Thursday Am and we are off to Cindys Castle for Breakfast. My DH had memories of eating there as a child with his parents and wanted to go back, I had never been there before.
My DS was very apprehensive and unhappy about having breakfast with a "bunch of Princesses" "No Autographs" he stated, "all my friends will make fun of me." But once cinderella came to his table and called him her prince, and treated him like one, he was a changed child! He couldnt wait to meet them all. The food was good, the service wonderful and the view was great, I would recommend this restaurant to all.
We were then off to do all things MK, POTC, JC, splash Mtn and Space Mtn. THM, IASW, HOP(my personal favorite)CBJ,PPF, SWA, we did them all, some more then once. We did have to leave MK early as we had the Breathless booked for the illuminations cruise. When we booked the cruise they had told me we would be picked up at the Boardwalk dock. We drove over to the Boardwalk hotel, and went to the dock, just to find out it picked us up across the lagoon at The Yacht Club dock. We drove around to the Yacht club, and found the dock with"Angelo" our driver waiting for us. It was a beautiful starry night, and once all of the pontoon boats were boarded we left(it seems all boats go out together), The cruise was absolutely worth every penny even without the fireworks, I couldnt believe the breathless was just for the 3 of us. We cruised around the waterways before illuminations for about 1/2 hour. It was beautiful, with all of Disney lit up at night, the water was like glass, it was breathtaking. We parked under the bridge to watch illuminations, and it was great! Angelo couldnt have been nicer, and what a great way to experience illuminations. I would recommend this cruise to everyone. It has to be my best memory of this entire trip! After the cruise we had dinner at Beaches and Cream, (our first time there, thanks to the Dis boards) and was very good.
If you get a chance to go on the Breathless, dont miss it, it is the most wonderful, magical thing you can do at Disney!!!
 
thanks so much for your great report........sounds like such a magical time on the cruise.....will remember that when we go again........thanks
 
How old is your son?? Also, how do you book the Breathless?? Is it expensive??
 
Hi there... great reports, funny how your DS changed his tune about the princesses!

We had Angelo as our captain too when we went on Breathless August 22nd... only problem was that it was POURING rain and Breathess is not covered like the pontoon boats... oh well :)

They reduced our rate because of the pouring rain... from the 185.00-ish? and only charged us 120.00

>>^..^<<
 

Did you by any chance have the Kitchen Sink? I have seen it on the Travel Channel and it looks like it would feed a small army. Oh well, you only live once - right! :D

Great trip report. :D
 
Pnelson: My DS is 9, ya know that age when everything is starting to embarrass them. LOL

To book the Breathless call 407-WDW-PLAY I think there hours are 7am to 10pm, I just called one nite, I was trying for a Pontoon boat, but they were all booked, but the Breathless was available, so I booked it not sure of what it would be like. It cost aprox $180 to book the boat. Then Angelo (the captain) was so wonderful we gave him a very nice tip.

I cant say enough good things about it, definately the highlight of our vacation. Hope you get to rent her when you go,you wont be disapointed.

Tinawv: We didnt have the Kitchen sink but the table behind us did, there were 6 of them and I dont think they ate half of it, it was huge!!
 
Thanks for the great trip report. I have a stupid question. What ride is HOP?
 
Angelrose,

Not a stupid question at all, HOP is not really a ride, it is the attraction Hall of Presidents. My favorite, always makes me cry, while my DH and DS take a quick nap. LOL
 
Thanks. That was driving me crazy. LOL I love the Hall of Presidents too. I get goosebumps when I see Lincoln moving. THey all look so real.
 
Wonderful trip report ~ Thanx for sharing!!!
