When our bus pulled up we got on and were the only peeps on there, sweet! I wanted to settle our bill before my credit card was charged so as the driver got to our resort I asked him nicely to stop near customs, whatever the bus stop across the road is called. Nope, didn't even acknowledge me, kept on driving.
I'm not one to be ignored so I asked again but added some feet stomping and a couple of big, exaggerated breaths (you know the ones I'm talking about) and a "what the h*ll?" for effect. He said he can't stop or he'll lose his job. Of course I don't want that to happen but we WERE the only ones on the thing. SO annoying... I ended up getting off at OPR and waiting FOREVER for the internal shuttle.
I got to customs and went right upto the counter and the guy hands me a bill for $100 something.
HUH??!! I only charged about $30, how can it be over a hundred? I scanned the items and saw that they were all from the pool bar. Oh. I forgot about that. Actually I thought Pierre was paying cash since he was doing that all week so I said there must be a mistake but was assured there wasn't. Really? Well, you KNOW I called Pierre and grilled him. He DID charge the drinks so I felt like a "you know what" for trying to argue with the guy. Whatevs. I can't be any more embarrased than I was during the whole pirate cruise fiasco so there ya go! Back on that W#$%$&%*%&^&&#^ bus.
I get to the room and Pierre starts hounding me for b*tching at him for charging the drinks. Yeah, I'm annoyed that he charged them but told him I was only mad because I thought they were charging us for something that had been paid in cash. Then he told me how much he spent during the week. Wow. MUCH more than I though but he didn't have anything to show for it. Which I pointed out to him.
He spent the most money at Cirque but I told him to only get Cooper a t-shirt, not all that other crap. I only had a few drinks with the exception of our pool day (those drinks were $9 each. I thought I was at the martini bar in Mohegan Sun forgoodness sake!) Although that drink DOES look good in this pic, don't it?
We chilled for a while then got ready for dinner which was at Whispering Canyon Cafe. Keeeeeetttttttccccccccchuuuuuupppppp!!!!!!
Bella totally sweats her some ketchup and I think I've established the fact that she ain't no prim, proper girly girl.
This was going to be HER kinda joint! Loud and obnoxious! We got to MK and went to the boat dock. Cooper was showing some photog skills again. this was one of the only times I wore my hair down. I couldn't believe how many other girls had their hair down in the parks all day. CRAZY! Way to hot to deal with that shiznit!
I think I took this one, or maybe Pierre did.
Looks like I did. Got this one of my pirates "Ahoy there mateys!" By the way- Bella always dresses like this. I guess it saves me money. At least she's clean. She owns 1 skirt and it's sweatpant material. When she wears it she thinks she's dressed for the prom.
We got on the boat and sat down for the quick ride over. The sun was starting to set and it look just gorgeous on the water! We stood on the dock for a couple of minutes just looking and I would have gotten a pic but my camera was having a brain fart. We walked up the path and saw the pool. Bella was in heaven!
I could see why, the pool is awesome there! I already decided I was staying there on a future trip and we hadn't even gone inside yet! We went inside to the lobby and were wowed, I loved the log cabiny look and the super high interior. The little bridge is a nice touch with the babbling brook, they ran over it a bunch of times. Video only, sorry! Of course I could do more of my ghetto pics but I'm not in the mood. Pierre caught us going in.
Now, this you might not believe but he went to find the bar... and came back with a couple of yummy drinks! I'm pretty sure mine was a martini but I'm sure you know that already. I found WCC and checked in
Okay, lets cut to the chase. The Lincoln Log table is about the best thing ever to hit a restaurant waiting area. Agreed?!
Bella and Cooper could have stayed there forever! Cooper kept making Pirate forts and Power Ranger forts (they looked like the same tower, mind you, but I was still impressed) and was telling me they are his 2 favorite things in the world. Um, I thought those 2 things were the cause of meltdown #1 and meltdown #5. KIDS! There were some other people waiting near us and they noticed Pierre's Patriot
crocs so they started a conversation being from MA themselves. The guy was bragging to us that he was the one who started the "wave" at Fantasmic on Mon. night. I thought it was the 2 cm's waving their arms in front of the whole audience but I'll amuse him. We were finally called in and seated, dragging reluctant kids with us. I can't remember our waitress' name but she did an okay job. She looked kinda tired but was very nice and has worked in Disney for 10 years, the last 2 1/2 at WCC. We got the Western cheese dip for a starter and shared it. Bella thought if was fab and is begging me to buy spicy cheese dip for her (she loves spicy stuff) but I don't get stuff like that for the house. She didn't sit with us too much, the LL table was calling her name. Cooper liked his watermelon, I did too! I felt like spending some more of Pierre's money so I got them each a drink with the lightup clips on them. Off the dining plan. Ooooh, I'm reckless! Seriously, the only things they got from us that week were a Cirque Tshirt for Cooper and Bella had to get new crocs because the strap on her old ones busted off while she was walking. She probably rigged them.
She was dying for the pink and purple Disney crocs.
I got myself a milkshake, still don't know why since I didn't drink it. I'll chalk it up to trying different things. For my entree I got the roasted chicken and Pierre got the skillet. That was a given, really! Cooper did another Annie Lebowitz sitting, geez I should pay him! I love these pics of Pierre and I, we had VERY few of us before our trip (as is evident from our Coral Reef menu)
I had to get Bella, practically kicking and sceaming, when our food came. This was her big moment, she had to get something that she can get some ketchup on so the chicken fingers it was. Our waitress yelled out the golden words (Bella helped) and ALL the bottles appeared. This left Bella foaming at the mouth and LOVING this place!
I started to eat my meal and saw she had the bottle in her mouth. "WHATAREYOUDOING?????" She seriously thought she was supposed to drink it and looked confused when I told her no! What is wrong with her??!! OMG? I'm still shaking my head over that one.... Here's Pierre's skillet.
I really didn't eat much, my chicken wasn't that great, not too bad, but kinda blah, bland. Pierre felt the same about his skillet, nothing really stood out. A waitress near us yelled out for a black crayon and Bella ran over there 100 miles an hour, laughing the whole time. The waiter at the table next to us was AWESOME, he was really loud and obnoxious (like Bella, but he was a grown man, LOL!) and made the woman sitting there ride a pony around singing Happy Birthday to herself. We got some dessert, Cooper got Worms in Dirt and Bella got cinnamon apples (and she stole half of Cooper's worms when he wasn't looking). I got the S'mores cheesecake and it was totally yummo! Couldn't finish it but it is worth ordering. Oh, just remembered why I could'nt eat it all. Pierre didn't want dessert so I got to order his too- the cinnamon tortilla icecream. THAT was even better than the cheesecake! After our meal I tried to give away my last child TS credit but no one needed it. Oh well, I tried to spread the magic!
Now, while the food was just so-so we are absolutley going to eat here again for the atmosphere. Loved it!
I snapped these adorable pics on the steps outside of the restaurant.
We went down to the boat dock and found out the boats were done for the night. Oh no!!! We backtracked to the bus stop, looking into the daycare room on our way. That's it! We are deffo staying here next time! There were no more buses running to MK so we ended up having to go to Pleasure Island and wait for ANOTHER bus to take us back to CBR. Ughhh. When we got into our room I started to sort out stuff and pack. Sniff, sniff!
I keep promising to log on and post but I just haven't found the time. In fairness (and Leyla will attest to this!), grad school is kicking my **** right now, so my time is pretty limited. But now that I've been directly ordered to stop lurking, I guess I had to give in 
I have been to
