Purpose of Trip
Convert more family members to becoming Disney Lovers and celebrate our 30th anniversary
DD and DDF were out late last night with friends from home at Pleasure Island so this morning we are down to a Party of 5! After arriving on time for EMH at MK
we ride POC,Haunted Mansion and some of the Fantasyland attractions for the last time. By about 10:00 the park is crowded so we decide to head over to MGM as youngest DD wants to see Beauty and the Beast. We wait for a long time at the Bus Transfer Point and are turned away from B & B as we are 5 minutes late. 
This leads to an unexpected pleasure.We decide to grab some lunch to fill in time before the next show.After passing by some counter style restaurants which just don't appeal to us today we check at Prime Time and they are able to seat us right away!(The time is before 12,perhaps 11:30) I had always wanted to go here and we are not dissapointed. Our server is very humourous and embarrasses DS "Look everyone, Andrew is playing with his food again" 
Our food here is delicious.We recommend the pot roast. DD enjoys vegetarian stuffed peppers.We finish just in time for the next B&B.A great show.The "kids" especially like the preshow with 4 for a dollar 
. Back to CSR and we meet up with DD and DDF and all head for the pool despite the cool 
and cloudy weather.It is our last day and DD has not yet had a chance to tan! We warm up in the hot tub and pretend that we are not shivering as we sit by the beautiful pool at CSR. We take some time to observe the turtles and birds around the lake today 
.For our last Dinner we head to Whispering Canyon.This was our absolute favourite meal last year. We laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes.Sadly, this was just not the same. Our server and the other servers (we were right beside the serving station) were preoccupied with a large party about to arrive to celebrate a 60th Birthday at the next table.The room was quiet and the servers were not doing any of their regular stunts.We saw no ketchup,large drinks etc.The server also added an 18% gratuiity charge to our bill despite the fact that there were only 7 in our party and the bill clearly states that the automatic gratuity is only added to parties of 8 or more.We generally tip around 20% or more so we did not dispute this but felt it was somewhat unfair and it did not occur at any other restaurants on our trip,(perhaps she did not count how many people she was serving?)Oh well, her loss!.The restaurant appeared to liven up later after we left.But we will not return here. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary on this trip (although we did not announce it)and felt that probably every family having dinner at WCC that night was celebrating something special so it was too bad to put so much emphasis on one party that all others were neglected. Next up EMH at MGM 
.This was one of our best experiences.The fast passes were still working and we were invited to a special surprise showing of Fantasmic only open to Resort guests at 9. After a final ride on R&RC and a quick trip on T of T we return to CSR to pack.
Our flight left at 10.DD and I swam at 6 in the quiet pool and then we all left sadly for the airport.
We really enjoy the Mickey
wake up calls but this year Stitch seems to be taking over, however DD told she had set up the wake up calls for all 3 rooms on our last day so we wouldn't miss the plane and DH and I were tickled to recieve an anniversary call from Mickey on our last morning!Too cute!Thanks DD
