DAY 2
Well I woke up way too early because the clocks had gone back and this was messing with my jetlag BIG time! What with our clocks going back the week before then the time difference and now the US clocks going back urgh! However the good news about getting up early was I was able to just lull about play on my iPad play on Facebook answer some emails and before I knew it, it was time to get our butts down to the lobby to meet Carol and Chuck and drive over to The Polynesian. This morning we were having breakkie at Ohanas.
Silly Men!
Once at The Poly we met up with our friends Barb and Stacy, it was lovely to see them and of course lots of hugs and chitty chatty followed but Im a woman and I can multi-task so I was able to also check us in, get our leis and have our official picture taken.
Chuck has pineapple allergies so its not a great restaurant for him and he hates it when we draw attention to his allergies but I was strict with him (yes I know hes not MY husband) and told him we were getting the Chef out because better to be safe than sorry and honestly sticking an Epi-pen in him wouldnt have been the best start to a WDW holiday. Anyway Chuck had a lovely little chat with the Chef and he didnt make much fuss.
Ohanas is a fun character breakfast location. The food is served family style with a platter of breads and pastries and fresh fruit served to us first. Great coffee and lovely juice... thinking about it now is making me want to go back sooo bad! The character interaction I have found to always be good and today was not an exception. We had Mickey, Stitch, Pluto and Lilo... well I say we had Lilo.. this nearly didnt happen she missed us, so I threw my little toys out of the pram in my lovely British accent, whiny way and Lilo arrived.

Our breakfast was very good, great fluffy eggs, sausage, bacon, good breakfast potatoes and light biscuits. All the food was piping hot and we got extras of anything we wanted when we wanted it.
I seriously cannot recommend this character breakfast enough and think its also great interaction for children as they organise little games and entertainment for them.
After breakkie Stacy headed off to meet The Divas whilst the rest of us hopped on the monorail and headed to MK.
We arranged to meet the rest of The Dreamers at the top of Main Street, the crowd level was low, the sun was shining, my belly was comfortably full, I was with my hubby and some of my BFFs and frankly I was feeling the LOVE, this was going to be a great day!
We had some great photos taken and then it was time to see the Main Street Entertainers do the trolley dances and numbers, very fun!
The Dreamers!
Pixie Power!
OMG there's Tink!
We then went and rode Haunted Mansion and experienced the new Queuing area I really like the interaction but hate to think of all the touching and germs and stuff.... ewww I needed hand gel LOL
After the ride we ambled.... it was an ambling day just because there were 9 of us... over to Jungle Cruise to get fast passes then to ride Pirates with trepidation because we were with Barb and usually a Big Group + Barb + water = Ride breakdown however we were lucky although Im not sure the people in the same boat as us thought so ahhhh well it could have been worse for them we could have been a big tour group from South America
!
After the obligatory Pirates photo
we went to the Tikki Room..... yay its back to how it was no annoying squaking birds, sorry I like it this way than the Under New Management way.
I really like the Tikki Room and again the park felt quiet, you can always tell if the park is busy because Tikki Room would be full ha-ha it was more than half empty!
Jungle Cruise next, we had a Cast Member called David and he was excellent. CMs can really make or break this attraction as you need someone with great timing and new material, especially if you have a tough crowd like us on your boat... David survived... oops I mean we survived, it was fun.
Then we ambled back to Fantasyland we needed to get Snow White in some went and rode something else I dont remember the rest of us went looking in shops and mooching then we made our way back to the hub.... oooh we got a great picture in the Gazebo usually for Princess Tatiana but she was off somewhere else but the photopass CM had some fun with us.
Back at The Hub and a party was going on, we shaked our booties down to the Move It, Shake It party! It was already then time for us to take the walk back down Main Street where we met with this very fascinating Lady.
Lots of jokes cracked about where we all came from, Tia is from Idahoe.... oh dear she read her crowd well and we were totally OK with some of the little, hush her mouth, un Disney-like banter ha-ha she was good not too much some great inuendos, we didnt want to leave her but we wanted to head out so that we could get over to Grand Floridian for tea.
