Re: Walt Disney World May 7 - 14th

" Day 6 "

Today was the day we would cut loose and and go to Epcot for our regular "Beer Walk" . We decided that we would get there around 4'ish.... So to start off the day we headed over to Hollywood Studios. We arrived a few minutes before they opened and they had the American Idol crew w/ cameras asking random people if they wanted to audition, They looked at me and I just "No thank you" ... In my mind I really was saying " No Thank You" hmmmm, deja vu!

To start off the HS experience I had forgot our DD special guest pass and went to the guest relations to get one for the park ... at the window the gentleman (and I'll be nice and say gentleman ) questioned me "Why do you need a pass" with my daughter standing there with me. I'll explained that besides having Downs she cannot stand for long periods of time. He quickly Sighed and acted extremely put out ... and with this I got a lil' (And I'll just say a lil') irritated . After writing out the pass I stood there for a moment wanting to say something to him since it was just him and I , but the fact my DD was beside me I just decided to cool my jets ....

Once the park opened we made our way towards the "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" , we have always walked past it but never went in so we decided today was the day... DD loved it! We time it right as we walked across to Playhouse Disney and caught that show! After that we anticipated "Beauty and the Beast" being something she would love and like Mermaid we never have seen it , so we walked into the amphitheatre a CM asked us if our DD would like to walk up to the stage after the performance to see Belle and the Prince ..... How cool is that ?!?!?! We watched the show and just as they started to bow a CM came over and took DD to the stage to meet them. They gave her a Rose and shook her hand and that point my DW and I had tears in our eyes .... She blew them a kiss and walked back to our seats and our DD handed her mommy the rose ....AWESOME!!!

After we dried our eyes we decided to try and get reservations to 50's Primetime Cafe , we walked right over to the Dinning Resv. center asked for lunch and they had them for us in no time . We walked in and before we could sit in there waiting area we were called "Kids time to eat".

Our CM was great , she made me set our table and sat with us and complained about the "Kids" at the table beside us... I asked her for Ketchup and she yelled at that same table to hand over theirs .... too funny!
The food was pretty good too!
After a great HS day we headed back to the room for a lil' R & R so we could be in tip top shape for Epcot.... We actually fell asleep for an hour and we awoke to cloudy noisy rain . . . uh oh!!! We jumped on the bus and by the time we pulled up to Epcot it was raining , but no worries mate ..It's Epcot!

We started off heading directly over to the Canada section to see Off Kilter ...oops they don't play today, another mis-read on my part. No Worries still , we headed to the U.K. to see British Invasion and once again "Rained Out" ... Another swing and a miss ! Alright it's time to head over to see whats going on at the American Adventure .... Nothing!

O.k., O.k. we'll just have to drink beer (Frosty Beverages) without music , no problem. It started to pour so we pitched a tent behind the Fife and Drum ( already had tents there... ha' , and began our "Beer Walk / Sit"
We did get to do a lil' shopping so it was not all lost and we did enjoy the cool wind from the rain. After a hour or so it finally stopped raining so we decided it was time to head back to the room and we skipped Illuminations. (we had already seen it our second night I think)

Day 7 to follow . . .
