Day 5 -- Monday, March 12
Cast:
Me, DH K-man, DS J-boy (age 5), and DS The Beast (age 2, almost 3)
Off to the Cape May for a âÂÂrealâ breakfast!
Minnie is âÂÂholding courtâ in the lobby. I love MinnieâÂÂs shoes. I want a big pair of yellow high heels. They are just too, too cool.
The characters were Goofy, Chip and Dale. Of all the character meals weâÂÂve been to (Artist Point and Chef MickeyâÂÂs), this had the best interaction. We saw everyone at least 3 times. Chip (or was it Dale?) spoon fed a birthday cupcake to J-boy. Goofy âÂÂstoleâ Mouse Ears. CMs gathered to sing Happy Birthday. Overall a great time. Pretty good buffet food, but great characters.
When we get back to the room, there is a string trio practicing for another wedding right below our window. The music sounds so beautiful. K-man and I start joking that they couldnâÂÂt, wouldnâÂÂt play Beauty and the Beast. It would be inappropriate for a wedding. WhoâÂÂs the Beast? would be the guestâÂÂs question! We laughed. The trio turned the page and sure enough....itâÂÂs Beauty and the Beast.
But that wasnâÂÂt the worst song they practiced. They also played Whistle While you Work. When do they play that, during the kiss??
Oh well, IâÂÂve probably just insulted one of your weddings. Sorry.
We checked out before the actual ceremony and heading toward the Florida Mall looking for the Play Mobil Fun Park store. If your kids arenâÂÂt into Play Mobil toys, they are about 3â action figures that are perpetually smiling. We have a few. Preschool has more. TheyâÂÂre super high quality, are not tied to any TV show, and are just plain cute.
Well, the boys play for about 45 minutes, and I drop about $35 (some of it is birthday presents).
To the airport....a totally uneventful trip back. ThatâÂÂs the best kind of plane trip.
Home again, home again to snowy, cold Ohio.
Final Thoughts:
WDW vacations with minimal parks is Fun and Relaxing. IâÂÂd do it again in a second. IâÂÂm a âÂÂcommandoâ Type-A person by nature, so it was hard to relax, but well worth it.
The difference between taking a 4 1/2 year old and a 5 year old is huge! He walked, he didnâÂÂt whine nearly so much. Tons more fun.
EE! EE! EE! What isnâÂÂt there to love?
Aggressive birds must die!
WDW really went all out making J-boyâÂÂs birthday âÂÂmagicalâÂÂ. The special comments, cupcakes and presents from Captain Bob were more than I ever imagined.
We accumulated 5 soaps. If you figure out the price per soap....no I wonâÂÂt do it, itâÂÂs too depressing.
Why canâÂÂt a first class hotel offer first class tissues? Come on, Mr. Eisner, spring for real Kleenex or Puffs!
The YC front desk was iffy. They didnâÂÂt know where I could get fill-ups on the refillable mugs, they didnâÂÂt know how to get checkers, .... Ok, but not terrific.
I missed a âÂÂRoaring Forksâ type place to eat or grab snacks. I know they want me to snack from the mini-bar, but frankly...there are no Mickey-Bars in the mini-bar. Also, when we got a Fairy Godmother sitter, I had to walk all the way to the Boardwalk Bakery to get a light supper for the boys. Yes, I could have ordered room service, but.....
This trip had great character interaction.
How does anyone go to the World without the DIS? IâÂÂve been lurking for about 9 or 10 months, and just felt I had a real leg up on the average tourist. If knowledge is power, you have made me powerful. Thanks.
