We got ready and went down for breakfast. We tried the cafeteria-style restaurant this time. Kevin got a make it yourself omelette...well, he didn't actually have to make it himself, just pick what he wanted in it. Brooke and I had french toast and fruit and she had bacon and I got sausages, which I gave to Keturah to go with her chocolate danish (yeah I cringed too).
It's awesome having the meal plan--you just have to flash them your disney card and go on your merry way.
We found the shuttle buses right outside the front doors. The one we caught to the Magic Kingdom was very busy and we had to stand up the whole way... luckily it was only a 10 minute trip!
I thought it would be more lined up at the gate than it was, but we went right on through with no waiting at all. You just scan your handy dandy disney card once again.
We went Tomorrowland first and went to this Monster's laugh club with Mike (with one eye) from Monsters Inc as the MC. It was an interactive show where they picked on audience members, but we didn't get picked at all. DARN!
We went on this ride called Stitch's Great Escape. It was a dark, interactive alien experience. We got spit on and had air blown on our necks in the dark and when Stitch burped, it really smelled like chili dogs--kind of gross eh?
We then went to Space Mountain, where I thought it was a similar ride to the Mountain roller coaster at Wonderland, LaRonde..Boy, was I wrong! It was so dark, fast and scary with lots of sharp turns and sudden drops..I was freaking out with my eyes shut the whole time praying that it would soon be over and that I would survive it. Keturah was very upset after that and I really had to apologize to her and suck up a lot after that mistake. Brooke and Dad on the other hand, loved it and wanted to go on again.
We went on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority ride, which was a quiet little shuttle ride around the whole section and it was enjoyed by all!
We also went on the Carousel of Progress, which educated you on the changes made over the last 100 years. It was interesting!
Over at Mickey's Toontown we went on a kiddie coaster called the Barnstormer...more my speed, but Dad and Brooke were bored! I still screamed my head off!
We took the Disney Railroad to the Frontierland section next. Kevin and Brooke got a fastpass for the Splash Mountain--kind of a water flume ride. The enjoyed it thoroughly and Kevin actually bought the picture that Disney takes of you..It was funny to see the look on their faces.
Keturah and I went and got her a hair wrap while we waited for them. IT seemed to take forever, but it looked cute!
We ventured over to Adventureland after that and went on the Pirates of the Carribean ride. It was cool boat ride with lots of animatronic characters, but no Johnny Depp, much to my disappointment...I was hoping he would jump out on me (i mean at me!:-))
We spent some money at the gift shop there as well...lots of cool things...Brooke and Keturah got mouse ears with Pirates of the Caribbean headbands attached...
We also went on the Swiss Family Robinson's treehouse...which was a nice climb up about 4 stories high...I remember watching that show on TV when I was young! The girls went on Aladdin's magic carpet ride and Brooke got spit on by a camel...
We went on a jungle cruise in a boat through the jungle with lots of animatronic animals and a captain who was a wannabe comedian...He was actually quite funny in a cheesy kind of way. (Keturah liked his humour).
We were all so hot and tired, that we came back to the hotel to rest and have dinner. We had planned to go back to Disney, but we were all so tired and the kids wanted to swim, so we didn't bother!
We ate at Boatwrights again and this time Kevin had the Prime Rib (because it was the most expensive thing on the menu and we have to get our money's worth) and I had the veggie pasta with artichokes, spinach and sundried tomatoes...all was very yummy again.
We got dessert to go (pecan and apple pie)...Hey it's included on our meal plan, so what the heck, we'll diet when we get back to Canada!
We walked around the resort and checked out some birds, ducks, etc.
We went swimming, but it was colder than it was yesterday, although the air was warmer.
And here we are checking email and updating our blog!
Enough for now..I see it is 11pm alreayd and so I'm off to bed!
