Hi Everyone!
Thanks for being patient. That you also for your kind comments. They are very much appreciated. My memory is failing me already. I really need to write the TR much sooner.
Anyway, we made out way from Epcot to MK. We wrode Buzz Lightyear (the kids LOVE it) and Space Mountain. This was my DD7's first "real" roller coaster and she absolutely LOVED it. She was so nervous before but she said, "well...I'll never know what it is like unless I really try it." SHe is such a smart girl!

I am so excited she liked it because my DH and myself love roller coasters too. I never noticed before but there is an arcade where you get out of Space Mountain. My DH waited with my DS as I went on with our DD first. Then I waited with my son and my DH went with my DD again. She really learned to love Child Swap as she went on all the rides twice. While they were in there, I put $1 in that little claw machine and got my DS the cutest little black bear. He was all excited and gave it a great big hug. Ought oh....my DD got off the ride and, apparently was upset I did not get her a bear too. I tell ya...sometimes mom's just can't win.

We also did the TTA, twice in a row in fact, as my DS2 absolutely loved this ride - except the part when you go in the dark. He became a pro at saying, "one more time" and tried this at all the rides.

We also rode Pirates of the Caribbean - my DD's all time favorite ride. Up until that point anyway. She know has a new favorite ride which I will get to, eventually. Anyway, we made it to the Dessert Party location at about 8:45pm. We had 9:00 reservations. There was already a HUGE line. They did not seem very organized that night. They gave everyone wristbands as we waited in line. We were then escorted to our table that was decorated with Mickey confetti. All of the tables were actually. I thought this was a nice touch. I felt the tables were way too close together. It actually made it difficult to get up and get desserts/drinks. It was a very hot night and I was really jonesing for soda. I just love my Diet Coke. Anyway, there was none to be found here. There was lemonade, water, and coffee. So...I just sucked it up and had water. There was a Photopass photographer there as well so I got a really nice family shot.
We could also hear the Electric Parade and see the tops of the tall floats. This actually frustrated my DD as she could hear it not see it. I knew we couldn't see it but I "thought" it wouldn't be a big deal...WRONG! Anyway, the desserts were just okay IMHO. I would liken them to the desserts at the buffets. My son liked the fruit and my DD liked the chocolate covered strawberries but that was about it. One thing that I was a little disappointed about was that the smoking area was under us and there was a slight breeze that kept blowing the smell to the dessert area. I'm not flaming smokers in any way - they were in there designated area - I was just a bit disappointed the dessert party was so close.
Here is a view of the fireworks...
Sorry...I just have a regular old cheap camera so the pics aren't that great.
When the fireworks began, we walked to the wall to watch. We didn't have to. We could have seen the fireworks just fine from where we were sitting. There was plenty of room for everyone to see the fireworks and they piped the music in. After the fireworks, we just sat around as they cleaned around us. Then we left. Am I glad I did the Dessert Party...Yes. Would I do it again...no. The view outside Main Street bakery was a little better I thought and I could save a lot of money by just getting the desserts there.
Anyway, after the party it was EMH. My DD was raring to go and, surprisingly, my DS had not had any fits that day. I learned to just roll with it and when he is having a good day...we have a good day. So, we went on a couple of other rides. I don't remember them all but I remember our friends left as we went on Pirates of the Caribbean, yet again. Their kids were getting stir crazy. I looked in the stroller and what to my wondering eyes should appear but a darling little 2 year old sound asleep. So...my DH and DD went on Pirates of the Caribbean without us. After that, we decided it was time to go back to the resort. My DD wanted to go on more rides but we explained it was time for her brother to get to bed. I don't really remember how we got back to BWV. I'm thinking we just took the monorail to Epcot but I don't really remember. Either that or we took a bus.
Next up...Park hopping with Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Dinner at Coral Reef.
Oh, by the way, even though I am nowhere near done with this TR, I have started a PTR. I am crazy!!! Anyway, you can find it here....
