Yesterday we went to MGM for rope drop. We got FPs for RnRC, then we rode ToT. DS decided to give it a try - he said he liked it OK this time.
We walked over to get a FP for Toy Story as soon as we were eligible and our return time was 4:10 PM (at 9:45 in the morning). We rode RnRC. We tried to do the Jedi thing, but it was cancelle3d because it was sprinkling. We went to Pizza Planet for an early lunch, and it POURED while we were in there. After that we just sort of gave up and came back to AKV.
Dinner was at Cape May, then we went to Epcot for EMH with Janet & her boys.
Today we went to AK for rope drop. We got our FPs for Everest, then we walked along both animal trails. The gorillas were fabulous, as always. I think DH got some good pics of them. We saw a family win a $500 shopping spree from the Dream Squad, so that was kind of fun. We all agree that there seem to be fewer Dream Squad members this year. We typically see maybe one pair of them on their way to award a prize each day. It looks like maybe one group per park per day are winning dream Fast Passes and that's about it. We have seen a pitiful smattering of dream ears and even fewer dream pin lanyards.
We rode Everest, then the rain started up AGAIN. We came back to AKV for a nap. We got up in time for 3 PM pin trading. DH and DS went to the arcade from there, and I went to the culinary tour at Jiko.
The tour is just a little talk about Jiko's decor, then an overview of the menu by a chef. We got to sample some little breads and dips. From there we went over to Boma for a tour of the buffet offerings, and a sample of one of the soups and a zebra dome.
Tonight is dinner at Boma and then we're headed to MGM for Fantasmic.
