and Justin would get here, so we went in a few more shops and then stopped by the DVC booth. Joe and I have considered joining and I really wanted to tour the Beach Club villas. We picked up some info and a phone number to schedule an appointment.
Mel and Justin radioed us and we let them know we had a long wait for dinner at Rainforest. We met and walked over to Planet Hollywood to see if it would be faster to eat there. The hostess said it was about a twenty minute wait, so we went inside. We ordered a round of sodas at the bar upstairs (I guess we were all still recovering from last night). This place was packed, but it was only about 30 minutes before we were seated. I love looking at all the memorabilia and the music here is always great.
After dinner, Justin went to DisneyQuest and Mel, Joe, and I went back to the World of Disney. We spent another hour looking at watches and Joe finally decided on one to buy. We were still too full to get ice cream, so we just went back to the resort. I finished packing and we went to bed. Tomorrow we would leave CSR for AKL!!
