We sleep in a bit, to recover from yesterday. This is our built-in “off” day and we’re not going to the parks. Instead, we’re going to explore other resorts. After taking our time getting ready to we head to Coronado Springs (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/gulliblegoose/100_1169.jpg) (where we stayed for our honeymoon last year) via the Magic Kingdom. We look around a bit in Panchito’s and the head to Pepper Market for lunch. Unfortunately, a convention just let out for lunch and the line snakes around back into the convention center, so we decide to eat elsewhere. After a quick call to Jon & Tanya, we head off to Wilderness Lodge, once again via Magic Kingdom.

We meet up with Jon & Tanya at Wilderness Lodge (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/gulliblegoose/100_1178.jpg) and decide we all need to eat. We find the quick serve and I end up with a yummy turkey and brie on honey oatmeal bread. We then head out to check out the pool and lake. Back inside, the boys hang out on the couches while Tanya and I take a ridiculous number of pictures of the lobby.

Next stop is Animal Kingdom Lodge, via Animal Kingdom. We explore and find a giraffe (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/gulliblegoose/100_1276.jpg) among many things. Once again, the boys find places to sit while Tanya and I take pictures. We then head out to Downtown Disney.

We walk around a bit and then check in for our 5:00 ADR at about 4:30 for Wolfgang Puck’s. We’re seated immediately and before we know it, we’re stuffing our faces with lots of delicious food. Tanya and I both loved the pumpkin ravioli and DH has a pork chop the size of a steak. Needless to say, we practically have to be rolled out of the place. After dinner, we head off to World of Disney (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/gulliblegoose/100_1322.jpg) to do a bit of shopping. I restrain myself and only buy a few things. With so many Lego displays around, I have to take pictures (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/gulliblegoose/100_1304.jpg). Of course we have to stop at Once Upon a Toy to get Mr. Potatohead accessories, both for us and for my mother. We check out some other stores and then decide to head out. As we board the bus, it starts raining.

Back at Pop, we refill our mugs and look around the store a bit. We decide to take the long way back to our room to explore the resort a bit (it’s no longer raining at this point). Back at the room, we find more towel animals! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/gulliblegoose/100_1327.jpg) This brings our total to 3 towel creations in as many days. Now it’s off to bed.
