Day 2:

One of the things we like best about staying inside the park is not having to drive anywhere. We used all modes of transportation simply because we could. I tell you, we are kids trapped in old bodies. lol

During our stay, the weather was really nice. It was in the low 80's. I wore short sleeve shirts & pants. But, I could have worn shorts. It was warm enough to go swimming had I brought my bathing suit. I wore a slip on, light weight sweater late at night when it turned a bit chilly.

We have one credit card which is Disney's Visa. It collects Reward Dollars. When we know we are going to WDW, I turn them in & use my Disney Dollars in WDW. I buy food, clothing, snacks, etc. It sure helps out.

We were up early Tuesday morning with my tiny headache still in tow. Only now, I had a tiny lower back twinge to go along with my tiny little headache. It wasn't the bed. My lower back does that sometimes.

We grabbed a quick bite at the food court. ( Then, we were off to Epcot as they were having extra morning hour. Another plus for staying inside the park.

The first thing we did was the Living With the Land ride. This is one of DH favorite things to do since he loves growing a garden. Here they grow fruits & vegetable hydoponicly. (sp?) Epcot uses these fruits & vegetable in their restaurants.

We did Ellen's Universe of Energy, the Circle of Life, Soarin', the Norway ride & the ride in Mexico. By then, we were ready for lunch. We were in the World Showcase where we walked around looking at menus. We decided to eat at Chefs de France.

They brought both of us a roll with butter. The soup de jour (soup of the day) was Pumpkin Soup. I asked if it was served hot or cold & was it good. The waitress told me it was a good, hot soup. I like to try new foods so I ordered this to begin with. It was absolutely delicious! It was a hot, cream style soup & not at all sweet. Didn't even taste like pumpkin. Hubby, also, liked it.

DH ordered the croque monsieur et sa salade verte - French toasted ham and cheese sandwich served with a green salad. - $12.25. I ordered the crepe basquaise - large crepe filled with smoked chicken strips, peppers and onions, grilled and served with a mixed salad. - $12.75. Both items were absolutely delish! DH said it was much better & cost less then the Kono Cafe. I totally agreed.

We decided to go back to our room to rest as we had tickets to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party that night. We held our breath as we inserted our key card into our door. Happily for us, it worked. We took a nice long nap.

More TR to follow tomorrow.
