Day 2 Continued: Sunday October 21st
We got over to Bonnet Creek in almost no time at all and went to the main building to check in. There was a lot of activity going on, there was a line at the check in desk, and DS was being a toddler, so it felt like a VERY long wait until we got up to the counter. We asked about our request for a fireworks view, but there were no units available at the time. He told us we could wait, but that it could be up to 2 hours before one was available, so we just said we'd rather take what was ready now. He did tell us about a model room they open up on the top floor of our building (Building 2) every night that we could watch them from though.
Once we had our rooms keys and parking pass, we moved the car over to the next building and started moving things inside. I did manage to get some pictures of the unit before we moved and spread out.
Coming through the door, the dining room was to the immediate left
Then the kitchen with the breakfast bar
And the living room
Moving through the living room, we come to the...
Master bedroom
Jacuzzi tub and sink/vanity part of the master bathroom
Shower/toilet part of the master bathroom (separated by a door, which made it great for taking showers and getting ready for bed at night!)
Going back to the front door, to the immediate right is the laundry area...
Second bathroom
Second bedroom

We started unpacking, and in talking about what to do that evening, we made the decision to skip church that evening. It really killed me because I HATE missing Mass, and we always go on vacation, but the timing that day was just not lining up. We didn't have time to eat before hand, and with DS not getting a nap I didn't foresee him sitting quietly through Mass or being able to wait until after for dinner. Looking at my PTR, I had also wanted to go to Animal Kingdom that afternoon (Geez, ambitious much?!
) and that obviously wasn't happening. We didn't even feel like getting in the car to go get dinner! So DH ordered us a Dinner Box from Pizza Hut, which was a medium pepperoni pizza, breadsticks, and cinnasticks.
As we moved around in the kitchen, I noticed a huge puddle of water coming from the dishwasher, so we called maintenance to come check it out. The guy ended up showing up as we were eating, which was a little awkward. But the problem ended up being more extensive than he thought and needed a part he couldn't get until the next day. I didn't care really, I was just glad that after unpacking everything they weren't telling us we needed to move!
Also at some point they brought up the highchair and Pack & Play for DS to use.
Right about the time we finished eating, my parents arrived! DS was very excited to see Nonni & Poppi making an appearance. Once we had helped them get their luggage up from their car, we decided to divide up. Poppi & I went to Publix while DH and Nonni stayed back with DS to get him bathed and ready for bed.
My parents, since they were driving, had been able to bring a lot with them foodwise. My mom had gone to Sam's Club to get a huge box of assorted snack packs (Teddy Grahams, Nutter Butters, Chips Ahoy, Oreos, and Ritz Bitz), a box of Pringles snack packs, and a case of bottled waters, Cokes, and orange juice. So what we were going to get was breakfast items for everyone, and the fixings for our taco night later in the week. My dad was so funny in the aisle picking out our tortillas. We talked about soft or hard for a minute before I saw a box of 6 hard shells and 6 soft. Sounded perfect! He started worrying that wasn't going to be enough.
I kept trying to tell him, DH and I would only eat 2 each, DS probably wouldn't even eat one, so that just left him and my mom to have 8 between them and my mom is not a big eater, so she would probably only have 1. I thought I had convinced him it would be plenty, but he snuck off from me later to get a couple of frozen burritos (that he ended up not even eating...Ha!). He also had to pick up something for him and my mom to get that night so he grabbed a little skillet meal for 2, and I got DS's diapers, wipes, and a couple of emergency back up toddler meals just in case.
When we went to check out, all I had with me was DH's wallet since I don't bring a purse on vacation, and my driver's license was in there with our credit cards. I took it out to pay and the guy bagging the groceries says, "Hey, I have that same wallet." I told him that probably was true because it was my husband's. The girl ringing me up obviously hadn't looked at the wallet, because she turned to the bagger when I said that and told him, "I was wondering why you'd have the same wallet as a girl!"
Maybe it was a "you had to be there" moment, but it was pretty funny!
Groceries purchased, it was time to head back to Bonnet Creek. DS had gotten his bath, and I was informed that putting those stickers on his thighs during the hair cut had ended up a bad idea. They had apparently baked on in the sun all day, and were horrible to get off! Words of wisdom, no stickers on the thighs!!
The rest of the night was uneventful. I read DS some books and put him to bed in the PnP in the living room while DH and I closed ourselves in the bedroom to shower and get the park bag packed and ready for the next day! We tried watching some football, but we were both so tired we knocked right out for the night.
UP NEXT: Epcot
Since it was a little before 4 pm, we decided to head out of Magic Kingdom and go over to Bonnet Creek to see if our room was ready.
