Day 3Saturday, May 1, 2004
I woke up early and had a quick breakfast of beingets at the POFQ before heading over to MGM for early entry. I was in the park before 8:00 am, and as soon as they let us by, I walked immediately to the Tower of Terror, and the Rock N Roller Coaster and rode each of them twice. I then went on the Great Movie Ride.
I then walked to the Boardwalk and took a bus to Downtown Disney to do a bit of shopping. I bought myself a really nice scrapbook, and some new stickers and paper edgers. I also picked up a few other souvenirs for my friends and family. I only spent about $65 dollars there, so I did pretty well.
I then walked to the buses to head to catch a bus to the Contemporary, as I had lunch reservations. The Contemporary bus had just pulled away, so I jumped on the bus to the Grand Floridian and took the monorail from there.
I used a voucher for lunch at the Concourse Steakhouse. I started off with a mixed greens salad. It was OK, but there wasnt very much dressing on it, so I had to ask for more. I got a filet mignon for my entree, and it was delicious. The meat was very tender, and the mashed potatoes were amazing. For dessert, I got crème brulee. It wasnt the best crème bruleethe carmalized sugar on the top was like a sheet of hard candy, not very good. But the crème part was delicious. Overall, I enjoyed my meal at the Concourse Steakhouse, although it wasnt the best one meal I had.
I then headed over to Epcot to meet up with Bavaria again. We had made plans the previous night to meet at the American Adventure to catch American Vybe that afternoon. Unfortunately, the American Vybe performances were cancelled that day. We decided to take a walk around the world. I wanted to take a picture of me in each country for my scrapbook. I plan on making a Walk Around the World in a Day section in my scrapbook. During our walk around the world, we road the boat rides in Norway and Mexico. We also caught the chair performers in France, who were fantastic.
After our walk around the world, Bavaria and I said goodbye. I headed over to the Magic Kingdom. I road on Splash Mountain and the Jungle Cruise. I then walked to the Contemporary, where I would be meeting AngieBelle and her boyfriend Chris. I was very excited to meet AngieBelle, since we have talked a lot in the chat room in the past year. Angies friend Jillian joined us as well.
Angie, Chris, Jillian, and I wound up heading over to Kimonos to meet the One_Cats. It was too early to go into Kimonos, so we wound up going to Tubbis to grab a bit to eat. Angie and Jillian shared a pizza, Chris got a sandwich, and I got a cheeseburger. My cheeseburger was OK, but nothing to write home about. I enjoyed passing out wetnaps and condiments to everyone in our group. The wetnaps and condiments are very plentiful at Tubbis.
After dinner, we headed outside to head to Kimonos. I dont remember how this started, but I was making a comment (something along the lines of how special I am), and I threw my arms triumphantly in the air at the right moment to make the fireworks over at Epcot go off. It was really bizarre. I dont know if Im explaining it well enough to describe the experience, but it was pretty darn neat.
We went to Kimonos and grabbed a table. The One_Cats got up and performed Summer Nights together, and Mr. One_Cat also sang something else, but I cant remember what. Angie sang a couple of Broadway showtunes, and completely wowed the audience. I swear I saw one woman with tears in her eyes. I did not make an appearance onstage that night, even though One_Cat repeatedly begged me to sing. I just dont sing in front of people like that.
At one point during the night, someone started to sing Copacabana. That song just screams conga line, so I started one. I had a four person conga line in the restaurant. Everyone else just sat there, but me and three strangers conga lined our hearts out. We had more fun than anyone else!
One thing I learned about going to Kimonos is that I have to untrain myself from responding to songs the way they do over at Jellyrolls. I hear certain lines in songs, and I react to them. Thats fine over at Jellyrolls, but at Kimonos, no one else does it, so it just doesnt work.
Overall I enjoyed Kimonos, but its no Jellyrolls. Good thing my beloved Scotty and Ray werent performing at Jellyrolls that night, or I would have ditched everyone at Kimonos
Actually, Ray was performing that night, but not with Scotty, so thats why this was my non-Jellyrolls night.
I left Kimonos shortly after 11:00, and went to grab a cab to the POFQ. The swan uses towncars instead of cabs, so I got a towncar back to the resort, and Im still not sure how I actually made it back. The driver didnt know how to get to the POFQ (didnt even know what it was). He got directions from the dispatcher, and didnt follow them right. He made an illegal u-turn, and tried to take me to the CBR. Then he almost got us in an accident because he was riding in between lanes. Then finally told him to listen to me for directions to the POFQ. We finally made it there in one piece. The driver ticked me off because he told me he charged the same as a taxi (which should have been around $8 including tip), but he charged me $10. So, after the horrible service I received, I just handed him $10 without a tip. He didnt even deserve the ten.
It was nice to be back at the hotel and in bed before midnight. It was the only night of my trip I made it back that early.
