Went to the rooms, one was not cleaned.reported it. Went to RFC in DNTWN Disney, met my baby brother,wife, and two kids for dinner. We had a great time. Took the bus back to POFQ. Room not made up yet. After two phone calls, and an in person visit to the lobby two Mousekeepers were sent, and they did an awesome job.

Went back to resort, changed, and went to the Boardwalk and ate at Kouzzina for dinner. It was excellent, everyone agreed. My surprise for my dtr and grdtr was a pontoon boat ride for Illuminations. Another Disney family from Massachusetts joined us, and our boat captain Cindy was also from MA, how lucky were we? If you have never the done the boat tour and Illuminations, you should try.
