CHAPTER 19: TINY WAFFLES AND A TATTOO DAY 3: Monday, April 30th, 2007
PLANS: Meet Stitch for breakfast, then EPCOT all day!
BREAKFAST: OHanas 8am (4 OOP)
LUNCH: just the snacks, maam, just the snacks.
DINNER: Alfredos (TS9,10,11,12)
REALITY: This morning dawned bright and early again Sandy and I took another tour of the resort. Rhonda joined us today. Rhonda tells us about how they wandered and wandered the resort last night looking for the laundry. They finally gave up and just asked someone.
We had a phone message when we got into the room last night to be sure to go down to concierge and pick up our Hoop-Dee-Doo tickets for Thursday. So, after showing Rhonda a bunch of the resort, we headed over to the Concierge desk. There were 2 people working one of whom was in back getting an answer for some guy. We get in line (ok, we are the line). There are 3 people over at the Front Desk just standing there.
10 minutes go by, were still standing there, the person in the back has still not appeared, and the line behind us is about 8 people long! Rhonda gets fed up and goes over to the Front Desk people too see if they can help were just picking up tickets. Nope. Oh for Petes sake!
The woman at the Concierge Desk who is helping someone looks up and says, They arent trained on Concierge. I thought Rhonda was gonna lunge over the counter! I wasnt mad, but I did think it was stupid. Ive had front desk people at Pop Century help me more than this!
And, I forgot to mention, but when we checked in, I asked Carlos for a Hidden Mickey list for the hotel, and he told me only Concierge could hand them out. You need special training to hand someone a sheet of paper???
We finally get help no apologies for the wait and we have our HDDR tickets which I put right in the safe.
We had decided to get a cab over to the Polynesian for breakfast at OHanas. Rhonda covers the tab Sandy starts to argue! I remind her about accepting with grace and we all thank Rhonda. (Meanwhile, my head is trying to figure out how to not pay for anything else the rest of the trip! LOL!!!)
We loved the chairs and the rug in the Polynesian! There were Hidden Mickeys in the rug Rhonda didnt even notice until after she got the pictures developed!
Im the only one who has eaten breakfast here last September with Meg & Ash. I thought the food was good and the character interaction wonderful. This time was no different.
The tiny Mickey waffles are so good here and Im not a waffle person! We asked for more twice, I think! Even the eggs were good and usually the eggs on a family style skillet arent that good
We enjoy the characters and I tell Rhonda to show Mickey her Mickey Mouse tattoo on her ankle theres no picture of it though! Well, Mickey loved it!
After breakfast, we are walking over to the Grand Floridian, hoping that the wedding chapel is open we tried this last trip (09/2005) and the gates were locked.
This time, they are wide open. A couple cast members are standing outside the chapel and we ask if we can take a look wanna see???
