Gosh Epcot is my favorite park hands down. The rides, the seas, the land, and the food I love it but it’s. Exhausting! 8.7 miles walked yesterday and I slept till 8am! I never do this but the bed is so comfortable. I knew based on past experiences scheduling a rest day after Epcot was imperative to a successful trip. The girls and DH were still sleeping. This is where I wished that in the bedroom they had 2 queen beds so I could have a full kitchen and living room. I made coffee and sat on the balcony. I also had a little fruit and I realized I did not get enough to last the week or really in mom math I did get enough but it was the week that everyone ate strawberries and bananas. Girls and DH got up at 9. We had reservations at 10:10 at Topolinos. Yesterday had been a lot for DH. He was on a big hurt this morning. He also did not feel like eating the menu at Topolinos. It’s though there for a type 1 diabetic. I made him an egg and some of his yogurt. I also got on the app and was able to make him a 12:30 spa appointment at GF! He would be getting an 80 min hot stone massage. This would also give him access to the wet room there which is similar to the rainforest room on DCL. Both spas are run by senses. He was very excited and packed his bathing suit.
The girls and I took a Lyft to the Rivera. 6 bucks. FYI we were stopped at security and I had to give my name and he had to find my reservation. They will not let you get dropped off without a reservation. I guess people were doing this and taking the skyliner. DH had the same thing at GF asked his name and reservation number. We were 10mins early they did not give us an hard time that DH was on the reservation but did not come. We were seated right away.
We had a lovely seat by the window. First up was Daisy
We all got POG juice. Our server was great but was so busy! We were given out pastries and DD2 was given special dairy free ones.
We also got the cutest postcard with signatures on it. We also got one at Artist Point and garden grill.
My favorites. Theserver also let me order steak and eggs plus aside of waffle.
So good although steak was over cooked under cooked yesterday over cooked today lol. The best was garden grill!!! That waffle was the fall version with apples and let me tell you it was Fire as the girls say. Both girls ordered from the kid menu the dippers.
The characters were great the food was really good. Nice atmosphere but it’s loud. The real magic came when I got the bill they charged the girls as children!!! They did get kids portions so maybe that’s why. I hope no one got into trouble. We went out on the terrace and then went downstairs to inquire about the dvc tour. The girls love it here not sure why I’m not a fan. However the tour requires a 60min presentation first followed by a tour and they would only give me a 100dollar gift card. We decline and I asked if they wanted to ride the skyliner and I got a big call a Lyft lol. We were back at the boardwalk by 11:20.
We came back to a character party. Goofy, Donald, and Pluto
There was a photo pass photographer too.
