Yikes
Only 10 days till DS's wedding!
Sunday my walking partner and I walked 12.6 KM with the running room club. We did alright and I am not sore. I noticed at about 8km I needed food...and I only had 50 cents on me so I bought 3 timbits (donut holes) at a Tim Hortons we passed by. That got me home. I think I'll start carrying something for these long walks.
Last trip installment..MGM day and our last day.
Can I just say that if you haven't tried 50"s Prime Time you have missed a great experience. Our "Cousin Barbara" was great. Kim didn't finish her ham and she scolded her as we expected. What we didn't expect was when Kim's Smore dessert came it came in two plates. When Kim cut into the one plate there was her ham covered in whipped cream and chocolate bits. Hilarious!
We went to the Brown Derby for supper. We weren't sure if it was worth two table credits until we had the food. My steak was truly the best steak I've ever tasted. Erin's chicken was the best she had ever had. Kim had the crab cake appitizer and it was wonderful. We basically raved about the food all through the meal. We did the Fantasmic dinner package but as we had already seen it we gave a family of three our vouchers after we left the restaurant.
So basically we saw everything at MGM. Rerode all our favourites. And we were out of the park at a decent hour. I liked having been to MGM once already becuase we never felt rushed. And we finally understood the fast passes well enough to really use them effectively. Only took us 8 days!
We went back to POFQ and I wanted to see the Old Man River pool at Riverside. So we got on our swim suits and took the boat over. Funny though once I saw it I didn't have to swim in it. It was very nice but ours was too so we boated back and swam in our pool.
Our final day....very sad. We gathered up all the unopened food and drinks and gave them to a family. And got our luggage headed off to the airport by Magic Express and got our boarding passes etc. Then we headed to Downtown Disney to shop and have lunch at Earl of Sandwich. Kim wanted an Ariel Frame she had seen at MGM but thought she would just buy at Disney Downtown on her last day. Big mistake. Kim's eyes kind of well up when she realizes she can't buy it there. She didn't realize we saw it and Erin and I decide we had finished shopping and there is time to get to MGM and back so off we head on the bus to a resort so we can get a bus to MGM. Now we get the BEST driver ever. He just takes us to MGM instead of going to his resort first as we are the only people on his bus when he hears the story.
How's that for Disney magic! And we get the frame which Kim has now on her bureau with her picture of her and Ariel together....Yes we waited at the Grotto to get a picture of the two of them.
And thats our trip. My favourite show has to be Cirque de Soliel.
