We had BIG HUGE Plans for our last day. We intend to enter every single park, between the end of our breakfast and before the NYE pre-fireworks at MK.
We had KONA planned, EPCOT (needed to do the WS and Japan), pop over for the parade in Animal Kingdom, run in DHS to say we "did" it (and grab FP for Star Tours one more time) then head to MK to find a spot for the late fire works.
Im tired just thinking about it!
So we get up about 830. Our reservations are for 1015 at Kona. Definatly the most dragging morning we've had. No one wants to move at all. The promise of Kona coffee is what makes DH and I keeping moving feet.
We take the bus to MK and get on the resort monorail, and arrive at the Poly in no time. We check in, and are seated in minutes. First order of business - PRESSED POT PLEASE! Since we are on the DP, the two of us can share it for our drink. OMG. Nectar from heaven.
The girls order hot chocolate. It looks good and they LOVE it. Has a ton of whipped cream on it.
DH and DD11 order the Big Kahuna.
DD7 says she wants french toast.
I attempted to order the macadamia nut pancakes. However, I am so tired I point to my hubby and say I just want the "pancakes"
I get regular pancakes. I looked at them and asked the waitress about the pineapple and nuts? And she said, oohh you said "just the pancakes"
She's right, I did. I said, oh you are right, I'm sorry. She asks if I want her to fix it and I told her no, that it was my fault, but I felt tears in my eyes.
TEARS????! WhAt the heck! I think it was b/c I was exhausted, but for some reason ordering the wrong pancakes made me cry.
DH looked at me with that one-eyebrow-raised-who-are-you-what-have-you-done-with-my-wife look, and asked if I was ok. I dried it up and said, yeah. He said, I think we might be a weeee bit overtired (you think?). He cuts his pancakes in half, and so does DD11 and they are moving it to a plate so I can have some (yeah, I love those two). They knew how much I had been looking forward to them, when about that time the waitress shows up with a fresh order of macadamia nut pancakes. and I tear up again!!!
Im such a sap. She says "Sweetie, these are way different, and people should get want they want on vacation" (so yeah, she got a good tip)
They were as good as I hoped!
For the record, the plain pancakes are great too. I ate a few bites before I got these.
Kona was a great breakfast. I would book again in a heart beat.
We settled up the bill, and hubby said, ok, that was awesome, and I know we have a lot planned, but I say we all need a nap. With out one complaint from any of his girls, we nodded, and loaded up on the monorail and went back to MK, then to POFQ and were back in bed by noon. Set an alarm to get up in time to make the parade at AK. We could still pull off our plan for WDW domination, even with this nap.
Or could we?
