8:45 AM - huh wazzzat didkr whattime is it zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
11:50 AM - HUH WAZZAT TIME IS IT???? Noon!?!!??! The last time I slept until noon I was still in diapers. And not the adult kind that my Dad wears.
Wow. Tracey is actually laying next to me in bed. She had a lousy sleep. I actually had a good one, but I was up until 1:30 AM watching the results of the Kings game. FFS, they blew a 3-0 against a minor league team (the Jets) and lost in a shootout, giving the Ducks a chance to win the division today. What a colossal error that might turn out to be. And obviously it was a colossus error on my part staying up that late!
I feel about the same today; hoping that this damn cold has peaked and I will start to feel a little better every day. If that happens, I should be feeling 100% just in time to go back to work next Monday. PFFT.
We hop in the car and head up to the main pool for a few hours of R&R and some time in the lazy river. After about an hour of that, I'm done; I think all the cold medicine I'm taking doesn't like me laying out in the sun for too long. I leave Tracey at the pool and head back to the room where I basically do nothing for an hour. Sit with the computer on my lap dozing off every few seconds. It might have been the least restful rest ever.
4:00 PM - Back to the pool to pick up the wife and get her back in time for "The Process (TM)" to be completed so that we can make our 7 PM dinner reservations at the Liberty Tree Tavern. Some of you may remember this restaurant, we go here every trip. It's "family style" dining, meaning the food just keeps on coming until someone barfs or passes out. The food is always excellent, too.
5:40 PM - Into the car headed to the MK. Guess we'll have to actually pay for parking today as I can't figure out a way to park at the mini-golf place and get to the MK without going through Epcot, and we don't have park hopper passes so that's out.
6:30 PM - We arrive at the Magic Kingdom with no lines at security and no wait at the gate. So far, so good. Checking the wait times, there are very few long wait times for anything. The Dwarves are at 70 minutes and the second longest wait time, and I'm not shitting you, is 60 minutes for Peter Pan. Unreal.
7:00 PM - Dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern. Family style and great food is always their hallmark; except for this time, when the food was really just pretty OK. Last time we were here I felt that it had slipped just a tiny bit too. Perhaps our little "hidden gem" has become so un-hidden that they are churning out too much food too quickly and the quality has suffered. It's still far from lousy, but not up to the usual standards. This has definitely slipped off the "must do" list.
Can't complain about the service, though. Tracey laments that her favorite item, macaroni and cheese, is no longer part of dinner...so our waiter gets them to make her some! Not to mention that our glasses don't get close to being empty before our pop is refilled. The food wasn't perfect, but the service sure was.
We had a wonderful night at the MK, knocking a bunch more rides off our list and taking in the breathtaking scenery that is Disney at night.
Not to mention, pictures with Anna and Elsa from Frozen! My 'pictures-with-Disney-princesses' wish list is back down to one. Just the white whale.
Pocahontas, be afraid. Be very afraid. I'm coming for you on Tuesday.
So please be there!!!!
11:30 PM - Back at the resort and absolutely exhausted. Looking to adjust some plans for later in the week to try to take in more stuff at night as it's so much better than the hot days. We'll see if we are able to switch our Fastpasses to later times.......
Off to bed. Tomorrow? Butterbeer. Oh yes, there will be Butterbeer.
