More of Day 5) On our way to MK .I think?
So I last left you w/ us deciding to stay at the MP and have lunch here we opted for Earl of Sandwich and were able to find a table to sorta fit the 7 us. My Mom went in first w/ Michael to order their food and I waited w/ the girls. I think Matt was taking a rest room break, cause I remember waiting awhile on my own .
He then got food for the girls and us, I didnt even look at a menu I just told him you know what I like turkey, bacon, ranch, tomato and lettuce .
He did well because my sandwich was
I believe Michael and Mae both had the pizza sandwich and Aldine had a meatball one:
The sandwiches were so yummy, fresh and toasty hot a huge difference from the local sub place back home. They were almost too-big for one child to eat, but w/ the CS credits it didnt matter too much. Matt got a chicken ceaser wrap and ordered an assortment of chips, and dessert sides for us to share. There wasnt really an option for Margaret and he was going to look else where, but I said not to worry, lets just eat, well figure out something for her later .
Well she decided this tasty cup of strawberry Jell-O w/ fruit in it would be quite nice for her lunch
I cant believe I have not eaten here since 1998 .has it changed a lot? I only remember a deli and store like place, nothing super to rave about, but maybe there was something else here then
anyways for everyone who says this is yummy food is right. I would for sure eat here again w/ the kids
.but after reading even more rave reviews of WPE
we may have to eat twice at the MP
I also have to say there was this group of 8 50-60 (aged) something adults eating together near us with no signs of older children or grandkids they looked like they were having a grand ol time eating, laughing and chatting while having fun at Disney, now I cant tell if they were local or travelers. But their spunky spirit made me smile and I truly hope DH & I will still be having and making memorable fun trips to Disney when we reach our golden years
As we starting finishing lunch, we took turns stopping at the rest area to change from our pants to shorts we had carried w/ us and after a little confusion how wed carry all of these clothes now, DH decided wed just rent a locker at the MK and get the stuff in the evening later if we needed it.
So now w/ full tummies and empty wallets we made our way back to the bus stop to make our way back to MK
Now I did not think it could be that difficult or take super long, Ive done this bus system over a few times and figured I knew what I was doing .little did I know the bus drivers didnt have the same simple vision as me .
We decided wed catch a bus back to say the Poly and then hop on the monorail and to MK wed arrive ..
Yay right?
This was a not so fabulous bus journey .
* 1st wait for bus to arrive .
* Get on not too crowded bus, w/ actually a somewhat friendly singing bus driver now that is a rarity these days (as I know KathyRN had pointed out in one of her reports)
* Stop at PI
* A bus driver change
* A stop at BB
* And then finally CR .
At this point it was well after 2 pm and we were tired of being on the bus. So we opt to get off and walk over to MK. But of course a rest stop was needed, so I take 1 kid into the CR, to have another trail me, which then on the way out DH decides he has to go in .is this a game people
Oh and I have to say walking in the lower lobby of CR (which I have never done before) is liking stepping into the furniture/home store called IKEA anybody know what Im talking about
Now to our walk .which was actually kinda of nice.
But all in all I think it took us over 45 minutes to get from the MP to MK ..
I have noted we arrived at MK about 2:45 pm ish.
Matt and I found the lockers, which I think Disney moved on us .hadnt they always been under the train station? And rented one and put our stuff in there, while the twins or maybe it was the girls pin traded w/ a CM but actually I sorta think whoever was originally w/ me Aldine? saw a pin that Mae would like and we had to go get her and walk back but the CM was busy assisting another guest, so we had to wait. In the meantime I asked at the little shop for those the Just Engaged Pins to bring home for my DBrother and his fiancé they wore them at their engagements party of course!
We found my Dad hanging out at a Chess table on the corner by Main Street and re-grouped and then headed into the park to see what we could accomplish on my Park to-do Tour list:
