This was another reason we were happy to have our car -- we were able to just hop in the car and drive to the Disney Beach Club Resort. Had we not had our car we would have had to get on the bus to a random park and then hop on a bus to the Beach Club since the buses don't go from hotel to hotel.
Henry and "McDonald" Duck.
Goofy spent quite a bit of time at our table. I think this is the most adorable picture. Goofy looks infatuated with Henry.
Goofy even took the time to find out where we were from. Once he found out we lived in Michigan, he wanted to let us know that he was a big fan of Bronner's (the world's largest Christmas store in Frankenmuth)
After breakfast we headed back to Magic Kingdom.
We did stuff like Pirates of the Caribbean (Henry was surprisingly not scared), Country Bear Jamboree (one of the bears' names is Henry!), and then had lunch at Columbia Harbour House.
Captain Henry Sparrow with his spoils from the 'Pirates' ride.
The highlight of the day was meeting up with my aunt, uncle and cousins for dinner at the Fort Wilderness Lodge. My uncle Dana's favorite place is the Trail's End buffet, so that's where we went.
It was kind of complex getting there. We drove our car to the lodge and then had to take a bus back to the restaurant (inside the grounds of the lodge).
It had been years and years since I've seen my cousins, so it was great catching up.
This is my cousin Laura's daugher, Alyssa, and Henry. She was so sweet and brought him a matching hat :) He loved it!
My aunt Connie works at the 'Bippidi Boppidi Boutique' in the Magic Kingdom. God bless her. She spends her days making little girls look like princesses. Unfortunately, she runs across girls who act like princesses, too. And not in a good way. She is the reason we were able to take this vacation for the amazing price that we paid. She gets a Cast Member discount, which she generously shared with us for our hotel and park tickets.
Dustin, Me, Henry, Aunt Connie, Uncle Dana, my cousin Kevin, my cousin Laura and Alyssa. Laura's husband Josh was present for half of the dinner, but it's a LONG and complicated story about why he left half-way through. I'm still not sure I understand it all.
The food was great, though. Ribs, baked potatoes, salads, baked beans.. all the 'wilderness' food you'd expect. I thought this was the best restaurant buffet we had the whole time. It was at least tied for first with the Cape May breakfast buffet.
After riding the bus back to the parking lot, we chatted with Dana, Connie and Kevin for a bit and then headed back to the hotel to go for a nighttime swim before bed.
