Highlights: Contempo Cafe, Fishing, Typhoon Lagoon, Maya Grill
We woke today and headed to the Contemporary Resort. We had a fishing reservation but had to eat breakfast first. My family doesn't miss a meal. We went to the Contemporary Cafe (annoyed they didn't ac
cept our Tables in Wonderland card) and I had waffles with caramel and bananas. Delicious! Then we went outside to the marina to wait for our boats. TK, CG, and I started chatting with one of the guides and we knew she wanted to hang with us and not the older folks. So we boarded our boats and let the challenge begin ... parents vs. kids. The trip was fun because our guide was a down-to-earth professional angler and I pet a wild bird who hung out on our boat for a little bit. We ended up not actually winning but, I am not sure if my Mom counted the turtle she hooked as a fish. Poor thing ...

Poor thing ...After fishing, TK and CG headed back to the resort, and the rest of us headed to Typhoon Lagoon. By this time, the park was packed and hot. We started out by scoping out a spot and then we hit the lazy river. I asked a cast member where I could find an opening to the river and after I got my answer, he sprayed me with his water bottle. Funny way to flirt with a married woman that was dressed like a lifeguard but, whatever works for you. The lazy river was fun, but definitely not laz
y. UG was pushing me under waterfalls and Dad was spinning me around and bumping me into Mom. After all that laziness, I was starving so Mom and I went to grab some lunch. I had a yummy chicken wrap and skipped the fries. Then we headed into the wave pool for a bit. My Dad loves it and UG always swims way too far in. I, on the other hand, always get punched when I duck under the waves. When we had enough, we decided to hit the Crush N Gusher and then head out. Dad, UG, and I went to wait in line and picked up a three-person tube on the way up. When we got up to the top the cast member told us to get in the tube with the lightest in the front and the heaviest in the back and after that, we knew we were going to fly through the ride. And, we did. I thought we were going to tip over at every turn, but had a great time. It was Dad's first time on it and he loved it. We then reconvened with everyone else at the lockers and left the park.

I went up to the room and got ready for dinner. We had a reservation at the Maya Grill in Coronado Springs. We all got dressed and headed to Downtown Disney to catch a bus to Coronado Springs. TK and CG got to Coronado Springs before we did because there were a few too many stops to bear before we got there. I had the Caesar salad to start and it was like a romaine heart with dressing. It was one of the best salads I have ever had. Then I had a seafood platter and the Churro dessert with vanilla ice cream. Everything was good but the salad was the highlight. After dinner, we headed back to the resort to relax and get ready for the day to follow. Tomorrow is our spa day ...
