When - Friday June 25- Sunday June 27
We left about 930am and headed to Anaheim. We had seatings at Ariel's at 720p. We arrived about 4pm, to find they had messed up our rooms (supposed to be connecting, but we weren't even in the same wing!) After we get checked in, my brother and his family comes to visit in the room, then we headed to the park. I told my brother we had reservations for Ariels and would be splitting up then. He had tried getting FP in the am, but didn't understand the system so was unable to get them.
We ended up going on Monster's Inc before we headed over to Ariels. He was disappointed about not seeing WoC. As we past the picnic area (it was 645) I suggested since the kids were hungry, he should get tickets that way. They still had meals available, so they did that. Then I warned them that Screamin' would be closing about 730p, so if they wanted to do that, they should get it in. I headed over to meet up with the kids.
We checked in at 710p (kids were in the Cove Bar having a drink) and were seated at 725p. Dinner was good and we headed afterwards to get a spot for the show. After the show, we headed back to the room and relaxed.
Sat Morning - I had ressies for Carnation Cafe. It was a cool morning. We headed over to the park, I picked up our Club 33 tickets and headed into the park. We had a great breakfast. The kids went off to ride rides, while I met up with my sister and the boys and we headed to Fantasyland. We hit most of the biggies, then took the train around to NOS where we did Pirates and back to Pooh's. Then we headed to Buzz, but it broke down. So, we decided it was time to head back to the hotel. It was about 2pm and I had friends joining us at the hotel.
Friends joined us in the room, and we had a GREAT time, with some Magicale and Fairytale, some Boy Bait, chocolate covered strawberries, pineapple, watermelon, and pretzels! Now, keep in mind we needed to be at Club 33 for dinner! We changed and left when we needed (leaving friends behind in our room....) My brother and SIL joined us at Club 33 for dinner. I also got a call from our sponsor, who wanted to meet up after dinner!!!! It was a busy day!
We got to Club 33 on time, and were seated in the trophy room. I really like this room. We had 2 great servers. They worked in tandem. I was nervous about finding foods we would like, as we have very plain tastes. But since we have always liked teh soups, I opted to try the Butternut Squash Bisque. It was excellent. My son also got it, while the girls ordered salads. MDM ordered the Artisian Cheese plate and really enjoyed it. My son also ordered a salad. Well, after the soup, they brought out our entrees. My son discreetly asked "Didn't I order a salad?" The server, very dead panned, answered "Yes you did." Pause. "It was very good." Then he asked if it would be ok to bring it after the entree. For dessert, the guys chose the Creme Brulee, while all the females chose the chocolate trio. It was EXCELLENT!!! We had fun watching my brother investigate the balconies. He looked at all the pics, and had to be content with pictures of the ladies room. Dinner was almost 3 hours!
After dinner, my SIL and brother headed back to the hotel to relieve the babysitter, while the kids and I met up with our friend. I couldn't believe we talked for almost 2 hours! We ended by riding Pirates together, before we headed out. We stopped at Jungle Cruise, and had one of the best Skippers EVER!!!!
Back to the hotel, only to find our room had been TP'ed in our absence!
Sunday morning, off to shop. We hit a few stores, ran into the Billies and Youngest took some pics. Then we headed out to head home.
Til the next trip......
