Cast: DH and myself
Dates: 4/3/08 to 4/7/08
Today we woke up at 8am and ate brkfst at "Everything Pop". DH had the Western Omelet $6.69 and I had the Breakfast Wrap (eggs, bacon, cheese in a tortilla) $5.69 and of course we had our handy refillable mugs to put DH's coffee in and Apple Juice in mine (found on the soda fountain!). Food was good again.
Got in line at the bus stop...only took 5 minutes for the bus to arrive and headed for MK. I just love the smell when walking in the park and down main street!!! There were characters right inside of the park (haven't seen that happen in a long time!) It was nice! Went to Stitch's experiment..wait was 5 minutes, Pretty funny! We had not done the Stitch thing as it was Alien Encounter the last time we came to MK. Headed to Buzz Lightyear...as always a winner!! Wait time was 15 minutes. Headed to Space Mountain, wait time 20 minutes. Shopped a little and got my DH a turkey leg ($5.69 he had never had a turkey leg and always drooled over them before!) and I got a pretzel with cheese $3.59, apple $.99 with 2 cups of water (free). Wanted just a snack as we had an ADR at Boma's at 5:50pm.
Headed over to the Haunted Mansion as we walked and ate our snack. wait time was 15 minutes. There was a little girl dressed up in a haunted mansion maid costume holding the ghost dog leash standing next to a castmember getting her picture taken by the hearse...she was cute! Liked the improvements on the HM...it has always been one of my favorites.
Headed for the Hall of Presidents. Attempted to go on Splash Mountain...again pouring rain!!! It was so bad the ponchos weren't helping! most of the outdoor rides closed down as it was thundering and lightening. So we headed to Pirates and walked right on the ride! Had not seen it personally with Captain Sparrow added, I just love Johnny Depp!!!! It was great! The Disney Dreams Come True parade was to start at 3pm and it had cleared up a little until another down pour came. The castmembers that normally walked around main street to clear off the area were getting soaked and laughing. The parade was cancelled due to inclement weather as it started thundering and lightening again. So...we shopped a little and then headed for AKL to sit by the fireplace and take in the view before eating at Boma. There is something so relaxing about AKL...I just love it there!!
At Boma the crew all said Happy Anniversary to us and gave us a card signed by everyone working that night..waitstaff,cooks and all. most of it we can't understand what it says so we had to get it translated! It was very nice and as always the food is awesome...we love the different spices that are used.
Some of the walk areas were so slick from the rain that some were closed off. so we decided to chance it and head back for MK. As we were waiting for the bus for MK to show up...one of the bus drivers dropping off from Epcot sang "Happy Anniversary" to the tune of the Lone Ranger....he said "it was the best he could do in such short notice". It was great and funny!!!!
We went to Mickey's PhilharMagic (we just love it!). We had gotten soaked all day and our shoes were soaked...the outdoor rides were still closed...and we had done all the shopping we could do at MK, and being in Fantasyland...all the rides wait times were long or FP was during or past the time of the parades/fireworks..so we took a nice romantic stroll around the MK looking at the lights and around the castle got some coffee and sat on the bench in front of the castle taking the sites all in...of course taking a few pix too!
Spectromagic started as we were sitting and gazing. We had never seen that....it was beautiful! and then of course the best firework show ever "Wishes"...bought the CD this time!
It started pouring again after the fireworks so...
We decided to call it a night and headed back to Pop to clean up and get dry and rest for tomorrow!
Day 4 at Hollywood Studios next....
