Day 5
It was Day 5 and virtually everything was done except Star Tours, Fireworks, It's a Small World (refurb till Friday), Redwood Creek Challenge (refurb till Friday) and Electronica. I also still needed to buy my tea.
We woke up, got ready, and made it to the Magic Morning! First stop was Star Tours. This ride is crazy popular out there. Always the longest line in both parks. It's the same exact deal as WDW--but for some reason it didn't seem as "on" as WDW's and made me a little dizzy--DH thought the same.
We battled it out on Buzz again. Only select attrations are open for Magic Mornings so we were deciding if we needed to go back to Fantasyland... ehhh let's just go to brunch early. I had an 11am ADR for Goofy's Brunch, but it was a little before 10. What can I say... I'm a breakfast eater! We hopped the monorail while we were in Tomorrowland and it took us to Downtown Disney pointing towards the DLH. We made our way over there, explored the resort for a minute, and went in to see if they could take us early.
They said it was no issue--the place was dead. Maybe 10-15 tables in the whole place. I really liked getting here when I was actually hungry, rather than rolling out of bed, rushing to get to breakfast, rushing to get out of breakfast and making it to the parks. I liked going to the park, then coming over mid morning! Before being seated, we took a picture with Goofy.
We ordered our drinks and started towards the buffet. O-M-G
This is the most fantastic buffet I've ever seen. Of course it's a brunch so there was everything from real thick bacon, to roast beef and mashed potatoes, p/b and j pizza, to real pizza, ice cream, dirt dessert, pastries, salad, mac and cheese..... you name it... you got it!! It wasn't standard Disney buffet bleh either. It was real, live, food
DH was in heaven. He said he wanted to eat there everyday, lol. Next time, we'll add it a couple times!
We were visited by Chip, Dale, Pluto, Pinocchio, Rafiki, the Mad Hatter, and DH's girlfriend Aurora. I'm thinking I'm missing someone, but can't put my finger on it right now. I loved the randomness of the Characters!! We hated to leave, lol.
We went to check out the pool for a minute, and just walked the grounds of DLH.
What to do?
Well there was more shopping. We took that stuff back to the room and I decided that I was going to clean up and pack just a little while we relaxed. We ate a lot. I knew Friday would be busy, so I thought if I could just pack a few things that we'd be a step in the right direction. DH napped, I got everything that we wouldn't need the next day all together. Made sure all my coffee mugs were secure, packed all my plush from the Boardwalk games strategically so when they opened my luggage, all my animals would be staring at them
Okay--big suitcase packed. We laid around for a bit. I didn't really know what to do.
Finally we got up, went into DCA, got a fast pass for WOC just in case, and found ourselves back at the Sorcerer's Workshop, and we made seriously failed attempt at drawing Mickey. Those are the only ones we threw away--I blame it on the teacher that flew through it and didn't give us enough time, lol. Major fail--and DH said he was done with that for the rest of the trip, lol.
I made him ride King Triton's Carousel with me, lol. It was cute, I loved the colorful sea creatures!
We hopped over to the other side into DL and used an immediate fast pass for Space Mountain again. I just love it there! We walked for a bit, went into the Pin store in Frontierland and bought a few random boxes to open over dinner. We like to see what we got and maybe use them to trade.
It was finally time for our Blue Bayou reservation. I had been waiting for this all week. Each entree comes with salad or gumbo. I don't eat either, but I ordered the gumbo. I ate the rice off the top, lol. Our waiter asked if I didn't like it and I said that I just wanted the rice. He came back with an entire soup cup of rice for me!! I loved the rice... mmmm!! This made me happy, lol. I got the surf and turf with filet and lobster tail. DH got the Roasted Beef Strip Loin. Both entrees were fantastic. Soooooo good. This is a must do in the future!! We really enjoyed our meals. The ambiance is nice and dark and it's in the POTC ride! I need to look at my pictures to see if we got a Chocolate Cake or not. I can't remember, lol. That's terrible, lol. I do remember after tip and discount that I left a $100 bill--so I'm thinking that I didn't get the cake. Maybe I watched someone eat it, lol. Who knows.
After we left, we looked in the shops. The perfume shop tried to hard sell DH and I when we were looking at the Dior stuff. I like to smell the classics we don't have at the store because I can order them on my gratis orders. The guy was pushy and asked me why I didn't want to buy it if I loved it. I told him for the 3rd time, very nicely... because I get it for free through Dior. He didn't get it--no english. So instead of sniffing a little more, we left. I plan on ordering Dolce Vita and Diorissimo this time, but I wanted to get something for DH too... but we'll sniff in May in Epcot, lol.
---off topic---there's a weird energy in the office today. it's creepy.
Anywho. DH played around by the Club 33 door. I would love to someday get to go there. We'll put it on my dream bucket list... along with
Disneyland Paris that I was pricing this morning
I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to go see WOC in person again. We had the fast passes, so we wandered over there, found a pretty great spot in the wet zone again and waited. Of course we waited about 45 minutes and 3 minutes prior a group of teens tried to push their way up to the front in between all of us waiting--almost knocking over a stroller next to me. Between me, DH, and the couple with the stroller... we ran them off
We were a great team, lol. I decided I was going to do nothing but watch this time. No pictures, just taking it all in. I did, I teared up, and I didn't want to leave. I loved every minute of it. Le Sigh. I can't get enough of that show. The fun thing is... some parts change periodically and I've been youtubing to see some of the different ones!!
We were tired. We made it back up to the room, packed up a little more, got organized. I made sure I had somewhat of a plan for the next day. I can't believe it was the last day!! There was so much that was being refurbed, or built, that we were missing. We never made it to the pool, it was too cold. Ugh... well it's decided--we'll just have to come back
Next up is the last day. I'll put more pictures for this day in when I get home tonight.
I want to go back and see it ASAP!!
Eventually I will talk DH into DL....or sneak away the kids and I 
It took them about 20 minutes to get me off of it. I wasn't stressing, lol. The floor lowers, but they couldn't get it up, lol. Always an adventure. It was this one:
. He isn't a coffee drinker and thinks the mocha made him sick. We got to our last coaster, the Pony Express, and we rode it 4 times in a row without getting off the ride!! I wish they had a ride like this in WDW!! It was so fun!! It should be a TRON ride 
I also couldn't believe we knocked out an entire amusement park and were in our hotel in pajamas by noon 
I really hope DH felt better after the nap. That stinks. At least you made it throught the park....it stinks to be sick on vacation. PHOOEY
In his defense--- there is a coaster that spins you while your on the coaster and I think that did it. I have an iron stomach when it comes to spinning and flipping upside down. Him... not so much, lol. 
IDK what to do without your TR.....re-read perhaps
