I guess I can go ahead and do something unprecendented... for me anyways. I'm going to begin my trip report while I'm still on my trip! So, here goes:
Players: Me and my mother.
Day 1, Friday 11/18 (Dad's Birthday):
The Plan: Leave J-Ville about 9am, check in at The Beach Club and spend the rest of the day/night at EPCOT.
Reality: We left right at 9am and got to the hotel about 11:30am. We checked in and headed to our room. When we got there we walked in and immediately noticed that there was only 1 bed (Queen) and a sleeper sofa thingy. I was shocked! I have never seen a Disney hotel with less than 2 beds (unless it was 1 King) and this is a Deluxe level hotel! Well, I love my mom, but I'm not sharing a Queen bed with her for 3 nights and I'm WAY too big to be sleeping on the sofa sleeper. So, we called the front desk and got it worked out. We ended up in the room right next door, but at least this one had 2 beds!
We headed out to EPCOT and did the usual Soarin' Fastpass. We rode the Land, Nemo, Spaceship Earth, all with 5 minute wait times. We got our DIsney Visa pic with Minnie Mouse and went over to Universe of Energy.
After that, we headed to Egypt for dinner. We started out at La Cava de Tequila with a Strawberry Margerita while we waited on our table. We got a table right on the water a la Blue Bayou style. We had an amazing dinner and I couldn't even tell you what it was exactly. I had chicken with a cream sauce over rice and it was awesome.
We went to Soarin' then decided to tour the countries until Illuminations. We made it to Germany before we decided to wait for the show. We had a great bench seat between Germany and Italy and enjoyed the show. EPCOT was having the extra magic hours until midnight so we continued our trek around the world. We left about 11pm, so roughly 10 hours in the park. On the way back to the room we stopped at the bar for a nightcap (yes, more Margaritas) and brought them back to the room.
We talked to Amy several times during the day but could never get our schedules to cross... but don't worry, I'm SURE they will eventually.
Margerita count = 3
Day 2, 11/19:
The Plan: Start at Animal Kingdom then move to DTD, then Storm-A-Long Bay, dinner at Cape May, then to DHS for Fantasmic and the Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights.
Reality... coming soon (it's now 11:50pm and a long day planned tomorrow, so... Good night all!!!)
