Where - Fairfield Inn
Who - Mal, MDM, Belle, and Wei
Why - To shop!
We had decided to leave as soon as school got out (MDM was teaching.) She was out at 1230pm. I needed to run to the bank to drop a deposit. Well, the customer gave us a counter check from a bank back east, so I spent 2 hours waiting to get approval so the bank wouldn't hold the check for 10 days. We finally hit the road at 3pm, arriving at the Fairfield at 810p. We checked in, dropped our stuff, adn headed to Buca di Food. We decided never to do this again with only 2 of us. Too much food, and we wouldn't have time to use it for left overs. Hit the sack.
Sat AM... We had ressies for Carnation Cafe, but due to rain that was cancelled. We needed to meet a friend to get a "Friends and Family" ticket to Company D, so we opted to head into the park and look around while we waited. As we passed through the turnstiles, IT STOPPED RAINING!! We headed to the Showcase, where we spot Pinnochio and Geppeto, so took the pup over to visit. Then MDM went over by the Showcase and sat on the bench to adjust the pups cape and up walks Mickey!! So puppy visited Mickey for a while. Headed to Riverbelle for breakfast. Our friend calls at 10 and says he will be at the 15 min parking at 1030. We chug breakfast and head to the parking area.
I met up with our friend, and he gives me 2 - 2 people tickets. Since my mom was with my SIL, we planned to pick her up and take her with us. But now we had 1 extra spot... A quick scan of my phone contacts to figure out who was close by, and we found Toocherie was available to join us! We met up at Company D, where there were deals to be had! Spent a couple hours shopping and got some great deals! Then went to lunch and had a great chat! Got back to the hotel about 3, so I headed in to see the flag retreat. I met up with my SIL and nephews and we watched the parade, then I headed to meet MDM for dinner at Cafe Orleans. Afterwards we met back up with SIL and brother and kids for an interesting evening..... Ended with hot chocolate and back to the room about 11.
Sunday, up and out for breakfast, a trip to Character Warehouse, a quick trip through Sees (to see how different it was, it wasn't) and headed home!
Quick, but fun!
