What a lovely day! I've never seen the fireworks from anywhere but in front of the castle.

Day 8
Day 8: Sunday 2 November 2008
I actually have some notes and quite a few pictures for this day! I have to say, it’s seems like I will never get this Trip Report done. I’m having a hard time remembering any little details and thus the story is becoming boring. I need to wrap this up before my next trip to the World, which is next month! Well here we go….. Today was daylight saving day…..which by the way, I hate. Takes me forever to get use to the time change…anyhoo…..this was our “Free to Choose Day”. These were our choices: Quote:
The weather today was to be warm and rainy. First off we decided to go to the Whispering Canyon Café. But the 8:15am ADR I had was too early for us to make it in time so I called Disney Dining and had it changed to 8:45. Funny thing happened this morning as we were getting ready…..it’ one of the few things I wrote in my notes because I didn’t want to forget to tell you. Do you remember how the toilets are in the Disney hotel rooms? The seats aren’t complete ovals….they have the piece missing in the front…I guess so you don’t pee on your own toilet seat?  Well anyways….when the lid in down, the toilet seat sort of forms a little slot. Do you see where this is going? Liam had grabbed my toothbrush in its travel container and before I knew it…..plop! In the toilet went my toothbrush. I had to used Liam’s tiny toothbrush for the next few days. I’m just happy he hadn’t discovered this earlier in the week….who knows what he would have put in there. Dressed and ready we were off to the WL. No need to valet park here…the parking lot is really close to the front door. We checked in to WCC and were seated without too much wait. I seem to remember the service being slow but our waitress was pleasant….I think she had too many tables. DH and I both ordered the skillets….I don’t have the receipt…we either got Liam the kids fruit plate or he shared off our skillet. I do remember that the per person price of the skillet was $3 more then the menus on allears. I don’t remember if this happened before our after our breakfast arrived but they started to do the stick pony thing around the restaurant. I had no idea they did that at breakfast…....I (wrongly) thought that all that stuff just happened at dinner. I scooped Liam out of his high chair so fast I think we looked like Dash when he is running thru the jungle on the island. I made my way thru the now packed waiting area with him and into the grand lobby to wait out the pony rides and commotion. Our waitress had seen me do this, and asked DH what was wrong. He explained about Liam and our waitress came and got me when the pony ride thing was done. And she explained that there is a ramp off to the side of the restaurant so if I had to take him out again it would be easier to go that way. What a nice waitress. Now to the food….I have no food porn so I’ll keep it simple. Our first skillet was cold and the food was “dry”. Our next skillet had hot food and tasted much better then the first. Was it worth $15 per person? I don’t think so. I’d rather do a buffet because it took forever to get each of the skillets. I’m in no hurry to get back to the WCC…maybe for dinner when the kids are older and can get into the action of the place with the ketchup and stuff. After breakfast we walked around the resort and stopped into the gift shop to poke around. We got Liam an apple juice $2.12 (tax included). We looked for the playground but didn’t find it….I don’t know why we didn’t ask a CM where it was. I have since learned it’s on/near the beach. And that was about it….we headed back to CBR. Here are some of the pictures I took that morning.

I'm not going to lie.
I moaned out loud when I saw your pictures of the Wilderness Lodge. Is it okay to be homesick for a place you only "live" once every other year?

Yikes about Liam and your toothbrush! Like you said, thank goodness he didn't discover that "cool" slot sooner!
Too bad about the food and noise at WCC, but your photos of WL are gorgeous!

We didn't have the best of experiences with dining on that trip. And the thing is....at home Liam is a joy to take out to eat. People come over to us to tell us how well behaved his is. (All 4 of us went out to eat for the first time tonight....it was only Chilis but both kids did awesome!)

Oh my goodness, Heidi, that is just so typically two!! They just love to explore the "cause and effect" of their actions... Billy once flushed our Annual Passes down the toilet! The "effect" on Mommy was not what he expected....  BTW, I love how you organized your "free day" like a multiple-choice quiz! I was tempted to get out my #2 pencil... Kathy

Hi - I just followed you over to this trip report from Kathy's! It's fun to read since you went last year the same week we are going this year. Thanks for posting the DTD Halloween brochure - I wasn't sure exactly they had going on - now I do
 It seems your trip was quite the adventure - but you sure did perservere!
