I arrived on Southwest Airlines about 10 minutes late, and used my coupon to get a round trip ticket to Disney via Mears for $25.00. I had to wait about 15 minutes for the bus and arrived at Boardwalk in less than an hour. I checked in and was told that my room was ready. I got a preferred view facing the Boardwalk. I was in one of those rooms right under the "waves" you can see on the Boardwalk. I left my luggage in the room and headed out to eat. The boat was just leaving from the pier when I arrived, so I walked to the International Gateway. There, I exchanged my voucher for my AP and entered Epcot. I had decided to try Alfredo's in Italy this time, as I had never eaten there before. So, I walked there and was seated without a PS reservation. It was about 12:15 pm. I ordered the spaghetti with meatballs. (Meatballs $3.00 extra.) The total bill was $18.25 including the tip. The meal and service was good. I had already begun to feel the heat, so I might have rated it even higher if I had arrived in cooler weather. In fact, the high temperature tended to put a damper on everything I did during this visit. I then bought one of the Italian chocolate galatos (Italian ice cream).
After eating the ice cream and watching some clowns perform, I went to Norway and rode the Malestorm with about a 10 minute wait. I skipped the movie and continued to Mexico, where I rode their boat ride with no wait. I rode the new Journey to the Imagination (no wait.) I still prefer the version before the previous one with Figment more predominant. I agree with others that it just looked like he was stuck in this one. I then made my way to Spaceship Earth and rode that, also with no wait. By now the heat had taken it all out of me (especially since I had to leave at 5:00 am for the airport,) and I set out to go back to Boardwalk. I was so tired that I flopped on the bed and fell asleep at about 6:30 pm. I heard the fireworks of Illuminations (which I'm sure I could have seen from my balcony) but just was too worn out to get up to look. I slept till 10:00 the next morning.

Is that allowed at WDW?
