Rise and shine!!! We are up, showered and have had breakfast with plenty of time to get to the airport. Before that I have to head down to guest services and check-in, as todays reservation is separate. (Using our DVC points). We head to the airport and quickly find a parking spot. We head to the gate and what a mob scene!!! The line for check-in intersected with the line for security!! I think because of all the bad weather the airport was busier than normal. The flight is on time and we load up our friends luggage and head back to the hotel. We head upstairs so they can shower before we hit the parks. It turns out that a couple days before our trip, Monica fell at work and sprained her ankle. Funny they didnt mention that before
While Kevin and I are excited to get to the parks, our friends dont seem to have that same sense of urgency. They kind of loll around the room, slowly getting ready. Finally I have to get out there. Kevin and I head to Walgreens to pick up an ace bandage for Monica. As we are driving, Kevin and I discuss what a waste the day is turning out. Monica cant walk more than a few feet, they are still getting ready and it is almost 1:30
in the AFTERNOON! We decide to bite the bullet and forgo the parks today. We head back to the hotel and find a company that will rent us a wheelchair for the week. The chair finally shows up and we are off.
The original plan called for EPCOT at park open with PS at Le Cellier at 2 p.m. After that I wanted to hit MGM for late night. Now after months and months of planning, we scrapped those plans, turned everything upside down and headed for Downtown Disney instead. We hit up Earl of Sandwich again and then hit some stores. We make our way over to Ghirardelli for our buy-one-get-one free sundaes. After that we decided it is too late in the afternoon for much of anything. We had purchased park hopper plus passes and since Pleasure Island is a no-go with the wheelchair, we decide Disney Quest might be fun. We had such a good time, Dave and I did a 5 on the Virtual Space Mountain and we LOVED the Pirates of the Caribbean experience. We probably would have gone back on that one multiple times if we werent so exhausted.
We left Downtown Disney and head for the Beach Club. It was a beautiful night and the temperature was perfect. We took a long walk around the pool area and then headed to Beaches and Cream for dinner. The restaurant was busy, but not packed. We waited about 5 minutes for a table. We all had burgers and shakes and they were so yummy!! Kevin and I split while Dave and Monica had their own. They were nice enough to not only split the burger and fries, but they split the shakes too! And we all know how much I like to share my food J
We then headed back to the hotel to try and get some sleep. Monica and Dave had no problem since they had been up for almost 24 hours. We had to get up rather early as we now had plans to go to the park instead of going to the water park tomorrow.
