...schedule, then you've better pack up your bag of tricks and be gone!" - The Sword in the Stone. Day 1, Part 2.
I hope you all know how much I love you and how dedicated I am to this TR. I am having severe computer angst tonight, almost finished my update and then lost it.
Here we go again....
So DH informed me of more Squinty Lady reports. Apparently I was so blinded by my Disney goal that I didn't realize that she wasn't behind me when I got to the Magical Express check in desk. Apparently since she took a different way then us she didn't arrive to the ME desk until I was done and walking out of line. This amused DH greatly. I promised him I would include this little tidbit. So there you go.
Anyhoo....I beelined it to the check in desk at Pop while DH wrangled with our carry on luggage. I was the first one in line at Pop and don't really remember anyone behind me. This leads me to think our bus was making another stop at a different resort but who knows.
The nice lady at Check In told me our room was ready and pulled out the handy dandy Pop Map to show me our room.....
In the 50's section!! I was so excited, this is where I wanted to stay even though I didn't request it. I decided to go with the flow and I was rewarded with the fabulous 50's! Our room was very close to Classic Hall. Room 1222. Second Floor, King Size Bed. Sweet! The only thing we did not like about this room was the shower set up. The bathroom was set up as a handicap bathroom. Which was nice and roomy BUT the shower curtain was too short and since there was no shower/tub to gather the water, when we showered the floor was SOAKED. We went through so many towels and no matter what we tried to do, the floor was soaked after every shower.
Here's our room.
There was a mini fridge in that cabinet near the TV.
After we checked out the room we were both starving so we headed over to Everything Pop for lunch. Before we had lunch I went to the Concierge Desk to get a print out of my ADR's. Famous. Last. Words. She handed me a print out of THREE ADR's! THREE! I started to freak. They had Crystal Palace, Liberty Tree Tavern and Kona Cafe on the list. No Cinderella's Royal Table! I almost had to be revived. I politely said to the nice CM that I had all of the confirmation numbers and could you please check again. It seems they had spelled my last name wrong when I made some of the ADR's. Phew. Crisis averted. I could eat lunch now.
Lunch was very good! I was pleasantly surprised. We both had Double Bacon Cheeseburgers with Fries, Soda and Tie Dyed Cheesecake.
Honestly, I was shocked at how good the burgers were. Usually when you get a burger at a fast food place like a food court, it's dry. Not these, so good and moist. The Tie Dyed Cheesecake was good but weird to eat, it looks like play-dough. DH enjoyed his burger as well. The fries were good too.
After we finished eating, we headed back to our room and I had a missed call from Crissy (If U Had Wings). We played phone tag for a bit and finally touched base. She was at Epcot as planned, so DH and I headed to the buses so we could catch up with her.
It had stopped raining by then, it was SO humid. Blech. I was really worried by the cloudy skies but Crissy had told me it had stopped raining at Epcot so we forged onward. We waited about 25 minutes for the Epcot Bus to come and then two power scooter things had to load. What a long annoying process! I understand that people need them but there has got to be a better way to get them to and from the park, like their own transportation!
The bus was super crowded but we were able to get seats. While waiting for the bus we had tried to get an ADR for a World Showcase restaurant since it was rainy and it would kill some time before Illuminations. No luck, all they had was Les Chefs and Bistro de Paris. Seeing as we would have to pay out of pocked for this meal, those were a little pricey and we passed.
Finally the bus arrives at Epcot.....
Does the rain stay away?
What doesn't make it inside Epcot with us?
Do we snag a WS ADR?
