Slower day–in the best kind of way!

Oh the weather outside….

Rainy, but thankfully warmish.

Kelly and I were up by 7AM so I could have her out the door early.  I dropped her at 8:40AM at Animal Kingdom.  I stopped at Walmart to buy some more lunch meat and protein bars and Coca~Cola.  We’d be enjoying our treats so much we decided we’d pack a lunch every day.

Marie did her apologetics homework.

Katriel and Tab both took luxurious baths in the giant master bathtub.

Then three of them went for a swim.  It wasn’t hot-hot, but it was muggy and the pool came with free heat!

Around 3:30PM we headed over to Animal Kingdom to pick up Kelly and we headed over to Wilderness Lodge for our dinner at Artist Point.

I didn’t tell the girls until a few hours before; I didn’t know if we were going to keep it until the night before.

The dinner was everything we hoped it would be.

The food was delicious and the characters were delightful!!

When we lined up to meet the Evil Queen we met another Johanna.  She pronounces her name the same way as our Johanna, and they were both wearing purple glasses and had their hair up in buns.  Both of them beamed!

The queen was excellent.  She was somewhat scary, to be honest!

Katriel asked her why she used an apple to poison Snow White and she said she didn’t know what Katriel was talking about, and that she’d never do such a thing.  How she stays in character is unbelievable!

Dessert was amazing. 
I ate the purple one first imagining it would be nasty-sweet.  It was not.  It was scrumptious. The little green one is Gooseberry Pie – like in the movie.  The little apple is a truffle.  And it was all so good.  Everyone got one of each.

We had enough Disney reward dollars to pay for this.  If we hadn’t gone here, we could have five or six lunches in the parks, but it was worth the fun experience.

We poked around Wilderness Lodge more, yet they didn’t have much out yet for decorations.

From there we headed to Animal Kingdom Lodge, but they had no decorations out yet.  We did visit with a docent (?) preparing to hold a teaching session.
