What a bummer about the train! But I'm glad you got some great character mojo to make up for it a little bit. And such a fun dinner at 'Ohana!!

 

[luvfigment]

Great character mojo is right! I haven't been in Country Bears in a looooong time. I kinda miss it and am sure we will be spending some time there in future visits. I love the picture of Bill at Ohana...so nice of the server to help you out. Btw your new camera is doing an amazing job.

We haven't see Country Bears and I'm thinking that DGD will like them. Yea on good character mojo.
I love O'hana, especially their dessert.

Morning came and as I got up and got around for the day I went to the kitchenette to get Bill a drink. I happened to look over at the manual chair they had left us, but what is that? Did Tinkerbell leave us something as we were sleeping? I hadn’t seen it before we went to bed… There were ramps, temporary ramps that engineering built for Bill. I asked him if he had seen them there the night before, he hadn’t noticed them either. We were both giddy. I quickly helped him get ready for the day and he tried them out.

He work to do that morning so I set the laptop up for him, the next thing I hear is “do you want to go to LeCellier for lunch?” I laughed and said “yeah we will just do a walk up”. He said that he was on the WDW website and there was availability, I couldn’t believe it, I told him to snag it. When he was done, we went to wait for a friendship boat, it was very hot already.

I spotted something and got really excited:

I just loved seeing the horse drawn carriage. I need to get over to the wedding board here and see if it was a DIS bride. The boat came and we were off to Epcot.

The beauty of the Canada pavilion always amazes me. We never spend enough time here just looking at the gorgeousness of the landscaping. I was yet again happy with my new camera:

We had checked in at the outside podium as we entered the pavilion. I had specifically asked for a table where I could sit next to Bill to help with the food. When we were seated they took us to a two topper when there were several 4 topper tables available. The server, noticed the disappointment on my face before I could even say anything and asked what was wrong. I explained to her what I had requested at the podium and she said let me see what I can do. Within two minutes we were moved to another table and with another server, Steffie. She was amazing, very attentive and sweet. All the LeCellier CM’s we have encountered have been great.

The camera worked in here too:

I asked Bill to smile and the smarty pants gave me this look:

I told him that stuff doesn’t work with me I will definitely post those kinds of pictures.

I got the New York Strip Steak and White Chocolate cheesecake:

He got the Grilled Pork Chop and some coffee flavored gelato thing with a surprise:

The Happy Birthday banner made Bill cheerful. As we sat a lunch we discussed what to do next. Bill said even he was hot just going to the Canada pavilion, would I mind if we just went back to the room? He is hardly ever hot so I knew it was very hot outside.

Off Kilter was playing when we walked by.

Continued in next post… How did we miss that? Pt. 2

In between the Canada and United Kingdom pavilions there is a building that is used for special events such as Magic and Merriment. We went there last December. Sometimes the walkway there is used to train new characters. On this day the doors were open and jackpot character mojo again!!

Then we went to see Donald, who was fantastic!! He pointed out Bill’s Birthday button:

As I headed toward a restroom, Bill took some more pictures from the tray:

Winnie the Pooh topiaries:

Before we left we had to visit with Mary Poppins, she is one of my favorites:

We loved the fact that we were just a boat away from our room:

The clouds were gorgeous that day, I had to take a picture while we were riding in the friendship boat:

We stopped at the Boardwalk Bakery to pick up some Vitamin water and bananas but I took pictures of the goodies:

Mock ups of cakes the bakery can make:

Later that night we ordered room service for dinner, then Bill went back out on the balcony.

We watched the high fireworks from Illuminations and went to sleep to the sounds of the friendship boats.

Next installment… Life update!

[Lesprivate]

Taking the boat from the resort area is my favorite thing to do. Great character mojo again.

Forgot to add, what a great surprise for Bill to go out on the balcony, that is why I love Disney they go out of their way to make things wonderful.

 

[oOJulieOo]

Seeing that a ramp was put in your room for Bill makes me love Disney a little bit more.

What a great relaxing day! A wheel chair ramp & surprise ADR at Le Cellier! Sounds perfect to me!

 

[ddstratton]

How great of them to set up a temporary ramp for Bill! I'm so glad that he was able to enjoy the balcony as well.

Bill has such great restaurant mojo, doesn't he? Just getting walk-ups or ressies when he wants them.

 

[eandesmom]

how wonderful that they made a ramp! Magical

I love that you were able to get same day LeCellier and has some MAJOR character mojo. Bummer that it was so hot though. Canada is gorgeous, just gorgeous.

I'd get all teary seeing Cindy's carriage, and then go straight to wondering how much that would cost. Lol. So magical looking!!

 

[Tinkermom76]

mmmmmm That update is making me want to go back to LeCellier!!!!

 

[tazdev3225]

That was so nice to have a ramp for Bill. What a greaqt way to relax.

I only ate at LeCellier once and don't think I'll be going back. The food is good but not worth two TS in my opinion anyway.

Bill really does a way of having the characters find him.

 

[Fantasia79]

Oh my Deserts! Great pics from Bill too! One of the greatest ways to spend a day; hanging around WDW

Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

 

[jenseib]

I love the sprinkling of fairy dust you got and a new ramp magically appeared! That is so awesome. I am glad Bill got to enjoy the balcony.

I love how is supposd to ber working....yet is still trolling the dining selections!
Yay for the score with LeCellier.

I was very pleased with the Canada pictures, I used one for my facebook cover. We were happy for both of us to be able to see Illuminations from our room then walk 5 feet and be in our room.

Thanks for joining us!! You are so sweet. We were so surprised with all the character meets when we weren't even trying.

What a great relaxing day! A wheel chair ramp & surprise ADR at Le Cellier! Sounds perfect to me!

It was a great day. Bill keeps saying we could have days like that if we moved to Florida. He keeps saying "we could hop over to Epcot for dinner Tracy".

How great of them to set up a temporary ramp for Bill! I'm so glad that he was able to enjoy the balcony as well.

You are so right about his restaruant mojo, it never ceases to amaze me.

I was very happy about the ramp. He loves LeCellier so he was happy about the reservation. It was brutally hot toward the end of our trip but we figured that might happen in May.

Last I read getting Cinderella's Coach was $2850.

mmmmmm That update is making me want to go back to LeCellier!!!!

We will go back even though it is going to be 2 credits for lunch and dinner in 2013.

That was so nice to have a ramp for Bill. What a greaqt way to relax.

I only ate at LeCellier once and don't think I'll be going back. The food is good but not worth two TS in my opinion anyway.

Bill really does a way of having the characters find him.

Bill is a character magnet .

I was so happy about the ramps, he went out there several times.

 

[Tinker_Tam]

I am usually one of the first ones to read a new installment... I see am slacking.

That is awesome that they were able to make Bill a ramp. I really do think I would have stayed in the room the whole time!

I know it had to be HOT for Bill to be HOT. I remember that he is usually cold... even in the best of weather. It must have been a new experience for him!
