mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Sunday morning came, and we had breakfast reservations at 1900 Park Faire, as we were packing up to check out, we took a few pictures from our balcony This was from outside the room looking down into the restaurant As far as the hotel(s) we were in each of them only one night, and they were both "free" on my IHG Rewards Points. Also because I'm a Platinum member with them, I usually get upgraded rooms, or upgraded to the Executive Level. We had a microwave and fridge in each room, the beds were really comfy and the bathrooms were great. The Holiday Inn LBV does charge $12 for parking, but when we checked out, we mysteriously were not charged. We loaded the truck back up and headed over to the Grand Floridian and valet parked, then inside for breakfast. There used to be a Topiary of Mary Poppins here. Sadly it is gone We were inside the restaurant very soon Breakfast!! Lobster Eggs Benedict, Yummmmm!!! Photo limit, more coming soon :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Some pictures of the buffet Custom omelets After breakfast, Rick did some shopping and I sat on the balcony of the 2nd floor for a bit Then we headed for the Monorail and Magic Kingdom for a little bit of shopping. We couldn't stay long, because we wanted to be on the road back home by 1pm. That update coming soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Looks like a lot more fun than lying in bed with a tablet. Facebook, Fort Fiends, Reading Books, Twitter and games just doesn't cut it for very long. Not even Netflix works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just want to say thanks for all the comments. I'm not much to reply to every comment, but I do appreciate them!!! Continuing on...... When we left off we were heading to the monorail. A few pics to aggravate Lou :) Boy that is a funny looking "tree" More Lou aggravation Handsome fellow Quick ride to the MK They are redoing the canopies over the MK Boat docks Halloween decorations at the Magic Kingdom I stopped in the fire house and got some Sorceror's cards. They have a new rule that you actually have to open a portal before you can get another set of cards, so I cracked open a package and opened a portal, then joined Rick in the Emporium, and we picked up a few things I caught a few minutes of the silly Shake It Move It Parade, or whatever it's called now: Then it was time to go. We had a drive ahead of us and wanted to get back on the road. We decided to take the boat back to the GF. And at the point, the "Magic" severely went out of our trip. We got to the Bell Stand and Grand Floridian, and I couldn't find my breakfast receipt to save my life, so I went back to the restaurant and after some hemming and hawing, finally got a reprint of my receipt with Tables in Wonderland so we wouldn't have to pay the valet parking fee. Then when we got in the truck, it sounded "off" and then all of a sudden the check engine light was on and flashing!!! GRRRRR So we pulled into the Hess station, filled up with gas and ran a Vehicle Health Report. It came back bad..... Cylinder misfiring, but it couldn't tell us the exact cause. Fortunately, AAA Car Care Center is right there, so we had them run a diagnostic, and turned out to be some kind of coil. So two hours and almost $400 later, we were finally on the road home. I'm just thankful they could fix it right then. I was really worried that it would mean an extra night in Orlando, and a visit to a dealer on Monday morning. I'm actually very impressed at the level of service they can provide. I thought they provided just simple stuff, but they are a full service repair shop :) So then about 12 hours later, and after dinner at Golden Corral in Macon, we were back in the driveway and off to bed. Yes, we only had just over 24 hours in the "World", and it was a ridiculously long drive for that small amount of time, but well worth it!!!!! Thanks for reading!!

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 That breakfast looks yummy. Waiting for a boat in the rain would SMB these days. The car trouble also SMB, but at least it was fixed quickly. I think this trip brings Carol closer to Mo on Lou's scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm thinking that "Carol" is a lot closer to "Mo" on the crazy scale than I thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
