Tuesday 16th Oct WCC/AK/HOB

I'm up around 6:30 today dress and go down and check out and recheck-in, and true to their words its painless all done in about 2 mins, I then head to Roaring Forks and get a powerade refill, I read the paper in the lobby before getting the family up, we have an 8:20 ADR at WCC

we check-in and get shown to our table right away, our server is can be crazy, he's ok but his heart doesn't really seem in it but can't complain about the service, DW had french toast & sausage plus a coke, DS has the same plus apple juice, DD has choc chip pancakes plus apple juice, I have sirloin tips, eggs over easy & sprite

Unfortunately for me I need ketchup, well I did get ketchup 13 bottles!! gig:

It was a good meal but the kids especially Danny struggled to eat it all and barely dented it total cost $57 before tip, after breakie DD and DS bought some things from the mercantile store.
We get the bus to AK

Walk straight into bugs life, lots of kids crying with darkness loud noises etc a few leave, after bugs life which is still good we get fast passes for Everest which seemed to be the only attraction with fast pass that day,

we headed to the Nemo show and I have to say its excellent really good show after the show we head to Everest and with our fast pass we are on in 10 mins when we come off the queue has increased quite a bit so we decide to not bother trying single rider as its at 40 min wait now!.

As DW hasn't shopped today yet she was having withdrawal symptoms so we hit the gift store where xmas decorations where bought and DD got a xmas tree for her room, then it was ice creams, juices all round before heading back to the resort.
Once back at the resort, the kids took their new friend to the pool

I take a wander to get some pics of front of hotel

Once back in the room both myself and DW finish packing for the transfer to RPR tomorrow then I just chill on balcony finishing off the wine from last night, both myself and DW agree we are parked out now and we think the kids are as well after so many visits the excitement just isn't there any more, we both agree that WL is a beautiful resort and you could stay here without venturing out to the parks, kids return from the pool and we all get ready for our evening out, tonight we have an ADR at the HOB and a concert that DD picked, the bands are The Academy is, Armor for sheep, Rocket Summer, plus Sherwood.
We get a taxi to DTD, the family check ib for our ADR and I pick up the tix from the box office, DW tells me that even although we have a table its only because the restaurant is empty as they never had a record of our ADR despite booking it online and receiving an electronic reminder from the HOB 24 hours before weird but no big deal, I inform our server we are attending the concert so will be using pass the line, she says so long as we are out by 6pm then we will be fine, DW orders chicken tenders & fries, DD has penne pasta, DS has half rack of ribs & fries, I have a full rack of ribs plus sweet mash potatoes, 4 sodas total cost $85 before tip, the food is good meat falls of the ribs really nice and tender, everyone likes their food as well, we don't have time for dessert due to time which is why we pass dessert

The kids join the pass the line queue, myself and DW decide to have a wander around DTD before going in to concert, we give the kids a phone in case they need to contact us, for the next two hours both myself and DW amuse ourselves with window shopping, but by now my feet where hurting and we decide to head into the HOB, get my wristband so I can buy alcohol then head upstairs to see if we can see the kids, as soon as we get upstairs Danny spots us and show us where they are standing, I spy a comfy chair in corner so I grab that and for next 3 hours and a few buds I don't move, the kids seem to be really into the concert and must admit they certainly had the crowd going, DD got her pic with one of the band

Stephanie even managed to make a new friend don't ask me how, but his name's Justin he's from Illinois orginally but moved to Orlando a few months ago

After the concert finished around 11 we headed into Virgin where DS bought a few things for his ds then it was a taxi back home to bed

My daughter saw the same bands here in our home town but I have to tell you I was laughing at Armor for sheep, it is Armor for sleep

P.S. I have been reading your trip report, sounds like you had an amazing time.

Sounds like a great day! I know what you mean about being parked out. We tend to get that way at Disney as well. Think we're spoiled by FOTL, and touring plans and Fast Passes just drain us. Sometimes we get parked out at Uni too.

Sorry you needed KETCHUP!!

We have had some great stays and meals at the Wilderness Lodge.
