Day 14

It's Mother's Day and we enjoyed a brunch at the Wave. This was another uneventful day with a quick trip to the Premium Outlet mall because Cathy blew a hole in her running shoes and needed a new pair. Thank God. Now I get to give her a Mother's Day gift.

It seams that Van Husen has a great sale going on and I walk out with bags full of new clothes. Sorry Cathy.

Dinner at Long Horn and back to the resort to enjoy some koolaids at Animal Kingdom Lodge with Pam and Tom.

The coolest thing for me about a visit this long, is all of the pressure to "go go go!!!" must be gone.
You have such a massive amount of time, unlike the average visitor, that the need to rush here or there must be gone. I think about that when I am down there with my family, and think of the families who only get one shot, and the pressure they must feel.
We get down once or twice a year(not enough!), and still my kids are crazed by the time we check in. If it takes a second longer than it should, they are out of their minds to hurry and get to the parks. I would LOVE to be able to turn to them and tell them to chill out because they "have a month!". That would be awesome!

That balcony is awesome and the sight in the canal is too. I have never seen one of those critters up close at WDW. Did they come and collect him?

the balcony is really huge. I am jealous.

You can keep what was in the canal. I would have run.

I am wait listed for both BWV and BCV for October and I hope I get one. You make them look so great.

OMG, we have a friend. Is this real or is it one of Walt's animatronics?



Nothing animatronic about this fellow. I called security to advise them of the situation and they asked if he was being aggressive or threatening. I told them no and they told me that this was not uncommon and to let them know if he started to change his demeanour. OK.

I am the same way. Even with 26 days would I still be crazy semi commando? I always feel i need to get my monies worth.

Great TR by the way.
