JULY 26
I was fighting some kind of flu since Michigan and this day I was very sick. I slept in and we headed to the Swan buffet down stairs at Garden Grove. The atmosphere was great but the food was your typical overcooked or cold stuff with little flavor. After we paid $62 for 3 of us to eat an unsatisfying breakfast I was glad we would soon be saving that money each day eating in the concierge lounge of the Polynesian.
We headed off to MGM again and since I had a fever already the heat was not helping. We watched the Stunt 
show since we had not seen it during any of the other visits. I thought it was good but I could have done a better job on the Jet Ski. Think they will hire me? Kai had some fun in the H.I.S.T.K. playground and was excited to take his picture with June from the Little Einsteins and Jo Jo.
On our way back a few people were discussing how slow the boat was and so I had to laugh.
We went over to the Grotto Pool that the Swan and Dolphin share and it is a great pool but talk about a walk. I could walk to the Grand Floridian pool from our room at the Polynesian in the distance it takes to get to the Grotto Pool. We got back from the pool about 5:00 and they were just coming to clean our room that we had been out of all day. We had to go back down to the lobby and sit in wet clothes waiting for them to do our room. We also needed to get ready for a reservation at Alfredo’s in Italy.
We had dinner at Alfredo’s since it was going to close and it was great as always. We will miss it. After dinner we went to Mexico to ride on the new ride. I like what they did with it. They did a nice job adding new stuff and using some of the old things.
After that we headed to ride Nemo and Friends. Seeing the Living Seas made me realize how much I still needed to do to get ready for the party and I was so nervous about it being fun for everyone.
It was extra magic hour at Epcot that night. After stopping at England for a beer it was back to the room for me to go to bed. I was hungry by then but there was no place to eat late at night except Picabu over at the Dolphin. I am so used to having Captain Cook’s all night but as we discovered the only places in WDW that has all night dining are the Polynesian and the Wilderness Lodge. Tara and Darby went out to look for something for me to eat but they only found the Muffin Man and he was not sharing his muffins but we won’t get into that story!!!
On the walk back I saw the inflatable screen used for movies on the beach at the Beach Club. This is the same thing they do at the Polynesian on special nights. There was a schedule for the movies at the Polynesian at concierge but it had expired a few days before and the new one was not out yet. I am trying to get a copy and I will post it in the updates if I do. This is run by the recreation department and is some what random.
This night they were playing the Finding Nemo DVD.
