Thanks for the update! I hate it that it is cold! Yuk! I am keeping my fingers crossed it warms up. I have never tried pizza in France, I will have to give it a try this time.

I forget the name it was called, it was sort of like a french bread type pizza... long shape with your choice of either plain cheese or ham and cheese. The quiches and the sandwiches also looked pretty good. And of course the best part of France, the pastries!!!

We just got back to the room from a fun night at Hollywood Studios (extra magic hours from 7-10). We did Toy Story, Playhouse dance party, Tower of Terror, Rock n Roller Coaster, Animation area, uhhhh, I think that's about it. Wait times were moderate. Our longest wait was about 40 minutes for Toy Story and 30 or so for RnR. ToT was about 15. Not too bad. The weather is still cool, high tomorrow is only supposed to be 69 so I guess we'll be wearing our sweatshirts again.

I have to cut it short tonight! We have an early Pooh breakfast at Crystal Palace in the morning.

Night night all!!!

Wow it sure is chilly. I can't imagine being cold in WDW, were always there in the summertime

If its easier, you could take pics of the DP snack credits.

Do you happen to know if the items over at YC accept the DP? TIA

My son's favorite is the "french bread' pizza in France...we now make it at home too!

Hey guys! Love reading this thread, I love to close my eyes and pretend I'm there. Only 6 more weeks and I won't have to pretend! Anyway, glad you're all having fun. I have a couple of info requests for you if you don't mind. If you're in Epcot WS at all can you get an idea of the cost to do the pick a pearl in Japan. I want to do this for myself, my DD4 and a gift for my mother. I'm thinking we would all get some kind of necklace but have no idea how much to budget for it. Any info or pics of choices would be super helpful. And can you keep an eye out for the characters you see as you go? I'm making autograph books for our May trip and am curious who you are seeing. TIA and have fun for all of us stuck at home right now!

It depends on what you want to do after the parade. If you are leaving the park after the parade then I would recommend watching near the fire station or the big camera store. Or near the flagpole. Something in that general area. If you are planning to ride rides after the parade I would recommend Frontierland, we like to be by the shooting arcade or down near the turkey leg stand.

Thanks for the info! Enjoy the rest of your trip and thanks for keeping us updated--feels like we are there with you!!

Glad to hear it FEELS "hot". It's only 68 degrees there today. I guess the sunshine makes it feel warmer! Good to know!!!

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

its gotta be warmer than 68, I am sunburned!! The pool was really hopping today, not many empty chairs. I'd say it easily felt like high 70's once you got in the direct sun. Definitely warm enough for swimming.

We had the Pooh breakfast this morning at Crystal Palace, the bus was waiting for us when we walked down and we got there in perfect time. It was nice getting in ahead of the rush. We stopped for a quick pic on Main Street.

Breakfast was great, man I love that deep fried french toast, and the mickey shaped chocolate chip pancake made to order. Yummmm

After breakfast we hit a few rides we missed the other night, crowds were moderate. I'd say most rides were 15, 20, 30 minutes on average. Space Mountain was 60 when we left the park at 1:00 PM. That was the longest wait I saw.

We spent the whole afternoon at the pool. My oldest DS won Bingo, and youngest DS came in 3rd place for Musical Stars.

We are trying to figure out what we want to do tonight. I'm in the mood to go to DTD, we haven't been there yet. MK and Studios are both open until 10:00 PM.

Pics from today will come soon!!!!

We love it! I think its definitely our favorite pool on property. My youngest loves building in the sand, and both boys love the slide and the little whirlpool area. They always have really fun games in the afternoons... hula hoop contests, water volleyball, Bingo, etc, and the pool is so huge you never feel like people are too close. Sometimes finding chairs can be difficult, but I'm happy sitting on the edge of the pool with my legs hanging in. The other pools on property feel like regular pools, SAB feels more like a water park.

We will be back over to Epcot tomorrow night for dinner so I will run into Japan and check.

Characters we've seen.... lets see... at Epcot we saw meet and greets with Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland at the UK. Belle and the Beast, Snow White, Aladdin and Jasmine, all around the World Showcase. I'll try to keep a list.

Checked the Marketplace (beach club) and they did not have whole wheat english muffins, only the regular ones.

Great pics!!! Your boys look like you. It looks like everyone is having a great time. I have to know, where did the black crossbody Mickey bag come from? Too cute!!!

 

[disneylissy]

I'm new here. I believe this is my first post, and I just wanted to say I'm really enjoying your live trip report. I have your Travel Channel special saved on my DVR and watch it all the time. I can't believe how much your boys have grown! You have a beautiful family. Thanks for the honest review of the Yacht Club. Have you ever stayed CL at AKL? I would love to do that someday.

 

[disadventurer]

Hi, again. One more question. Can you let me know where that cute picture of your DS with the UP balloons was taken? TIA

 

[rksbb]

Love the report. Just what I needed to read on my packing break...we leave Friday!!! Can't hardly wait..

Isn't that cute?? My Mom bought that in Epcot yesterday. It also comes in khaki and white. She got it at the store right as you enter the World Showcase from Future World.
