Yep, Charade, Mannheim Steamroller with Chip Davis conducting. Was a great show. And even nicer, all mostly stayed seated. And not many phones, though the lady in front of me recorded it with her phone, the whole show.
And after all that happened, we were wiped out, saw a huge line for the donut shop, and thought maybe mobile order would be better. Bonus, as we saw the donut pick up is across from the store.So placed our mobile order, went to sit on a bench for a few minutes, checked our mobile order, said ready. Went to pick it up with no line, and box in hand. Should we walk or boat? Both of us said hope line for boat does not look bad. As walked by it, I said pretty sure not a long line for us. Guys In front of us asked if it was the furthest away going boat. We said no, SF was. They get out of line, and run. I guess to get in SF’s much longer line. Well, we were the second last pair to get on. Quick enough boat ride, and quick back to our room. Little one ate her one of two donuts she ordered. I guess she enjoyed it, as was fast asleep soon after I heard her eating it. We had gotten that big pink box. Both of us were like we only ordered three donuts. Well, the apple fritter, said little one, when she opened the box, took up over half the box.
Maybe I’ll be eating that for days.
And so, even with little one taking a couple hour nap after we went to that mouse stores and food. Had a huge, and I mean huge meal after eating about 25 minutes for a table and to order. Steak, mashed, brisket, mac and cheese, and waffle fries. We’d definitely order the mac and mashed and both meats, but the fries, eh, not again. Then some shopping for a specific item. Score! Did lots of walking to walk off that meal, then back to relax before heading out for the concert. We entered around 5:30, went straight to the concert area. The very first row was mostly taken, and we didn’t want to try to squeeze un, but the middle kinda area was not very filled up, so we found a spot next to the front, and little one napped until a few minutes before it started. She was laying down, and as the pad of turf filled, no one bothered her. The only annoying couple squeezed between little one and the other couple, every time little one and I tried to extend our feet, the guy moved in front of us, off the turf. Thankfully the did not stay the whole time, and the couple and us looked at each other as they left, and promptly sprawled our legs out once more. And I will say, it was the best place, as our turf pad was perfectly spread out, minus those last minute additions. It definitely was a full house. Music and lights, an hour show, so we’d certainly like to come when they play next year. 14 years, this year, they have played here.
And so, with not knowing when little one will arise, the only plans I made were the tour tonight. After quickly changing to shorts after we landed, we stayed in them until bed time. Will say, maybe would have been more comfortable in pants. But after the show, we felt hungry, so after having a 14 minute wait, then more wait, we scarfed down a whole pizza. Why we needed donuts after that? Well, yeah. So when we go to the tour, we may go back and change to pants, even if a bit warm when first joining. Weather today looks like yesterday, hot feeling day, with glorious sun until later in the day when clouds come. But they are not rain clouds. Yay, looks like beautiful weather all week. Thanks Metro. I’m excited to see the parade. We got front row views of the parade, as we tried to pass others walking to the concert. So if anyone is interested in timing, it was at the almost end as we were walking along. And so many were watching on both sides of the road.
So park time is what I think we are doing. But first a trip to pick up a few items we forgot. Oh and boat times, for those interested, with parks closing at 7 and 8, and CityWalk open until midnight. First boats start at 7am, as early entry to Islands, so, with 9 am starts, 8 an early entry. Last boat before ya walk, is 1:15 am. I assume much later times given 10 pm ends starting Friday. But like Buckeev and I, we won’t have to see those later open times. Fine with us, as this trip was mostly to just do the holiday stuff. And you can bet, I am going to try the seasonal crepe, hopefully today, it sounds good.
With my water bottle heated enough, time for some tea. Then will wait for little one to get going. Maybe get breakfast out, as we go get our items. See snacks are also on that list, with the early closing of the parks.
