Today was scheduled to be our "down day/pool day" because I just can't seem to stay out of the sun even though I know it's bad for me... 
First thing in the morning we headed back to Animal Kingdom to try our hand at getting that "perfect" free photo again on Expedition Everest!! GR! After riding a couple of times and still not being happy with the photos, I finally decided to just PICK ONE (!!!) and move on! LOL! And just to let you know, that pic will not be posted on the Dis! Ever!
We had an early lunch at Tusker House this time (first time eating here). Very good for a fast food place. I had salmon with rice and veggies and an iced tea (and cheesecake - can't forget that!!) and DH had.... hmmm... maybe chicken again? (and chocolate cake, AGAIN) 2 counter service credits... (only 2 more remaining at this point of our trip - that's when it starts getting depressing!)
Right after lunch, we headed back to the resort to spend the afternoon at the pool. I was growing concerned because the clouds were starting to move in on my sun time! GR! We spent part of the day at the "quiet" pool near our building in Barbados, then the rest of the afternoon at the "main" pool which was too crowded to really enjoy, but I was too lazy at that point to walk back to the quiet pool.
Our dinner tonight was scheduled for 7:30 pm at Citricos at the Grand Floridian which I love. Headed back to the room to shower and straighten my hair (not sure why I bother in the FL humidity
) I am trying to think what I ordered here! I really should start taking notes instead of relying on my brain (it was almost a week ago now, you know). OK, I started with a sauteed shrimp appetizer (very good) and I *think* I had the NY strip - I'm *almost* positive! LOL! DH had some sort of beef appetizer and the filet mignon for an entree. Dessert was creme brulee for me (if it's on the menu, I order it) and DH had the Cinderellabration dessert (chocolate mousse tart). Dinner was around $180 with tax/tip. Used 4 table service credits.
The MK was closed early tonight due to grad nights, so it was a real pain getting to and from the Grand Floridian.
Our original plan was to head to Epcot after dinner (extra magic hours), but we decided to just call it a night and go back to the resort...
At some point today, I KNOW we went to Downtown Disney (lol!!) just can't remember where it fit in.. Actually, I think we went to DTD right before our dinner (that is how we caught a bus to GF). I upgraded my 6-day park hopper to an Annual Pass (woot!!) at Guest Relations there and then went shopping for all my little "goodies" at The Basin.
And, once again, NO picture to post on this day..... Gonzo!

Hope you had a wonderful trip? Are you going to post a trip report now? 
came with its own chocolate crown.. We were both marveling at what a piece of art work it was 
until... She mentioned "boy I got to get a picture of you with that for the Alpha males..." 
(which would have been lost anyway)... so in true alpha male fashion, I smashed the crown into a bazillion pieces 
with my fork and started eating it.
