Last week I posted about Hollywood Studios and Epcot. The same day we went to Epcot we had reservations at 1900 Park Place (I think that’s the name of the restaurant) at thr Grand Floridian Resort. Since it was a character meal we didn’t want to miss it. For some reason I thought it was an Alice in Wonderland type thing but apparently it was Cinderella and family. Here are some of the photos.
The pictures are pretty crappy. I had not had the chance to experiment with the camera’s lighting settings yet. It’s not like I’m trying to sell them or anything, it’s the memories that count.
The girls were very happy to see Cinderella but it was the evil stepmother and stepsisters that stole the show.
Mean faces…
The wife is going to kill me for posting that one…
A very content RePete.
We had intended on going back to the Animal Kingdom the next day as there were several things I wanted to do that we didn’t get to do on our short day there but by the time that last day rolled around I was so fucking tired of being there that I wanted an easy day….The last day of our trip next time…
The next morning (June 3rd) we went to Epcot. I had never been to Epcot before and I was really impressed.
The week was finally getting to us and we overslept. We had a Princess Breakfast scheduled for something like 8:30 in the morning for the girls at Epcot and we woke up at something like 7:30. Since the Wife and Pete had stayed up much later than RePete and nyself they decided they did not want to get out of bed. Repete and I made the mad dash to Epcot. It seemed like we had to wait forever. First we had to ride the monorail to the transit center and switch to another train and ride that all the way to Epcot. We had to wait forever. Then we got lost in Epcot 🙂
We ended up getting to breakfast 30 or 40 minutes late but they were gracious enough to seat us anyway. Repete got to meet several of the princesses she had not met before…
Show White…
Princess Aurora…
Mulan…
…and Princess Jasmine, who incidentally has a really nice rack.
RePete and I had a really great time and since the breakfast was held in the Norse(?) area there were lots of cool new foods to try for her. I had a bit of smoked salmon with my eggs and she got to try several different types of cheeses. RePete LOVES cheese.
The wife and Pete showed up around 10:30 and we spent the rest of the day wandering around Epcot. There’s some more pictures in the extended entry.
I haven’t posted anything else about our trip to Disney since around the beginning of July so I thought it a good time to put up some more pictures from the trip.
The last time I was talking about it I had gotten to our day at Hollywood Studios.
We had to drag the kids to see the Lights, Motors, Action! show. It was pretty hot that day and neither of them seemed to want to see it but once we got there they enjoyed it.
This is the set from Lights, Motors, Action!
One of the favorite things for the kids on both of our trips to Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios) is to play in the “Honey I shrunk the Kids” area. They always have a blast and it’s nice to get into the shade after walking around the park for a while.
We didn’t spend the entire day at Hollywood Studios as we had dinner reservations somewhere at the Magic Kingdom I believe. So we rode the bus back to our resort and then caught the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.
I honestly can’t remember where we ate that night. I don’t have any pictures so it must not have been one of the character meals. I do remember that we stayed awhile and since it was open late that night RePete and I caught the boat back to the hotel while Pete and the wife stayed past midnight. We were already getting toward the end of the trip and by that time it had kicked my ass good. We went to Epcot the next day. I had never been to Epcot before and I really enjoyed it. The next time it’s just the wife and I we are definitely going back.
