Today was another day I had been looking forward too. We were going to Epcot again, but this time we were going to see “The Box Tops” perform at the American Garden Theater.
We arrived at Epcot at about 11:00. First, we went on Spaceship Earth as it is still one of our favorites at WDW. Then we walked over to Test Track to get our Fast Passes.
When we were walking out of Test Track we were stopped by a nice lady asking us if we’d like to take part in a survey about Test Track because they were looking to make improvements in it. She said it would take about an hour and a half, but only one of us could do it and they would pay $100 for the survey. We asked if we could talk it over and she said, “sure”.
Patti said I should do it but we were there on our anniversary trip and I didn’t want to be without her for an hour and a half and after a brief discussion we returned to the lady and said no thank you. I don’t think she expected that answer as she just said, ”wow, not many guys would turn this offer down. You have a keeper there.” Patti said, “I know.”;)
Next it was back to the other side of Future World and into Innovations and Image Works where much to our surprise we found a room that had a sign “For Disney Visa Card Holders Only”. So we decided to check it out and get in line. We waited about five minutes and then it was our turn to enter the room after I showed my card. Much to our surprise, there was Mickey, Minnie and Goofy waiting to have their picture taken with Patti and me. This was a wonderful surprise and a picture we’ll cherish forever.:cloud9:
Patti and Jenn talked about the Garden Grill the other night and Patti said she would like to eat there sometime so we swung in there to see if maybe we could get in there a little later. The CM said, ”sorry, we are all booked up.” Patti was disappointed but said maybe next trip we could make an ADR.:( I agreed.
Then we rode Figment and went to “Honey I Shrunk the Audience”, before returning to Test Track and our ride around the track.
We completed our test drive and headed to World Showcase stopping to ride Maelstrom. We even watched the movie this time. We got to China just in time to see the last acrobatic move. We are always walking up at the end of the show instead of the beginning.
We walked through Germany and stopped at the wine shop to buy a couple of glasses of Riesling. We took it out by the lake and found a bench to sit on and enjoy the wine while we watched the boats go around the lake and absorbed some more sun. Mmmm, it was good.
Now it was time to see “The Box Tops” perform at the first show and boy, were we disappointed !:humph: They sounded flat and lead singer acted like he might have had something up his nose earlier, if you know what I mean.
We stopped by a DVC information center and made an appointment for the next day. We thought it was about time to see if it was right for us. With the appointment made for 9:40 the next morning, we were on our way.
We visited Morocco and watched the Belly Dancer. She was good, but not as good as the last one they had there. I tried to get Patti to buy a little dancing outfit but she vetoed that idea.very quickly.
I suggested another “Disney Cruise” across the lagoon and we rode across and enjoyed the views of the World Showcase from the water.
We walked through the rose gardens and I suggested we stop for a bathroom break in the Land. While Patti was in the ladies room I stopped back to the Garden Grill and said to the CM, “maybe you could help me. We are on our anniversary trip and I forgot to make ADR’s for the Garden Grill and my wife is so disappointed. Would it be possible to squeeze us in” ? The CM smiled and said,” Let me see what I can do for you,” and gave me a vibrator.
When Patti found out what I had done she was a happy camper. About ten minutes later we were sitting and the waitress was taking our drink order. We enjoyed the food very much and we got to meet Chip, Dale, Mickey and Pluto while we ate.
After we finished dinner, we decided to skip Illuminations and go back to the resort to avoid the crowd on the bus and this was a good call. We were really tired and decided to lay low for the rest of the night until my cell phone rang and it was Natazu wanting to know if we wanted to go play Mini Golf with him and Rachel and we said sure. They picked us up and we had a ball. Another fun filled night with good friends. We didn’t get back until after midnight, but what the heck, we loved being with them.
When we returned to the room, we had a message from Mickey’sGirl saying they tried to find us at Epcot and they wanted to get together before we left the next day. She said to call their room when we got in the next day and maybe we could get together for lunch before we got on ME. She said they would be back to POFQ before 12:30 the latest.
Tomorrow: Our DVC Tour and our return home.:D
