On to the updates....
Day 4 was very, very rainy like I said before. We ate at Pizza Planet. The food was pretty good but it was a mad house in there. It was completely full. You had to wait for someone to get up from eating to get a table. There wasn't a free table upstairs, downstairs, or outside. CRAZY!
After we ate and wasted a few dollars in the claw machine we decided to go check out the Cars characters. We'd never had a character experience with them. We got over there and it was a ghosttown.
We then went and checked out Star Tours because Linds wanted to ride it and Joe being the Star Wars nut that he is wanted to ride it also. While walking over Josie fell asleep. They went for a ride and I just pushed her around store. I didn't get a single pic of anything in this area. It was just too nasty out.
Next we rode the Great Movie Ride (a nice dry relaxing ride) and then it was tiem to make our way to Ohana. On the bus ride over we met the nicest family from Toronto. It was their first trip and they were asking all kinds of questions about accommodations and the weather. This was supposed to be a trip of a lifetime but the weather wasn't cooperating. We chatted at length about the savings they could see if they came back and stayed at a moderate. They were staying at the Poly. It was fun to chat with them.
As we arrived Joe took these...
We then headed upstairs to check in. We only waited about 5 minutes to be seated. We ran into Mary and Jeff and the kids while up there. They were eating at Kona. We chatted for a few seconds and then got buzzed in.
Here is the view from our table...
We were seated only 2 tables from Becky and her family (ladybugmom). We said hi as we were walking in. The coconut races were beginning and Lindsey shot from the table. Becky and I ended up in line next to each other so we chatted some more. She is so nice and her family is so cute! Here are some pics of the races...
The food here is fantastic and they will bring as much as you can stuff into yourself. It is a great value especially on the dining plan. We really enjoyed the steak, chicken and pork. Yummy, yummy, yummy!
After that it was time to leave. It was raining buckets still so we decided to head back to CBR. We ran into Mary and Jeff as we were leaving and we walked to the the monorails together. I have to say that Mary's girls and my girls got along really, really well. My girls still talk about their new friends!
When the monorail arrived it was empty and we asked if we could ride up front. We were lucky enough to get to ride. Unfortunately only 4 could go up there because we wanted to bring Mary and crew with us. It was so cool. What a view! I'm so glad that we asked because as I understand they aren't letting families ride up front after the recent accident. This was the end of this day for us as we just headed to CBR afterwards...it was the longest, fullest bus ride ever. I thought my girls were going to explode. We made it though. I leave you with pics of of our monorail ride...
Up next...day 5 EPCOT and Seas Aqua Tour and another DIS meet!
