We arrived at the boardwalk around 9 Sunday morning. Villa was not ready, no big surprise.Nana and popa weren't with us yet, they have seaworld passes so went there first.We took the boat to mgm,wanted to do "millionaire"Line to get in mgm was long,like 20 minutes.Once in we hurried to "millionaire" and got fastpass for 12:00 show, then stood stand-by and caught 11:00 show. This is really an attraction you should do twice in a row.My brother finished #2 and I was #6, on the 2nd show,so we felt pretty smart! Walked back to bw and then over to beaches and cream for lunch. Food good as always and we were seated right away. Caught boat back to bw and swam at luna park. Landed a table by pool bar! After a while we saw nana and popa.Checked and by now (around 3) our villa was ready. It was an immaculate 2 bedroom villa and certainly worth the wait. Plenty of room for all of us. Hung out for a while, my brother worked out at the health club. At around 6:30 headed to Palios for dinner. You don't hear too much about this place, but it is truly awesome. After we were done our delicious meals, the musicians serenaded us with several songs, some disney songs for dd, broadway for nana, beatles for me. Then they had n& p singing along ...Volare...whoaa...they were having such a good time!We went back on the boardwalk, dd got a hair wrap $32!! Saw the lady eating fire & swallowing swords, and watched fireworks. Some friends of ours staying at Carribean beach met us up at the villa. (Boy, they sure asked alot of questions about dvc when they saw how great the villa was!)They all went to jellyrolls but I was wiped, I took dd for a quick swim and to bellview lounge for scrabble, we were in bed by 12:30.DH & brother partied hardy at jellyrolls and stayed up till after 3 hanging out on the balcony. The next morning I went to get coffee from the cart out front of the boardwalk, and was dissappointed to see it wasn't there. I wondered if that was a disney cutback. Went to bakery instead. We went to the breakfast buffet at spoodles at around 10, it was great as always. Afterward we pool hopped to SAB, and landed a table in the shade. Was happy to see they were checking ids and using wristbands. We all had a ball there, we finally left at around 2:30,all in all we were back in Ormond by 4pm. I think everyone really had a good time. Always hard to leave, but a little easier knowing we will be back in less then 2 weeks to do poly concierge. Until then...hope this wasn't too boring!
