I have a bit on vacation of setting my alarm for about 5:45. This gives me time to wake up and have a hot bath and prepare for my day, before most restaurants open for breakfast at 7 a.m. Even the food courts open at that time. I had ordered my room-service breakfast to arrive at 7a.m. Exactly at that time I had 2 waiters, very nicely dressed deliver my breakfast. I had ordered my breakfast, and a few items for my sleeping grandson. They brought it in, and it was on real dishes and with real linen napkins and also a tableclothe for the table. Had I not had 2 sleepy head in bed, they would have set the table for me. I tipped them, and set the table myself. Everything was wonderful. What was supposed to be cold, was cold. What was supposed to be out was hot. Lots of extra jelly, margarine, sugar. Really a nice treat for me.
I decided to take a stroll over to the Swan and Dolphin Hotels to check them both out. It is not that far from the Beach Club. I found the Mickey watch, that I was looking for, in one of the gift shops.
Friday was our day for lunch at the castle. We had designed our own shirts, with a previous picture of the 3 of us with Cinderella. Our t-shirts got us lots of special attention. There were 5 princesses that day. Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Snow WHite, and Mary Poppins (who technically is not a princess). Lunch was delicious. Service outstanding. Desert was yummy. We saw the fairygodmother on the way out. We took lots of pics and got lots of autographs.
We stopped at Ariel's Gortto for pictures and autographs. There was a man behind us, that had gotten in line. He thought he was in line for a ride. Some people see a line and just jump right in, not even knowing what it is for. I guess they figure that there probably will be some magic at the end.
I then went to ToonTown and got all of the Pooh characters autographs that were available. THe usual 4.
I then headed to Main Street and viwed the afternoon parade while sitting on a bench in the shade, next to Tony's Restaurant. After shopping for pins, I stopped at the Silouhette stand and had a siloouhette done of myself. I then took a bus back to the Beach Club. After a brief rest and depositing my packages, I was off to Epcot. Just a brief stroll from the Beach Club through the International Gateway.
When I was at Epcot, I did not see one character. Guess I just was not in the right place at the right time. I concentrated on visiting the Kidcot spots and almost finished getting my passporter stamped.
I then had a decision to make. Stay at Epcot or go to Magic Kingdom for Wishes. I opted for the monorail to the Transportation and Ticket Center. I took the ferry over to the Magic Kingdom. Caught a few glimpses of the Electrical Water Pagent. I arrived in time for Wishes. Watched it from half way down Main Street. Much better view, than too close to the castle.
It was late night at Magic Kingdom, but my feet hurt, so I took the bus back to the Beach Club. Need to get up early, we have an early seating at Cape May for Breakfast. Have you ever hung out with the goof?
