February 14th, 2008 Valentines Day
We woke up around 7:15 since our breakfast would be coming around 7:30am.
And breakfast arrived right on time.
I had pancakes with bacon & Shaun had the Eggs Your Way. A nice - $50 breakfast. Oh well, its Valentines Day & our honeymoon
Our plan for the day was to go back to Magic Kingdom & accomplish a lot of the things we missed & doing some favorites again.
We started with the Jungle Cruise where there wasnt much of a wait. Since it was still early in the morning, the guide was still really into it so it made it much better than it usually is.
We went on Pirates again & then decided to wait for Tom Sawyers Island to open to see if we would be able to find a paintbrush. Well, we didnt find a paintbrush, but we had fun running around like little kids, exploring caves and being goofy. We must have spent about an hour on the island. Shaun had way too much fun bouncing me on the barrel bridge.
We headed to the train to take it over to Toon Town since we hadnt done that yet.
We explored the houses & we went on Barnstormer since I was determined to do every open ride this trip
Afterwards, we went on Buzz again & when we came out, Stitch was out playing so I decided to get in line for him as we hadnt really visited any characters this trip.
We were getting hungry at this point, so we decided to be bad for lunch. I had been wanting a funnel cake this entire trip & we never were around a funnel cake station for a snack time. We decided that would be out lunch. So I got a funnel cake & he got a root beer float from Sleepy Hollow. We ended up talking to the cleaning lady as she had pins that Shaun liked for trading & she ended up giving us some Tinkerbell Year of Million Dream Pins! Yay pixie dust!
We decided to head back to the hotel. We got on the boat & it was different boat than usual as it seemed to be a training for new transportation CMs and we were on the only guests on board. Well, the trainer decided to have the boat driver play kiss the girl & have us dance as we are newlyweds. We couldnt stop laughing as it was silly but fun. Shaun who hates attention didnt seem to mind either.
When we got back to the hotel, the Stitches got a little out of hand
We decided to call the DVC center after the discussion we had with them the night before, as I wanted Shaun to learn more about it before we make the decision to buy in, so after about an hour of relaxation in the resort, the DVC van picked us up to take us to SSR for the tour.
Well, or somewhat tour.
Our guide wasnt very friendly when I mentioned we are thinking about waiting until CR gets announced and he got an attitude about it. It kinda pissed me off the reaction he had. I mean, the only way we got him to shut up about how CR isnt going to happen was to say well, we arent buying today anyway because we just got married & I just finished school so we want to wait a few months anyway so he didnt show us the DVD or really go over much with us at all. He rushed us through the AKV models. Luckily, I sortof know enough about DVC to explain it to Shaun when he had questions once we got back to the room.
So after less than hour, we were on our way back to hotel. Where Shaun read the DVC book & he looked online to find the answers to the unanswered questions.
After cleaning up some and relaxing, it was about 4:30 & we decided to head to the Polynesian to pick up a picture frame that we will put our surf board picture in. This is when we also decided to have a drink around the monorail
I had a backscratcher & Shaun had a sunken treasure from the Tambu bar.
Our next stop was the Grand Floridian where we got around 5:30.
We both end up getting a Malibu & coke & we were a bit hungry since we hadnt really eaten since breakfast so we decided to order the Shrimp Appetizer listed on the bar menu (its from Citricos) to get something on our stomachs. We relaxed in the comfy chairs for a while, until 6:40 when we headed to the Contemporary for our meal at the California Grill.
Our Decorated Table!
We decided to split the Beef Tenderloin Flatbread which was AMAZING!
Shaun had the filet which he enjoyed:
I had the Chicken & Dumplings which was good too, but I only ate one of them & saved the other for breakfast the next day. I paired a glass of Riesling with this.
Not realizing we would be getting a surprise dessert, we got the Valrhona Chocolate cake: We also order me a glass of dessert wine, which didnt seem to be bought out until after the dessert was eaten. So it wasnt really able to be fully enjoyed, but oh well. It still was good.
And our free dessert, which wasnt really eaten much:
We walked to the pier to take the boat back over the Wilderness Lodge where I ended up making friends with the ducks as we waited.
We got back to the room a little after 9 where we watched the Electrical Light Parade, and relaxed.
Overall, a very good Valentines Day
) Your reviews have been really comprehensive and are getting me to think about trying some more "grown-up" food when we visit in June!
