After Coral Reef, we were STUFFED. We couldn't decide what to do, so we thought we might hit Magic Kingdom for awhile. Deshea still hadnt ridden Big Thunder, and thats her favorite ride. So we grabbed the monorail, (we got the new Tron one!), and headed over to MK.
We walked in, and I swear, I have never seen so many people in one place in all my life. It was CRAZY. We grabbed the railroad to Frontierland ..
The waits for Big Thunder and Splash were well over an hour. We got right back on that train, and left the park. I snapped this pic on the way past..
The kids looked tired, and Jacob had been having this cold that just hung on for weeks, so they decided they wanted to take a nap.
Chris and I changed, and went down to the pool. We decided that we wanted to go to Epcot that night for Illuminations, which I had never seen.
After our swim and hot tub soak, we headed back to the room to change. I went to take my meds, and couldn't find them. Apparently they had fallen out of the backpack sometime that day! We tore up the room looking, just in case, but no pills. Side story when I came in 2007, I had the flu. I had to find a CVS to have my Dr. call in some meds for me. I went to the nearest CVS, only to find that there was NO PHARMACY. It was only a drugstore! So, remembering this, I got online and found the next nearest CVS, and called to confirm that they indeed did have a pharmacy. I got the sweetest lady in the pharmacy, who listened to my problem, and said that she could sell them to me for 79.99, but she would try to get a Vacation Override from my insurance company to save me some money.
Chris and I got in the car, typed the address in the GPS and headed out. It was only about 12 minutes away, and when we got there, the lady told me that the insurance co. had approved the override, and I only had to pay my $7.00 copay! I was SOOO happy! Thats a lot of souvenir money we saved!
You might wonder why I told this boring story, but I promise it has a point this whole situation was worth it because
On our way back to the hotel, we saw
THIS!
I cant express how happy I was to actually see it! I think I may have teared up or something.
So, the kids were gone somewhere when we got back. I cant remember where they went, and its not in my notes.
We grabbed the first bus for Epcot, and went straight to my new fave ride.. Test Track! With single rider line, we managed to ride twice in a row.
We were getting pretty hungry at this point, so we decided to look for dinner. I had been wanting to try Seasons, or whatever its called, so we headed over there. This place was DESERTED. I thought maybe it was closed, but it wasnt, thankfully!
I got a Chicken Caesar salad, which was VERY fresh and yummy, the chicken was seasoned and grilled, and just delish. I got the Strawberry Shortcake for dessert, which I really really was looking forward to. OMG. It was sooo good, and fresh, like they had just made it. I could have eaten six more pieces.
Chris got some sort of Rotisserie chicken, with rice and beans. He said it was ok, but didn't come CLOSE to the one he had at Fairfax Fare earlier in the trip. He got Key Lime Pie, which he said was pretty good, but not his fave of the trip.
After we ate, we headed over to World Showcase to watch Illuminations. It was sooo beautiful and the music was awesome. Sorry for the lack of pics, but again, my camera takes HORRIBLE night pics.
After Illuminations, we headed back to the hotel to bed. We were VERY tired. The kids were just getting back from the food court, they had gone back to Magic Kingdom, and then to the food court for dinner. I believe they both had the personal pizza, and both said it was just ok. We all turned in, I wanted to be at rope drop at Hollywood Studios the next day!
My thoughts exactly!
