Disney World: Day 11, part 4- Be Our Guest again

While we were in line for Rapunzel and Cinderella Doug texted me and told me to get back over to Be Our Guest as quickly as we could. 

He also texted Melinda to come back over. 

So, as soon as we were done with our meet we went straight there. 

It turned out that when Doug went to get in line the cast member was turning away people saying there was no way you would get in unless you wanted to wait in line until about 1 and maybe still not get in. They even had the main line area roped off I guess. 

We couldn't wait that long but Doug decided to stick around a little bit longer just in case. He just kind of hung out by the rope area and talked to the cast members. 

The line started to get smaller faster than they expected and they said to Doug and a few other people go ahead, get in line. 

By the time we got over to meet him Melinda and Lizzie were already there (her family were still doing the things the boys wanted to do so it would just be the two of them with us again) and they were partway down the bridge. 

The girls were excited to see her again and we all settled in for our wait.

 

After about 5-10 minutes we were getting a little closer to the end of the bridge. 

There was a little Ring around the Rosy going on. 

I was worried that the girls would not be happy about such a long wait when they were hungry but they were all having a great time and it didn't bother them a bit. 

At about 20 minutes we were here...

And about 5-10 minutes later....

We were getting in!

Woo hoo!

We had 2 adult counter service meals left but a few snacks. 

So, since Doug had found out that you could get the french onion soup with a snack credit, he said that is what he wanted to get for lunch and that Abi should use one of the snack credits since she wanted the sandwich that I had ordered our last time here. 

We got up to the kiosks and ordered and then went to sit down. 

This time we sat in the room that we called the Music Box Room. 

We were excited that not only did we get to eat here again but that we would have eaten in all 3 rooms. 

Abi got the turkey sandwich and fries and a Sprite for her drink. 

For her dessert she got an eclair but she was too full for it so Doug ate that.

I got the braised pork that my parents and Doug had ordered on our last lunch and I loved it. It was so good. And I thought it was mashed potatoes with it but someone told me it was actually mashed cauliflower. It was delicious. 

I got a Diet coke to drink and the wonderful Master's cupcake for dessert. 

Melinda got a sandwich and fries and Lizzie got the tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwich. 

Huge sandwich! (and, no, she couldn't eat the whole thing.)

Maddy only wanted fries and a Sprite so that's what we got her. 

I know. Not a great lunch. Oh well. 

We were able to use 2 snack credits for this. 

Doug loved his soup!

It was so much fun to eat here again and just hang out together for awhile. 

Before we left I walked around the room taking some pictures of my favorite paintings on the walls. 

Soon we had full bellies and had rested enough. It was time to get back out to the park. 

Goodbye Be Our Guest! 

We will miss you. 

Disney World: Day Ten, part 5- Chef Mickey's

Leaving Epcot we had about an hour and a half until our reservation for dinner. We wanted to leave that much time since we knew we would be taking two monorails to get there. We were so lucky we did. 

We rode the monorail from Epcot (had a little bit of a wait but not too bad) back over to the TTC and then got in line for the monorail that goes to the Contemporary resort. 

We were about halfway up the ramp when the line stopped and we were stuck there for about 40 minutes. 

Finally the line started moving.. but slowly. 

Apparently a monorail had broken down on the way around.

We finally got on one and started toward the contemporary. 

And then we got stuck.

After a while (15-20 minutes) it started moving again. 

Everyone was so relieved.

And then we stopped again. 

This time for probably about 20 minutes. 

FINALLY it got going again and this time we made it all the way to the resort. 

We got to Chef Mickey's with just minutes to spare before our reservation. 

Doug went to check in while I took the girls to the bathroom to change their clothes. 

They took our picture.

We got a nice window table. 

I don't remember why Maddy was sad. 

Oh- that's right. It was because she wasn't sad. She was pretending. Goof ball.

Our waitress told us we could go get our food and the characters would be coming by soon. 

It was really hard to go get food because I would leave the table to go get it and then I would see someone was coming toward our table and run back so we wouldn't have to wait for them again. 

In fact, Maddy and I did miss Goofy when he first came by. 

We pretty much got a little of everything that looked okay and then ate about a fourth of it. 

It was okay but not great. 

I don't know if it was an off day or what but the last time we were here for dinner it was much better. 

Donald came by next. 

Then Mickey

Pluto

The girls' favorite part of the place was the never ending soft serve bar. 

Minnie was next. 

And then we waited around for Goofy to come back. 

Our waitress was really nice but we never saw her. We had to hunt her down to ask for our bill (it just was a statement since this was paid on the dining plan) . 

The place seemed more chaotic than usual. 

Someone puked in the food line right before we left. 

You could say it wasn't our favorite meal experience of the trip.

I felt bad since we had changed our Epcot dining plans to this tonight because it was Doug's favorite last time and this time when we left he said he didn't care if we ever ate there again. 

Plus if you are not on the dining plan- this was our most expensive meal of the trip. So, if we had been paying out of pocket we would not have been happy.

When we finally got out of there it was after 9:30 and we were all tired and ready for bed!

We did stop to look at the Gingerbread creations though.

So cute. 

We went to get back on the monorail. 

Luckily this time there were no issues with it and we were soon at Magic Kingdom to catch our bus to Pop. 

It was, however, really crowded so it took a while to get a bus. 

Once we were on one and sitting down, both girls fell asleep on us within seconds. 

By the time we were back at Pop it was 11pm.

Doug took the girls back to the room to get them in bed while I went into the store to pick up some packages we had delivered. 

Then when I got to the room I started packing knowing we would need to leave our luggage with the luggage service the next morning before getting over to Magic Kingdom for our last day. 

I couldn't do anymore by 1am and decided to finish in the morning and I crashed.
