Our groceries arrived at 9am on Sunday morning, so we unloaded them all and got dressed. On our last trip in Aug of 2012, the boys really wanted to build a car in DTD. So they saved their money and we headed out early in the morning to build their car. We took the yearly picture in front of the fountain,
Shopped around first
and then went over and they each built a Mater. They were thrilled. By the time we left, it was mid afternoon and it was hot..
We went back to the resort and to the pool to cool off.
I was fully expecting the sink to be fixed, so I was surprised that nothing was changed, the pile of towels that the young man had placed underneath the sink was still there. At this point I figured I would use the sink and just make certain that there wasn't a waterfall coming out. As the afternoon wore on, my little one kept complaining of being dizzy, and tired. Of course this is the trip I forgot my "medical supplies" and I didn't have a thermometer, but I just knew it....he had a temp. On Friday, he had come home with a note in his folder that someone in his class had strep....well why were they in class?!?!?!?!? Anyway, I called the front desk to inquire about a nearby walk in, and to remind them about the sink.
There are 4 walk in clinics in the general area which was good to know. We were able to call ahead and basically make an appt to come in. We get there and it is clean, the staff is wonderfully nice, they were efficient, and took our medical. The doctor just took one look into his throat... and she pronounced it as strep....as well as the fast test!!! They filled the antibiotic right there for $15 dollars and in 1 hour we were headed back to the resort. Now that is service!!
Monday was more of the same....relax at the pool. I have to say that was the reason we booked Beach Club. We knew we were only going in the park one day this trip so we wanted a pool that would totally keep the boys busy.
Tues was the day I was waiting for....Magic Kingdom!!! I, like many others, waited by the computer to book my dinner reservations at Be Our Guest. A few things came up since booking the reservation and we were going to change our MK day, but couldn't change our reservations for dinner so I politely told everyone that we would not be changing anything....I wanted in the castle!!! We did our usual walking around, inspecting the new Fantasyland, got a cinnamon roll at Gaston's Tavern Crazy big!!!! Had fun on the rides
and when it was time we headed over to BOG. Now, the check in system is a bit crazy with not a real clear indication as to where to go. They had CMs by the entry gate so you can't stand on the bridge without clearance. There was a check in booth with a rope separating people into 2 lines, but no one telling you what the lines were for. The one on the left was for standby and the one to the right was for reservations. We checked in, got a pager, and stood on the bridge.
They called us in and we sat in the ballroom....it was beautiful. Our waiter was fantastic and even had the chef come out and talk to me since I asked not to have the creamy Lobster sauce since I am lactose intolerant. She wanted to be certain I could eat all the other things....never had that happen before. The beast was announced and he came through then went to the study to have photos taken. We did walk over to the West Wing and saw his room and the rose in the glass. It was truly an enchanted experience. We ended our dinner with yummy dessert and I even had a taste of the Grey Stuff...and yes, it is delicious.
