Ft Wilderness and Epcot

It was a gorgeous day in Disney with temperatures in the 70s. Bill went to the Trails End for our free coffee, and we sat outside enjoying the lovely weather. Last night while I was down watching the fireworks, Bill heard a loud noise that shook the RV. When he went outside, the awning over the slideout had sprung. So this morning when the RV repair guy was next door, we asked him to come take a look and see what he could do. Judy (the lady with all the lights on our loop) rode by in her golf cart and stopped to chat. She diagnosed a broken spring. She said these RV guys were good and reputable. So we hung out and waited. The guy took one look and said “spring”, but he didn’t have the right spring. We are going to get the spring and a new awning replaced as soon as they get the parts.

Bill rode down to the main check-in area on his bike. I stayed here and labeled photos, a never-ending job. At 5 we drove over to Epcot to hang out until our 7:30 reservations at China’s Nine Dragon restaurant. It was fairly crowded, and there really wasn’t anything we wanted to do, so we checked in early and were seated. It is a strange restaurant – a sitdown, higher end, restaurant. The service was excellent, but the food was strangely mediocre and the service rushed. Bill had hot and sour soup, and the fried rice entrée with shrimp. I just had two appetizers: summer rolls and shrimp and taro. Our waiter was really nice. He was from Beijing and has been here for 10 months. He has only worked at this restaurant for 2 weeks. The rest of his time he worked the fast food counter outside. We did get a dessert to share (even though Chinese don’t really eat dessert) called Banana Cheesecake Eggroll. Now this was good! It was a large eggroll filled with a banana cream, drizzled with caramel sauce and served with caramel ginger ice cream!
