DAY 2
So I am sure I will mess this up now considering I had it written when I was feeling creative, and now here I am feeling ashamed for not making sure my work was completely saved before X'ing it out for bed...
So I trudge on................
Day 2 started off with a wake up call that I didn't realize I hit the speakerphone button for. As you may recall I was awake most of the night and had actually been up for a good 40 hours before that. WAKKKKKKKKKEEEEE UPPPPPPPPP GRUMBLE GRUMBLE HEHEHEHEHE arghhhhh dang Stitch...I have such a love hate relationship with that guy. I love his look, hate his annoying little voice. So I roll over and nudge TC who is oblivious to the screeching noise coming out of the phone on MY side of the bed. He asks what time it is and I delightfully (haha yah right) exclaim, 6:15!!

I knew we needed to shower and get ready then head to the Pepper Market which was a hike and a half from our room. SO we start and are quickly moving out the door taking the GORGEOUS stroll around the property. One we grew to love and admire every single day and realizing we truely had a blessing in disguise being placed in building 6A. I got to stop and lounge on the hammocks:
which we almost napped on the next day
This was the day we were going to find TC's new love.
He would eat this every single day for the rest of the trip. It was the Southwestern Omelette ...yummmmy I grabbed a bite and I must say, if I had the stomach for a big breakfast THIS would be it. I decided just to grab a cup of fruit (which was really sweet and juicy) and an english muffin with jelly. Coffee was an everyday wake me up for both TC and myself

After getting breakfast down (and paying OOP) we headed to the Bus Stop # 1. After about 10 minutes our bus pulls up and we get on...the only ones heading to MK on this bus...This would become the norm, us on a bus alone, feeling as if we were being brought privately to the parks

Another big plus on CSR being a convention resort! We got the MK around 8:15 and walked to the dead turnstiles where they let us through @ 8:30 to stand at the rope drop below the train station. I spied an elderly couple on
ECV's with the bride and groom Mickey/Minnie hats and had the entire area saying AWWW once I pointed them out. I looked and TC and he grabbed my hand as if reassuring me WE would be like that someday....I hope so. They were adrorable!
<ok, going to vent here for a sec>
This is when I got my first disappointment of the trip in people....While standing there I overheard a family say "We can just say we have ADR's and they'll let us through" grabbing the kids by the hand and walked to the CM standing by me. The told her they had 8:45 reservations @ CP and she waved them through. I did everything in my power to not say anything as I was afraid of the kids feelings if a CM said something but I stood there shocked these parents would LIE in front of the kids just to get to Main St--where they'd be stopped by more ropes in the "ride"areas. SAD.
So the rope drops and off we go , slowly wandering down Main St were I step back and start my snapping of castle photos all the while TC mumbling, if you've gotten a photo 10 years ago, 5 years ago, THIS year, why do you need more? I start to explain that the castle changes and I like having them then realize what I am taking a picture of--A CRANE!! A CRANE on the precious castle...The magical item that you first notice when you realize you are in Disney, and there is a BIG CRANE propped next to it. Scarred for life I delete most of the photos and kept 1 pathetic photo to share:
Sigh....So we move onto our journey to TOMORROWLAND...Stopping at the rope for a few moments and then being trampled to the back of the line by people racing to Space and Buzz. We make our way and grab FP's to Space and then head over to Buzz where we would ride it 4 times in a row (I ended up riding either 7 or 8 times that day) laughing hysterically each time as we tried to beat each other's score. TC had never been on BUZZ and he kicked my butt.
But not by much as here is mine:
After that we headed towards Fantasy Land to make our way to the Haunted Mansion. This is how quiet it was:
We walked right through the que and were the ONLY ones in the stretching room...and totally alone on the ride. It was eerie. (Hitting save just in case I loose anything here lol)
We are feeling the heat at this point and start walking to Big Thunder but quickly change our minds and get in the line---well actually there wasn't one----for Splash. It was amazing how quiet it was. I forgot to take off my hat and while going down it flew off, but being the quick one I am, I caught it in the air. The people behind me said "AWESOME CATCH" as soon as we got to the bottom as they actually made bets I'd lose it if I didn't remove it! LOL
Once out we make our way around to the new and improved Pirates of the Carribean. I enjoyed the slightly new version and TC said he didn't get what was so "new" about it...He hasn't been on this ride in 6 years so I forgave him. He kept pointing out how much he almost thought Johnney Depp was really there! lol. From here we had a new window to get another FP so we grabbed one to the Jungle Cruise. In all my trips I had never been on and had promised myself I'd try it. We make our way from the back across the park *we did a LOT of back tracking and walking* to Tomorrowland to ride Space Mtn. I got the front seat and TC was right behind...I heard him grunt a few times and he said after he didn't remember it being that "whippy". He thought he had whiplash! LOL
Time for lunch at this point I am telling him what each place has knowing he will end up picking my favorite. PECO'S BILLS IT IS!! He enjoyed this lunch so much and this was his second taste of the Dining Plan. $29.74 that we didn't have to pay for....Felt nice and he said he wants to get it even if we pay for it ...everytime!

TC got the double cheeseburger with bacon and I got the chicken wrap...YUMMMY. I loaded up on the toppings bar and had some melted cheese for my fries. mmmmmm We split my Peanut butter brownie thingie and gave the other one to a woman and little girl sitting nearby that didn't have dessert. Her mom was very greatful and we felt good that we didn't trash it. We head over to the Jungle Cruise and had a very funny, but soaked with sweat driver. He was so soaked that people were backing up as he was dripping and it was pretty icky! I felt bad for him but his energy level didn't at all suffer. He was a ton of fun!
TC asks if I want to stick around or head out and I tell him I want to go get a drink at the Poly and show him a few resorts. We jump on the Train and took it to the front of the park, which TC enjoyed...He mentioned so many times that "Disney has thought of everything" We leave the park and hop on the monorail We are still really full from lunch and walking is miserable to we go to the marina and rent a sea raycer to go out on the lagoon with. This was a ton of fun , but our raycer must have been broken b/c people were FLYING by us in the same boats and we were going full speed...It was pathetic! We laughed quite a bit and TC got to ooooh and ahhhh at the Wilderness Lodge and Grand Floridian from the water. At this point the sky is growing dark so we head back to the marina to go get a drink at the poolside bar praying the rain holds out. At the marina they ask how our time out there was and when TC just says "Our boat seemed slow" she took $20 off the rpice of the rental...WOOHOOO drink $$

We get our drinks in Souveniour glasses and start to walk and tour the property when the sky opens up...BUCKETS...It is pouring pretty bad and we look at each other, shrug our shoulders and step out from under the cave waterfall by the pool into the rain. It felt really good on our skin as we were pretty heated up. We had a ton of fun drinking our now partially watered down drinks walking in the rain. Once we finished those we went to the monoral and it was pulling away............
Be back in a bit to finish

I need to get the dishes done and do some laundry!
