This morning I wake up to my husband and sons singing me Happy Birthday. Yep, I'm 38 today and spending my day at Disney!! My age does not bother me as I am just glad to still be around. Surprise, surprise, it's only 9:30 and we're out the door. We catch the bus to MGM and there is only 2 things on our mind...Prime Time Cafe and Rock N Rollercoaster.
Once inside the park we head over to RNR to get a fast pass, which we do, but the line is moving so fast we get in line also. It only takes us 15 minutes to get throough this ride and we have until 11:25 till we can use our fast pass. So we decide to check out Tower of Teror, which we cannot convince the boys to ride, maybe next time they both tell us. We have roughly 40 minutes until we can use our fastpasses so guess what I get to do?? shop!! We pick out a few christmas ornaments for our tree, and other items. All is going to be sent back to our room and it is now time to turn in our fastpasses.
I cannot believe what a difference a year has made in my boys. They have never been so willing to go on the rides they tried this trip. I am thrilled and so proud of them for trying something new. They have learned that by trying new things, they like new things, especially Rock N Rollercoaster.
Next we head over to Prime Time Cafe for a lunch. We have about a 10 minute wait and enjoy talking with another family. It ahs been decided by both boys that Prime Time was their favorite meal on this trip and today they are going to save room for dessert. Again, we start with onion rings, then Ter orders the Stacked Turkey Sandwich, Zach, the PB&J, Nick the Mac & ch, and myself a small salad. everything is excellent and its time tomake decisions for dessert. Ter and Nick want smores, and Zach and I get a hot fudge sundae.
Its' hot, we're full and tired, so we go back to the Wilderness to rest up. The boys are so worn out they don't even ask to go swimming, so we all jsut lay around and rest for a while. Frisbee calls to wish me a Happy Birthday, and after a while we start to shower for dinner. Tonight we go to 1900 Park Fare.
It's so hot and we all agree no one wants to mess around with taking the boat and monorial, so we head down and get a taxi. Honestly, it is well worth the money sometimes ($5). I think the Grand Floridian is absolutely gorgeous, but Ter and the boys call it FruFruey...aka too feminine.
With our ps, we are seated right away and seem to have a perfect table. It is right in the center of the Main room. This is our first time eating here, and it is quite truthfully much better than I could ever have thought it would be. The food is delicious and there are so many choices. The characters are Cinderella, Prince Charming, Suzy, Perla and the Fairy Godmother. They spend alot of time with us and the boys. Many pictures are taken, and they have all also looked through the boys autograph books that have been scrapbooked by the boys. This was a perfect Birthday dinner and we never even mentioned it was my birthday. I will mark this down to do again on our next trip, it was delicious.
We walk around the Grand Floridian and take pictures. The boys want to check out the big pool so we head over that way. As we approach the pool there is a very large man dressed in a very tiny speedo. WOW!! I can't believe my eyes, and neither can Nick, as he points and blurts out....OMG Zach look at that man!! This made for our immediate exit from the pool area. LOL I honestly don't know how some people are comfortable like that. Terry and I are big people, and I sometimes am not comfy in clothes that fit, I can't imagine walking around in a teeny tiny bikini at Disney. Oh well, it was entertaining.
We ride the monorail around a few times and then take a boat from Magic Kingdom to Wilderness Lodge. Terry takes the boys swimming as I attempt to pack not only all teh clothes we took, but all of my purchases as well. I leave out only our clothes for Friday and the clothes to fly home in. Don't know how I did it, but I packed everything into our 3 original large travel bags on wheels, two smaller duffle bags, 2 back packs, the camera case, adn my carry on Disney bag. As much as I love it here, I'm ready to go home. One final full day left.
Coming tomorrow....Magic Kingdom and meeting Roodad
