Re: Dana - the Trip report 1/05

Day 2

I fell alseep easy enough which may had a lot to do with the 3am wak-up and alcohol. Staying alseep, however, was a different ball game all together. I woke-up no less than 5 times and finally gave up around 4:45am. I dressed, grabbed my postcards and handbag and went downstairs as to not disturb everyone. I wrote...and wrote and wrote some more and then headed to the Mara to grab some breakfast. After breakfast, I finished up some more postcards and then headed back to the room to see if anyone was up. DBF was up in bed watching TV wanting to know where I went. I filled him in on my "strange bed syndrome" and after he finished laughing, he got up0 and showered. He asked me to try and get the kids up...they wouldn't get up for him. I tried several times as did he when he got out of the shower. We decided to leave them sleep and headed down to the Mara to get him some breakfast. When we got back, the kids pounced us at the door swearing we were done "forever!" No, not forver...just long enough to go to DBF's car to get his cell phone charger and to get breakfast. I gave the kids each a voucher and told them to go get breakfast. These vouchers had a lot of plusses to them. I like handing them the voucher and not the cash. DBF and I both got the mug and it earned it's $11.99 in coffee by the time we left. When I finally got the kids dressed and ready to move, it was 11am.. I was hoping it was going to warm up, but it hadn't so no BB today., Instead we all headed to Epcot. We worked our way slowly around furture world and did everything. The kids were stopping every CM and trading. My Dd had more pins in my handbag then on her lanyard because she is trying to collect whole series now. It's not just a fun trading thing for her anymore..lol This is also where the kids rememered they didn't like each other...the bickering was ridicuous and over nothing. DBF got fast passes to take them on Test track and when we went back to ride...it broke down. We decided touring the countires at this point and started around the world showcase. DBF loved it here. WE stopped in America to grab lunch. The kids were still fighting over nothing and I had enough of it for the day. I called the day over and we all went back to meet the bus. The bus was a bit of a wait for some reason but we were back at the AKL soon enough. The kids and DBF changed and went to the pool. I stayed behind and tried to figure out dinner plans. They didn't want to go back for the Rose and Crown or Illuminations. I called for O'hanna and Whispering Canyon. Both were booked and not taking walk-ups. We ended up at the Concourse Steakhouse at the Contemporary. Good meal, fairly priced, but the restaurant is so small and loud. I didn't enjoy that part of it. We took a cab over there because we were short on time again, but on the way back, we walked over to MK and grabbed the bus. We got to see a little bit of Wishes as we waited for the bus. When we got back, DBF and I went down to the bar as the kids swam. We closed it and went and got more provisions at the gift shop. The bartender gave us a bucket and ice and we soon had a samll crowd hanging with us. All of our children were in the pool and all of us were shocked that a bar closed at 9 on a Saturday. The kids came over shivering saying they were going up and we joined them about ten minutes later. We all fell asleep around midnight. I fell alseep in minutes.
