That's so funny! When we went for our honeymoon in 1993 I really didn't see the point in adults watching a parade so we skipped it for short HM lines. My sister and her friend were there at the same time and took lots of pictures of the parade. When we got home and everybody got their pictures back she had pictures of those freaky clowns on the giant balls and I was so glad we had skipped it.
I have been having trouble finding Disney stuff on U-verse (the search function doesn't search descriptions, only titles and actors) so I downloaded the TV Guide app and was able to find the show that was playing today and record it. I need to search again and see if I can find some more stuff. Not enough Disney Shows lately. Samantha Brown needs to do a Disney special every year!
I want to watch fireworks from the Poly beach but we are going the later luau and will most likely miss them.
I am so glad you knew what I meant by those freaky clowns!! they were just so random and have stuck in my memory all these years!
I wish Samantha Brown would have more Disney specials too, I really enjoy her shows a lot!!
Sounds like a great rest day! I keep thinking of MAYBE going to a water park one day, but we're already doing so much as it is...and I have to keep reminding myself, I'm not a water park girl!
Yay, 'Ohana! I always hear negative things about it too, but if people are so dissatisfied with it, why is it impossible to get an ADR there? It's seriously becoming harder to get than Le Cellier!
I'm with you though, I like the starters and the dessert the best, the meat is just whatever!
Can't wait to find out where you end up in Pop!
I am not a water park girl either, I love all of the rides, but to be honest it is such a pain to walk and wait in my bathing suit
I do love lazy rivers though, I mean how can you not?!?
I agree, if you dont like Ohana stop booking it, because it keeps getting harder to get an ADR there!! It is one of the hardest restaurants to get into I feel I like!! DBF already stated he is going to eat his share of meat to get his money's worth...Ill have to roll him to the Poly beach
Pool time is a must
We love O'Hana's too...one of our favorites...mmmmm lapu lapus...I didn't get one on this trip...they don't serve them at breakfast
Wishes and Hallowishes...I love them both I can't wait to hear how you like watching them from the beach!
We have really enjoyed our pool time at our condos this summer, so I am excited to be able to go swimming during October
Lapu Lapus should be an any time drink!! Then again you might not make it through the day if you had one at breakfast
I am getting very excited about watching from the beach, it is something DBF has never done and I have read lots about
Love your "rest day" plans...pool time and a visit to the Poly.
Even though its rest day, its actually one of the days I am most excited about
I love those relaxing days at Disney! This one sounds perfect
I wish I could go to Disney for 2 weeks and have more rest days in between, but work gets in the way of that!!
Relaxing days are always so nice, especially ones that end on the Poly beach. I know what you mean about HalloWishes, though. When I was there in December, all I saw were the holiday fireworks, and I had kind of wanted to see what regular Wishes was like.
Either way, you two will still enjoy yourselves and the fireworks!
I LOVE HalloWishes, but regular Wishes still has such a special place in my heart...plus Tim has never seen regular Wishes!!
Fireworks on the Poly beach are awesome! You won't regret that choice at all.
I can't wait to have my fruity drink, beach, and fireworks....and who says Disney is for kids
Looks like a good plan for a rest day! Can't go wrong with some pool time and fireworks from the Poly.
I can't wait!! I even have a hard time watching fireworks anywhere else, because Disney is just the best!
I actually didn't know that the fireworks were different on days when there was a party running. I geuss we're going to have to try and catch Hallowishes and the regular Wishes while on our trip! *back to schedule*
Your relaxing day plans sound amazing!
On nights where there are parties they have the HalloWishes..also the party nights do there fireworks at 930 instead of 9 I believe...but dont take my word on that
I'm hoping to have at lead one "rest day" on our next family trip... we've always been early to the parks, go!go!go!, last ones to leave. No wonder we're always so exhausted! 
Just had dinner at 'Ohana for the first time... so yummy! Will definitely go back on future trips!
We are going to be at rope drop as much as possible and running around like crazy, so the rest day will be much needed! The last few trips I didnt take a rest day and regretted it big time!!
I am glad that you liked Ohana! Its one of my faves!
Glad you had a good time!
