We were allowed to take pictures of the bears at the end
Why oh why was there blood on the ground? And why was it a puddle of blood? Mom and I were HOWLING! We couldnt stop laughing, one of those make your stomach hurt laughs, it was great!
We learned from another guest a couple days later that the voice of this bear was doing a parody of one of his own songs. That is just too funny.
Onward to our destination
One of my very favorite rides!
It was a walk on with the FP+ and a 45 minute doing standby. I was loving the MBs!
Adored the ride as usual, wished we could go again but theres no way I was waiting in the standby line. We noticed this weather vane that neither of us had seen before. This is why I love Disney so much, there are details everywhere, details you dont need but are there just the same.
We stopped in at the Tangled bathrooms
They are so cute. Again, the attention to detail I love. They painted the ceiling like Rapunzel did in the tower, and had cute props on the shelves, like paint cans or something like that. The door stalls looked like they were wood and old fashioned. Yes, I thought about whipping out the camera for some photos but there were too many people in there and I felt weird about it.
Then we were off to a scary ride in the Haunted Mansion. I sat on the other side of the Doom buggy than I usually do and saw tons of creepy details that Id never seen before. That ride is so creepy!
Then we were off to Epcot for our dinner at Les Chefs de France. We had an 8:10 ADR and started heading that way at 6:20, we didnt want to rush. We had cut through the shops on Main Street and at one point we emerged right in time to see the castle lights being turned on. Talk about a magic moment. Of course I didnt lift up the camera for a picture
Then to the monorail and on Epcot. We stopped in here for some refreshments before heading to dinner. They had changed their offerings, it was fun to try different drinks.
We meandered in a shop for a little bit, looking at chocolates and Christmas ornaments, and then were here at 7:45.
There were tons of people waiting, we still had to wait but got in a little earlier than our ADR time which was nice.
Mom had been looking forward to this meal for months. Me too, but not as much as mom. We had eaten here on a previous trip and she says the French onion soup is one of the best shes ever had, the crème brulee too.
Moms French onion soup
My ordinary salad
Mom had the tomato and goat cheese pizza as her entrée. It is truly amazing, they drizzle some olive oil and balsamic vinegar on top, and the crust is out of this world delicious. Next time Ill get this as my entrée.
Not that my macaroni was not good, on the contrary, it was amazing as well, but quite heavy. Even so, I managed to finish every single noodle. I shared some with mom and she gave me a little bit of the pizza.
I skipped dessert but you already know mom had the crème brulee
Our dinner was excellent. The service was fabulous and the food out of this world. We will be back, mom has dubbed this one of her favorites in all the World.
We didnt linger in Epcot even though there were EMHs until 11:00. We had originally thought we might do Soarin! after dinner but werent quite up for it. I thought there would be a bus to the GF which would be more direct than having to change monorails at the TTC but I was wrong. We had to backtrack to the monorail. It didnt take long though and we were back to the GF shortly after 10:00.
We noticed Peter, Wendy, and the boys in the floor, easy to miss if youre not paying attention.
And then back over to the villas.
We went over to the concierge area to look for my groceries only to find no CMs and a guest literally yelling in the phone that somebody better get over to the villas and check her in. If they didnt and she had to go back over to the main building theyd be sorry. She threatened to turn her car alarm in front of the villas and then did so. Her poor daughter was sitting next to her looking tired and embarrassed. This woman was off the deep end. We decided not to wait around and head up to the room. We just figured that the CM on duty had gone to the bathroom at the wrong time but when we called about the groceries we were told that nobody is on duty after 10:00 pm. Really? What if I needed toilet paper in the middle of the night? They offered to send bell services over and I just said Id wait until the morning to get my groceries. They told me concierge opened again at 7:00 am so Id call down when I woke up.
I journaled until I could no longer keep my eyes open and then went to sleep at 11:20. It had been a glorious first day of vacation.
what a treat.
thanks for coming over 
I just started, and it's here when you have time, no worries.
we had a lot of fun with it too, such a great addition to the park. We were mostly in line with other adults which was cute. 
Next time we stay at BLT I will order from there. Saves us stopping in the store on the concourse and lugging the bags to our room as we used to do.
