We've tried WCC a few times for lunch or dinner, but we've never tried Artist Point. Everything y'all had looked delicious! 
I LOVE bleu cheese!! 
Day 1 continued
In our last chapter, I had drawn a hideous little critter and was trying to decide where to go next. It was just about 9:00 and the first showing of Fantasmic was about to begin. I had decided to leave it up to how I was feeling if I wanted to see the first or second show. At this point I decided that I still had a lot of energy and would wait for the second so on I went to pay my due respects to the man who started it all
I just took my time wandering through One Mans Dream and thanking him for his amazing vision.
These always bring a tear to my eye
I saw the movie at the end, something we had skipped in 2008. It was a very nice story about Walts life and work! More tears were shed
I stepped out into the warm evening and pondered whether I would be using that long sleeve shirt I was carrying with me. Those of you who followed my PTR remember that I had much angst about finding the right park bag because I needed one that was large enough to carry the shirt during the day because with average lows dipping down into the 60s, I surely would need it in the mornings and evenings. However, as I shared in the first post, it was much hotter than average and you wont be surprised that this was the only time I carried that shirt. It was left in the room the next morning to never appear again! (having said that, I still loved my baggallini so the angst wasnt for nothing!)
By this time, the first F! showing was finished and I decided to wander that way figuring I wouldnt be able to squeeze in anything else and I would just grab a seat and wait. Of course I would never have gotten to over 3,000 pictures if I hadnt snapped some along the way!
So I joined a quickly growing crowd waiting to be let into the theater and I waited and waited and waited! It was dark and I couldnt see my watch so I dont really know how long it was but judging by the time stamps on my pictures, it was 20-30 minutes. BUT with my new soak-it-in outlook I decided to pass the time by taking pictures of the nicely illuminated palm trees cant get that sight in Iowa!
Up until now, I had thought a few times that I wished my kids were with me but found I was really enjoying being able to just wander doing what I felt like. I also stopped to appreciate the fact that I wasnt one of the parents desperately trying to entertain their kids during that long wait
Finally we were let in and I found a great seat. Dead center, end of the row, about 15 rows up! I honestly had forgotten how much I loved this show! I would have loved my pictures to turn out better during the nighttime shows but they are OK for a little point and shoot I guess
This one was a fluke (I really just pointed the camera and pressed the shutter and hoped something would turn out) but I kind of like it
As I made my way out of the theater I once again stopped to appreciate that I could walk by the sea of strollers and not have to carry a tired or cranky child onto the bus and back to the room. So I said goodnight to Hollywood Studios
And as I rode the bus back to CSR, I tried to decide what I wanted to do the next morning about my unhappy room location. Was it worth the hassle????
What great updates!! I'm sorry your room was icky though. I'm not really a germaphone but obviously that room was NOT clean. Bummer.
Your food looks delish! I will definitely have to put that Artist Point on my list, especially because Wilderness Lodge is my dream resort and I've never even see it. I just love that style too.
I finally made it back over here and got all caught up again! You got some great pics of HS. And yay for free drinks!I know someone else who really liked a blinking ice cube...
I know how much you were looking forward to Artist Point and WL... so glad you enjoyed it! Hang in there on the wish... sometimes they take a while to come true. But that wishing spot has a pretty good track record!
We loved both WL and AP!
