A Full Sunday Afternoon!
After the water park our next item on the agenda was doing a photoshoot with the other girls who had done the races. However, we had about an hour before we had to leave for that, so I took that time to walk around AoA and take pictures. DH decided to take a nap. So here comes some picture overload! I didn't have enough time to really walk through the Cars section, as you'll see. But we had plenty of pictures from that area from when we did our 2nd anniversary photo shoot in August.
You can also get a pretty good view of POP from here - we haven't been there yet but are staying there next February!
There is a walking path that goes behind some of the buildings, and one of the really cool things is that all along the path there are signs with "fun facts" on them about the movies featured at AoA. Here's an example of one:
Then it was time for our photo shoot! We were heading over to All Star Sports for a photo shoot with David and Vicki Arndt, who do a lot of Disney Weddings and also were the ones that did our incredible anniversary pics! (Go check out the Aug. 2013 TR if you want to see those!). They are seriously the best. And if you remember that the way I met all of these girls was through a Disney brides group, this probably makes a little more sense.
There were six girls there that ran the races, and it was run to catch up with them (or meet some of them for the first time!) and just hang out. We also got lots of cute pictures with our medals and all!
If you are thinking of doing any sort of photoshoot at Disney (family portraits, engagement session, wedding, anniversary, or just because you feel like it!), I can't recommend David and Vicki enough. They take beautiful photos but they are also some of the nicest people we've ever met. Vicki is an absolute sweetheart
If I could go back in time I would need to them do my wedding - even if it wasn't in Disney I would pay to fly them up to NY! That's how great they are.
Then for dinner we went to California Grill to celebrate one of the girl's birthdays, and to celebrate our race accomplishments! It was the first time that DH and I were at Cali Grill and we were excited. Our new Australian friends were there as well!
We had to wait a little bit before being seated, so we went out on the roof area to get a look at the Magic Kingdom. We had timed it so that we would be there during Wishes, but it wasn't time yet.
They brought us to a table covered in confetti for the celebrations! However, the table was way in the back so there would be no way to see Wishes from there. No matter though, we would just get up and go outside when it was time!
Most of us got appetizers and an entree. The appetizers had just arrived when Wishes started and out we went! It was definitely a cool perspective to see Wishes from up there.
The food was fantastic. I'll be putting a detailed dining review up, but we were so impressed with everything we ate. We shared a flatbread, I had the gnocchi and DH had the pork, and then I had to try the sundae sampler dessert. It was pricey of course but absolutely worth it. We loved Cali Grill!
Lucy and Peter drove us back to our resort, and we packed up most of our stuff so we could be ready to switch resorts the next day! And then we got some rest for our Magic Kingdom morning!
I try to slow my pace down for my longer runs too!
And your Chef Mickey's breakfast afterward looked like a blast too - perfect plan for after a race, I think. And fitting in a little fun at Epcot too - VERY full day there! 
Looks like you had a good time though!
