Hi everyone,
Well we made the best of a wet situation..... it rained 3 out of 5 fulldays in Disney.
Stayed at Summerfield Suites LBV.... really liked it. Two bedrooms - one with a king bed and one with 2 doubles... both had ensuite bathrooms, big closets,t.v. and dressers.
Full kitchen ... but didn't use it except for Microwave and fridge
Living room was small but worked for 3 adults and one child in wheelchair.
Didn't use pool... too cold.
Did AK first day. sunny and warm but cool breeze. Lots of character greetings but disabled DD is scared of them so we skipped them. She was asked to be in the Festival of Lion King performance and had a blast.... got it all on video. Loved the parade. She was more interested in the driver than the animals on safari.
Next Epcot and World Showcase .... in the rain. Very wet but made best of it. Ate lunch in japan at the teppanki place... good food and filling. Did the Kidcot masks but parade was cancelled. Decided to go home early and try on our last day.
WEnt to the new Millenia Mall ... bit too snobbish for my taste but got a beautiful red Xmas dress for RYleigh for 1/2 price at Bloomingdales. Rained all day again.
MVMCP on the 10th. LOVED THIS EVENT!!! wasn't too crowded and got to ride almost everything. Saw both parades and fireworks. Mickey's Twas the NIght before Xmas was Great!!! Would definitely consider doing this again.
MK and World Showcase on the 11th. Saw the snaowglobe parade and rode Alladins carpets. Other than that walked around. Ate at UK Rose and Crown..... food was fantastic. WILL go eat there again! Plus the staff were really friendly. Saw Tapestry of Nations parade... wasn't too impressed. DD was bored. Saw CP.... great performance and watched Illuminations for VIP viewing area by fluke.
Also ate at TGIF's, Jungle JIm's , Uno Pizzeria, and Tony Roma's.
Flew Air Canada and had great servive but I hate the small planes.
They have a great sweatshirt with the shape of ickeys head and ears with the american flag in it. Bought 2... great quality... really heavy and thick. DD got MVMCP sweatshirt and special beanie, a goofy xmas beanie, and a Fantasia Mickey.
Now planning 2003 trip!
