Morning all!
Val & I got to BWV about 7:30 last night.
Trudged abut a mile and a half to our room to leave our carry-on's and then decided to head for Epcot for a quick snack at F&W.
After walking back about a mile, we took one of the stairwells (rather than going all the way back to the elevator) down to the boardwalk level and were immediately hit by a wall of humidity. Val's glasses fogged over but fortunately she didn't run into anything before they de-fogged.
Walking along the boardwalk to Epcot we were surprised by how many folks were out there. We also noticed that we were already sweating heavily.
Went into Epcot and stopped immediately at the gift shop by IG to pick up a F&W swipe card and then had to face the difficult decision; which way to turn. Should we go right towards France or left towards UK? A decision further hampered by us not knowing just what it was that we wanted to eat first. In the end (all of 30 seconds) we decided to head for escargot. Well, I was going to escargot. Val was going for the short ribs. Oh, and we got the creme brullee and to drink we shared a cosmo slushie. All and all it was very tasty although the slushie could have used more vodka. All together it was $21.25 for our snack.
OK, hunger is abated, now what? We knew that some other DIS'ers were in the park too, but didn't see any DIS stuff (it was dark at this point) and we were pretty hot and tired so we decided we'd just head back to the room. Stopped at the Screen Door to get a package of bagels and look at the watches for a possible christmas present for our daughter to give to her partner. Wound up also picking up a WDW magnetic sticker to go on the new car (which I pick up on Friday!) and a diet coke.
Back in the room, it was time to wrestle with the internet connection (still free for members - wonder how long?) but to no avail. It was taking several minutes just for it to load the splash screen - when it would even go that far. I called the help line but was on hold for a while and I decided I'd just leave it for the morning. It was time for bed.
Sorry we didn't meet up with the other DIS'ers. Hopefully there will be other opportunities before we leave Thursday.
