Thursday March 13, 2008

I woke up at 8:30am and made the horrific discovery that not only were the bottoms of my feet throbbing and tender, but I had a huge, I mean massive, blister on the bottom of my left foot. Not the best condition to be in for walking around World Showcase! I took some ibuprofin, bandaged up my foot and hoped for the best.

At 9am I woke everyone else up so we could get ready for our day. Daisy and I had assigned red, white, and bright blue outfits for today. All three kids had jeans shorts on. Daisy wore a bright blue with white polka dots cami tank top and a bright blue, short sleeved, zip up sweater. Joey's polo shirt was wide red and white stripes with a thin bright blue stripe. Adam's polo shirt was bright blue with a wide white stripe and wide red stripe across the chest.

Aunt Pat and I both wore denim capris. Aunt Pat's knit shirt was red and white stripes. I wore a solid red polo shirt. David put on jeans shorts and a black t-shirt.

While getting dressed David mentioned DVC perks. I had deliberately not mentioned DVC or watched the DVC informercial because I didn't want him to think I was pressuring him, but if he was going to bring it up....

After everyone was dressed we finally had a chance to eat David's birthday cake from Crystal Palace.

Yes it is ok to have cake for breakfast when you are on vacation. The cake was absolutely delicious! Once we had all eaten enough cake to get us through the morning we headed to the bus stop.

I had to put David in charge of sunscreen for the boys. I got tired of arguing with them about what they would easily comply with for their dad. So while we waited for the bus he slathered them up with the lotion.

We rode the bus around to the lobby.

I needed to fix our dinner ADR at Garden Grill. It was the 4th and last ADR that was under our phone number but someone else's name. It was easy enough to fix and then we went out to the bus stop once again to catch the bus to Epcot.

As we walked through Future World we stopped at The Land and I ran in and grabbed Fast Passes for Soarin. Actually I didn't run because my feet hurt, but I tried to walk quickly. Once I had secured the Fast Passes we continued on our way into World Showcase. We walked over to Norway and found the restrooms by the viking ship. After the rest room visits I took the kids picture in front of the viking ship.

Then we went out to the walkway to wait for World Showcase to open.

***** EDITING ***** I must confess. Upon looking at the Photopass pictures I realize that we must have taken those shots on our way out not on our way in. *sigh* So I've removed them and I will put them where they properly belong. With my sore feet and drinks around the world this days is a little fuzzy!
 

sore feet are awfull!

I like cake for breakfast!::yes::

I love the matching outfits!
 
You all look great! Poor thing, a huge blister is NEVER fun, but at WDW it would really suck!
Yummmm to cake for breakfast!!!
Looking forward to more!
 
You know the kids will always remember getting to have birthday cake for breakfast at WDW! It's the little things.

Ouch! about the blister, how did that happen?

The kids look really good in the red, white and blue.
 
Ouch on the blister...hope it didn't impact your day......

That picture of the kids in front of SSE is the best. Doesn't hurt that the kids are dressed in matching colors....:thumbsup2

Breakfast of champions! :thumbsup2 Good for you! Sorry about the blister- hope you were able to make the best of the situation.
 
Oh Michelle a Blister YIKES! I got not a blister but a sore spot on my foot from where my croc rubbed the skin off. I didn't understand because my Crocs had never done it before then I realized two days after I got home that they were big and not tight so my feet were swollen and that is why they rubbed off the skin. I coated the shoe in Moleskin and hoped for the best.
 
Owwwie about the blister!!!

Cake for breakfast: what better thing is there? Oh, I know! Cake for breakfast at Walt Disney World! :thumbsup2

Alright, Michelle, you HAVE to ask Daisy what book she is reading in all these pictures -- the reading teacher in me is dying to know!

The PP pics in front of Spaceship Earth are great!

Yes the blister was bad. I should have changed shoes the day before in the afternoon, but I didn't I kept my flip flops on and paid the price. Lucky for me you can drink your way around World Showcase!;)

Can't wait to hear what you had to drink -- I am composing my drinks wish list! ;)

Thank you! :goodvibes

YummY! Cake for breakfast. We always have a Dessert Lunch on one of the days of our vacations no matter where we are visiting.

I love all the matching outfits. Because of you, I'm going to do the same for my family on a couple of days of our Feb trip. Great idea!
 
Blister = bad
Cake for breakfast= good

It was cool this particular morning if I remember, we were at AK. It warmed up but early, like 9, it there was a chill. I wonder if you were at Epcot all day? We were there that night!

This was Thursday and it was one of the hotter days of our trip. The next day Friday was the rain. ;)
