Day 8 WDW

It's our 10 year anniversary and we had something special planned this morning. Greg and I had reservations for a Wilderness Backtrail Adventure. When I called for the reservation, the lady told us to meet at 8:15am for our 8:30 tour behind Mickey's backyard BBQ. I even wrote it on my paper with the confirmation # and everything. Greg and I set off early to catch the bus there. We got there a bit early and there were people setting up for the ironman competition this weekend, but we didn't see anyone with segways, nor did we see anyone else that looked like us. They were all working. At 8:15, we were getting a little nervous because we still couldn't see where we needed to go. I called the reservation line to ask and the operator said to meet at the bike barn which was several bus stops away. By this time I was very worried that we wouldn't make it and we wouldn't get our money back. We went to the bus stop and waited, and waited, and waited for our bus to come. Finally it came, we got to the bike barn a few minutes after 8:30, and it looked like the group was waiting on us. We signed our lives away releasing Disney from any liability should we manage to kill or dismember ourselves, then we were on our way.


Once you got past the initial fear of falling off the segway - which I think is darn near impossible, this was the best ride of all. We had a lot of fun on this trip. It was about an hour and 45 minutes of trails from Fort Wilderness to the Wilderness Lodge and back. I'd definitely recommend this for anyone looking for something extra to do outside the parks.

Later we caught up with Joan and Addison and decided to check out their big pool here. It's supposed to have a kid's water feature with fountains and all that jazz, but unfortunately it was under construction, so we were just limited to the pool even though I'm sure Addison would have gotten a kick out of it.

Aunt Patty came while we were at the pool, so we came back to the cabin. While they all napped, Greg and I took the opportunity to go shopping some more. After we got back we were going to head to Epcot, but it looked like rain in the distance so we went to Downtown Disney again. We ate at a restaurant called T-Rex which was very loud but the food was decent. They have tons of dinosaurs moving around and every 20 minutes the lights dim and there is a meteor shower. It's very loud and busy, but like Patty said, it's a good restaurant to bring your kids to because you cant tell one kid's yelling or acting out over anothers. Addison played at the Lego store for awhile and then I took her over to ride the carousel three times.
