So continuing on with Day number 2.....
We got back on the bus to head back to WL. By now, Jon's breakfast was wearing off and it was getting time for some lunch. The plan was to go back to Roaring Forks and get some lunch, take it back to the room and change for the pool. It took FOREVER to get back to WL from AK. I failed to mention before about the bus ride that morning, it also made a stop at Blizzard Beach. So before heading back to WL, we had to make another stop at Blizzard Beach then back to WL. You could tell that the folks going back to GF were fustrated as everyone else.
So we head back to WL and we stop and picked up lunch to take back to the room. We just ordered one meal and we got this......this was 1 CS credit...
Roast Beef with crumbled blue cheese and creamy dill sauce. It came with macaroni salad, bag of chips (we could have got a dessert, but we got chips instead) and drink.
It was very tasty. Jon and I were able to split it and it was perfect to tie us over for dinner later that evening. The roast beef was paired well with the cheese and I like the dressing that went on it. The CM that fixed the sandwhich looked at me stranged when I asked him to remove some of the bread inside the roll.....the roll was huge and I don't like a lot bread with my meat.....overall the lunch was good.....
Jon said that he felt like he had been in a car wreck from riding EE 2 times....I guess he really felt like he was approaching his 40's....
...so he got on the floor to stretch out....
After an afternoon with a good lunch and self healing seminar....we decided to go on a letterbox hunt. We changed into our swim gear and flip flops and I sprayed down with some sunscreen and headed out in the "Wilderness." There was a clue that led us to the Nature Trail located on the WL grounds. We both like to hike back home in the moutains in Asheville so we were excited to see a little Florida nature.....
I was scared to find snakes and alligators so we were cautious on our hunt for the box.....
And we did find it! Yay! And it didn't take long......
So we did our thing and documented our find in our Letterbox Log Book.
We are truly addicted to this new hobby and it was fun to add it to our trip at Disney. Each box contains a booklet documenting everyone that has found it and its cool to read about the other fellow boxers who sloved the clue....
We headed back down the trail to go swimming at the pool and to grab a cocktail at the pool bar. I was feeling much better by this time until I heard a roar of thunder come across the MK Resort Area.....
So, the hunky lifegards started to tell folks to get out of the pool.....it was going to be closed down until the afternoon storm passed away.....and there I stood with all that sunscreen on!
What did we do then? We go and grab a snack
I got to craving for something sweet and nutty.....A MAGIC BAR!!!!
All I got say is mmmmmmmmmm so good!!!!!! It's a combination of cookie type graham crackers with chocolate chips and buttersotch. Also, there's nuts and coconut.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm goood! Love them! I used one snack credit for it....
I have the receipe now!!!! Yum Yum!
So we head back to the room to change back in our park attire. I had to jump in the shower to get that sun screen off of me. I felt like I had primed my skin with Kelz Paint Primer.....nasty stuff!
We were ready to hit DHS! So we hopped on the bus and off we went. But 1st there was a stop at Ft. Wilderness to pick up some folks there....
The bus ride took forever again.....by this time, I wish we had a car....anyway...we arrived at MGM, I mean Hollywood Studios...whatever its called now.....
It was jammed packed here folks! All the Fast Passes were taken at just about every ride, except for Tower or Terror...
We knew it was going to be a busy week, so we didn't care. We had some more Letterbox clues to slove that were in DHS, so we spent some time doing that. Sorry, I can give any more details on our finds......we did some shopping too. There was another cute gay couple we met at a pin trading cart that was looking for Woody from Toy Story and we had one. They had nothing to trade so we just gave it to them.
We had a 540p ADR at....
We walked on over to Sci-Fi
Jon loves this place....it was one of his favorites last trip!
So, we check in and we waited. And waited. And waited. And waited some more.....It had just started to storm again and the folks that were finished with dinner actually stayed at their "cars" until the rained lifted. We actually were "parked" by 6:15pm. The CMs were sorry for the wait...we understood, you just can't run off guests after they finished dinner....they have every right to stay as long as they want, but people, we were hungray!
Our car hop was the percious and cutie pie Ryan. And he was fabulous! He took our orders....such a sweet guy!
Jon had a cherry coke and and I had a diet vanilla coke. For our meals we ordered these...
Jon's choice, and it was excellent. He loved it and cleaned his plate. I like it too! Big ol plump shrimp...mmmmmm
I got the ribs....
They were okay.....kind of fatty, but some good peices here and there. I got fries to go with it.
For dessert we got .....
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake.....mmmmmmmm so good! Loved it.
Jon got a hot fudge sundae but I did not take a pic of it.....
So we enjoyed the show....we were in the back seat of the car....
Ryan, our car hop, came back with some moist towel packets and said "Here's some protection for you guys....." We just cracked up and he just winked.....you go Ryan Boy!
After dinner, we went under the hat to buy.....
Yep, you guessed it....MORE PINS!
It was all good! Jon had a ball adding to his collection....btw, we have over 500 pins now. Had a total of zero since the beginning and that was in January this year!!!
Okay, I have to take a break now....Photobucket is killing me!
Next up...a Magical Surprise!!!!!!
That ride gets me everytime. It's too bad to because it's a great ride.
Ick.
