Monday, May 5th continued
After taking photos of the room and my Jewlry purchases I closed the curtains and took a shower and got into some comfy clothes.
It had been a warm first part of the day and I was ready for a rest and the cool ac. I opened the curtains back up and could see all of Celestial Park and the lands from my window.
I was still so awed by the view.
The bed was very comfy as were the pillows. I propped up in bed and answered some emails and took a quick nap.
I had tried for a VQ for the Ministry of Magic ride at 11 am with no luck so there was another two chances today. One at 3 pm and one at 6 pm so would give it another try.
Exactly at 3 pm the VQ sign up came up and was down in seconds. I got as far as getting the time and when I clicked to submit it was gone. Oh well……there was always 6 pm.
I do not have the lightening finger skills that the younger ones do. I have watched them fly across the keys with their thumbs.
At about 5:55 pm I started watching the VQ for MOM and again it came up at exactly 6 pm and was gone in seconds again. I again got as far as the time submit and was shut out again.
I was beginning to feel this was not going to be an easy VQ to attain. I had heard that the ride was having issues and many were retuning for repeat ride times because the ride had gone down on their scheduled time to ride MOM which was limiting the available VQ’s.
I got ready for another outing to Celestial Park and the Lands. I had only been to Dark Universe and needed to see some more Lands.
I don’t want to rush through when I’am on vacation. I had only two days in Epic to try and enjoy Celestial Park and the other Lands.
I knew that if I did not get on the rides I wanted to try I would be back another time so it was not the be all end all to ride certain rides.
So out he door I went.
It was a breeze getting out the Hotel guest entrance to he park.
I went to my right and past the Blue Dragon and Dark Universe. I was going to try and sample some food at
The exterior sign was modeled off a movie “A trip to the moon” from 1902. It was a French movie adapted from a Jules Verne novel “From the Earth to the Moon”.
The theming is like the dark rides of the 1900”s.
There are kinetic scenes in motion on the ceiling and the walls.
There is both inside and outside seating .
There was a line inside and it was moving nicely.
A TM shows you to your table. You mobile ordered from a QR on your table.
The centerpiece behind the food counter is a pizza oven that has crashed on the cheese moon.
If you look closely you can see all the characters are dressed in clothes that have pepperoni and other various pizza accoutrements on them.
