We got there right as the first Spectro was starting... YIKES 
Holy Moly Crowded!!! We weaved our way down Main Street and headed over to Tomorrowland and hit the Laugh Floor. We always skip the first parade when they do two since the second one is always dead. After Laugh Floor I went down to the Hub to watch Wishes while DH took the kids on Buzz and Stitch. They still get pretty freaked out about fireworks, so they wanted to get away from the sound. I didn't mind because it gave me a chance to walk down in front of the castle all by myself to enjoy the show. 
I really wanted to get an ice cream cookie sandwich on Main Street but I was still stuffed from Kona and couldn't do it. I'm hoping to grab one tomorrow on our last day! We've got about a dozen snack credits left... so tomorrow we'll be trying to use those up. 
I rolled over, looked at the clock, and was shocked! I guess we were pretty wiped out. We hurried to get dressed and went to Disney Studios hoping to catch a few shows. We lucked out and managed to fit in Indiana Jones, Playhouse Disney, and Star Tours. We had lunch at Pizza Planet. 
My suggestion is to keep the parade moving and forget the stopping to put on a show part. Also get rid of about 90% of the dancers... nobody cares about college program kids sweating their butts off. 
We want characters!!! My kids did catch a ball at the end, so they were happy about that. But fought over who got to hold it for the rest of the day. 
Who invented this show??? 
Pooh breakfast at Crystal Palace, MK, and dinner at Ohana.
It is unseasonably cool here in New England. A little warmer today but not like it is going to be for me in 4 days!!!! Thanks so much for your great report!! Have a great last day and enjoy!!!
Dinner at Kona... ahhhhhh... always my favorite!I topped mine off with the lava cake.... soooo good!
Monday, May 5th... day 6 of the trip!
After our 2:00 AM EMH at MK last night we didn't even wake up this morning until 10:45!!!
I have to dedicate a whole paragraph to the block party bash. Today was a Monday in May... you wouldn't think that is a very busy time at WDW... but the block party bash was a NIGHTMARE!!! First of all I think the whole idea stinks. A parade is much easier to see and enjoy than this street show idea. Basically the parade stops and puts on a show. So depending on where you are sitting you can only see certain characters and parts of the parade. We were right in front of the Monsters Inc section. It was cute but it had way, way, way too many kids dancing when really I think people want to see characters, not dancers. And because it doesn't move everyone starts trying to move up and down the street to see different areas. The first main section is the Toy Story section, but we only saw it for a few seconds as it drove past us. Then the 3rd and last section was Bugs Life, but we couldn't see it at all. So basically we saw Monsters Inc and that was it. At the end of the show Mr. and Mrs. Incredible popped out of the tops of the floats, but they were so high up I don't think my kids could even see them. It seemed odd to me.
(Tuesday, 5/6) Also we hit Photopass again... I'm hoping to get some great pics once we get home with the photopass coupon I have. 
(lots of pics coming) It really didn't start to get crowded until around 1:00 PM when we were in Fantasyland. So we left MK and headed back to BC for swimming. The BC is really great if you are pool type people who love to just layout, take a dip, and relax. I didn't even know I was a pool person until this trip. 
But I really am I think. The BC has a great atmosphere, the kids love all the games, activities, music, prizes, etc, so they were happy and busy for hours. Every day they had something different, dunk games, critter round up, making t-shirts, line dancing, bingo, water volleyball, etc. We took advantage of the tube rental, for the lazy river, and we really enjoyed Hurricane Hannas for beverages. 
I finally understand why some people are just in love with this resort. It reminded me a lot of the summers I spent in Myrle Beach as a child, I highly recommend BC if you think this is the type of resort you're looking for! The only downside... SAND in your PANTS! Our room was covered in sand everyday. No matter how much we'd try to rinse our suits out we never got the sand out. And even as I unpack there is sand in all the suitcases. 
That was the only thing that bugged me! And we all got sunburned, oops!!! But we knew it was our last day and we'd be back to the cold Indiana weather, so it was worth it. 
We got quotes for October and they had availability at GF, CR, BC, BWI, WL, and AKL. The only deluxe they didn't have was Poly. So we booked CR wing room for like $280 I think it was. I still haven't looked up the rack rate to see if that is a good deal... but CR is the only WDW resort we haven't tried yet so we are determined to keep it! They didn't have the tower, only tower club level, but I think the wing will be nice. We can walk to MK and the bigger square footage will be nice. 
It's chocolate cake with hot liquidy chocolate inside. YUMMMMMMMM!!!!
I miss it so much already. We got home about an hour ago and it's freezing cold here. I had to turn the heat on!!!
Oops, sorry, it's not actually called lava cake, but that is pretty much what it is. I think it's official name is Kilahua Torte. (sorry that probably isn't spelled right and I'm too lazy to go look it up at allearsnet)
Enjoy Kona... my favorite!!!
