Once again, no alarm set but we are all awake by 9:30 showered, dressed and out to the bus stop. We are really timing things great because as we walk up the MGM bus pulls in for us.
We have a 12 noon ps for Prime Time Cafe, so we head right over there. Terry and I laugh at the sights of many items we recognize from our childhood. Mandy is our server and she is a very sweet, soft spoken girl. Surprisingly 2 of the other 3 tables in our section all live in the Buffalo area, which makes for lots of jokes and fun. We start off with drinks in the special glasses that include the light up ice cubes and an order of onion rings. Then Terry and Zach order the BBQ Ribs, Nick orders the Mac and Cheese, and I order the Stacked Ham Sandwich. Everything is delicious but we have way too much food and are not able to finish it all. Terry and the boys mention they want to return here again during our trip, so we will fit it in next week. After saying our goodbyes to our cousins, we head out to the park.
First stop is Sounds Dangerous starring Drew Carey and then we head over to Star Wars, Zachary's favorite. Indiana Jones is packed so we head over to Rock N Roller Coaster. The boys have never done this ride but are feeling rather brave today and agree to make this their new thing to try for the day. We wait roughly 40 minutes and I can tell both boys are very nervous. Zach and I get the very last seat, while Terry and Nick are right in front of us. Within seconds they are both hoot and hollering, and want to go again. They love it, I am so excited as this is my absolute favorite ride ever. However the stand by time is now over an hour, so we decide to come back another day.
There is quite a downpour so we head over to watch the Beauty and the Beast show. Now that the rain has stopped and the sun is shining, it is extremely muggy. So, we grab some frozen Lemonades and get in line for the Indiana Jones show. I convince my guys to join me in the nice air conditioned shops, see how I work this :wink: after I manage to spend more money, we head back to our resort.
By now its dinner time and everyone decides to go grab our mugs from our room and head over to the Pepper Market for dinner. Tonight I order the Chicken Fajita, Terry a Turkey Sandwich, and the boys split a Pizza. We really love this food court and will miss it when we move to the Wilderness Lodge.
Back to the room to rest for a few minutes before we head over to swim. We spend about 20 minutes in the hot tub and I decide to go back and get changed while Terry and the boys continue to swim. We've all gotten some sunburn and the boys shoulders are very sore. I need to go buy them some t-shirts because I've only packed them muscle shirts to wear at the parks.
So I grab my phone and make a few calls to family and friends while I slowly walk up to the store. It is so beautiful and relaxing at this resort, I really love it. The Panchito's Gift shop has some realy nice items and I buy the boys matching Coronado t-shirts, as well as many other things. :wink: Back to the pool to pick up my family and we head back to the room to settle in for the night. Don't set that alarm, we are on vacation and I don't spend money when I'm sleeping.
Coming tomorrow.... Epcot, Le Cellier and the Polynesian Luau
