Day Seven: Wednesday July 25, 2012
If this day had a title it would appropriately be: Logan and his ladies
I know Disney is all about fun, and cramming and hitting the parks. But sometimes a nice day of relaxation is in order. After all we are on vacation right. Which is why we had decided to make this day a somewhat down day. We slept in, not caring that we woke at 9. We ate breakfast and enjoyed the morning on the balcony.
The view...
And we did not care that we weren't making a mad dash for the buses to go to a park. Instead we made our way to the buses and waited for the Downtown Disney one. Now let me say, my son as by now I am sure you can tell is obviously caring. But he is also quite the charmer. He loves the ladies...especially if they are older. As we reached the bus stop we sat across from three girls, all of whom were in their mid twenties. They sat talking and Logan began to smile. Tugging at my hand he whispered 'mommy, who are they?' I told him I didn't know but I bet if he waved they would wave back...to which he told me he couldn't, he was too shy...then asked if I would do it for him, and blow them a kiss and say it was from him. Because he was too shy. Umm yeah somehow I really didn't believe this. Really this kid blows kisses and just about flirts with girlies on a daily basis. Still he would not. He watched and hid behind me and smiled at them. And when they got on the bus??? He finally was ready to say something.
'Hey where the pretty girlies go? I wanted to talk to them?'' The intern taking surveys just about died and told him, that made his morning...
Our bus came then and we hopped on. We were on our way to do a little shopping. We picked up some souvenirs at the World of Disney, Logan picking out a couple of things for his cousin back home, Anderson and I grabbed a couple of things as well, though this year we actually did pretty good in the whole not going absolutely crazy. When we stepped out, the midday heat was high and mighty. And Logan was saying he was hungry. And since we had yet to hit up my favorite sandwich place, it was dif time for Earl....Andy went in to get the food, giving little man the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the July heat in Florida, and the fun water fountains...
Obviously this kid is not having any fun at all....clearly.
After lunch we hit the Christmas store, picking out this years annual ornament before making our way back home. On the bus, two sisters sat across from Logan who got over his whole shy act and flirted with these girls the entire ride. Seriously, and they ate it up. The teenage girl especially. He just beamed. He even knows how to win a girl over. He said 'Hi my names Logan and I have a big truck at home.' Yep a way to win a girl is to have transportation. Right on little man right on.
As DVC members we had always been invited to do the whole Welcome Home Wednesday. And we always turn it down. Mainly because of time. But since we were staying at BW, we really had no excuse and we figured we would at least do it once.
Well let me say, I can see why we skip it. Apparently they are doing a new format, and neither Andy nor I really enjoyed it. Neither did Logan who for the first time, and actually the only time during our trip acted like his full 3 year old self...we were glad we did it just so we could see what it was about but for us, it really wasn't what we thought and will dif not be rushing back anytime soon..
But the event killed time in the afternoon, and the relaxing day meant all three of us where ready for some evening fun. And so we headed back to the room, got ready and once again made our way to EPCOT. Dinner was at Garden Grille tonight.
Of course we could not get away with going to EPCOT and dinner without riding Nemo...I think Andy began to hate the ride by now. We quickly rushed our way through the ride, before making our way over to the restaurant. This was a place we booked, then debated cancelling, then kept and said well we could always cancel it later and ultimitely kept it. Its not that we didn't want to go. We had been there before and it had always been a good meal. But with Logan's antics at the party, we didn't know if he was actually going to put up with things. Dinner was actually really good. The same sort of concept as Liberty Tree, but with our allergies we all got different plates. Logan loved the fact that it moved..but the sweet potato fries, not so much. Thankfully the fruit he was offered was gone in a matter of moments. Yes a kid that doesn't touch fries but will inhale fruits and veggies....and a bonus, he even got bread he was given the ok to eat...double score for him!
Mommy and Logan waiting for the characters..
Favorite character pic of the bunch!!
That was some good food daddy!!
Logan was so wound up that we decided to stick around for the evening. We made it through the line of Norway, which I was a little iffy about thinking it was way to scary for him. But once again he decided to get his convo on with a young teacher from Richmond VA. They walked through the line together and she never once ventured off of their convo, he told her about his truck and how he is learning to swim. And when we got on the ride, and she asked 'How you doing Logan...'
His response?? 'I am good. I got this girl.' Totally making her brother, their mother and Andy and I crack up....
But he was not done. Oh no, we parked for Illuminations beside a family with a set of twin five year old girls. And the girl loved his ear plugs, so much so that they sat watching the show holding hands. And she had obviously seen this, as she told him when to look her and look there and that it was ok to take off the ear plugs. And in return he shared his glow sticks and bracelets...young love in the making...
Ah yes, he has the girlies, wrapped around his finger...
