We spent the rest of the morning walking around, looking at all the topiaries and flowers, and then headed toward Canada. Watched the O Canada movie, DS really liked this. We never made it back to England or France though. It was time to walk to Germany to get lunch. We headed over to Mexico, to see if the ride there had reopened, it hadn’t. We then headed to Norway, to maybe ride Maelstrom, this time it was 1 hour wait, no thanks, so we looked at the shop. Walked to China, there was some screening around the big blue building so I could not get a good picture. On to lunch in Germany!!
We got to the Biergarten right at our ADR and were escorted to our table. We shared with a family of 4 and a solo gentleman from Germany!! He was speaking with the host in German, and the host ended up taking us to a table right by the dance floor. It was great! I was not looking forward to another buffet after the Boma fiasco, but DH and DS were excited. We ordered a beer flight DH an me, and DS got root beer. Headed to buffet and I was pleasantly surprised, all the food was great!! I liked it, hey!!! This was an unexpected treasure.
We enjoyed our meal for awhile then the band came out!! What fun. People were dancing, lots of singing, music and we were all happy.
After our fun lunch, we took the ferry back to Mexico and headed to our FastPass at Mission Space. From all I had read about this ride, we chose the Green, or less intense side. We had our own spacecraft; DH had to do 2 jobs, LOL. It was really a fun ride, and I think we could have done the more intense side.
After this, we looked around some more and decided to split up. DH had to get some work done, so he headed back to POR and DS and I headed to MK again!! Arrived just in time to see the end of a parade, jumped on the train and headed to Frontierland. We were hoping to get on the Haunted Mansion!! Got off the train, and hit another wall of humanity!! I guess it was the line for Splash Mountain. We fought through that, looked at each other and decided we needed popcorn!
Got a snack and headed to Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. I miss that at DL, the Tarzan Treehouse just is not the same. We visited the Treehouse which was crowded and you really could not stop and look, just too many people in front and behind. As we left, DS called it a very scenic line!!
We decided that we should go, and needed to get back to POR to go to DTD for dinner.
Headed to VMK Central to get our last quests turned in and get our last card. Jumped on the bus to POR and got to hotel at 5:45. Just enough time to change and go get in line for the boat ride to DTD for our 7pm ADR at Raglan Road. We had to wait for a second boat, but it was a fun ride and we got to DTD about 7pm.
Walked really fast to Raglan Road, got there at 7:15, not problem and were seated within 3 minutes. Fun place!!! We ordered our appetizers, beers (not for DS, he got iced tea), entrees and settled in for a fun meal. Everything was great and we were very full! Watch for my dining report on the meal, but this is a great place for dinner! As we were finishing up an Irish band started playing.
After dinner, we needed to do some shopping, headed to
Lego store, Once Upon a Toy and the Pin Trading store. We looked around and did not buy much except some mickey backs for some of our pins! Visited with some pin traders outside and left to head back to the resort. Time for one last night time pool visit.
Exhaustion and the cold that DS had has migrated to me, causing us to shorten our pool time and we headed back to our room. Fell asleep quickly.
The Good: Mission Space and the Topiaries
The Not So Good: Missing out many of the attractions at MK. Will have to do DL soon.
The Magical: Our last minute lunch at Biergarten!!
