Disney Day 4




When we are at Disney the days go by WAY TOO FAST!  Day 4 was a more relaxing day.  We didn't wake up too early, we kind of just slept until we woke up without alarms.  We ate breakfast in the hotel at the Wave.  The food was really good, but the atmosphere wasn't great. It was much more of a "hotel" restaurant.  The cool thing though was, while we were getting food off the buffet, a cast member (restaurant manager) saw my Hokie shirt and commented on his family being Hokies.  We talked for a few minutes and after mentioning we lived in Blacksburg, we quickly found out we know his sister, brother-in-law and nieces and nephews.  SUPER COOL!  And the appropriate response "it IS a small world after all!" :) And he was so excited, he went to the back and called his wife to tell her.. and she was excited too :)  I LOVE wearing Hokie stuff in Disney, because I always feel like I know people.  Except I never know what to say when people walk by and say GO HOKIES.. I kind of just smile... 

Anyway.. after breakfast we headed to Hollywood Studios to get fast passes for Toy Story Mania.. We wanted to make sure we could ride it (fast passes usually run out) and it ALWAYS has a super long wait.  We got fast passes and then headed to downtown disney for a little shopping.  And for the record is was Brian and Dad who wanted to shop more than anyone!

We did a little shopping and had lunch at Capn Jack's.. I wasn't that impressed, although I did like the spinach dip :)  After, we stopped for the bird show outside of the Rainforest Cafe.

After the bird show, we headed back over to Hollywood Studios to ride Toy Story.  It started raining pretty good on our way there, so Brian, Kaitlin and I went to HS while M/D and little B headed back to the room.  Burke and Dad napped :)  Since we are all roller coaster riders, we rode toy story mania, rockin' rollercoaster and tower of terror and totally loved them all!  We had a little wait at Rockin' Rollercoaster, but enjoyed a great conversation with some people from Bristol!  After our rides, we headed back to the hotel.  We got back in time to give Burke a bath, because night time baths were not happening..


That evening, we headed back to Hollywood Studios for dinner and some more rides.. Burke was ready before anyone else.. I think he was excited :)

We ate dinner at 50's Primetime Cafe.  It may have been one of my favorite meals all week.  I had the fried chicken.. I wish I had taken pictures of it.. It was literally half a chicken worth of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and green  beans.. DELICIOUS!  After dinner, food coma came on and we all walked around wishing we had controlled ourselves :)  We didn't end up riding too many things.. Yes, we did ride Tower of Terror again and headed back to the room kind of early..

You will soon notice (if you haven't already) that this trip seemed to revolve around food.. But we do love to eat, what can I say?
