Day EIGHT
We decided to go back to MGM to see if we could have better luck with crowds. We got to Playhouse Disney about an hour before the show and there was already quite a line, but we figured we'd better do it since our trip was almost over. And of course it was worth the wait because the boys LOVED it.
They always do. After that dh took older ds to the HISTK playground while younger ds and I walked around and got a snack. Then we all met back up to do the meet and greet with Buzz, Woody, and Jessie... and also Mike and Sully. By the time we finished all of that it was time for our PS at the Sci Fi Dine In Theatre! My favorite lunch spot in MGM! They were super backed up and we ended up waiting an extra 20-30 minutes 
but it was worth it. We had a car for 4, so we didn't have to share with anyone, and I had the burger and onion rings, dh did too, and the kids had corn dogs and fries. Our server was really funny and joked when I ordered a "Red Lava" drink that he was bringing one for himself too. 
Oh, we had a couple of shocking events on this day... to read more check this:

After that we headed back to the BCV's for naps. The boys loved seeing the ducks and fish near the boat launch each time. We even saw a big turtle swimming with a baby. It was neat.
When the naps were over it was raining. So our plan to go to Epcot or DTD was scrapped and we decided to eat at Beaches n Creme and stay dry! It was a good choice, dh had a burger and fries, the kids had grilled cheese, and I had a side of onion rings because I was saving room for dessert! Two different tables of people ordered the Kitchen Sink, man that thing is huge! I chose the Mud Slide and it was soooooooo good! It's a big chocolate brownie with 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. We couldn't even finish it all, which NEVER happens for me when it comes to chocolate. 
After dinner we walked around the resort, and ds rented another dvd from the store. We went back to the room and watched Illuminations from the balcony. So the rain didn't ruin our fun. It actually felt nice to rest and get a good night's sleep.
