What a wonderful birthday weekend! Seriously it was the whole weekend of fun. Friday, Caren let me sleep in and took care of the dogs. Then we had a great breakfast together and she gave me my "birthday plate" It was a plate with a birthday card and small gifts. A few new antenna toppers, mickey socks and then my real gift which has more value then it cost to me.
This was so awesome to get from her and I know she put a lot of work into it to pick the best pictures of us over the past year.
After that it was off to Magic Kingdom for some good food, good rides, and fun with friends. We had a few fast passes setup that all 6 enjoyed and then Space Mountain for the few of us. Once that was done it was back to the campers to clean up, get a drink in us and head to the Contemporary. I had made the reservation to have dinner during Wishes the day we could make ADRs.
Caren had a wonderful surprise waiting for me at the table. She knocked it out of the park for me!
She put a lot of work into that to make sure it was tehre on time for us. I thought it was just awesome.
We had just finished our appetizers when Wishes started so we went out onto the deck to watch it. I will say if you choose one deck over the other, pick the one closer the water bridge, it is less crowded and I think a better view then closer to the park.
We had a wonderful dinner and it definitely left Disney on the mind.
After we finished dinner there was talk of hitting another bar, but it was late and instead we retired to the campsites where I enjoyed a good cigar and a glass or two of port before we called it a night.
Saturday we where off to Hollywood Studios for some fast passes to see the Lights, Camera, Action! Stunt show, Indiana Jones, and Ride Rockin Roller Coaster.
Of course being the type of group where are we did find some tasty beverages between shows and rides!!!
After a round our two we worked out way over to Indiana Jones, which of course we interact very well with the cast members and always get photo ops.
Of course on this route we saw a little girl with a bubble wand and the ladies where now in search of one. Turns out the store was completely sold out!! So we tabled that for now.
After Indiana Jones those not going to Rockin Roller Coaster settled in at the tune in lounge where Julie the best bartender (really awesome person and server) had us all settled down for a few classics.
I did mention we interact rather well with cast members so we always have a great time with them.
Soon our evening fast passes for Rocking Roller Coaster where ready and the 3 of us (Caren, Lisa and I) set off to have a blast. I will warn you, the ride is not that bad tipsy but I was happy I chose to wait on my next beverage till after the ride.
Well as we walked over to the roller coaster we managed to find the bubble wands which I picked up for the ladies. I made them wait till after the ride which we had a blast on to have them. Then once assembled it was like to 7 year olds rather then 29 year olds.
After the fun on the ride we made it back to our group just in time to catch the Star Wars fireworks. I have not sorted through all those pictures yet to post some, but it was a great show and addition to the park! After that we spent a little more time in Tune in Lounge having a good time before it was time to head back to the pups and get some sleep.
I am out of time today to talk about Sunday and we had a great time as well. Caren had a nice spa appointment this morning, hopefully catch up with PAHunter today and spend the evening time in Magic Kingdom for a few evening fast passes and catch Wishes.
