Blizzard Beach

With the sun out it was time to tackle the water parks, of course being a Sunday and only the second day of sun in over a week, it made for a busy day at Blizzard Beach.

The highlight of the park is the 120 ft Summit Plummet, Angela and I braved the wait and the drop and did it once, reaching speeds of 51 mph.

We had to keep an eye on the time as we had to get back to the hotel to change and head off to the Hoop Dee Doo Revue for dinner.

Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue

Our final big dinner was the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue at the Fort Wilderness Campground and Resort. Heading from the Outpost to the Settlement on a Disney bus.

Angela and Claudia  

We caught the early show at 5:00pm. The chef came and visited us when we sat down and told us everything on the menu was okay for the girls.

Menu

Included in the price were the bandanas.

The girls

Our seats were on the first floor and at the back. They were good because the table and chairs were higher then the rest of the tables.

The stage

The girls howling over something, it could have been when the waitress brought me half a pitcher of beer and left it on the table for me.
