Day 5 Part 3
Rejuvenated after my nap, and Suzi's laundry done, we decided to head out again....
I was really looking forward to tonight - but since I'd never done this before, I really had no idea what to expect.
We were in line for the DHS bus at 6pm, but we had to wait a while for the bus.
Finally, we arrived at DHS at 6:30... The bus dropped us right at the front - so that was nice.
We stopped at the tree for Photopass pictures... I was really curious about how these would turn out, because it's super dark here... See - they turned out great!
As soon as we got into the park, we spotted another Photopass person, who was clearly bored... So, we asked him to take a few pictures of us... This was fun - and he took some pretty great ones.
On our way down Hollywood Blvd, I spotted Photopass Joe!!! Remember Photopass Joe from earlier in my TR??? Well, here's our promised selfie... And also a few more pictures that Joe took of me...
I hugged Joe good-bye and promised to stop in to see him in January.
We tried for Star Tours, but it was a 40 minute wait... Nope... No thanks!
But we were hungry... So, we decided on dinner at Backlot Express - since it was right there. I ordered a bacon hamburger (my first burger for the trip) and fries with water. It was good. If I remember correctly - I only at the bottom half of the bun, but I could be wrong?
We started heading back toward the Osbourne Lights... And ooooh what a magnificent sight!!! I've never seen anything like this! I cannot believe that this is going away... It's incredible! My pictures do not even begin to do it justice.
It wasn't until later, when I was perusing FB, I discovered that we were standing near Mo during this time... Sigh - we could have met up again.
We waited in line for this photopass picture forever! But it was worth it - we'll never get one like it again!
Osborne Lights were beautiful - amazing - incredible... So sad that they will never be here again!
Tired and ready to head out... We started towards the exit...
Upon exiting... We saw a bus line that was beyond frightful... We waited for 25 minutes for the first bus to arrive. On top of that - there were 2 scooters and a wheelchair to board... Yah. Believe it or not - they stuffed all of us on to this bus, again it was packed and awful!
The bus line in front of us (all of us got on to this first bus... Plus the 2 scooters and a wheelchair!)...
And the bus line behind us... Quite a few of these people got on this bus, as well.
Seriously - something needs to be done about this bus situation in WDW. It's getting bad.
We were back to Jambo at 9:15...
Our Mileage for today:
I sat on the balcony for a few minutes to enjoy the view - sad that our trip was coming to a close.
