Chapter 8: "How many days 'til our next trip?"
Cast:
me, 38, disneyholic mom
Moose dh36, disneyholic dad
Fauna dd15, responsible sister
Flora 16, Faunas friend
Grumpy dd8, stubborn sister
Imp dd4, mischievous sister
Friday, July 8
Breakfast was leftovers, (eat as much as you can of the food still in the fridge.) We packed, checked and double checked the rooms and called bell services to store our bags.
Then we headed to Epcot. As we zip through World Showcase with Soarin' in our sights, the character bus pulls up in front of us. There's no getting out of it, we have to stop. Luckily there are only a few characters we haven't already seen. Out come the books, the pens, let's get in line. Oh, I was so close to my favorite ride. Luckily the character bus doesn't stick around very long and we are soon back on track to Soarin'.
By the time we got to the Land we had to fast pass Soarin, so we got in line to see Circle of Life and had still had plenty of time to make it for our lunch in the Garden Grill.
The Garden Grill is the only place we had any problems the whole trip. They called us for our table, but when we got to it, there was another family already seated. We went back out front and they called us for another table, it was a small booth, no way 6 of us would fit there. So back out front we go for another 10 minute wait and, thankfully, the third table was just right.
We saw Mickey, Chip, Dale, and Pluto (again). This time the characters all signed the soccer ball Fauna bought for her boyfriend. Pluto tried to eat the ball. I guess he thought it was a chew toy.
The food was ok. We do prefer the old menu. The breadstick appetizer was not very good. Dale didn't think so either. He was carrying around breadsticks in his pocket. His handler came and "argued" with Dale about the breadsticks. Told Dale to throw then away. Dale ripped a piece of the breadstick off and threw it over the wall into the desert area of the "Living with the Land" ride.
After lunch we had to ride Living with the Land (yes, we did find the bread in the scenery) and then hit Soarin' one last time.
Back to Beach Club to wait for our Magical Express bus. The bus came right on time. We were sad to go, but cant wait for the next magical trip. (I promise, less princess meals next time .)
During the flight home, Moose looks at me and says, "How many more days 'til our next trip?" Gotta love a diehard disney dad.
