We've had a great 1st day here at BC. We arrived from ASMU around 10:30, had no wait for check in. We were informed that all of our requests were granted & they would page us when ready. So we walked over to Epcot around 11a! I bought my TIW card at guest relations with no wait!
We had F&W for lunch- Canada-Cheedar soup & mushroom filet & apple ice wine. The wine was awesome, but came in the smallest glass I have ever seen! Honestly smaller than shot glass, I wasn't expecting something large, but saw several people with flutes that were larger than our mini shot glasses. DH had from Greece the chicken gyro(he said in was great) & we split the fried cheese with pistachio nuts & honey. I really liked this. Then we had a orange dole whip, one plain & mine with alcohol. I did not like the taste of the alcohol- too strong.
We had some time to kill before our fass pass + started so we rode Spaceship Earth & headed to fast pass + for Test track, we loved walking up! We got a text at 1:40 while on test tack room was ready We shopped around mousegear until fast pass + at character spot, then rode Nemo which was walk on, then rode the Land ride & then last fast pass + for Soarin. These magic bands have been awesome!
We walked back to the best room at 430p. We booked a garden view, we overlook the courtyard by the volleyball court facing swan/dolphin/YC. So we have an awesome view of lagoon. We're on 4th floor with full balcony. We requested king bed & we got it, our room also has a wet bar with sink which I didn't know existed. We have a day bed & 2 smaller closets, no tall dresser. Our vanity with double sink is in the bathroom. The room seems bigger than our king at YC last year.
We had dinner at Yachtman Steakhouse. We had the white wine flight, the shrimp (well DH did, lol), I had the filet & DH ny strip. The accidentally brought wrong steak for DH & then we waited 20 min for the correct one & they took it off of our bill! Our waiter put my steak order in 2x & not DHs. Plus we had TIW! Great deal! The waiter also brought us the mini sampler with 5-6 bite size things to try for our Anniversay. We had a great meal.
We went to the quiet pool hot tub, it was not warm at all, but the jets felt bad. We informed the staff filling towels & they put a call out for maitenence.
We also had a cute VM in room from Minnie & Mickey telling us happy anniversary & singing a song.
What an awesome 1st day! I'm so happy to be home & hope to run into some of you guys! Thanks for your help planning a great trip!!!
Only kind of snow I want to see anytime soon is what might fly at the Osborne Lights on November 8th!
. I hope it's not going to happen, as our trips ( twice a year) tend to be 10 to 14 days each. So if this happens we won't be able to make FP selections, the allotted 3 a day for entire trip.
I love the woodsy theme, being on Bay Lake, being able to walk to FW, and especially the boats. The boat to MK is a 12 minute ride, the boat to CR is about 5 minutes long and a great way to get on the monorail, and the boat to FW is not too long either. It is peaceful and serene there.
