Princess #2 6

Our next ADR was Spoodles at the Boardwalk. I recommend the bread with dipping oil. YUMMY. This was a nice relaxing evening. We did the Boardwalk after. What a special resort. DD6 loved the magicians. We figured out the date (silly me I put the date and not day on my planning tool and kept saying "what day is this?" what a NICE annoyance!) and walked over the EPCOT for Evening Extra Magic Hours. We got there DURING Illuminations. Since we saw it earlier, we let everyone watch it while we walked over to Soarin... my family's favorite. We closed the park.

The next day DH and DD15 went to Typhoon Lagoon while DD6 and I hung out at the Boardwalk pool. I let her sleep late and wanted to be there when DH's Anniversary basket came. Let me give you a big recommendation. "Orange Dream" at Libations. So very yummy! I had two then we went for a nap because.... it was our big night out with DD15.

We took DD6 over to Beach Club Resort to Sandcastle kids club so we could have alone time with DD15. When we stayed at AKL, we did the same. Its special time with our oldest. (read on for our big night). Sandcastle Club was GREAT. DD6 had a great time and didn't want to leave when I picked her up. She told me she made 8 friends! I never know what to tip these girls. I gave 20. Anyone think I cheaped out? I'm so bad at that stuff.

BIG NIGHT WITH DD15. We headed over to Downtown Disney. The bus seemed to take forever. Just as we boarded the bus, the sky opened up. LOTS of rain. We were supposed to be there at 5:30 for LA NOUBA and we had to swim over quickly. Besides being SOAKED the show was great. DD15 and I have seen two other shows and this one is surely the best. I loved the music. Bought a CD and the programme after.

When it was over, we took our still-damp selves out to DD. DD15 and I went into the magic shop. I treated her to magic cards. DH went to Sosa's and had a few cigars made for him. He even smoked one there while we were wrapping up the magic shop and finding a ladies room. There was a line. We were laughing about there's always a line to the ladies room when my phone rang. It was work calling.... 2 hours later, we headed to dinner. We were STARVING and had lots of CS left on the DDP. We hit Wolfgang Puck Express. I recommend the BBQ Chicken on a fajita. It was delish. Then we spend a whole lot of money at the World of Disney.

More to come... Anniversary Day/Night and probably another rant that includes tears of joy.

Some special time with your older daughter is certainly a terrific treat and something I'm sure she will remember for many, many years!

That was such a great some special time with your oldest child and still something fun for the youngest so she doesn't feel like she missed anything. A great report! Thank you.
