The rooms are a lot more toned down. They are really nice.
Oh and just a FYI for those of you who have things shipped to the resort. We always get 2 cases of bottled water delivered to the villa and when they were delivered we were told that there is a $5 per box service charge. So the $15 bottled waters turned into $25 plus a tip. I don't think we'll ever have water delivered again.
The next morning we woke up early to hit EMH at Magic Kingdom. We've never been up this early on vacation before and it was great. We did Pirates, BTMR, and Splash Mountain in a little over an hour. We headed back to the resort for some lunch at the BC Marketplace. The turkey and mozzarella sandwich warmed up is delicious and the chocolate gelato is out of this world good. We ate outside at the tables since the solarium was crowded.
After that I took my middle dd to Epcot for some one on one time while the others went in the pool. We went to the French Bakery and had 3 desserts to share. We were only supposed to get 2 and share them but the strawberry tart looked too good to pass up. We also tried the chocolate mousse and something that looked like a canolli with cream in it. It started with nid .... Everything was great.
That evening we had dinner at WGP Cafe and again we were a little disappointed. They don't have the Maytag Blue cheese and truffle kettle chips on the appetizer menu anymore. They don't have the Weinnershnitzel (sp?) anymore. And the most upsetting part was NO MORE CREME BRULEE
. Sigh....I got the key lime pie and it was ok but I was looking forward to the creme brulee.
After dinner we walked around downtown and shopped. We got to see the hot air balloon go up a few times. That was interesting for my youngest to see. We had to stop in Ghirardelli and had a Frozen Mocha and a free chocolate square with almonds (very good).
It was around 11 PM so we headed for the bus and called it a night.
The next day we went to Hollywood Studios around 10:30 AM for our Fastpasses for Rockin' Roller Coaster. Only my oldest dd and myself will ride this ride so we got 4 passes so we can go twice.
We went on TGMR again and finally so the show where they stop at the old west theme and the building catches on fire. That was cool.
It was getting crowded and hot so we all went back to BW for lunch. I picked up some sandwiches and desserts from the BW Bakery to take back to the room. I love the Mozzarella and sundried tomato sandwich.
It was finally time to go back and ride Rockin' roller coaster so my dd and I headed for the boat to HS. We had some time to waste so we went on Tower of Terror
for the second time this trip since it was only a 20 min. wait again. I don't know why I keep going on this ride because it really scares me.
After we went on Rockin' Roller Coaster the first time with very little wait time. The second time we had a little more of a wait. They had to shut down the ride because a little boy about 6 yrs. old wanted to get off right before the ride takes off. So the lights came on, they called maintenance, and some people who were in charge of that ride to get the boy and his father off the ride. Finally about 20 minutes later we were moving again. This ride is always exciting but twice in a row was a little much. Feeling a bit dizzy we headed for the exit.
I'll continue later.
