Live Reports May 8-28 (yes, 21 days) Solo & a 1st timer!

[RunningGirl]

Great to read good things about ST! Hope you enjoy Epcot this evening.

 

[bhbob]

Epcot was not busy. Managed to do SSE, MS x3 and TT x3 all in a short period of time before dinner.

La Haceinda was good but nothing special. Had the shrimp tacos and mango tamale.

Illiuminations from inside the restaurant was OK but I liked it better outside maybe because I like to feel the fireworks.

Made it back quick and easy.

Tomorrow is laundry day. Yipee. Has to be done though. So whenever I get up it's off to the baseball pool to relax and do laundry. Then I might pop by POP to check it out. Maybe I'll use my free mini golf tomorrow.

Probably a no park day but I doubt I'll be able to resist a ride or two on Star Tours. So much fun!

Tired ankles, a few blisters and a sore back but still loving it!

'night

Glad you are enjoying the parks. Did you like Toy Story Mania?

I really liked TSM but I have a shoulder injury so once is enough this trip.

 

[nutz2notz]

All caught up. Sounds like you are having a great time. Jealous you have already done star tours but so happy for you!

 

[JenniferIL]

I am still really loving this and I am so happy for you.

Laundry time! How's that for exciting! Sitting at the pool sipping a soda while the laundry spins. Ooh aah

Woke up in the middle of the night with a runny nose. Probably just my normal 24hr headcold.

I forgot, tonight is the Boma reservation I added. Sounds good.

Not sure what's after laundry, maybe lunch at POP then mini golf? Looks like ST is not open yet.

Later

 

[melnbil]

I am enjoying your live report. I will be there in 7 days, so this will keep me posted until we get there!!

 

[sahm2two]

How fun that you got to ride on Star Tours! I can't wait

 

[All7OfUs]

UGH! Laundry. Life's unavoidable evil, even at Disney.

I think you're going to like POP. Tell us what you think. Mini-golf sounds nice- a relaxing break after a lot of park days. HEY, have gone to DTD yet?? Are you going to?

 

[bhbob]

After laundry I decided to jump on the first bus to come by, it was for DHS.

Went by ST but it was closed. Went to find lunch and the Star Tours Live ap said opened. Walked back and rode it 3 more times! The graphics and all are so good.

Next was lunch and LMA. Good noisy and fun show to see once.

Took a bus over Epcot and hopped on the monorail to a ride to the TTC for the first time. Fun. Decided to stay on for back and forth and off at TTC.

Monorail black was broken down at the station for the resort line. Someone said the doors wouldn't close. That was at 3pm and as of 4pm the resort line is still down.

You can see a little smoke still from that fire east of the parking lot. Not to much.

I took the ferry over MK and a bus back to Sports. Not feeling 100% from this headcold going to rest before Boma.

 

[clayfolks]

Loving your trip report! I check it a few times a day just to see what you are doing... Thanks for letting me live vicariously!!

Ahh, the first bus game!! Never played taht one, but I've never had 3 weeks of Disney time either.. LOL!

Oh, you're getting me all ramped up for this!

Next was lunch and LMA. Good noisy and fun show to see once.

I've never seen taht one- but assumed it was a once for me- My kids say it was one of their faves of all time!

Gosh it'd be nice to have the time to just ride if you decide.

Monorail black was broken down at the station for the resort line. Someone said the doors wouldn't close. That was at 3pm and as of 4pm the resort line is still down.

Bummer!!

FIRE!!??

Rest is good!??

 

[JoJoFromNY]

Rest is what you need Bob. Hope you are feeling better and made it to Boma for dinner.

 

[bhbob]

Did not make it Boma. I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in bed.

Still not feeling great but I had to get out.

More later

 

[All7OfUs]

Hang in there, Bob! Hope you feel ALL THE WAY better TODAY!!!

 

[bhbob]

Slept in until 9am dis not want to get out of bed. Head is still all stuffed .blah feeling.

But I had to get out, so off to Star Tours. DHS is my least favorite park except for ST.

30min line this time. People have arrived for tomorrow's grand opening. Still looks like only 5 of the 6 simulators are working. Each ride seemed to have a problem with the seatbelts.

Sitting waiting to see Indy currently.

Might just head back to the room after this. Dinner is planned at R&C in Epcot.

Later.

 

[glojenn1]

hope you feel better soon....i hope you like r&c at epcot ....we got adr's there too for our trip May 31st-June 7th...so interested on your review of it.

 

[bhbob]

Left DHS after Indy which was lots of fun.

Star Tours line even longer. Not up to waiting.

Did the mini golf at W/S. Nice and quiet. Shot a 41.

Back at sports to chill. Head still feels all clogged up and good thing I brought the little packages of Kleenex. Feeling better than yesterday. After a nap yesterday I just didn't feel like getting up and out to Boma. Still haven't figured out a new time.

Weather is heating up again, yuck. Last few days were very nice. Tomorrow is going to turf with the heat and crowd, but I have to be there. Like I said before I was at the grand opening of ST in Disneyland all those years ago so I can't miss this. But I got reservations for MM And Sci-fi so I can get out of it for a while. Not doing any autographs.

Realized yesterday I was past the half way point of my trip and it made me sad.

Doing everything I wanted to do, I just don't want to go back to the real world. Reality sucks sometimes.

Rest time, talk to ya later.

Enjoying your TR so far! We usually do 10 days, and I always wish we could stay 10 more!

Congestion: BOO! Find a pharmacy that delivers to WDW and have them send you some REAL Sudafed-- the red tablets that contain Pseudophedrine that you can only get from behind the pharmacy counter, not the one they stock on the shelf (which has been shown to be nearly useless in lab tests), AND some Mucinex (not Mucinex-D, because you already have decongestant in teh sudafed). I get terrible headcolds/sinus infections, and that combo will keep head congestion from becoming a full-blown sinus infection, and it gets me back up on my feet feeling 'normal'. One thing---don't take the Mucinex too close to bedtime, or you'll be up coughing all night. I won't take it after about 3pm.

And I agree on Stitch-- it USED to be AWESOME, back when it was the old Alien Encounter. It was 9 kinds of scary, and so innovative!
