We slept in this morning and decided to go to Boatwrights for breakfast, so when I went to get coffee, I popped in to see about a PS. Important tip: Never let them tell you they will have a table when you get there. Insist on the PS. They assured me that there would be a table, they wouldn't be busy, I didn't need a PS. When we came back, we were handed a pager and told it would be a 20 minute wait. I was, to say the least, a bit surprised. Apparently they had gotten a sudden crowd they weren't expecting. Mind you, when we did get our table, I think the CM who told us we didn't need a PS had spoken with our waiter. The service was impressive, even more than is normal for Disney.

Then we went to Typhoon Lagoon. It was a bit crowded, but still fun. It has the best wave pool I've ever seen. So, DS and I went in there, Dh wasn't feeling well, so he vegged with a book. Then we went around Castaway Creek. Then I went into the pool again while DS went to the slides. Then the sky darkened, the wind picked up and rain started coming down in buckets. It really looked like a mini-typhoon. An announcement was made that severe thunderstorms were in the area, so we figured the better part of valour would be to go back to POR. It was about this time that I realized I'd lost a ring, so we stopped in at guest services on the way out to report the loss. By the time we got back to the room, a message was waiting that they'd found it. To prove I'm spoiled, my DH went back to get it, right away. I didn't ask, he just does things like that.

Back to DTD, to do a bit more shopping. Then we went to dinner at McDonald's -- I figured economizing tonight might give us a good restaurant at Epcot for our last night. We then went to Adventurer's Club. We took DS, who thought it would be boring. I know some don't agree, but we didn't hear anything that he hasn't heard/seen worse on Prime Time t.v. He really enjoyed it, and he wasn't the youngest child there. We left before the party started getting rough.

Back to the room on the boat,and another moonlight swim, looking up at Mars.

Next - Day 5 In which we go to Neverland.
 
Mortlives - What a wonderful husband! Mine would have said "you lost it, so you go and get it". (lol) I happy that you were able to retrieve your ring. I truly believe that there are more honest people out there than dishonest people. It's just that the dishonest people stick in our minds longer. :p

Great trip report. :D
