Our parkless day at WDW

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Wednesday the 10th was supposed to be our easy going day. I think I over planned it.

For starters our breakfast reservations were for 7:30 at Chef Mickey’s so we did get to sleep in. When I say we I mean my mom, sister, Wyatt, Brooklyn and myself. My dad was beat so he decided to sleep in and forgo the character breakfast.

We got on the bus to the Magic Kingdom with a few other people and when we arrived everyone got off. On the way out I asked what would be the quickest way to get over to the Contemporary resort and the driver said that walking over would be the quickest. I told her thank you and as we were about to get off of the bus she told us that she could just drive us over. I was surprised, thinking that the buses have to stay on a tight schedule, that she was able to do that. I wish I could remember her name so that I could right a letter to WDW. Breakfast was really nice. The food was really good and the kids actually ate, even with the characters coming around. They were able to get autographs from Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto.

Characters in Flight

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Here is a good photo of the Characters in Flight balloon over at Downtown Disney. Here is what the have to say about it.

“Guests will get a bird’s-eye view of Walt Disney World Resort as they soar to new heights in a whimsical attraction that recently opened at Downtown Disney. Characters in Flight, operated by Aerophile, is a giant tethered balloon that ascends some 300 feet into the sky every 10 minutes (depending on weather). Riders can catch the flight daily for $16 ($10 for ages 3-9).”

This looks like something I may have to try out with the kids when we go down in June

Our Day of Rest

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Wednesday is the day that we take time off from the parks. After breakfast, thanks to the WDW Today crew, my son and I are going to get up early and head over to Port Orleans Riverside to do a little fishing. He really likes doing things like this so I hope he like it. Afterwards we both are going to head over to the contemporary resort and rent a Sea Raycer for an hour and take a tour of Bay Lake.

When we are finished with our romp around the lake I would like to meet up with the rest of the family back at the pool at the resort and pick up some lunch at the food court. Lastly, towards the end of the day, I would like to get to Downtown Disney Marketplace and do a little shopping. I am really looking forward to seeing the kids faces as we walk into the World of Disney Store and also picking up some Christmas decorations at the Christmas store.

We are going to round out our day by having dinner at Raglin Road and get ourselves ready for a long day at Epcot.
