When I last left off, the girls and I were making our way around WS to land at The Beach Club for our early dinner ADR at Cape May Buffet.
The dork that I am, I didn't take any pictures at all until we got to BC - which doesn't make any sense to me - because there are several that I remember taking - I wonder what hapened to them?
It's driving me crazy, because I know I took pictures - and I've been through all my files. Grrr.... Ok - I must move on.
We were headed to the BC about an hour earlier than our ADR time, but we were so tired, that we thought we'd try and get in early and head back to the resort to relax before our Dismeet tonight.
When we arrived at the BC - I had to get a picture of the girls - it is a gorgeous resort that we will probably never stay at.
When we got to Cape May Buffet, they were just starting to accept registrations, so we told them we were there a bit early, and they let us grab a beeper and wait to be seated.
The view from where we chose to sit - it was very nice and cozy:
We found a nice couch to be lazy on - it probably wasn't appropriate - but we chilled - V took a little cat nap.
We were seated after only waiting about 10 minutes. The person who seated us was very nice, and told us where everything in the buffet was located. We had a nice seat, with a sand castle right next to it.
Now, I didn't take any pictures of the buffet or the food. I was feeling really self conscious, because there was a family sitting next to us that was really stuffy and dressed very nicely - and they kept shooting looks at our table. There was nothing odd about us - except that we were Disneyfied. It's not as if we were being loud and obnoxious, or throwing our food, chewing with our mouths open...
We were just talking nicely and enjoying our meal.
Our favorite food, by far, at this buffet was the clam chowder. It was very tasty - perfectly seasoned, and not so creamy and thick that it over powered the taste. I know that the girls and I had way more of this than necessary.
Victoria love the strawberry chesse cake - I think she had more of those than anything else?
And I really liked the pasta salad - I don't remember the name of it, it could have been the Citrus Couscous Salad or the Chicken Arugula Pasta Salad with Mushroom Vinaigrette - I can't remember now. All I said in my journal is that I really liked it, but I didn't say what it was.
***** I will also say, as a very important side note, if you come from an area that doesn't serve a lot of sea food (like the middle states), I highly recommend that you get some crab cracking lessons before you get there. This might have been the reason that the family next to us was giving us such awful looks. I am probably the WORST crab cracker that there ever was. So much so, that whenever I go out to eat crab, either DH or my BFF is with me, and they have to get all my meat out for me. There was crab shells and butter flying everywhere from our table - and I LOVE crab - so I was determined to have me some. I finally had to give up, because it was a worthless cause. Note to self... Next time - perfect my crab cracking skills before I go to a
seafood buffet.
So, we finished up our dinner, and left the resort, stuffed as usual.
We decided to walk down the pier and take the friendship boat to DHS. This was a gorgeous ride, and we got to see a lot of the boardwalk area resorts. I wish we could have spent more time here, because it was just beautiful.
We unloaded at DHS, and then walked to our resort bus.
When we arrived back at our room - our mousekeeper had gone above and beyond... Not only had she left us with a sweet mousekeeping towel animal:
She also left us with a nice toothbrush holder - since ours were just laying haphazardly on our bathroom counter... This was so nice of her - we continued to use it all week!
Allison had also left her backpack open and a pile of clothes around it - the mouskeeper was nice enough to put all of her clothes back in it.
She also took the time to organize our shoes! We loved our mousekeeper!
After we returned to POFQ, the movie courtyard was right outside our room, to the girls went down to watch Stitch, while I relaxed in the room and updated my trip journal.
Our Dismeet was scheduled at 9pm at POR.
Corri met us at our room and we all walked over together.
It was a gorgeous walk along the river.
Funny story: As we were walking along - Allison decided she wanted to go for a jog (ack - after all that walking today??? I can't even move, and she wanted to jog - whatever)... so she removed her flip flops and starting jogging ahead of us. She was just going around a corner about 100 ft. in front of us, when she let out a squeel - made a U turn and started an all out RUN back to us... a few seconds later, around the corner behind her came a horse drawn carriage.
I can only imagine running along a river at night, rounding a corner, looking eye to eye with that horse. ROFL We all laughed soooo hard. And it's not as if she has never seen a horse - she's been riding her whole life. LOL
Anyways, we arrived at POR, and sat in the lobby waiting for everyone else to get there. We called Liddy - and she was on her way, just pulling into the parking lot. Kouga and Akki were even there.
So, we were all sitting there in the lobby, someone texted Oopsi - and she poked her head out of Yee-Haw Bob's (where we were supposed to meet - but it was so loud in there).
Everyone introduced themselves and their families... We got to hear Oopsi's reveal video story from that morning and her Squirrel story - the kids played for a while. We all decided we were soooo tired, so we took a picture.
Front: Oopsi Back L to R: Liddy, D~ & Corri
Everyone said good-bye to Liddy and her family, because they were leaving for home the next morning. My girls were especially sad to see her kids leave - they wished they had much more time together.
Corri and I walked back to POFQ, she dropped us off at our room. The girls and I fell asleep before we hit our door - we think - we were all so tired! We were only on Day 2 - we still had 8 more park days left... I dunno how we are going to make it.
