Day 2:

We wake up to Mickey’s wake up call. The kids decide (yeah right) that they will amicably take turns answering the phone for the rest of our trip.

We were told by my sister, because there are no more EE days, that the characters would be parading around to the resorts. We called the front desk and asked about this and the woman at the front desk asked if we were talking about the character breakfast. She said she had no information regarding other characters at the Poly. After hanging up we received a phone call from the front desk saying that some characters were in the main house and would be there for another half hour. We headed to the main house and got autographs from King Louie, Rafiki and Timon.

We arrive at Epcot at 9:30 and meet my sister at the security check-in. She has already been there for 2 days and starts telling us that we were nuts to wait 40 minutes in line for Dumbo. Boy, was she right. We get into Epcot and find test track closed, so we head into Innoventions and try out some stuff and dmail the grandparents. We go on Body Wars and Space Ship Earth. No wait at all they are both walk-ons. We goof off at the fountains and Innoventions for a while then head out for the Hoop-De-Doo Revue.

We stopped in on the Wilderness Lodge and took a look around. This is truly a magnificent building. We decided that we would have to try it out on another visit.

We meet some good friends of ours at the HDDR and look forward to an entertaining show. Before we are seated, my DS, Drew, cuts himself with a knife….he was trying to cut his own bread. You should have seen the staff. You would have thought that he cut off his finger. They seemed to almost panic over not having a bandage immediately available. Drew looked around like nothing had happened and by the time the show began it was forgotten. What a great show!! The food is very good to excellent and abundant. You won’t leave this venue hungry…for food or entertainment! The fried chicken was excellent and the ribs were very good. Dessert was also very good and plentiful. The beer was cold…..which happens to be my favorite brand.

After the show we decided to head over to Epcot to catch Tapestry and Illuminations again. Another wonderful day at WDW.

Next: Animal Kingdom and Breakfastasourus
 
Except for the cut finger - a very fun Disney day. Thanks for posting!
 
We'll have to try the HDDR on our next visit. Always heard that it was good.
 
Sorry to hear about DS's boo boo finger-glad he was able to take it in stride.

I always try to fit too much in to each visit and never made time for HDDR. Maybe next time...

Also glad to hear you had fun at HDDR, we'll be giving it a try in Dec.
 
Another great day!! Glad you saw Illuminations and Tapestry of Nations again, I just love them.
 
Sounds like you really enjoyed Hoop De Doo Revue, cut finger and all.

Thanks for taking the time to post this, I enjoyed reading it.
