We each used a CS credit and got a huge breakfast platter.
Each platter had french toast, eggs, potatoes, and a biscuit. The only difference in our meals was that John got bacon with his and I got sausage. Then for our beverages I had a diet soda and orange juice and John had a regular soda and Nesquik.
I didn't realize how hungry I was until I started eating. Apparently I was starving because I'm pretty sure I ended up with a happy plate! It was really nice sitting there in the warmth enjoying our breakfast. I always appreciate stopping for a meal during busy times at Disney because our table becomes our little safe haven away from all the crowds. While we were eating I made the mental note that the music from the movie Pearl Harbor was playing. Not sure why I thought that was important to mention, but I've remembered it all this time so I felt the need to share!
I love Sunshine Seasons. October will be our first trip not eating there. With the DxDP though we have all the sit downs planned out. Except we'll probably use our last credits at Pizza Planet on our last day. That one is just for the kids since they both want to eat there.
After our yummy breakfast it was time to go soarin'!
I have to admit, the first time I rode Soarin' it was after I waited in a two hour standby line, and the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. It just didn't seem worth all the hype! I feel differently now, however. I love it! My favorite part is smelling the wonderful oranges. I love it!
I think we used a FP the first time but I have stood in a two hour line for it when the kids both really wanted to ride and FP's were all gone. We enjoyed it just as much but we were in line with some really nice people and could actually hear the rain pouring down when we went by an emergency exit so we were pretty happy to be dry and in line at that point.
After we finished our adventure over California we decided to try Living with the Land one more time. Let me just say...Oh. My. Gosh. The crowds were absolutely INSANE.There was a huge crowd heading from Living with the Land to Soarin' and another huge crowd heading from Soarin' to Living with the Land. There was literally not one inch of room that wasn't packed with bodies. I immediately started to panic, and my panic only got worse when I realized there was total stranger walking behind me, pushing me forward with both of her hands ON MY BUTT. I'm not joking. I turned around and practically yelled in her face, "DO YOU MIND?!" and she just looked at me like I was the crazy one. Some people!
Maybe she wasn't the one feeling you up? Maybe there was some really sneaky pervert nearby?
By this time John and I had both had enough of this, so we forced our way through the crowds and to the escalator. No ride was worth that nonsense!
Before we left The Land I took a picture of the chaos below.
Ugh! I still shudder just looking at that picture!
I was pretty excited about seeing this show, but John and I both left the theater a little while later like this:. That was SO weird! I know it was from the 80s, but it was just completely strange to me. John thought it was hilarious, and he spent the rest of the day calling me "Hooter" in this weird Michael Jackson voice.
I remember it being really weird but I still can't wait for my kids to see it.
I have no idea!
Up Next: The weather finally improves as we explore the World Showcase! Stay tuned!
Thanks for ruining the surprise!
As we were entering the WS a miraculous thing happened. It got warm!
Hooray for our solar system's star!
I took two years of french in high school then switched to German. I only know a few words of each. I've been thinking of trying Rosetta Stone. Is that what it's called. It would be nice to know another language, plus my brain is turning to mush and I need to focus on something.
As we entered Canada I saw a man that looked an awful lot like SANTA CLAUS! He was speaking to a small crowd of people. I had to investigate this further.
As we approached the Santa-like man John informed that he was actually le Père Noël, which is the French version of good ol’ Santy Claus. He was talking about Christmas traditions in France. It was very interesting, but I had other things in France to check out!
La Père Noël appears to be giving you the stink eye. This does not bode well for your gifts this coming Christmas.
I made a mental note to come back and buy a bottle, but I ended up forgetting. Maybe next time!
Sounds like something I would do. Brain! Mush! Winning! Duh!
As we were looking around I saw Marie from Aristocats! I immediately thought of Jen (Nermel9) because she loves Marie so much. I considered meeting her for a picture, but changed my mind. I wasn’t feeling very photogenic because of my head cold. I did take a really cute picture of her, though.
I feel kind of creepy for taking a picture of someone else’s child, but how cute is that?! I wish I could find his parents and send them this picture. I think they would love it!
I agree, it is kind of creepy. We should start a thread for people to post pictures that they got of other people's kids. Then if someone comes across their kid they could contact you for the proper size jpg.
The Grand Marnier orange slushie!Oh, be still my heart. I love these things. Ever since I came to Disney on my honeymoon (the first time I was twenty-one at Disney) I have had to get one of these. They are SO delicious and refreshing!
Looks yummy! I would say that I should try one but I'm not sure what the F&W booths really have in terms of mixed drinks so I may be busy and forget.
Can't wait to hear about your meal. You give great food reports.
Being cold at Disney really does make you appreciate that Florida sunshine, doesn't it?
Sooo happy that the weather finally cooperated for you!!! 
on getting the warm weather and finally being able to remove your coats etc!
I was sick of standing and I was getting really cold, so I was really relieved when they finally called our name.
for seeing Remy!!!
Thanks for joining in! I love to read adults only TRs too! That is so cool that you are going this Christmas!
I had gone through all of my past Disney trips never even knowing about Pick-a-Pearl until I read the other Jonis (shelbys_mommy) TR. Once I saw it I knew I had to try it! 
My head was hurting, my throat was sore, and my entire body was aching. I still enjoyed the PAP experience, but as you can see by the picture I wasnt feeling well at all.
