Thursday, 2/21 Part 3
When we left off, I just bought a pretzel, and Diane and Caitlin were wandering around Germany doing their Agent P mission. I just went in and out of the shops, and sat by the fountain, taking pictures and feeling so happy to be in the World Showcase on such a beautiful day! It was so pretty out, nice and warm and sunny and bright! Of course, I did feel like I was getting a tiny headache, but I took some Advil and tried to ignore it.
I saw a shirt I considered getting Brandon, I thought it was so cute because Chip and Dale were on it, but I wasn't too sure of the significance of the pickles, I guess they are like the pickles on the Christmas tree? Good luck?
I want this shirt for myself, it's SO adorable, AND it's purple, which is a bonus, I feel like you never see purple Disney shirts:
I didn't buy it though, because I really dislike buying myself Disney shirts in such huge sizes. I always tell myself I'll buy them when I'm skinny. Lame, I should just get one and get over it!
Diane and Caitlin finished their mission, and at some point, Diane got a text that our room at BLT was ready! We were ready to get into our room and unpack and rest a little, so we headed out of Epcot and monorailed back to Bay Lake Tower!
We went right up to our room, walked in and...saw a HUGE floor cleaner just sitting in the middle of the floor! I also thought it smelled like smoke...so I sat on the couch while we figured out what we should do, and I realized I was soaked from sitting on the couch! The couch was SO wet, they must have just cleaned it or something, maybe to get the smoke out? So Diane called the front desk and told them what was going on, and asked if we could have another room and they said yes, but we would have to wait for one. We didn't really have a choice, so we left the room and went outside.
There are chairs and benches near all of those trees, so we sat there for a while. On the way to BLT, Diane stopped at the Contemporary to look at the cupcakes and got a pretty pink one (I think, I don't remember!) and split it with Caitlin while we were sitting out there. I tried it, it was really good, but I wasn't in the mood for a cupcake at that point. My head was really starting to hurt again, and I was praying I wasn't getting another migraine, but being in the room for those few minutes really bothered me, I'm so sensitive to chemicals and smoke smells, and that's what it was a combination of. Diane was getting tired and annoyed too, so we decided to move to the beach and get a few lounge chairs to lay down for a while.
I played around on my phone for a while and took a few pictures of the palm trees on the beach
and then I just tried to rest and make my headache go away.
We got bored after a while, and somehow, we came up with the plan to take the boat over to the Wilderness Lodge. I don't remember why, but we walked all the way over to the dock at the CR and waited for the boat. It was right out in the sun and it felt so hot sitting out there, and I was so tired from being up so early, I just wanted to shower and lay in a real bed for a while! I thought maybe we should call to see if our room was ready yet, since Diane wasn't getting a text, and it seemed like it was taking a really long time! Diane didn't want to call, so I googled the number to Bay Lake Tower, called it, and when the person answered, she said Contemporary Resort, so for some reason, I panicked and hung up the phone! I don't know why, I was just expecting them to say Bay Lake Tower and got all thrown off when she said Contemporary! So Diane took the phone from me and called and luckily, our room was READY!
We started the long walk back to the BLT (which really isn't that long, but when you're hot and tired, it feels like miles!) and Diane and Caitlin had to stop at the CR for some reason. I have no notes for this part of the day, so I have no idea what they were doing, but I remember going to the room alone and calling Bell Services to get our luggage dropped off.
I went into the room and there was no floor cleaner! No smoke smell! It was just clean and beautiful!
I liked the room, but something about it just felt strange to me. I think I was comparing it to AKL too much but I didn't love it the way I was expecting. Maybe I was just annoyed because I was tired and had a headache. There was nothing wrong with the room at all, it was pretty, I liked the art, but I don't know. Like, when I walked into the room at AKL I LOVED it. This room, I didn't have that feeling. But I was assuming maybe I'd learn to love it over the next couple of days, when I was feeling better. Right then, all I wanted to do was rest, shower and get to MK for our dinner reservation!
