| Re: Victoria\'s Trip Report, Day One Good Lord, Sorry It took me so long to respond. It's almost been a month too. Hey, coming back from a trip like that is exhausting... Ok. So, DAY TWO. Let me begin by saying we got maybe, oh, 3 hours of sleep the first night. We had to be up before 6 our second day. That was for....Around The World @ Epcot. AKA: THE SEGWAY TOUR!!! (applause please) I don't think that the tour could have been any more fun than it was. My favorite part of the tour is when I made "skid marks" with my segway starting and stopping. Lunch was at Tempura Kiku, which was less than appetizing to say the least. As was most of the fish there, it wasn't really as good as it was in CA (sorry folks). There wasn't really anything wrong with it, it just didn't have any taste. Anyways, I got some tuna rolls, a combo platter and of course, a water (the water there was AWFUL!) and a Diet Coke. It started raining hard, and so we explored some of the pavilions in World Showcase. Some of the stuff was really good, like the Mexico ride, other things were just depressing, like the Norway ride. Dinner was at The California Grill, atop the wonderful Contemporary Resort. Our first reaction to the hotel was "Wow this looks really......contemporary." Well duh, that's why it was called that. Dinner, again, was less than impressive. I tried the Sushi Platter again (hey, I love sushi) and something else which I cannot remember! Mom got a flatbread that she liked. We both thought that the food was-does this make sense-too heavy to be Californian food. Our Evening ended with a Preferred Seating of Wishes, witch, compared to Remember Dreams Come True, wasn't quite as magical. DAY THREE Day three was our first Animal Kingdom day. We were scheduled to go to the Undiscovered Future World, but we were too unimpressed by World Showcase to really want to give it a shot. Our first ride was of course....Expedition Everest (....and by Mount Everest, I mean Expedition Everest) We ate lunch at Pizzafari, and it was just normal pizza, but it was good tasting pizza at least. We both had Diet Cokes with our meal, and we "shared" the pizza like we normally do, I get 3/4 of it. Do da do da DAAAAAAA!!! Dinner was at Victoria And Albert's, one of my fondest memories of the whole vacation. We had to whisper because they seated us under the dome...yikes. Anyway, before the dinner we went back out into the lobby and listened to the Jazz Quartet that was there...and the drummer kept smiling, waving and winking at me...he he. I must send out an "I'm A Drummer" Vibe everywhere I go. Anyways Victoria And Albert’s (hereafter called 'Vicki And Al's') was an unforgettable experience. I was totally amazed at the amount of just dazzling there was. I was surprised at some of the stuff they did, like seat us, the 'crumb scraper', and the constant filling of drinks. I guess that's what you're supposed to expect? Mom said that my manners were still great, which surprised me greatly. I didn't think my manners had been that great! Our Fourth Day To start out our fourth day, we ate at the Crystal Palace, and again, I was disappointed by the food quality. The eggs probably would have bounced if we had dropped them. Anyway, I have two really good pictures from that breakfast, so even if the food wasn't that tasty, the pictures were good. We did a little touring of the Magic Kingdom, since it was our second day in the park. We went on pretty much everything we wanted to, including The Haunted Mansion, Pirates Of The Caribbean, and a couple of other classics. We watched the Pirate show with Captain Jack Sparrow, and then were off to Typhoon Lagoon for EMH. The thing for the night was "Ok, One more wave, just one. You sure about that Victoria? Yeah, just one more." 15 waves later "Just one more wave..." We did the water coaster...I did some of the body slides, and oh yes. I had to be saved by the Life Guard at Shark Reef. Unfortunately, apparently he was really hot/cute, I didn't even see his face!!! (*fake tear*) So, what's up with that incident? Oh, I kinda freaked out, because I hate snorkeling, mostly because I don't know how to do it. It wasn't very funny then, but it's funny now. That's our Halfway Point, Check in later this week for more updates. Again, I apologize that it took me so long to post this. Victoria |
