Weekend with the Grizwald's ~ Friday!

[DizzyBell]

Well we started our morning at CSR Pepper Market with our favorite breakfast... eggs and bacon (hold the carbs LOL). As the days go on you will understand why I am laughing at this. We headed over to Epcot to go on "Soarin". We loved this when we were there in May and went on it 5 times then but this trip we would only experience it once due to crowds and no fast passes available at the time we needed. I just love this ride. It is probably my favorite new experience at WDW. Please do not miss this attraction if you go to WDW.. it is indeed worth the wait. We then headed over to "Ellen" to see our Dinosaur's but really to cool down a bit and be entertained by Ellen and Bill Nye the Science Guy. When we exited we decided that we should go on Space Ship Earth as it too is a great place to cool down. The heat this weekend was oppressive! For us to say that .... you know it was HOT! We are "park warriors" and this was the first time I can honestly say it slowed us down. We tried to get a fast pass for Test Track but it was temporarily shut down... "bummer". Well, once again we hopped over to MGM and decided to have lunch there at the "Back Lot". Not a great place but if you are planning on just a burger and fries it would suffice you to say the least. After eating ...the kids decided to go on RockNRoll Coaster and were actually able to get on twice back to back they were thrilled. We then went to Millionaire and my DH ended up in the Hot Seat. He was in the Hot Seat in May and his 30 days had passed so he was able to get in once again. He once again received his Hat and Pins and was shot down to win his shirt and pin set. Well.... I am sure he will try again. Next we were headed towards the shops while the kids went on TOT. Normally DH would go on TOT but this time he decided to stay with me and go in and out of the shops. DS and his friend wanted to stay while we went back to CSR to change for dinner. We told them we would meet them at Portabello Yatch Club. Our dinner as always was "great"... Kudos to Antonio our waiter who was working for the first time and we tried to make it easy on him. I ordered an Appletini and it was delicious and the Pasta Pouches for appetizers are a must for our family so we usually order those. I had the Chicken and the rest of our party had pasta and of course dessert just couldn't be achieved after eating all that we did... especially the bread and olive oil. We then headed over to the MK to do Spectro Magic and Wishes... "I just love "Wishes" and can see it over and over again. We contemplated on having our Dole Whip to watch the parade... which is a tradition of ours but we were still too full from dinner. After the fireworks we quickly headed to PI to get to the Comedy Warehouse to see a show. The show was good but once again no Krista or Mary. We wanted to stay for the last show that night but we knew we would be getting up early to go to AK so we headed back to CSR. I am so glad we took this quick weekend!

The comedy warehouse is our favorite, as well. How many years have you been going? By chance, do you remember Greg? He was fantastic. Last I knew, he moved to NY. Honestly, it amazes me just how good they all are. Can you imagine having to come up with the things they do so quickly? We always have a great time.

Krista and Mary performed at CW on Tuesday of last week! We were only at the first show and it wasn't the best i'd seen them do but i still enjoy watching them. They both look like they've lost weight and they sing soooo pretty. Enjoying your report; we were there at the same time!!!

Yes... I do remember Greg. We have been going for several years. It is a "must do ~ every night" we are in WDW. Our son does Improv for the past three years at college and one time he played "schmeperdy" with them. He was thrilled to be able to just have fun with those he admired. Jake , Matt, Phillip and Brian and so many others are there to entertain us and are so very talented. It would not be a vacation without sharing our evenings with such entertaining people. Thanks guys! I have a photo of our son with Krista and Jake taken after the show that evening.... a memory our son will cherish.

11 month till Jack is Back!
