After the parade was over, I came back to the Beach Club, went to the main pool (where Melissa already was) and then we took a nap. Melissa had started her pool day at the quiet pool bnefore heading over to stormalong bay. Saturday night was our "date night" with dinner at Bistro De Paris and then Illuminations. Heading over into Epcot, we got our picture taken with Donald Duck at the IG and then by a photopass person on the IG bridge.



Our problem that night was our dinner. We checked into Bistro and were seated around 6:20 pm. The issue we had was our dinner didn’t come out until 8pm!! We actually had people sit down after us, eat their meal and leave BEFORE we got our meal! It got to the point where we were just going to leave money for the drinks we had and get up and go, but right before we could, our dinner finally came. Our waiter was apologetic, but didn’t seem to get our issue. We knew that this was a fancy restaurant and the food wasn’t pre-made, but 100 minutes was pushing it. I asked to speak to the manager, who comped our meals w/o me having to say really anything so all we had to pay for was Melissa’s glasses of wine. The actual meals were good, but by then, the thrill was gone.

We ended up getting out of Bistro like around 8:20ish, so from there we got ANOTHER grand mariner slushie (like our fifth of the trip ) and just walked around England and Canada before finding a place for the fireworks across from the Off Kilter stage. After Illuminations ended, we walked along the boardwalk and I got an eclair from the Boardwalk Bakery that was made the proper way! (when I asked the CM in the bakery what was in the eclair, he looked at me like I was crazy for asking such a question!) From there we headed back home and called it a night.

Here are a few more pics from our last night at WDW:







what is the actual name of "officer pooh" I can't remember?

COMING UP - ONE MORE MORNING IN THE PARKS!

Over 100 mins until your meal was served?!! I can't believe they didn't comp your meal or something. I've had meals at WDW that take up to 1 1/2 hours from start to finish but it wasn't because of waiting for food - just between appetizers, entree and dessert.

I am at a loss as to the actual name for "officer Pooh".

Parks Visited: MGM
Dining: Cape May Café (breakfast)

I know this isn't much of an update. Unfortunately, I forgot to take note about our last day in the parks. We had breakfast first at cape may and I got some more character pics:





From there, we headed over to MGM and rode RnRC and Toy Story Mania a bunch of times The lines were still bad. We wanted to ride the Great Movie Ride, but we passed b/c of the lines, so we didn’t get to do that this trip. Eventually, we headed out and over to the airport. I wanted to get to the airport a bit early b/c when we came in, we saw a huge line at Southwest’s ticket counter, but we ended up doing cubside check-in, so no big deal. Unfortunately, our flight was delayed like a hour-plus, so that was no fun, but we ended up getting back to St. Louis safe and sound.

Here are some of my MGM pictures from the day:





COMING UP - PHOTOPASS PICS (WHEN THEY EVER COME IN!)
