Today we drove down to Disney World where we will stay for the next couple of days to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We checked in to the All Star Music Resort a little after noontime and visited with some family, had some lunch and then got ready to go to Epcot for the Dessert reception that we were having in Italy. This would be a casual reception with tasty treats and access to great views of the fireworks and lights show.
We thought that we would hop over to Epcot and then get our park passes at Guest Services and then ride the monorail. Well, we got the park passes pretty easily but then we found out that the monorail was not running from EPCOT at the moment. We debated hopping over tot he transportation center and then getting a monorail but then getting back in time for the reception would become an issue. So we stayed there and waited.
It got cold. I had left my sweatshirt at my in-laws in their front hall closet so I only had a t-shirt and I was cold. When they finally came and walked us from the front entrance over to the Italy pavilion I was scanning the route to see if there was a sweatshirt or something I could buy. I noticed one and when we got into our private area we were allowed to leave to use the bathroom. I used that opportunity to double back and buy a sweatshirt that I would probably end up wearing the entire rest of the trip. It was good to finally got a bit warmer because one of the treats was a double dipped Mickey Ice Cream Bar with heath bar crunches on it. That was very tasty. There were lots of great things to enjoy and Andy had all of them.
When the fireworks began I noticed that there was a woman signing the music as the show went on and let Eva know so that she could watch that as she also watched the fireworks and lights. It was a fantastic show!
