Day Three

Once again, we got up bright and early and headed down to the bus stop for the 8:00 bus. Well, the bus came and it said, "Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom." So we waited. Then the next bus came and it said, "Epcot and Animal Kingdom." What? The bus driver stopped and said no one coming? I went up to ask him if the bus really went to Hollywood Studios, and he shut the door on me and drove off!
The buses are on 30-min rotations, so that meant we'd have to wait another half hour. We were frustrated.
First I went in to talk to them, and they pretty much shrugged me off, saying "Oops - he must've just had the wrong park listed. Not our fault."
(I forgot to mention that these people are very rude. On check-in day, Marcia sent Max and I to ask a question about her rewards points, and the lady told us to "come back with our mommy." If I was going for my Dad, I would've [liked] to tell her that I'm 20 years old and she can talk to me.)
We waited around angrily for a while. In the meantime, more people were coming. This little boy was griping that it was taking long (they had been there maybe 5 min), and then this older lady said, "We've actually been waiting here long" and I muttered to myself that she could just shut up because we had been there an hour.
Well, Marcia to the rescue. I might've mentioned before that she is very high-up in the HHonors program because she stays there for work... she has a lot of pull. Well, she went to talk to whatever manager was on duty, and they decided to get us a car service to the park. So they took us out front, and this guy was supposed to drive us there, then he put up his hand like, "Stop," (very rude) and drove off. So we had to wait for them to get us another car. In the meantime, they decided to pay for us roundtrip.
FINALLY we were at Hollywood studios. We missed rope drop by 10 minutes. Which meant that there was no point rushing Toy Story Mania. I sent Max and Marcia to Rockin' Rollercoaster and I headed to TSM to get FPs.
