Day 2: The Start of a WDWonderful Day!
We started our day with a leisurely breakfast in the club lounge. Now might be a good time to do a bit of screaming about how great the club level CMs are at the BWI...THEY ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST! THEY ARE WONDERFUL, KIND, SWEET, FUNNY, HELPFUL...well you get it...they were A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
I couldn't have asked for more welcoming, friendly or helpful staff. I was VERY impressed with each of the CMs I met. I think they all deserve many thanks and a great big dose of Disney pixie dust. They were (to the very last person) great! Their were two staff members who really took
Goofy under their wing. At breakfast on this day we met one of them, Lorenzo. He took to calling
Goofy by the names "G-Man" or "G-Money" every time he saw him. He was never too busy to come over and visit, to ask about our day, to suggest things that we shouldn't miss. Most days when we walked in to eat breakfast a welcoming "Hey there G-Man" would ring out across the lounge. It was so nice to see
Goofy drawn out of his shy shell. Lorenzo is tops in my book! Exceedingly wonderful! I am very grateful for his attention to my birthday boy and the way he took the time to make my little
Goof feel like the most special guest ever. The precious laughter that he drew out of
Goofy was music to my ears!
As
Goofy laughed his way through our breakfast we dined on bagels, fresh cut fruit (pineapple, two kinds of melon and grapes), yogurt, cinnamon rolls (
Goofy's favorite) and chocolate milk. The breakfast offerings are the same each day and we chose to repeat our favorites over and over again so I won't take the time to describe the foods at breakfast again. However, for those who are interested in the BWI Innkeeper's Club breakfast offerings they also offered: cereals (four or five different kinds), white milk, orange juice, water, jelly filled pastries, croissants, toast, bananas, whole apples, whole oranges, grapefruit halves and apple juice. Those offerings were in addition to the ones we enjoyed that morning. There was also a coffee machine that made lots of coffee based treats as well as dispensed hot chocolate which was available all day. In addition, they had a selection of teas out at all times.
Following breakfast we made our way out of the resort. I (of course) snapped a few pictures while we did.
Goofy was entranced with the four legged characters which popped up everywhere. He always wanted me to snap their picture.
Our plans for this day took us first to the Yacht Club for some more arcade time, exploration and then lunch. Getting there was very easy. We were planning on walking but we saw the friendship launch approaching the dock as we walked out on to the boardwalk so we hopped aboard instead. Once again, I took pictures along the way.

Goofy really liked the "bridge with the ship in it".
