Day 4

I slept straight through the night and woke at 6am. I got myself dressed and then took breakfast orders. I would go get the breakfast and force these people from their beds today if I had to. I headed down to the Mara and got everyone something to eat and me and DBF's coffee. I was back in no time and had everyone settled into their breakfasts. I had them done, dressed and ready to roll in under an hour and was kicking myself for not doing this the other two mornings. I called bell services for me and DD's bag transfer to the Poynesian. WE carried DBF's and his DS's stuff to the car which we found out was very close the other morning when we got the cell phone charger. We all headed right over the the AK after. When we arrived, DBFDS wanted to know if we could ahve lunch at the Rainforest. I told him to run over and make a PS for 1pm. We all headed in and began to explore. I have never given this park the proper credit. Maybe it had a lot to do with taking first timers, but we had a blast here. DBF loved the place and couldn't get over how detailed everything was. It made me see the park in an entire new way. We loved the safari and everything in between it. There weren't a lot of animals out in some places, but I think that had to do with the bit of cold weather we were having that day. We walked around by the new EE and were amazed at the sheer size of that thing. We headed into Dinoland and me and DBF found a bench and relaxed as the kids ran wild. We all headed over to Dinosaur and I was surpirsed my DD wanted to ride. Ever since she got the pooh scared out of her that one time, she has never wanted to go on it again. This was a big mistake. When we got off the ride, she was hysterical....tears hysterical. I took her aside and let her calm down. DBF ried to comfort her and said that is what happens when he goes on rollercoasters....didn't work. We all decided this was a good breaking point and headed over to the Rainforest to see if we could get in early. The place was dead and we got in easily. I really enjoyed this lunch. The theme in there is awesome! We ate a nice reasonably priced lunch and headed out to the shop to look around and let the food settle. I was amazed at how cheap the clothes were compared to the other stuff in WDW. Shortly after, we headed back into the park and DBF and the kids did ITTBAB. They all loved it. I sat this one out wanting a moment to myself. We then went to the rapid ride. We held the kids off all day on this and told them they could do it at the end of the day. Me and DBf sat ourselves at the exit and let them go. I got a frozen banana and got DBF his first premium mickey bar. The kids managed to go around three times without getting off. That's how little the wait was. The CM just kept letting them ride. We finally got them off and the both of them were soaked. This is where we ended the day. WE all walked to the bus stops and said our goodbyes. DBF headed back on the AKL bus with his DS and me and my DD went on the Polynesian/Contemporary bus to go check in. I have to say that I was very sad to see them go. Even with the fighting, we had a great time together. I loved having all that time with my DBF that I rarely get to have. WE are lucky to see each other twice a week, so being together for four days straight was nice. The AKL bus was there in minutes, but our bus was a good ten minute wait. DD was soaked and freezing and I was kicking myself for letting her go on that ride. We got to the Polynesian after dropping guests at the Contemporary. I hate sharing buses with other resort, but was so excited about checking in at the Poly, that I didn't mind so much. We headed straight in to the Great Ceremonial House and waited our turn. We were given the choices of three different rooms, but I opted for the room in Nuie on the first floor. Having a room close to the center of things would be a nice change of pace. Our room number was 1704 and it was seconds away from the main building. These rooms are huge as compared to the AKL, but not worth the double price tag. I loved it here however. I called for the bags only to find out they weren't here yet. hmmm not good. DD is soaked and cold and has nothing to change in to. I called over to the AKL to see if they did their transfers yet and they told me it was just dropped off at the Polynesian. Sure enough, moments later, there was a knock at my door and they bags were here. I got the bags in and grabbed DD some dry clothes and made her get a hot bath. I unpacked us both while she bathed. She came out and laid on the bed and was asleep in seconds. I let her sleep a bit and settled in and relaxed on the bed writing some notes for my TR. I woke her around 4:30 to get her ready for dinner. We were having dinner at O'hanna at 5pm and I wanted to give her time to collect herslef before we left. We left for O'hanna around 4:50 and were up there and in by 5pm. Our server was excellent and I can't remember her name. The first thing she said to us was "you are going to need new pants when I get done stufing you" lol She was true to her word and tried to stuff us to death. WE had a great meal and enjoyed watching the coconut races. DD wasn't interested in doing them claiming it was for little kids....she did it last year...oh well. After dinner, we poked around all the shops and explored the resort. We headed back to the room to call it an early night. We were both a bit tired and had an early wake-up for CP in the morning. We settled in and DBF called me to tell me they were stopping for the night and that he'd call when they got home. DD was asleep by ten and I wasn't to far behind her.
