Were back!!!
Who went: antss2001(me) and Potsie(my sister the bday gal)
When: Sept. 23 to Oct 1, 2005
Sept. 23: Landed at MCO at around 3:00PM and did the ME (going there was magical wait till I get to the part about us taking the taxi going back to MCO on the 1st). Around 4:00PM we are in line to check in. Did not get the requested room we have but still OK where she (CM = not to happy, maybe because its almost time for her to go home and all she can see is a sea of happy Disney fanatics sometimes that can give anybody a headache you know!) had put us. At the Jazz Inn close to the parking lot, ground floor. Another quiet corner of ASMu since everybody was at the Calypso or Broadway, so cant complain about that. We have Brenda for our Mousekeeper. Really young mousekeeper, no towel artwork BUT keeps the room clean and clean towels were overflowing (that was great!). After we rested we got ready to take the bus to DTD for a bite to eat at Earl of Sandwich. Bus ride was a bit crazy but we survived! Potsie and I had a different order of sandwich so we can split half and get to taste everything. The Dining Plan was AWESOME = a lot of food! After our scrumptious dinner we hop skip to the Gherardelli store for some sweet treats. I had to refrain in going in the marketplace since it is only our 1st night!
Sept. 24: Yes we did get the Mickey Shampoo Bottles this time in our room, I was expecting a dispenser at the tiled bathroom wall since thats what we had last April at the Rockin Inn Bldg. Took our shower got dress and called Enterprise for our rental (economy size for $133 for the whole week a good value I can say). After picking up the car we went back to DTD for more sandwiches and then off to see Flight Plan at AMC P.I. (sound crazy but only when I am on vacation I get to go to see a movie in the theater). A lot of action, story line is not that mind bugling! After the movies off to our 1st table service at the Whispering Canyon. Everything you read about it were true. If you ask for ketchup they bring one to many bottles, if you ask for refill for your drink they bring you a bucket. Food was great and the never-ending milkshakes was awesome. Only thing we encounter that stuck in our mind was the family next to us consisting of a mother a father and 3 kids. Parents were enjoying their meal while kids run around like crazy; even the server was starting to have a distorted face in trying to accommodate those kids without loosing their job. Tip was included in the plan but MYSTERY MAN our server was great, the same one who was very patient to our next table family, they get 15% and we just add a little more to make it 25%.
Also stopped by at the Pop Century for my 1st fairy Drop off (nothing special nor expensive just a simple token of happiness)
Sept.25: Sunday, late morning for us. Since we were a day early from our original plan (we were supposed to drive but opt to fly after the gas scare in GA after Katrina Hit), we were a bit discombobulated. Finally after dilly-dallying we decided to see AKL. Before anything else we have to eat. Ate at the Flame Tree ( I agree one counter service is good enough for 2 guest), had the BBQ pulled beef sandwich and salad a bottle of water, an order of soda with cake and frozen lemonade. Then off to see Tarzan Rocks for the last time since by the time we go back they might be gone. After dancing with Turk off to see the Bugs Life again and again and again. Saw Mickey, Minnie, Pooh , Eeyore and Tigger. After all our paparazzi instinct were satisfied we go back to DTD to see another movie. REDEYE another OK movie I think. After the movies we walk some more scout for more postcards to mail. It was almost 6:00PM time to go back to the hotel to freshen up since we are due at Ohana at 7:45PM to see cousin Lipoa and cousin Carlos ( another great server). No complains with the food, almost the same menu the shrimp is now cooked with teriyaki sauce delicious! At 8:00PM the lights were dimmed since the Wishes fireworks started and yes the music is still piped in. after dinner we walked around, went to the beach to see the EWP and then we went back to the Hotel to catch some zzzs

We aren't going back until April or August but I figure Tinkerbell reads the DIS boards so I wanted to thank her.
