I'm loving your TR so far!
So jealous of all your resort hopping, what a great line up!
We had a similar bus driver experience leaving the parks one day.
He must have been new as he took quite a few wrong turns and started taking up out of property rather than back to POP!
He managed to loop back around and figure it out eventually though and everyone had a good laugh about it.
I am in the no picture viewing mode right now but just wanted to comment that I have seen Illuminations from the outside seating at R&C and it is just awesome.
45 minutes to wait is a little much. I've had the filet and fish and really enjoyed it. I'm due for a return visit to R&C.
That wait doesn't sound fun! I'm glad you said that it seems to be a common theme though, because now I know if I ever want to eat there that I should book an ADR for when the place first opens.
