We relaxed for a bit once we got home. I started to get ready. I had some really special stuff planned for that night!!!!
DF got ready and we were off again, and just missed the boat!! No time to wait, we walk and get to the gate and I hear an exploitive from behind me in a rather familiar voice.
"I forgot my key" DF said to me
"You are kidding?" I begged. "Please tell me you are joking!"
He wasn't joking. We needed to be there by 7:00 (to ensure the diver), but we couldn't get in without his ticket and so we headed back to the Boardwalk.... I was mad. Trying not to show it, but mad. But I knew that things could still happen. We decided to pay for a taxi, so while he got his ticket, David, the sweet doorman to our home, summoned a taxi for me and DF joined me and we were off....
6:55 p.m we pulled up to the Epcot and ran for the enterance. There is a line... my luck right? So we get through at 6:59 and race to the Coral Reef. We got there at 7:05 and I checked us in, explaining that Debbie should have had us down for 7 even though our reservation was for 8:30 p.m. I wasn't sure we were going to get the diver but we were going to have a good time regardless.
They brought us down and sat us RIGHT AT THE TANK!!!! I got the real menu, and DF got his special one. He sat there and stared at it and what I wrote to him and started to tear up... He got up and came over to give me a hug. Then we got to picture taking!
Our CM here knew everything that was going on and played along great. She asked to take our picture at one point..... This is what it looked like.
Yep... There is the diver in the background. The whole resturant went "Happy Birthday DF" and he thought it was the button until I alerted him to the sign behind him and his reaction... "That is sooooo cool! How did you do all this?" And I filled him in on how I conducted everything and that everyone knew except him.
His reaction was priceless...."Now what in Hockeysticks am I going to do for your birthday?"
He loved the fish and we even named them.....The pictures are a little blury so I won't post them.
We got drinks! I got lemonade with a glow Captian Hook and a Reef Runner and DF got a Blue-tini!
We ordered. He got Crab Cakes, Lobster Bisque and a chicken dish, and I got the Pesto Rizzoto and Corn Chowder. The corn Chowder was amazing! In fact the whole meal was delicious.
But desert topped it all. I got the chocolate wave, which was heaven on a plate. DF got Baileys and Jack Daniel's Mousse which came with a little happy birthday chocolate wave and a candle!
We sang again!
He couldn't wait to eat the chocolate!
After dinner was over, we talked about what to do.... DF mentioned the Magic Kingdom's magic hours. We decided to go for it!
But before:
Up Next: Can we make it to the close of the Magic Kingdom?
