Paging Dr. Freud.
Anyway after a quick breakfast, we are off to Epcot.
8:50 AM - interesting day for weather today; not a cloud in the sky, but windy as Hell, which makes it really cold. We have to head straight to a store to get Tracey a sweater so she doesn't whine all day, er, I mean so she isn't cold all day. Even though the park just opened there is already a 30 minute wait for Soarin', but we have lots of time so we hop into the line. In true Disney fashion, the actual wait isn't anywhere as long as the posted time; it was maybe 20 minutes.
12:00 PM - After a few other attractions we arrive at the China pavilion. First things first, we knock another off the aforementioned "Princess list", getting pictures with Mulan. As far as I know this is the only place on any Disney property in North America that she appears.
After perusing the shops in the China area (and sampling a pineapple flavoured pop that reminded me of the good old days when Pineapple Crush was available), we head to the Nine Dragons restaurant for lunch. Last time we were in Disneyland we bought a Disney cookbook that featured a recipe for their Honey Sesame Chicken which I have made a few times, so we wanted to see what it was actually supposed to taste like. Not to toot my own horn, but mine tasted pretty damn close. It was excellent. Tracey also had some potstickers, I had a couple of egg rolls, and some Kung Pao Chicken. Everything was fabulous, I highly recommend this restaurant.
After lunch we head into Germany and try a couple of wine flights, one white and one red. The red weren't anything special. The whites were all Rieslings, and to nobody's surprise I preferred the sweetest of the three. Tracey actually preferred the middle one. Either way, none of them were as good as the German Resling we always get back home.
Since we are going to be back here at least one more time, maybe twice, we decide to call it a day and head back. Guaranteed the next time we are here the wind will be less intense and it will be more pleasant.
2:45 PM - Back at the resort to relax and just chill for a while. Not sure what the evening will bring; probably depends on the wind and the temperature.
6:30 PM - after dinner we decided to walk down to the local pool and hit the hot tub, only to find that it has been drained and is being cleaned. That's it, we are leaving this crappy resort!
OK perhaps that's a bit hasty. I suppose we could go to one of the other dozen hot tubs if we really wanted to, but we decided to just head back to our townhouse and chill for the night. Tomorrow we are headed to Hollywood Studios to partake in a few thrill rides and I can't be tired for that! Need to be at my most alert to kick my wife's ass at Toy Story Midway Mania!
