"Boy, have you got your lions crossed."- Lion King
When we came out of the Grand Floridian David was on the platform for the monorail and he was annoyed with me for not understanding that he was trying to meet up with us. Our communication was just off that day because if I had known he wanted to meet us we certainly could have waited for him and he could have eaten with us. However I didn't know and it didn't work out that way, and it made fora very tense ride back to CSR. The monorail was crowded and we had to stand and that didn't help matters at all.
Once we were back at CSR I took the kids to the pool and left David to work himself out of his bad mood. I think part of the problem was that the Richard Petty Driving Experience had been disappointing for him and he had not enjoyed it very much. Since it was his birthday present I was hurt that he was being so crabby about it. So while the kids swam I relaxed with an adult beverage, this time it was an Electric Ice Tea, which is bright blue and very yummy.
While I was sipping my drink I pulled out the certificate for a free 5x7 print the Photopass CM had given me after opening the Magic Kingdom the day before. I realized that it said we had to pick it up within 48 hours so I started formulating a plan for the evening that would including going to the Magic Kingdom. Since Daisy's request for the day was to go to a park and ride rides and evening at MK would work perfectly. I decided I'd try to get dinner reservations and we could eat dinner, go on rides, and pick up our free 5x7 picture.
Of course having plotted all this in my head I knew I needed to walk over to the concierge desk to try to get a dinner ADR and the sooner the better. I tried calling both Aunt Pat's and David's cell phones to get them to come to the pool to watch the kids, but neither of them were answering. So I sat and stressed about it for a little bit , and kept trying to call. Finally Aunt Pat showed up at the pool, so I left her to watch the kids swim and I walked to the lobby to make dinner plans.
I had my choice of a late dinner at either Tony's Town Square or Crystal Palace and since Joey had loved Tony's so much that is where I chose. I walked back to the room and discovered David was in a better mood and he had a plan for the afternoon. One of the other things the kids wanted to do was to go to the arcade and play video games. David suggested that we go to the Boardwalk area to ESPNzone since he had game cards from his last trip to DTD in Anaheim in January. I added in the idea of Beaches and Cream for ice cream and our afternoon/evening plans were set.

Can't wait to hear about ice cream and your evening! Poor David, that stinks that he didn't enjoy Richard Petty!
Can't wait for more!
You'll notice that I still control what we do with the choices. I have serious control issues!
