Disney Day 9 - Boardwalk Baby

We wake up early, check out of CBR and head over to The Boardwalk. Since we cannot check in yet, we leave our packed up car and walk to Epcot from the Boardwalk. Just over the bridge...nice and easy :)
We get Epcot and enter between France and United Kingdom. If anyone recalls, UK is one of our faves :)
Look how gorgeously blue the sky is?!


Here is The Rose and Crown...to the right of the red phone booth is where we get the fish and chips...to the left is where we go into the pub for the goodness :) haha



I immediately ran to The Land to get my fast pass for Soarin'... on the way I got a free set of mickey "year of a million dreams" ears! I was SOOOO excited... I wished Tim and Ty were with me. I got my fast pass, the standby line was already at a 2 hour wait...and here it was morning, and I was due back for my fast pass at 5:00! I was hoping that it was worth it! haha It must be, right?
Here is the monorail...we still got excited everytime we saw one! Tyler LOVED it!

We were on our way to Mexico for lunch...TyTy was hungry, and it was really HOT. Canada is in the background...

MY EARS! Ty would not wear them and you really had to twist my arm to wear them! haha

We had lunch in Mexico, it was really good...however the chips were not authentic...they were more like tostitos... hmmm
I had a refreshing margarita! Frozen, no salt... I normally go, on the rocks with no salt...however, it was hot and I wanted it to last long. haha Ty and I went on the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros inside Epcot's Mexico Pavilion...it was much like A Small World, with new movies... Donald Duck is adorable.
Ty really liked it...
After we rode, we went back to check into the Boardwalk...
Gorgeous landscaping is everywhere...

The Beach and Yacht Club is facing The Boardwalk...It looks like a fun place to stay...

Inside one of the patios at the resort...you can see the boardwalk in the background...just gorgeous and fun...

Here is the main carnival pool... I think they are refurbishing this...but it was really cute!

After we settled in, we got our suits on and went swimming. Tim got on the Clown waterslide. The lifeguard made hand balloons for the kids at the pool...we met a nice man and his kids... he was giving us all this info about DVC. He was literally staying at Disney for 3 weeks! Can you imagine! we had a blast... When we were done, we went back to the room and rested a bit...got showers and we went back to Epcot...we could walk, remember :)
I ran and did my Soarin' ride which was INCREDIBLE!
I really felt like I was flying... just amazing.
Worth the wait, well for those who didn't have a fast pass... I waited maybe 10 minutes... and most of that was walking.
When I got back and met Tim and Tyler, we saw that we arrived JUST in time for the tree lighting!
The car rode right by us!

Singing

Amazing!

Ty had an excellent view!

The characters put on a WHOLE show, just to light the tree... just wonderful... it really gets you in the spirit.
When they were finished, they walked right by us :)

All of the lights and decorations were so elaborate. Breathtaking really...



To be continued...
