Cheshire Cat: What rabbit?

Wednesday March 12, 2008 was our rest day/ kid's choice day. It also was the day David was going to the Richard Petty Driving Experience. So David got up early and took a taxi to his adventure, while the rest of us slept in a bit. Our wake-up call with Mickey and Stitch was at 9am.
One of the things Adam wanted to do was ride on the monorail, so I had mad an 11:20 am adr at 1900 Park Fare and planned for us to take the monorail from Magic Kingdom to the Grand Floridian. This turned out to be perfect because we go to ride the whole loop first before we went to breakfast.
Everyone showered and got ready for the day. The boys put on dark grey cargo shorts and green, grey and white polo shirts. Joey's was white with green sleeves and grey stripes, Adam's was green with a white and grey stripe on the sleeves. Daisy had a white denim skirt, green cami, and green and white wide striped polo shirt. Aunt Pat and I both wore dark grey capris and I wore a green polo with thin white stripes and Aunt Pat had on a white v-neck knit shirt. We looked very nice and dressy enough for breakfast at the Grand Floridian.
While we were waiting for the bus David called
and said he was almost finished. I told him we were on our way to the Grand Floridian for our adr at 11:20am. Now here is where a communication break down occurred. I thought that David was going to go back to CSR and rest and we would meet up with him after breakfast. David decided he would try to meet us at the Grand Floridian, he didn't tell me that though.
Our bus came and we rode to the Magic Kingdom and then hopped onto the monorail.
Getting to see the hotels on the monorail loop was really cool. I snapped a picture of inside the Contemporary,
and Joey took one of the Mickey Head flower garden.
The beach by the Polynesian looked inviting and I'd love to watch the Electrical Water Pageant from there someday. We exited the monorail at the Grand Floridian and entered the lobby area.
The Grand Floridian is rather intimidating to walk into, but I loved how beautiful and light it was. We got a little lost but eventually found our way to the check in for 1900 Park Fare,
we were slightly early since it was only about 11am now. We waited a bit,
and then we were escorted to a large round table near the buffet. I really liked the interior of 1900 Park Fare, the carousel animals were so whimsical.
We all immediately went to get food since by now we were starving. The food all looked delicious and I was especially excited to see they had oatmeal.
The children were especially excited that they had gummy bears. Daisy came back with a plate of food and a dish of gummy bears.
Joey seeing this went back to get a dish of gummy bears,
and Adam came back to the table with just ice cream with gummy bears on it.
Just then the Mad Hatter came by. He asked the kids what they were going to do that day and they said they didn't know. He commented "But your all dressed up."
There were not very many people there so we got a lot of time with the characters. Tigger and Pooh came by next for pictures.
Then Alice who was very sweet.
She wanted to see the autograph book and when I reminded her she had signed it the day before she said "Of course I did."
Joey was eager to meet Mary Poppins and when I told her she was Joey's favorite she seemed pleasantly surprised. Joey just beamed in the pictures with her.

What I'm amazed at is how rude a lot of the children are. They simple don't know how to behave in public. A 12 year old girl should know better than to lay on the floor and whine about how hungry she is, while an adult is explaining a piece of art to a group.
I'd skip that one too. Though the Pacific Science Center is cool. We have annual passes. 
Remind me what time of the year you went again? You seem to be having huge success with the low crowds! 
Did you miss school to take this trip?
We went March 8th-18th and yes Daisy and I missed 8 days of school for the trip. 
The crowds did get a lot thicker the closer we got to Easter.
