so back to my thrilling
trip report.
as you will recall we were trying to make it to chef mickey's for our ressie and had barely made it due to a loooonnnggg wait for the bus. as we trid to jog (ok lance sort of shuffled along like igor in young frankenstien)
but we made it in.
man what a view the contemporary has. Unbelievable. but we had to hustle in the restaurant and get our pic taken by the statue and then get seated.
for the record I had suggested the breakfast buffet at cape may but was out voted and the food was ok here but I prefer cape may for the food. the characters were great and miss scarlett thought it was way fun. they had a decent variety and even had lance's favorite salmon. memo to self, don't let hubby eat plate fulls of salmon at a buffet that is geared for kids. I think it may have not been changed out like some of the other stuff. For the record I did point this out to him but what would I know about that sort of thing.
they even brought out cupcakes for our anniversary and one for an early birthday for the little miss. she had a blast and now it is official, she has become "one of us" she had her first mickey waffle.
after breakfast we took a few minutes to enjoy the view from up here. I tried to explain to dear hubby that I could save him tons of money and we could have this view from our room if we bought into the DVC. he said we could stay at the regular moderates and visit the contemporary to enjoy the view
jeesh just trying to help.
after a bit we went to the monorail (which I really really like out here ours is just too short of a ride and it is more of a ride than a form of transportation ) and went to epcot.
we had been telling randy all about this great soda that we had tried here and just could not forget about. so we jumped on to or into the golf ball of world history and then off to club cool.
since we had not planned to be in any parks today (but thanks to magic bands from heck) we had a day of tickets to use so we decided to freestyle it today. but first a trip to have the son in law try that unique soda. oh and we saved that one for last. after trying all the different sodas we had to hunt for a working Beverly tap. I didn't get the camera ready in time but his face was so funny and then he said "you guys LIKE this" no we assured him we did not we just said it was unforgettable. he agreed. but then he though it might not be bad to have some of that at home. we all figure that when that one inlaw or friend that likes to drink all your good wiskey or rum you can tell them some big story about how this Beverly soda makes a great mixer and enhances the flavor of your liquor and therefore the only way to have it is to mix it with Beverly. and ta da your liquor supply stays intact.
we then decided to hit up the world showcase since we had no fp lined up. first stop mexico and it's a small Donald world.
scarlett thought it was pretty spiffy on the ride and we of course had to show the kids the tequila cave. I got a pom promer, proma, (oh you know the red fruit that has all the little red things inside and is supposed to be so good for you) margarita as did shawndell the guys passed and shared ours.
it was very strong but also very good.
we continued on to Norway and man was that place packed. huge lines for the frozen meet and greet but we bypassed that and went on maelstrom. this is a nice little ride and since lance needed to sit for a bit we finally watched the movie. it is really pretty.
Lance was running out of steam pretty quickly so we went around to Germany to show the kids the train set and we took the boat back to the front the kids hung out for the rest of the day.
we went back to kick back and raise the leg on some pillows and by the tie we got back lance not only had to rest his leg but his tummy as well (I tried to tell him to not eat so much luke warm salmon but
not too bad just major stomach ache. so I went and to him some sprite and we just kicked back for the rest of the day.
so far this vacation is not going all that well.
things I think
I think we need to take the rest of the day and evening off.
I also think that we need to consider renting a
scooter for lance.
I think we have gotten lucky with the tour groups and am very glad not to have any of those stories to share
I think lance needs to listen to his wife a bit more (just sayin)
I think that the view from the contemporary is breathtaking
I also think that we need too figure out a way to stay there sometime (dvc maybe>)
well folks the shaking here in so cal has finally subsided but there were some shaking going on sat and sunday. always interesting when that happens. we used to joke that it was not really an earthquake until you were out in your driveway in your jammies asking the neighbors "did you feel that"
now it seems it isn't a real earthquake until your facebook feed loads up with posts saying "did you feel that"
seriously any of you with so cal friends on your facebook know what I am talking about I am sure.
take care and thanks for reading, have a great week
sunny florida to escape the cold (we felt their pain) they were nice kids and figured it would fun to see lights motors action since they feature a brazillian driver. also glad to see so many folks from back home. for the record we ran into lots of tour groups and they were very pleasant and friendly.

. also at the party was mickey Thompson's son danny and his first wife too. so fun to see her again. last time I saw Judy I was still in elementary school.
