We had no plans today, so over breakfast in the lounge we came up with one on the fly. DHS, followed by resort time, dinner in lounge, and MK in evening, Wishes from lounge at end of the day.
With that plan in place, I inquired as to availability of lunch at Mama Melrose's. We've never been there, and since we'd be eating light in the lounge tonight, a sit down lunch would be nice. No prob! ADR, 12:30pm. We headed to the studios. KT grabbed fastpasses for TSM, we headed for the Backlot tour, KT wanted some pics she didn't get before, then to One Mans Dream, and saw the movie too, which I loved. Then to Animation studios. We love to play with the computers and add our voices to Disney song and script. We always have a blast doing this. What was new this time for us, was going into the studio to learn how to draw a character. This was sooooo much fun. We drew Ray, the firefly from the Princess and the Frog. http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp324/lcrimando/SANY4879.jpg This was a wonderful experience we could all take part in..well, sort of. Even though we were at the front of the line, I suddenly felt like I was in a roller derby when the doors opened. This one woman was a lunatic, she was frantic to secure an entire row, and in the process, bumped Kai out of a seat. Tears ensued, I had evil looks for the woman, and I gave up my seat to Kai, but a kind older man said he just wanted to watch, and gave Kai his seat. Thank you.:thumbsup:
After this we headed to Mama Melroses. It was so empty, but they placed us at a table in the back by the service area. ??? We politely requested a booth, and were lead to a better seat in the main room. We liked this place. We shared three flatbread pizzas and calamari. Loved the calamari. We would come back here. Service was quick, food good, prices good for Disney. We rode TSM after lunch, and headed back to the Polynesian.
This was another afternoon of play. Love my view from my hammock. http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp324/lcrimando/SANY4908.jpg And my hammock always seems to be open.
We had dinner in the lounge, after debating if we should try to get into Kona's. The reason we love Kona's at dinnertime is the bread and butter. Its amazing. So unusual and delicious. Well, Kai surprised us. He said he was going lizard hunting before dinner. Instead he took himself to the podium at Kona's, told the young man it was KT's BD, and she loves the bread so much. He asked for a loaf and said he had his room key to pay for it. Well, Kona's gave him two loaves for free along with the butter, and plenty of it!!! He brought it to the lounge and suprised us all and we had it with our lounge offerings!!! Go Kai!! http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp324/lcrimando/SANY4918.jpg So we had what we love about Kona's after all.
Straight to the MK after dinner for a ride on HM, Buzz and Pirates. Our three favorites. We had to make our last wishes in the fountain behind the castle, and we headed out happy and satisfied. Made it back in time for the Electrical Water Parade and Wishes. Our last Wishes! Since the show is changing in June. This was a happy last day. Tomorrow we go home.
