Day 4 – Tuesday, May 7, Part 3
We were in our room at WL at 6:24. I had noted on our reservation that this was our anniversary trip.
If you were paying attention when this trip report began, I introduced myself as Christie. No, Disney didn’t get it wrong. Consider yourself a friend. Christina is my legal name and the one I use professionally. If you know me as Christie, you must be a longtime friend or a family member. Doug asked why it was lowercase instead of a capital C. He assumed Disney made a mistake. Nope, that’s the way I entered it in MDE years ago. Not really sure there was a purpose at the time other than I liked the way it looked printed on the inside of my MagicBand, but back when the screens worked properly on rides such as It’s a Small World, I would know it was me if the name came up lowercase.
I did not take room photos upon arrival. These were taken before we checked out so please excuse the rumpled bed.
Random thought I wanted to add – WL had better pillows than anywhere else we’ve stayed on property over the years. This is a small thing, but I thought it was worth noting. I’m not sure if Disney is actually buying better quality pillows or if these were just newer and not squished down into nothingness yet. Either way, I appreciated the bit of firmness and support!
We unpacked quickly and decided to spend the evening at the pool. We got changed and placed a mobile order for Roaring Fork. Doug had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with fries and a Coke, while I had the Tuna Sandwich with chips. We divided and conquered. Doug waited for the food at Roaring Fork, and I headed to Geyser Point for drinks as Blue Moon wasn’t available at Roaring Fork. I quickly grabbed Doug a Miller Lite and a Blue Moon for myself, and we met up at the Boulder Ridge pool. We found a table in the back corner and dug in.
Apparently before I took photos! My sandwich was massive. I only ate half and saved most of the chips for later. Doug enjoyed his, and it was gone quickly. We took a dip in the pool and eventually made our way to the hot tub for a bit.
Around 8:40, we dried ourselves off and headed back to our room. We were excited to see what the view of the fireworks would be from there. I took a quick shower and changed into dry clothes. We found the channel on the TV with the fireworks music.
And here it is! I didn’t take many photos as I just wanted to watch, but this will give you a point of reference. We couldn’t see much of the low stuff due to the trees, but it was a great view of all of the higher fireworks.
I was starting to feel the bugs bite pretty immediately, and I didn’t want to use bug spray since I’d just showered. We ended up lying across the bed for the remainder of the show.
Terrible photo, but it was still a great view from inside on the bed.
