Sunday, May 10th
Today was an exciting day because it was Mother's Day and our 7 year anniversary! We woke up at the a$$ crack of dawn because we had an 8:10am ADR at Crystal Palace. I booked this ADR so we could get into the park before it opened! We hoped on the Monorail again to the MK!
It was AWESOME being in the practically empty park! We took a ton of pictures and then headed to the CP for breakfast. We took this while we waited:
So, we were seated pretty quickly and I immediatly spotted Amber (bertegirl) and her family. I waited for the waiter to take our drink order and then went over to say "Hello!" Jenny and Emily became instant friends!
The characters were still on the other side of the restaurant so we went to the buffet and found many yummy breakfast goodies!
My Plate:
Mike's Plate:
Emily's Plate:
Here come the characters:
Emily kept asking, "Where's Darby?"
The food was hot and tasty! We have eaten here for dinner before and it was good, but breakfast was definitely better! The character interaction and wait staff were attentive. We give CP
With full bellies, we headed to Adventureland for some adventure!
And then....our camera battery DIED!! We forgot to charge it the night before. Bummer!
There was no one in the parks this morning! We stopped to see Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, which I have Photopass pictures of...I really need to order that CD soon! We rode Aladdin's Magic Carpets, rode the Jungle Cruise, Pirates, and took turns riding Splash Mountain and BTMRR. I can't wait until Emily is tall enough for Splash. Her favorite part of Pirates and Maelstrom is the drop so I think she'll LOVE Splash! Then we went to Liberty Square to ride the Haunted Mansion! Emily called this one the Ghost Hunters ride!! It was getting close to our lunch ressie at the Plaza so we started heading for the Hub where the Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It block party was happening. Mike and Emily danced with Woody and Jessie! Man, I can't believe our camera battery was dead, I could have had some great pictures!
Anyway, we headed to the Plaza where I ran into Wayne, Myles and Owen as we waited outside. I said "Hi" and looked forward to meeting Nickie inside! We were seated in about 10 minutes and across the room I saw Nickie! I waved and placed my order! After we ordered, nickie came over to our table to say "Hi!" and she was wearing the cute t-shirt Wayne and the boys made for her! It was like meeting up with an old friend!
Mike had the Grilled Reuben - thinly sliced corned beef on grilled marble rye with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing which Mike said was good, but he has definitely had better. The corned beef was a little dry.
I had the Turkey Sandwich - smoked turkey, bacon, lettuce, vine ripened tomato and mayonnaise on toasted multi-grain bread, served with German potato salad which was appetizing! The turkey was nice and juicy and perfectly light after eating a full breakfast.
For dessert, Mike had the New York Style Cheesecake served with strawberries and I had the Brownie Sundae - vanilla ice cream and a fudge brownie topped with hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry. Both were very good, but we were too full to eat a lot of them.
The service at the Plaza was wonderful, but it's not a place I would put on my must do list. It was nice to sit down, be waited on and be out of the heat, but the food was sub-par! We rate the Plaza
Once again, our tummies were full and it was pool/nap time so we headed back to the Poly for some refreshing relaxy time!
Up Next: Day 4 - May 10, 2009 cont....California Grill and the BIG change!
. I will wear my camisole under it when I want to wear it so the clothing police will let me out of the house 
.
I think this time we saw an old lady wearing short shorts and a lady get in a big fight with a cast member! Entertainment
