Caught the boat back to the MK and headed up main street in a very light rain.  Nothing too much and we found a couple PhotoPass photographers to take our picture in front of the castle in a few places.  :-)  Have to fill up that CD I pre-purchased!  ;-)    As we were working our way toward the Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner we stopped in the Christmas shop to duck out of the rain as it picked up a little bit.    About half way through the store the cell phone rings and its a Website-Trip report stalker!  :-O   No, just turns out to be Moley giving me a hard time and checking up on us before dinner!  :-D   The girls pretty much grabbed the phone away to chat with Moley for a few minutes and then I got to talk a bit more before needing to head into dinner.  Thanks for the call Moley!  :-)

There was NO line at the LTT, and they even had people outside that looked like they were trying to drum up business...  We were seated about 15 minutes early and very quickly which was nice.  The park seems busy, but not JULY busy.  Still, it filled up and was hopping by the time we left around 6pm.  Dinner was very good as always and the waiter kept us in lots of drinks and brought out anything we needed more of.  The characters were fun and we saw Dale, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Chip.  There was a LOT of roudy people in the restaurant tonight, so the energy level was quite high and lots of fun.  Noisy, but fun!  I'll really miss when they stop the character meals for dinner in here.  Its a favorite of ours, and won't be the same without the characters. 

Oh, and Maddy STILL LOVES that mac and Cheese... Here she is today

And here she is on her first trip ever!  Pretty much looks JUST the same!  :-D

We headed out after our fine meal and the rain had moved on.  We had not done anything in Tomorrowland yet, so we headed there.  Fast Passes for Space Mountain were already for a 9:30 return time, but we still grabbed them.  We then did the Transit Authority, Buzz and Carousel of Progress.  No lines except Buzz, and that was only about 15 minutes if that.  More like 10 I think... 

We got a picture with Buzz, and Brinn has been tasked by her dentist to get pictures of her brushing her teeth in strange places.  Kristen thought with Buzz would be good, so she pulled her toothbrush out of her fanny pack and tried to explain to the CM what she was doing.  :-D  He classified it as the strangest picture of the year!  ;-)  Brinn was a tad embarrassed but it was still funny.  I think she should have a BIG tooth brush for the characters to use as well!  Wonder how many times we're going to do this, this trip! 

Carousel of Progress actually had a pretty good load so that was good to see.  It still a great place to cool off and I DO like the attraction.  I hope it sticks around a long time!  It was still only about 7pm so we headed over to Toon Town.   We walked around and through the store and then rode Barnstormer with about a 15 minute wait.  Short coaster, but still fun.   Then we made the girls climb in the port holes on Donald's boat for pictures.  We did this when they were about 5 or 6 and it was funny watching them try to do it now.  :-D  I'll have to dig up those old photos to see the then and now versions...

We decided that it would actually be a good night to get back to the resort and then head off to Wal- Mart for some groceries.  We have NOTHING in the room, and I can't STAND having no munchies or especially WATER in the room.  So, we decided to leave with Maddy throwing a minor fit over missing out on Space Mountain today.  We found 4 teens that were happy to have the fastpasses though so they won't go to waste.  We'll be back tomorrow so Space Mountain is HIGH on the priority list or Maddy will be rebelling! 

We headed out to wait for the boat, and a CM entertained everyone waiting in line with his singing various Disney songs.  And he was actually pretty good!  It was fun and everyone enjoyed it until the boat arrived.  Then our captain of the boat was a younger one but one with an eye for standup comedy.  He delivered quips all the way back to the resort.  I asked if he had his eye on driving for the Jungle Cruise, but that just got an OUCH in response!  :-D  Sorry, his humor WAS better!  ;-)

We headed right out to get the car from valet and they quickly pulled it around.  Off we went to Wal-Mart on 535 and OMG was it busy off site.  Even Downtown Disney was packed with lots 1 and 2 showing full by 9pm.   Traffic going up (and back) on 535 was crazy busy and Wal-Mart was a ZOO.  I'm used to Wal-Mart's being busy, but this was BUSY!  The food aisles were very picked over.  Bottled water was wiped out to the point that I had to stop at Crossings for water bottles that weren't flavored!  Wal-Mart was sold out!  And yes, Crossings is still CRAZY Expensive so avoid it if at all possible. 

Back to the resort to carry up the groceries and put everything away.  I think I drank half a gallon of water I was so thirsty tonight.  And I need more right now!  I just can't drink enough water down here.  So, at this rate, the weeks worth of water should last at least a couple days!  :-D

After that it was lights out for a good nights sleep before tomorrow.  Its back to MK because I think its actually less busy hitting the NON-early entry park because the entire park is open.  We'll see if tomorrow morning in the MK is as good as it was today.  Goodnight!
