This was our first time at Coral Reef, it was pretty nice in there & our CM was very good. He was extremely helpful, especially later!
Emily ordered the childs chicken breast & ice cream for dessert, Anne, Bob & I ordered the strip steak. Bob ordered his usual adult beverage, beer. I know that I got some sort of drink, but Ive forgotten what it was! Kelly wanted pizza & ice cream. Anne told her that she couldnt get the ice cream with pizza as it didnt come with it. Anne placed their orders & I heard her order 2 chickens for the girls. I wondered if Kelly had changed her mind, but didnt say anything about it.
Our dinners came in short order, but when Kelly saw hers, she was upset. She wanted pizza! Anne said, no you wanted ice cream & it was not available with pizza. Kelly started to sob that she wanted pizza! Well, Anne decided to take Kelly out to administer a punishment for her arguing about the chicken. I was getting upset about all of this, after this was Disney! If she wanted ice cream with her pizza, they would give it to her. I kept my mouth shut as I dont want to alienate the DIL, she is my only access to these girls. Emily sat there & told us Kelly wanted pizza, I heard her say that to Mom. I was getting more upset by the minute.
Well, they came back to the table Kelly slid into her seat, picked up her fork & started to take a bite of that chicken. A silent tear was sliding down her face as she did so, I couldnt take that (Im tearing up writing about it) so I burst out with a sob choked voice, she wanted the pizza! Anne paid attention to that I can tell you! I dont normally show my emotions, but her wanting the pizza & not getting it reminded me of all the terrible times that my mother made us eat things that we didnt want really got to me at that moment!
The CM came over & Anne asked if she could have pizza instead of the chicken. He didnt bat an eye & said of course she could! I mean this is Disney, the happy place, they are going to make a child happy!!! After that everything settled down & we finished dinner. All was well again. I dont usually like it when kids cause problems at dinner, they should be taken out so as not to disturb others, but she just wanted what she asked for. Anne is not used to restaurants although she has eaten out quite a bit. She is one that thinks menus are set in stone & cant be changed. Fortuneatly the rest of our vacation with Anne & the girls went well!
After dinner the rain had stopped, so we rode on the Nemo ( actually the former Living Seas), no one was too impressed by that. It has been changed too much, was better before Nemo.
Next up was MS, that was a fun ride, then another trip on TT. We were off to Soarin next.
None of the lines were very long, however we did get a FP for Soarin & TT.
We were in the queue for Soarin when I realized that we could be in the front row center. When the doors opened, woot, woot, we were to sit dead center in the front row!! This was the first time ever for us & we had ridden Soarin many times. It is Bobs favorite ride!
It was starting to get late, but we had EMH at Epcot that night. It was also Anne & the Girls last night at WDW. We decided to do a Kimpossible adventure, but it had no more adventures open for the evening. We did a little shopping at WS & then it was time for Illuminations.
After Illuminations we headed to the exit & stopped for some more PPs.
We were coming back in the morning so the girls could do a Kimpossible adventure before they had to leave for Tulsa. It had been a very busy day & a very tiring one. It all ended happily after a little air clearing!
It seems that they troll the daily accident reports & start calling. The police report stated that there might be an injury, so the feeding frenzy is on!! A real eye opener for sure.
