Hello!
I forgot - Day 2 Lunch was at the AK Rainforest Cafe. We have eaten there the last 3 times at WDW. This time (and I have read this in other people's posts) we thought it was too loud!! Maybe the novelty has worn off for us. (We don't have a Rainforest Cafe here in Ohio) Food was good, but pricey, of course. I'd have to recommend against it. Keeping with the afraid-of-the-dark theme of the vacation, poor DS was afraid of the thunderstorm. And he's never afraid at home!
Day 2 -- Late afternoon/Evening
We decided to spend the evening at Magic Kingdom to catch the fireworks even before we left for our trip, since this was the designated AK day. Around 5:00 the rains came. (again) Back to CSR for us. DS & I napped while DH went on the dinner hunt. He returned with a pizza & a calzone from Pepper Market. Even after all the bad things I've read about PM, the food wasn't bad! I think it was $9.99 for the pizza (small - 10"?) and $7 for the calzone.
Around 8:30 we braved the flood and took the bus to MK. We rode "it's a small world" and got into parade position! We stood at the top of a cul-de-sac by the Hall of Presidents and some shops in Frontierland. The 9:00 parade got there at around 9:20. Spectromagic is awesome! We sat on the ground on our ponchos. Wet, wet, wet. Yick!
We stayed in our spots after the parade to watch the fireworks. We had read this tip in one of our Unofficial Guide Disney books. And boy, it was worth it! Even though you don't get the view of the fireworks and the castle, it looks like the fireworks are shooting right over your head. And hardly anyone else will be there! No crowds!
Then we got our blistered feet back to the hotel. Had to wait around 20 min. for the shuttle.
Day 3 - MGM - tomorrow.....
