 Thunder
was crashing a we returned to the Villas and soon it was raining pretty
good. We all quickly fell asleep for a couple hours and
woke up a bit
after 4pm. It was STILL storming out but we got ready anyway, dug
out
our old Yellow Mickey ponchos and headed for the boat to the Magic
Kingdom. We waited just a bit before it showed up and soon
we were at
the Magic Kingdom. We had about an hour to kill before dinner so
we
headed for The Haunted Mansion.
 The wait was 30
minutes! I
was
shocked and started to realize just how busy the MK was. Even
with a
couple hours of storms the park was mighty busy. We passed
on The
Haunted Mansion and headed over to Philharmagic instead. Waited
about
10 or 15 minutes and were in to see the show. The girls
really love
this one as to both Kristen and myself. Definitely our favoritte
3D
Movie.
 Now it was time to
head to Liberty Tree Tavern for our dinner. It
was
not too busy when we arrived and soon we were seated and our very
efficient and friendly waitress did a great job of taking care of
us.
(Thus the fact that she become the owner of another passed out CM
Appreciation card at the end of our meal) The food was
wonderful.
Sorry to say I didn't even think of pictures until it was WAY too
late. We enjoyed salad with strawberry vinaigrette dressing and
fresh
roles. Then came ham, turkey, stuffing, flank stake, green beens,
mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. Wow! Eveyrthing was
wonderful
and the meal was completed with apple cobbler for dessert. The
characters were fun and friendly and included both Chip and Dale,
Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto. The girls love both the food and
atmosphere
here and we all had a great time.
Thoroughly stuffed we headed back out into the park. We were
trying to
do some of the things that we had missed the day before, so we headed
to Toon Town. WAY too crowded, so we went back and waited about
10
minutes for the teacups. Kristen passed since we had just eaten
dinner, but the girls and I had a great time. I spun them REAL
well!
:-D
 Then it was off to Tomorrowland to ride the TTA,
Carousel of Progress
and Buzz. Space Mountain had a 50 minute wait with no fastpasses
available. We decided to pass on this one and headed off to ride
Stitch instead. Since Stitch was a walkon I agreed and in we
went.
The girls enjoyed it, and all was fine with the world. I can live
with
it once in a while.
By now it was almost 10pm and time for Wishes Fireworks. Since we
had
just seen them the night before we were going to pass, but we decided
to grab a couple snacks near Fantasyland. Brinn and I got
lemonade
and raspberry lemonade slushee's and Kristen and Maddy got sundaes at
Mrs. Pots. Brinn and I took our slushes into Fantasyland
between
dumbo and the carousel and REALLY enjoyed the show. Many bursts
were
right over our heads, and the large bursts were on the other side of
us. We thought we were watching a tennis match with all the
turning of
the head to keep up.
After the fireworks we found Mom and Maddy off to the side. They
couldn't even finish the brownie sundaes they had ordered. This
meal
plan has you eating even more than you would
normally. Kristen
wasn't feeling her best so we headed out of the park and back to the
room. It was another fun filled day and time for some well earned
shut
eye. Tomorrow is Typhoon Lagoon and should be a lot of fun!
Bye for now!

Late morning today so we can sleep in a
bit. I was still up early so sat out on the balcony to type up
more trip report and enjoy the morning. Woke the girls up
around 9am so that we could get to 1900 Park Fare for breakfast by
10am. We called down and had the rental car pulled around before
leaving the room and it was there and waiting for us at the front
entrance. Since I still have my 
After breakfast we
headed back for some more pool time. Its
another hot and humid day, so swimming is always a popular choice with
the girls. We headed out to the main pool and found it relatively
empty compared to Saturday and Sunday crowds. We easily found
chairs for our stuff and then headed to the pool. 
We hit the
Jacuzzi first (which was quite warm) and then into the pool (which
seemed much cooler after the hot jacuzzi!). Lots of fun and
playing and a bit of picture taking. The girls took a few trips
on the slide and then by about 1:30 we decided it was time for a bit of
a nap. The girls were dragging after our late night the night
before, and it just made sense since a storm was blowing in.
