It's cold!
I need to find a weatherman and complain because it is COLD here in Florida. The day time is great, the morning and evening though is KILLER. I nearly froze last night waiting for Illuminations (EPCOT's evening spectacular). Oh well, we're still having a great time.
There were a few things I forgot to mention in our first update that Erin reminded me of. Unfortunately, she is asleep and I can't remember all of them, but Erin did want me to relay that a bird pooped in her purse. That's right not ON her purse IN her purse. It was a direct hit, man! The bird had great aim. I, of course, found it hysterical. She...well... not so much. lol! Dad's walkie talkie got the brunt of the assault, but everything's clean and Erin has quit gagging, so it's all good... I guess...
As you may recall in the last post we were off to Downtown Disney after getting SOAKED at the Animal Kingdom. We did some shopping but only got to about half of the shops - no biggie, we are going back on Monday - Erin had figured out what she was getting her kiddos and was on a mission. I bought a ton of scrapbook stuff - again - and we killed our feet. Got into Coronado around 10:30 and went to bed.
Slept in a bit - or at least tried - yesterday... until Erin ROLLED out of bed. Litterally. One minute I'm listening to her yelling in her sleep ("Toni... stop it!") and then I watched her roll over and fall off the bed! Onto the floor! Between the wall and the bed! Needless to say the sleeping stopped there and we both were laughing SO HARD! I got video. It was great.
So we got dressed and bummed around. We both decided on tanks and I put on shorts... yeah... the sun was out and the high was supposed to be decent. But I decided that I didn't want to pack my clothes around the park all day so that came to bite me in the butt last night!
We both ended up with sun burns (very mild) but it was just a GORGEOUS DAY! We toured around the World Showcase, though the last few we just walked through because Erin *had* to get her passport filled. *rolleyes* nevermind we're going to go at least two more times but whatever.
Anyway we started off going around counterclockwise. That put us in Canada first and we toured around there, took a ton of pictures (which I am going to upload soon!), and then headed off to the UK. We actually made it all the way over to Morrocco before having to come back and check in for our lunch. In France we saw the sign for character greetings and who would it be but SLEEPING BEAUTY! Well, of course I got excited and we made that our top priority after eating...
So, we got to Le Cellier and checked in and didn't have too long of a wait, which was great because we were HUN-GRY! Sat down and I already knew what I want. We sat next to this really nice older couple and it was his REAL birthday so they told us happy bday (we all had bday buttons) and we just started talking. The minute you say Alaska or Montana for some reason everyone gets surprised that you're there. It's like - yes they let us out of the area. Really!
They asked us about Sarah Palin and we gushed about her - does anyone dislike this woman? I mean, really! It's funny how she becomes one of the first topics now, forget daylight questions or snow/temps... it's all about Sarah.
Anyway I ordered a Shaved Prime Rib sandwhich, and Erin had the Grilled Chicken sandwich with a side of baked mac and cheese. I had a couple of bites and it was tasty to me. My sandwich was very very good... and we were both very very full so we didn't finish. Ken = the birthday guy sitting next to us = got dessert for his bday and it was a chocolate "moose" it was really cute and Erin fell in love with it but didn't think she could eat one so Ken let her pose with his dessert! They were AWESOME!
After lunch we waddled around the world for a bit... took pictures with Sleeping Beauty, Belle & The Beast (or as Erin kept saying "Belle & the Beauty" LOL), and the Genie. Next time we'll get the Mickey characters and Snow White & Dopey, and Mulan & Mushu!
We also watched several of the street performers, and that was cool. The Jamminators are like Disney's small version of "STOMP!" and they were entertaining and a great way to kick off the day... then when we were in UK we got to watch a three man (plus audience members) reenactment of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. Very good, and very funny. We also saw a group perform Romeo and Edna in Italy, but we just caugt the tail end of that one.
We made it to Mexico THREE HOURS before the fireworks and sat down to save a seat for Illuminations. And we sat and froze. Met another nice older couple (they were from Illinois) and we chatted most of that time. They also gushed about Sarah Palin and so it was all good. ha ha!
While waiting for the pyro show to start we kept watching the guys in the boats driving around and everytime we'd see them come by we'd cheer for them. Needless to say I have no voice this morning. I sound like mom did after Big Thunder Mt. Railroad! haha!
We ended up sitting with the couple just because people kept standing in front of us and they were worried we wouldn't get good pictures so we hopped over and we all complained about how cold it was and that the wind was cruel lol... and that time ticks by way too slowly (But that's really a good thing because I don't want this vacation to go by that quickly, ya know? and it really hasn't... so far)
Anywho today we're headed for Disney's Hollywood Studio's (formerly known as Disney-MGM Studios) and we're going to spend all day there and we are going to find Maleficent. We have to!
Oh and my awesome best friend who got me to ride Space Mountain for on the second time in my life (And final time!) bought me a wicked cool light up Princess Aurora toy last night (because we couldn't find it at the Magic Kingdom) for being so good on the ride. ha ha! I love it! Erin ended up getting one of Minnie Mouse. They're cool because their skirts light up and spin. Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!
Alright. Erin needs the computer for work stuff so I'm going to jump in the shower.
