We went shopping for a little bit. Sidney bought me some yummy smelling lotion here. The H2O brand. It smells just like lemons and it makes your skin so soft! Bolt picked himself out a cute little hat that has the monorail, trains, and the boats on it. It makes sounds too. He loves that hat. By now they were all three spent out on the money my parents gave 'em to spend.

MOM TAKE MY PICTURE!!!!!

Ugh! I hate shopping! Unless it's at the Lego store!

We went here next!

We ate here this past December and the food was really really good! Of course there was no one else around. I think there may have been 6 other people total in the place who were not CM's. I was looking forward to this meal. The place was slammed this time because of the rain I suppose. I took myself a little break before making my way in. This was my view.

We all went and ordered our food...which took FOREVER! Yes, they cook most everything to order but they were so busy and lines were out of this World. It was crazy! We ended up eating outside. It was still lightly raining but you could see clear skies off in the background. Sitting outside was nice. It was cool from the rain and we were by ourselves! Inside was a madhouse with people fighting over tables. Here is what we ordered...

Sidney: He said the steak was really tough and not very tasty. He didn't eat much of his veggies either and I've never seen Sidney not eat those. He LOVES vegetables!

Me: Mine was okay. The meal I had in December was a lot better though.

And the boys started out with this....round chicken patties that looked like they'd be good right?

NO, they were HOCKEY PUCKS! I kid you not Dash could not bite through the chicken patty. Sidney took them back inside and came back with a pizza instead.

The pizza was delicious....so I was told.

Here's a close up of the dessert I had. No complaints here.

I'm thinking maybe we went on an off day but the reviews I've seen lately have been more negative than positive. As we finished up dessert the rain pretty much stopped. I took some pictures as we started back to the room.

This is how it looked off a little ways...

Someone wanted a picture by the ducks...

OneTreeHillAddict · 08-10-2009, 05:28 PM

Everything was still nasty wet...

I look over across the way and see the beautiful sunset...

The color gets prettier and prettier...

I realized this was a once in a lifetime view and we took full advantage. It was one of the prettiest sights I have ever seen.

Now the pictures were starting to look like post cards! The sky was BEAUTIFUL!

FYI nothing you see here is photoshopped! I don't have a clue how to even use the program. The colors...both the good and bad are how it actually looked that day. It was so pretty!

This sure don't look like you're in Disney World does it!?

Finally!!!! Something good came out of this rain!!!!

By now I was running out of daylight and everyone had left me. Sidney had went back to the room to get the baby ready to go and was now waiting for me in the truck. Someone was ready for the Magic Kingdom!

I still took a couple of more shots on the way out...

Rush rush rush...off to the Magic Kingdom we go!

WOW! Those pictures are absolutely amaazing! Thanks so much for sharing, CSR looks so beautiful

Maureenmouse · 08-10-2009, 06:12 PM

I love those pictures!!!!! You should sell some of them. ithink you captured some beautiful sights not seen by many! The ones of Gabby are great too! You make CSR seem great. We stayed there our very first trip and haven't been back since. I'm not sure why. I think we just fell in love with POFQ and keep going back there. I remember having to carry sleeping daughters at CSR and it was quite a walk to our room. maybe that's why.
Not long til your next trip. i know you're excited. I want to come. Do you thik they'd just let me skip the first few weeks of school? I'm still on my ebay quest to get to $1,000. I thik I'm around $4oo now. I'll never make it, but I'm trying.

Charleston Princess · 08-10-2009, 09:57 PM

Those sunset pictures are just gorgeous!!! I kept thinking, "This one is my favorite," and then I would see a different one and think the same thing! They are all so breathtaking!
