Day 6 Part 1
Today was SWDAS! DD and our traveling friends had been so exited for this day.
We had filled out our form on the first day, and our top 2 requests had been met.
My parents had requested Trusty Companions and Resistance Base for their top 2. Unfortunately, our traveling companion's daughter had put Chewbacca as her number 1, and they did not get it. She was pretty sad. Because DD was getting her top 2 choices and my parents weren't too tied to anything, we gave our Chewbacca ticket to her.
That morning, I woke up around 7:00 and hit the gym. When I came back, I called room service. They arrived around 8:15 so I woke up DD and we had our typical breakfast.
Next up was Trials of the Temple. We checked in and went to the right side of the theater. DD sat with the kids and we headed down to the front to watch.
Just FYI- if you go to the right side, you'll fight the Inquisitor. Darth Vader was on the left. DD just thought being on stage and fighting was fun, but if your kid has strong opinions, keep that in mind.
Then we walked around seeing characters.
C3PO! Why do you have the light saber?
These guys were the best. They were so funny and they kept saying they were keeping their eye on DD. You know the thing where you point at your eyes and then point at the person? Yeah, they did that. Well, DD said No! I'm watching you! Then she did that to them every time she saw them. They also told her that she was a rebel secret weapon who distracted them with her stories. Hilarious! The guy on the left did have to step away for a minute when he starts laughing at her stories. She kept telling them she knew they were dark side because of their dark clothes. Seriously, we saw those guys several times and it was always funny.
We aslso saw the rebels from the new cartoon, Boba Fett, the purple bounty hunter, imperial guards, storm troopers and others. Unfortunately, we didn't see the Jawas even though we had a few things to trade.
For lunch, went to Cabanas and ate outside. That was so nice! They had curry and falafel. Both were fabulous! I also enjoyed the sushi.
After lunch, we got dd changed and hit the pools for a bit. After swimming, we dropped her off with our friends and my parents and I headed to our Chocolate and Liquor tasting in Ooh La La. I love the classes on
DCL. I feel like they are such a good value and I always learn things.
This time though the teacher was impressed that we knew some things about chocolate. Thank you Cozumel excursion!
Our pairings:
Melted white chocolate and caramel with champagne
Various pieces (dark, milk, white) with red wine (Nocturn)
Parmesan and dark chocolate with port
Melted dark chocolate with scotch whiskey
Our teacher was the somalier from Remy and I really enjoyed learning from him. While he wasn't as "fun" as some other teachers, I really enjoyed the obvious expertise he had to share. This class is one of the more expensive ones due to the high quality drinks, but again, I found it well worth it.
After the tasting, I headed out to get DD. I almost didn't make it.
She had gone to the First order meeting with our friends and was abuzz about seeing Kylo Ren. At this point, I took her to the room to get a little nap. I wanted her to rest so she could make it through the fireworks later.
