I last left you off with a poor game of frogger gone wrong..for the frog that is! The sadness was now kicking in. We had said our goodbyes to Jophia and mom, and that really hurt my heart! I knew we wouldn't be seeing them for a LONG while! Although she is only 8 hours away, i do not get paid time off, and John is still very new at his job and doesn't wanna take off for Disney then another 4 days and then possibly again to visit his sister. He is still trying to totally impress them..plus he got paid 2 weeks vacay for Disney..any extra time will prolly be unpaid and that can't happen! BUT, we had such an awesome time with them! It was great to have so much time with them! Disney is definitely much more fun with friends! Afterthose good bye, seeing the adios amigos sign, and watching that more frog get smashed, my heart was just sinking. It was alllll OVER!
Tears started welling up in my eyes and it took a lot for me to fight them back. I kept thinking, we still have Ohana's, and DTD, don't cry yet!
Finally we got to the Poly, and I started getting really sad! No MK after breakfast..no park at all! Not for another full year! We got parked and I remember snapping at John quite a few times. I was moody, and poor John is always the recipient of whatever feeling I am having! He did pretty good at not snapping back and making things worse lol
We were already late for our ADR, but i didn't really care. I stopped and took pics! ( you know, cause I didn't have a million already!)
We got upstairs and I check ed in at the podium and was told there would be a 25 minute wait... are you kidding me?? At this point it was about 10:45 and we were all starving! But, we were late, so we couldn't really complain, at least we were getting seated!
Let me just tell you, it was CROWDED up in that piece! Tons of people! I was a grateful Diser in that moment. Grateful that I had been in the know to know thow busy this place gets! Grateful to know, that ADR's are non optional! I was also a sad Diser! Kayla was starting to get moody and all the Disney magic was flying out the window. She knew the trip was to an end, and she was moody about it! Wonder where she gets that from
I sat on one of the couches and John couldn't take the pity party anymore, so he went and walked around..got this cute pic
He also got this very unflattering fat shot of me..crying..
Idk what did it, but all of a sudden I was bawling... tears just ran from my eyes like it was their job! Luckily Kayla didn't see me, and Jack was on my shoulder!
FINALLY, well after the time we were told we would wait, we were seated! We got a great table in the center of the dining room by a window! I much preferred being able to look out! Last year for dinner, we were no where near a window, and it just felt dark or something. I was a fan of this years seat! We were also right by the cooking station, and the kids enjoyed watching the chef's!
At first our waitress was a bit rude.. I am gonna go out on a limb and say because it was zoo crazy packed, and maybe she was overwhelmed? Idk?? But she lightened up when she heard it was our last day, and we had an 18+hour drive ahead of us!
She was still slow as all get out though! Made me realize why we waited so long lol! Finally we got our coffee, and breakfast. the chef came out to let us know what jack could and couldn't have and we were set!
Our first character was Lilo! We hadn't seen her since 2005, and this was jack's first time meeting her!
She was a lot of fun! Great interaction! Next up was stitch.. who came over behind John and gave him quite a surprise lol!
Although Jack doesn't know the Movie Lilo and stitch quite as well as other movies, he instantly clicked with Stitch lol!! They are one in the same I tell you! Kayla has always been a big stitch fan!
After stitch, Mickey was up next! and let me just tell you, he looked SO cute in his lil' Hawaiian shirt! I loved it!
Of all the characters, he stayed the least amount of time! but he was awesome while he was there! Next up with his faithful pup, Pluto!!
Pluto also took a liking to John and pretended to lick him lol!
Then he was off to the kids, and he was super awesome with them!
After Pluto was gone, we ate up what was left of our breakfast and the waitress was super nice and packed me some of that yummy bread they serve! (The pineapple one). That stuff is like crack!
All in all, I really enjoyed this breakfast! I wasn't expecting anything good, but it was all pretty yummy! Service could have been friendlier, and more than 2 waffles could have been given to us, but we liked it. I was glad that I chose this as our last meal! I thought seeing characters would make us feel sad, but it didn't! It almost made up for not being able to go to a park that day! Almost....
Next Up- Kayla gets silly, DTD and the how many credits can you use in one shot game! Then, the LONGEST drive home everrrr!
