Disney Trip Report
I'm back from a Spring Break trip to Disney. Here are a few highlights:
1) Wishes and Dinner at the California Grill - This was not my first time watching Wishes from atop the Contemporary, although now they have such privileges reserved only for guests who are dining. Since I had never eaten there before, I decided we'd give it a try. The meal was ( Read more... )
1.) I've only ever eaten at the California Grille once, and it was 9 years ago, and I can still remember what I had. In fact, my Dad and stepmom and I all got the same thing and we loved it.
3.) I stayed at the CBR in '03 and I really liked it. I enjoy the aesthetic and the fact that it's a bit closer to Epcot.
6.) I'm honestly surprised that it's still so popular when it's been open for a good, what, 4 years now? The Soarin' out here in California draws a decent crowd, but the wait times aren't nearly as bad as what it always seems to be in FL. Every time I ride it out here, I kinda laugh to myself and think, "Suckers!" about everyone in Orlando who is waiting 2.5 hours to ride.
9.) I love the new incarnation of the food court. The old one was so gross and I used to have to do an occasional custodial shift in there and I remember just being nauseated by the smell of barbecue and macaroni after so many hours. I've eaten at the new Sunshine Seasons a few times and I've always enjoyed it.
11.) I really enjoy this attraction, especially seeing all the presidents and Ben Franklin walking up the stairs, but I will admit that I've fallen asleep in it more than once. It's just so relaxing...
12.) I think even as of when I was last there, EMH were getting really popular and crowded. It's gotten to the point where some people have changed their strategy and make it a point to go to a park the morning after its EMHs because, in theory, all the guests who would have been there that night won't be there the next day and it won't be so crowded. I've taken advantage of it a few times myself and I must say it's pretty nice to have that to look forward to and take a hotel nap in the meantime.
