No zombies here, 13 years of trip reports!!!

[AirGoofy]

As you can guess from the ponchos, the sky opened and it started pouring rain. So, we ducked into France to watch the movie.





Then, onto Via Napoli for the best pizza. Margherita and Pepperoni extra large. Might be the cheapest meal at all of WDW and really good. The phone battery is running low and it is close to 5:00 PM. Thus may be my last post until tomorrow morning.

Glad you are having a great time Norm. Great pics and just love the Yuengling for two pic Agreee that the coconut rum dole whip was the better of the two compared to the dark rum. WTH with the towel and shoe tossing at the pool DW or DD would go ballistic. Again glad you are having a great time and the Jasmine pic is classic - sorry about UK but nice run.

Thanks. We are going back to SAB tomorrow or Thursday. Hopefully, there will be new guests and new behavior.

After pizza, the rain has stopped and the sun is back out. We walk over Germany for karamel popcorn and a chocolate, caramel apple.



Then, over for the pair of boatrides. Norway.


The Three Cabelleros.



No wait times. The best

 

[AirGoofy]

We needed to go up to the front of the park and claim our free Disney Visa picture. Along the way, we had another no wait photo opportunity with Duffy, Mickey's teddy bear.



The topiaries are terrific.

















And, we rode SpaceShip Earth.



I actually saw a woman get her fingers stuck in the door and they had to do a ride emergency shut down. I guess those doors do close hard after all. Fortunately, she was ok and continued on with the ride without medical assistance.

We didn't spend as much time in the World Showcase because of all the rain. But, I captured some topiaries throughout the day that i had not seen before, and will just post them in whatever order they uploaded on the phone. See above.

We stopped at the IG and picked up the pictures we had shipped there this morning from Akershus. It was close to firework time, so we just went back to the Beach Club to soak in the hot tub and watch fireworks. Unfortunately, you can't see the fireworks all to well from the hot tub, but it was a different way to end the day.

I also had another first this trip - Minnie hugged me and gave me a kiss in our earlier photo opp with her and Pluto. It happened so fast that there is no photo evidence. Just don't tell my wife.

Another great day at Epcot closes. Since we left early, I can only claim 12+ hours in the park today as opposed to the 13 it was open. I hope I don't lose my commando card for that.

We threw in a change of plans tomorrow. The weather may be cool, so we may go to DTD for some shopping, still to WHW, but we added a Kona dinner ADR, and plan to end the day at TOTWL watching Wishes. I might be able to add a DisDad meet up with this trip if the plan comes together.

Good morning all. Up early for my morning coffee. I left the family sleeping in the room and walked down to the sitting area at the BCV. It was really quiet, and then right at 7:00 AM, the music was on and workers appeared.

It looks like clear skies today. Time to go back upstairs and get some more coffee.

 

[AirGoofy]

The family slept in late this morning, which is fine on vacation. We are heading to DTD. The Beach Club club car.



DTD.



Quad-tweedledees.



It is in the high 60s with lots of sunshine.

 

[AirGoofy]

We did some shopping. Tic toc croc.



I bought some pins.



Oldest got really long earrings.



Earl of Sandwich for lunch.



I had the pastrami Reuben. Yum.

 

[AirGoofy]

Pin traders in DTD had been stripped to make room for Magic Band sales. Disney plans to make more money on MB and accessories over pins. The pin wall in World of Disney is gone in favor of vinylmation. I guess the metal in pins is too expensive. I did get a cool 2014 Dopey and Winter Soldier Captain America.

 

[AirGoofy]

Sitting on the bus to Boardwalk/BCYC/S&D from DTD. Even had a driver change. This has to be the longest route. We will probably miss WHW. And, a stop at Typhoon Lagoon as well.

The time is 1:33 PM. The temp is 69 degrees.

 

[AirGoofy]

We made it to WHW. Cracker Jack dessert goes great after EoS lunch.



The opening activity was for all the children - follow the leader with surf boards.



They both won pins.



DW made the game and is on the big screen.



The count made it up to five. We got to play spouse trivia. DW got my two questions correct & I missed her questions. She was asked what my favorite transportation mode and what I watch on tv. I was asked where my wife would spend her time and who she would take on dream vacation. Hopefully, we'll still be married by the next trip.



And a new hat. New style as well.

 

[declansdad]

Looks like a beautiful day!

 

[AirGoofy]

The time is 3:40 PM. The temp is 73.

 

[AirGoofy]

Back to the quiet pool for a short swim before dinner reservations. Tonite is Kona Cafe, followed by Wishes from TOTWL @ BLT. I'm planning a lapu lapu for dinner. I think the temps are supposed to warm a bit more tomorrow, but not all that much. We'll get over to SAB tomorrow afternoon. I have enjoyed the Spring Break weather. It is much warmer than home, but cooler than those much hotter days in October.

 

[AirGoofy]

All cleaned up and time for dinner. Made our first mistake of the trip. We are going to Kona for dinner. So, we take the MK bus followed by boat to Poly. The bus is packed and there were no Disdads aboard, so DW and my two dds stood while men and teenage boys playing flappy birds were seated. It is a different crowd at the BCV. DW was right. We should have boated or walked to DHS and bus to Poly. I just wanted to go under the water bridge and open boat to Poly over the lagoon.

Bungalows at the Poly. Captain Cooks closed with construction as well.



Checking in at Kona.



I am ready to get my drink on. Lapu Lapu - a drink so nice they named it twice.



Kona press pot.
