Day 2 - We thought we were in the clear today of the rain. This is a picture from Friday's afternoon at the Magic Kingdom. Overall we had a good day. We started off in Epcot and rode Soarin' ...only a 20 minute wait. We walked to the Boardwalk and had lunch at ESPN which was good once again. We walked back to the car and headed to the outlet store. We didn't find much of anything. We then headed back to the lodge to go for a swim. We had a few drinks at the pool bar and relaxed by the pool and hottub. We then got ready for dinner and went to Yachtsman Steakhouse. We have only been twice...once good and once bad. This was another good. The food was great. The only complaint was they had an air conditioning issue and it got really warm fast. After dinner we headed to Epcot to see Illuminations and this is when it went downhill. Our first clue should have been that the pools were closed for inclement weather. We made it to Italy and then we met some nice cast members who hooked us up with VIP seating for Illuminations. As we headed back to England for the viewing it started to rain. We ducked in under Japan's building overhang and this is where we spent the next hour and a half. We met a nice couple from Texas but it POURED, there was very vivid lightening and tons of thunder. At approximately 8:30 they canceled Illuminations and the rain let up so we could walk back to the Beach Club to get our car. Or so we thought.... The pathway from Epcot to the Beach Club was flooded. The water had to be at least a foot deep and it was the funniest thing I have ever seen here. Tons of people wading through the water to get to the other side. We were smart and just waited for the boat. We tried to take picutres but it was too dark out. Kevin had it right.... TYPHOON!
Overall we just love vacationing here!!!
