Good morning! Hope you all are having a good week.
Day 6 Part 2
So I left off that we were heading back to the WL. We got changed and freshened up then we took the downtown disney bus over to GF (its their second stop! great to know)
This was our first time ever being in the GF and we were both impressed. We were extremely early as usual but I wanted to take in the resort and gets lots of pictures. The GF gift shop started me on collecting those charms for the bracelets because the GF one is so pretty!
We even found the stuffed dog (or bear?) lady that I have heard so much about! it was cool to see that she was actually real. For those of you who don't know..this lady comes to the GF everyday and sits with her cart of stuffed animals in the lobby. She has been doing this since the day it opened!
The band I thought were really cute and I loved their suits.
I think the best part about the GF is the atmosphere and how there is always someone playing music!
I loved the floors and took a billion pictures of them but i'll spare you.
We then took a walk around the resort. It was such a pretty day out.
I was very excited to spot the wedding pavilion!
We made our way over to check out the pavilion! It was so nice to actually see and walk around instead of just seeing pictures.
There was no one around. I guess 4pm in the afternoon on a Sunday is not a busy time!
We then walked back to the GF to sit around some more and enjoy the music.
We got a nice big couch to ourselves and listened to this man play. It was so relaxing!
okay one more...can't help it!
After much stalling we realized we didn't have anything else to do so we'd check in early for our spa treatment! we were getting a couples massage. Neither me or DH had ever gotten a massage and we weren't really sure what to expect. We arrived and were immediately shown to separate locker rooms. No one was in mine when I arrived. There were showers, a steam room and a hot tub. (oh I forgot to take my suit from DH and had to run into the lobby to get the receptionist to get my suit from him because I didn't know where he was!) I choose a locker and then changed into a bathing suit so I could sit in the hot tub.
Heres some photos from inside
We were told to be ready at 6 for someone to come get us. When she arrived to took me down a long hallway just and DH was coming from the opposite direction. We choose our oil sent. of course I don't remember what it was! But it was for relaxing I believe and DH choose the same one. Then we were led into different doors. It was the same room but different doors. I did think we would be closer (I guess like you see in movies?) but we were kind of far apart. Really it didn't matter because it wasn't like we were chatting. Both our ladies were very nice...though I think they told us both to relax because we were nervous about what to expect! by the end I pretty much was asleep and totally confused when she asked me to turn over. it was 50mins but it didn't feel that way! It was sooo nice. Once finished we were given a ton of water and some oil to take back (which we didn't know how to take on the plane so it ended up staying in disney
) We both went to our locker rooms....and my lady told me to sit in the hot tub for a little. DH's told him not to! I'm not sure who was right!
so poor DH was waiting for me!
All refreshed we headed back to the GF for our dinner at Citricos!
we'd also like to do the couples massage and have dinner at Citricos!
