Sunday, March 2:
We parked at Epcot, and jetted over to MK on the monorail, since we would be returning to Epcot later for dinner and Illuminations. WE 'drove' the monorail in front, got our co-pilots license and enjoyed talking with the driver.
Even though it was Sunday, MK was mobbed. Through clever FP usage and good planning, we knocked out Fantasyland by by about 11:30 and headed to Haunted Mansion. As we exited HM, it began to drizzle, so we for a FP for Splash Mtn, and ate at Pecos Bills. After lunch, the rain had temporarily cleared, BUT as we entered the loading area for Splash, a monsoon hit. Luckily I had my trusty yellow poncho handy!!
We made our way through Adventureland, not riding Pirates since I couldn't justify a 45 minute wait (sheesh), and got my obligatory Dole Whip, and we made or way to Tommorowland. We FP'ed most everything. My gun wasn't working great on Buzz, but we did well. My thumb always hurts after that ride... We hit Space Mtn 2 times in a row! We paused for the 3 o'clock parade, where I ran into some folks I know from Atlanta, and I spoke with them.
After that, we headed back to Epcot, for some shopping and our 7:30 PS at the Rose and Crown in the UK. WE had asked for an outdoor table of course, and as we waited, we grabbed a pint in the pub. Now, the CM's at Rose and Crown always make a big deal about not being able to guarantee an outdoor table, but I'll tell you, they have never let me down once. Dinner was great, I love the salad with stilton dressing. Illunimations was great as always. Exhausted we headed home.
I woke EARLY on Monday moring, 4:30 am, to make my 7:10 flight back to Atlanta. I made it safely, and got to work by 10:45, completely worn out, but covered in Pixie Dust and with a huge smile on my face... Can't wait to go back in April...
