TUESDAY 29TH JANUARY
MAGIC KINGDOM/EPCOT

Woke early this morning as we had a breakfast reservation at the Polynesian for the Lilo and Stitch breakfast so we got the bus to m.k at 7.30and then got the monorail we waited for the next one to come and we managed to sit at the front i had not told Jack that you were able to do this as i didn't want him to be upset if we never got to ride up the frontso he was thrilled that we rode it and he was even more excited that he got his co pilot license at the end he told everybody this today he even made me phone my dad at home to let him know.
We got a pager and then got our photo taken when it went off and we got our table by the window this hotel is lovely and it was so relaxed and in no time stitch pluto and mickey came to our table i much preferred this to our donalds breakfast in A.K.
When we were seated out came a plate of fruit which was lovely the fruit at donald's breakfastosaurus was dry this was lovely and juicyand we also had a plate of coconut bread and danish brought out too much for two Lilo came around and spent time giving Jack a huge hug and then the breakfast came which was a massive plate of scrambled egg,wedges,bacon,sausage,waffles and sconesway to much for us two the charecters then came around again pluto tried to pinch jacks breakfast which jack thought was hilarious and then the waitress brought another tray of food out to see if we wanted more which i said no to but she carried on piling more onto our plate.Then it was time for the parade and stitch pulled jack up so he joined in coping stitch all the way round the room i had another cup of tea as the charecters came yet again and then i asked for the bill as we had been there an hour not once did i feel rushed at this breakfast as i had at the Donald one they were so helpful and friendly i would definately do this again and texted my friend to recommend it for when she goes in october we both enjoyed ourselves but when the photo came to the table it looked awful we both still looked half asleep so we didn't buy it.Breakfast cost $31.98 so i left $45.00 as we had such a nice time.
We caught the monorail back to m.k i was going to go into the Kodak shop to check out the photopass pictures but we spotted Pinocchio and Gepetto outside so we queued to get their autographs and photos and then the same with Gideon and foulfellow just a little further down.
I then got myself some Mickey ears with my name stitched on the back as i always regretted getting these when i was little (i chose a donald hat instead)we then started to take a walk to adventureland and stopped to have a photo by the crystal palace where the photopass photographer told us where most of the charecters would be that day and what to look out for with the special photos with tinkerbell and stitch he was very nice.We then walked on the magic carpets and then went to see captain hook and smee and had our picture taken with them.

Then we saw Malificentrode on snow white and then went back to our peter pan f/p.
We then headed over to buzz and then went on TTA where we saw that Space Mountain had broken down so you could see all the tracksthen into Stitch.
We then walked to the tea cups 5 min wait thenwe went over to toon town where we just managed to catch Chicken Little and we were told that Abbie would be out soon so we brought some chips and had our photo taken outside Minnie and Mickeys house and then we got in the queue to wait for Abbie to come out we then caught the magic railroad express to adventureland where we pressed some pennies by Splash Mountain we heard woodys round up so we headed to there where jack got chose to ride one of the little wooden horses and to become an honourary cowboy

We then went back to POTC where jack met Peter Pan and Wendy we then went to head over to main street to catch the parade on the way i got a yummy Pineapple float and then waited on the corner with the castle in front of us to record the parade this was a great spot i found out when we got home as the castle was behind the parade all the time it looked beautiful we then went to the Kodak shop as we missed it on the way in and checked out our fastpass pictures the lady was quite surprised at how many we already had on ther when i told her i had another card so she put them all onto the one card and told me that i should take a picture of the card of the code just incase i lost it which i thought was nice of her.
We then went back to pop for a little rest and to charge the camera and camcorder up as they had had a battering today and we had our dinner at the food courtjack as usual had nuggets and chips and i had a cheesesteak wrap and fries $14.10 and then got on the bus to Epcot.
Jack wanted to go on Spaceship Earth which was a walk on and we then went to soarin which said a 25 minute wait but it was actually a walk on apart from the bit where you have the preshow today was meant to be EMH but there was no sign of it in the park and when we was on the bus the driver said the normal times of the last bus i asked her about it and she said the bus timetable didn't indicate thet it was EMH but the parks opening times said that it was.
We went to nemo and nobody was on the ride all the cars were empty we then walked over to World showcase and watched Illuminations the plan was to hang about as it was EMH as it wasn't we rushed to the bus as both our legs were hurting and jack was tired from the early start and we didn't wnt to queue for ages for the bus we couldn't get on the first one the second bus came about 5 minutes after as it was loading on a wheelchair another one pulled up beside it so he started to load people on which was great and we got a seat on that which was a good job as jack fell asleep on the way back the first time in the entire holiday that he done this. We got back at 10.00 and filled up our mug then went to the room and watched some t.v as we were walking to our room we noticed that a car had been put in behind goofy's pop jets.
 
You dont half get around the parks Eloise :eek:

Another great report! Jack must have had a great day, getting the ride up front on the monorail, as well as being made an honourary Pirate and Cowboy! :thumbsup2

Looking forward to day 11 :)
 
Eloise,
Your planning and close attention to what's going around you has really paid off! You've managed to get Jack in the right place at the right time so often on your trip. Good for you. Let's see now--he's been a ToT elevator operator, a cowboy, a pirate, a monorail co-pilot . . what else?
A word about your tip at the Lilo and Stitch breakfast--I know that folks from the UK suffer a reputation for not tipping well in the US but I know it's not because of a lack of generosity. I think it's a great confusion for people traveling here from countries where tipping is not the custom. Tipping is expected by servers in the US who are often paid less than half the minimum wage and depend on the tip income to make their living. However, having said that--your nearly 50% tip was unbelievably generous and must have been regarded as a gift by your server. Rule of thumb for tipping for your TR readers who might be interested--15% minimum unless just dreadful or neglectful service; 20% if exceptional; more only if you are feeling very pleased (and well-to-do!). That was advice not asked for, but I've noticed the tip dilema so often in UK TRs.
Thanks again for your lively reports--and hi to Jack from cowboy country, Oklahoma.
 
what a full day
no wonder Jack fell asleep on the bus home
 

Wow, what an exciting day for you both. Not surprised that you were tired at the end of it all.
