We check into Wilderness Lodge (Villas) and head for the room. Room 1505...AWESOME location. First floor, closest to the main lodge, closest to the Villas pool, closest to the buses, and closest to the main pool from the villas as you can get. Girls immediately stripped to put their suits on and I stayed behind to unpack.
We headed over to Ohanas for dinner. We've never been there for dinner before and it was McKenna's birthday. I had ordered a cake as well. They started the coconut races and McKenna was shy about going up. DH (who is really shy himself-I'm slowly breaking him of this) finally took her up there and there were no more coconuts to push around. She starts bawling which then I started to well up because after her being sick and being her birthday, I felt bad for her. Some nice gentleman came up and gave her his. It ws very sweet of him.
The dinner was ok..not all that great. I probablt won't eat there again though. We had a pretty "green" waiter..so he didn't make any kind of hoopla for McKenna's birthday...didn't announce it or anything. I wasn't very happy, but oh well. He did bring the cake out. (I post photo later). It was cute, but awful. Now..I have never met a cake I didn't like...ever. Have you seen my picture? This cake was yucky. It was vanilla cake w/ butterceam and strawberry filling. My buttercream icing is better. This could not have been buttercream icing or even whipped cream. We didn't even finish our slices. We gave it to the waiter for the break room and they were happy to have it.
We rested the rest of the evening.
The next day we swam, rode the monrail, rode the boat during the day. Around 4 the kids went to the Cub's Den and we went to Narcossee's. Narcossee's was delicious. They even had my favorite wine..Moscato D'asti. We both had the full lobster which was great. Went back to pick the kids up..and they had made a friend or two. Meghan even liked it. Being 11 she kind of didn't want to go there but had a good time anyway. They knew it was McKenna's birthday and gave her a birthday cupcake, some coloring books, markers, a pin, and a Pooh Memory Game to keep. It was so thoughtful!
Next day we got up early and headed to MK. I hate getting up, but I love EMH in the morning. We got on Buzz, Tommorrowland speedway, Dumbo, Stitch, Pooh, Carousel, and Space Mountain with no or very, very little wait. SM we had to get a FP though. We also did the teacups. When Toon town opened they took McKenna on the Barnstormer. She loved it. We then ate at Casey's Hot Dog place...only because it was on the way out. It wasn't bad..I just don't want hot dogs on my vacations. Maybe one is ok. We headed back to the room for a break. A first for us. We normally just stay in the park from open until the fireworks are over, but since we were at VWL it was an easy way back.
I enjoyed taking a break and so did the kids. I even got a little nap out of McKenna. We went back around 4pm and they played on Tom Sawyer's Island and rode BTMRR with the FP's they had. We then ate dinner at LTT another first for us. It wasn't bad. Not a new favorite though. I really liked the ham. Not to toot my own horn (really), but I am a pretty good cook and I make some really great dishes (when I feel like it) so if it isn't as good as I can make it or better it's just OK to me.
We rode a few more rides and then got positioned for the Electrical Parade. At first we had a great spot, but as the time drew closer more and more people started crowding in. When it started there was this HUGE and tall man who had been in one of those
scooter thingys who had stood up to hold his grand child, but he kept pushing on me, his sweat would drip on me (gag), he stank, and his scooter kept jabbing my leg. I think he was trying to support himself on me..so a few times I moved a bit. Now I felt bad for him, but I wish he would have leaned elsewhere. That's the closest I've been to any man since I met husband..eww. Now if he were hot...that would have been another story.

He could grind up on me as much as he wanted.

Through the parade, I started getting muscle aches a nd dizzy. I felt like I was going to pass out. Once the parade was over I had to get out of there so I found a spot by the train station and we sat. It was a great place to view the fireworks! Once they were over, we immediately headed to the buses and got on the first bus out to WL. It wasn't even crowded. There were like 8 of us on the bus! Once we got to the room both Meghan and I felt hot. I brought the thermometer. Meghan had a fever of 102.5 and mine was 104.5. We both took something to bring it down, but I had never been so hot in my life. My throat was very sore. Hers wasn't. We rested the next day. The following day Meghan felt better as did I, but my throat still hurt. Usually it goes away pretty quickly. Iended up going to the Centra Care Clinic and getting antibiotics.
Will type more later. Need to prepare lunch.
