Tut-Tut, it Looks Like Rain! May '09 Trip Report. *Finished! 9/27 Pg. 69.

I'm glad to hear that you got to rest. I hope the next day will be much better. I would love to be in a Disney gift shop right now!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

You know, we learned this trip that some plans are just made to be broken and flexibility on a Disney trip can be a good thing!
It looks like you and Jen did they best thing you could have done, got some rest, enjoyed a movie and then a yummy dinner. Way to go!

My guess on the towel animal is a rhino too,

Does this mean it's my turn to update?

 

[Megablocks]

I'm not sure what the mystery towel animal is!

I'm sorry you were in so much pain! I agree that EPCOT is incredibly exhausting. My mom and I go there multiple times during our trip not only because it's our mutual favorite, but because it's SO huge and we always manage to miss something.

I can't remember who mentioned the moisture-wicking socks, but I totally agree. I got several pairs from Kohls right before our February trip and didn't have any issues with blisters. I think that Target sells them, too.

I can't wait for the MK update! I LOVE it, especially in the morning.

 

[If U Had Wings]

My first thought was pig on the towel animal, but it's not a emphatic guess.

Sorry the afternoon was so rough. It's the bad feet, they'll throw you completely out of wack every time.

 

[Roxychica7]

I vote rhino too! I like the Prince and Me and totally agree that the 2nd one is horrible. I think Julia Styles made it. I hate when they do sequals and change the leading roles!
I love unexpected naps though. Blake and I took one our first day last trip and ended up sleeping for 3 hours! It was awesome though because we were able to stay out at Downtown Disney that night and was still refreshed for the next day!

Aww I really enjoyed our evening of watching movies and just relaxing, like I said before a lot of it was just about us being able to get to another each other and not over do it!

You were in a lot of pain I could tell and just pushing yourself would have made it even worse, our relaxing night was just what we needed!

Well the line for food wasn't that bad and boy were those burgers good...of course that was the beginning of the root beer connection!

In case you haven't caught on yet, LL and I tend to think alike and have a lot in common that its pretty freaky. Well we both ordered the exact same meal and I went to go get my drink and then she went to get hers. Well I said I bet I can guess what drink you got?? Root beer?? I was right!! We both had gotten root beer...another just eery coincidence in our lives LOL!!!! It was great...root beer would come back to play a role at another meal later!!

Great update my friend...and yes I have movie anxiety...I can't watch scary movies and I hate not knowing that its all going to end up okay! I'm a weird basketcase I know!

PS...I still think its a hippo...not sure about the rhino LOL

 

[princess&her4princes]

Yay, an update!!

My guess would be hippo too on the animal towel! So sorry you had Epcot overload but it sounds like you girls made the best of things and had a ncie quiet night...sometimes that's what you need...afterall, you're on vacation!!!! I'm going to have to remember that for my upcoming trip and make sure to stick to some down time....or it's too much!!!

 

[BellaSoleil]

I'm so glad that you girls got to rest and watch a movie. One of the great moments in friendship are just vegging out and watching a chick flick.

 

[MEK]

Thanks for the update. Glad you decided to stay in and give your feet a rest, even though I was looking forward to hearing about Sanna. That place looked so cool. I went in there early one morning to snap some pictures. Once I saw it, I really wanted to eat there. Very cool light fixtures. But that meal will just have to wait for me and for you!

Glad you guys got some bonding time. I bet you will wake up ready to go the next day!

 

[julezdisney]

Like the update. Chillin' @ the hotel sounds heavenly actually. Sad about your feet!

 

[MRYPPNS]

I too love cheap cheeseburgers! I was just thinking that I didn't have enough cheeseburgers when we were at Disney.... another reason to go back!

 

[TravelBug86]

LL!
Just a lurker coming out of the shadows. I've been really enjoying your TR! As for the towel animal All I can say is it must've been someone's first day on the job? If I had to pick one I'd go with the rhino cause of the peak on it's nose as you said.

 

[jordanyosh]

I'm glad u were able to get some rest. Sometimes, it's hard to remember it's vacation.......

Those burgers look awesome.

 

[kschafer]

Sorry about the cranky afternoon and such a bummer to be rained on so much!

I'm going to go with Rhino or Pig on the towel animal

The burger doesn't look as good as the filet but still looks wonderful compared to my "real world" food I've got in front of me

 

[poegirl30]

Glad that you were able to rest! Our last trip we had to cancel one of our ADRs after an exhausting day. (Pizza in the room was pretty good after a hard day! ) Sometimes you just have to do what you need to. Can't wait to read more!

 

[MeMom]

Delicious! Disney Burgers are just yummier then everyday real life burgers.

After we ate we checked out the gift shop. It was cute. I bought a magazine and some pins. This started the pin addiction of this trip. I bought Jen and I each a mystery box of Haunted Mansion pins. I think I bought.......10 of those puppies while I was there. Serious addiction and I still didn't get the one I really wanted!

It was still raining when we left so I didn't get to take any pictures. We settled back into our room in our pj's, watched some tv and went to bed. We had a date with the Magic Kingdom in the morning!

One of the best burgers I have ever had on Disney property was at All-Star Sports. It was perfect - so delicious, and the one and only I have ever had there.

Checked out the gift shop. Good girls!

Settling into jammies and watching TV, getting those feet up for some well-deserved rest, Magic Kingdom ahead....good stuff!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Sometimes a nice relaxing evening is exactly what is needed -- you did a ton of stuff at Epcot and watching movies, eating in the food court, and browsing through the gift shop was a perfect way to spend the rest of the day.

I think the towel animal looks like a dog. Who knows though -- it's a mystery towel animal for sure.

Those cheeseburgers do look super delicious. All of the food pictures I am seeing on TRs today is really making my stomach growl!

 

[MegansMom]

I'm glad you were both comfortable enough to lay down and chill out for a bit!!! YUMMY burgers!!!!

 

[jenharring]

I didnt know you were writing a tr. Well I'm here now! I need to get ready for work but I will get all caught up tonight. This will give me some nice reading tonight.

 

[Scrapbook Stacy]

I think it is a rhino too! Yea for an update about the mannatees!
