Destination: Coronado Springs Resort
Duration: From 29 april through 13 may.
Chapter: DAY 5 (saterday 3 May).
The day started with a wake up call from the telephone at 7.00am. It wasn't needed, because I was allready awake. All nights till now, except the first one, I could sleep very well. This night however I didn't sleep much. This all had to do with my visit to Blizzard Beach yesterday. I had a very fun time at Blizzard Beach, but now I'm experiencing the negative consequences about that visit. I'm sunburned, and not a little bit. My shoulders are much irritating and that's the reason I didn't sleep much.
Of course I did put on sunblock. I thought I'd done good. I'v bought a brand of that stuff that should work for the whole day. You have to put it on 90 minutes before you go into the sun. Its called P20. I don't know if its for sale in the USA. Didn't see it in one of the Disney shops. Unfornutely it didn't work.
Its not the first time I'v got sunburned, so I thought its so. Can't do much against it and it should be over in a few days as most times.
So I started preparing for the day like every other day. Went on a bus to MGM studios about 7.50 and arrived just about 8.00am. People were allready let in for early entry, so there wasn't much of a wait. Today is a special one. Its the first time I will meet someone that I haven't met before. He had read a post from me here at the Disboards in the adult and solo forum and asked me if I should like to meet him somewhere in WDW. He was also on his first solo trip. Had made an appointment to meet each other at 12.30pm. First of course I started with a few rides, since Its early entry now and not too busy.
First I went on the Rock and Rollercoaster. Short wait. Of course it was good as ever, but my shoulders started irritating because of that shoulder harnass thing. So I decided to stop riding this coaster for the day. After that was of course the Tower of Terror. That went pretty good, so I did it twice.
After that I went to the Starring Rolls bakery and bought something for breakfast with an orrange juice.
What I did after breakfast I don't know the Exact order, but I did the Muppet 3d, the One Mans Dream incl the film aznd finally I did the Backstage tour. Of course in the morning, so there wasn't the sun at the left where the Canyon is.
A few minutes befor 12.30 I went to the fast pass entrance of Star Tours where I should meet Phillip. After a few minutes He appears. We said hello to each other and start talking about how our trip went till today. We slowly walked to mama Melrose where he had made a PS for us for lunch. In less then ten minutes we were seated.
I ordered the woodfired chicken and he ordere something like specied sausages. Also we both ordered a salad as a starter.
The salad was good as was the main course. The main course was however was too much for both of us. We couldn't finish it.
After the meal was finished we did the Immagination tour. Allways interesting. One of the nicest things about it is that you can take a look in the real studios. Because it was a saterday there were no people at work. I remembered from a previous visit that you could look through the windows and saw people actually doing their job.
After that we went I thought to Tower of Terror. He wants todo the Backstage tour. I allready did it, but I'd offered to let him choose, because its the only day that he is in this park during hist stay. Its also a pleasent tram ride, so I also liked a second one. It was however to busy to make the tour and be on time for the parade at 5pm. So we decided to go elswhere and do that tour after the Parade. We entered the ABC sound dangerous show and it started within a few minutes. Allways fun this show.
After this we found a good spot in the shade to watch the parade. The shade of course was important to me, because of my irritating shoulders. Also this one was a different parade as the one that I saw two years before. That time I remember that they had a Mulan parade. Also this parade is different then the Parade at the Disney Studios in Paris. The parade, as allways, was nice to see, however I like the parades at the Magic Kingdeom better.
After the Parade I can't remember what we did, but we did the Backstage tour. The rest of the time I relaxed, while Phillip went to do some shopping. By 7 o clock we went to Fantasmic, but before that I wanted some food with me. Oh what a long line was that. Bought a turkey leg, but I waited more then 20 minutes to get it. It was one of the busyest days in MGM studios today I thought. When we entered Fantasmic the center seats were all taken. Our seat location became half left. It wasn't really that bad at all. Of course we had time enough to speak with each other. My shoulders, and that is a minor thing, became more irritating. He advices me to go to first aid. You know I'm a little bit nervous about nurces, especially in a foreign country, but finally I agreed that some proffesional person needed to look at my shoulders, because I don't like that it should ruin my whole trip.
After Fantasmic. Good as ever, It was busy with people trying to find their way out of the stadium. Because of this we get seperated and couldn't find each other that evening. Sure I wanted to thank Phillip for the day, but he was disappeared. As a surprice I met him two days later for a few minutes. I can tell you its really nice to meet with someone on a solo trip. On my next solo trip I will do it again. Its also nice to discuss the differences between the different cultures between our countrys. You know I'm from the Netherlands (Europe). He was from Kansas (USA)
Waited for some time at the exit of Fantasmic. Lots of people, but no Phillip. After that I went to first aid. They adviced me to put some stuff on it one or two times aday that should lower the irritation level and cool it off. It worked pretty good. A few days later and the irritation was all gone.
Because of the irritation of my shoulders I wasn't in the mood for downtown Disney, so I hopped on a bus to my resort. After a free coke in my resort miug amd watching some TV I went to bed. Set the phone alarm at 7.45. Tommorow I'm going to the breakfast at Cape May Cafe where I have a PS for 10am.
Comming soon DAY 6.
