Tue, 12:10: Blurrgfire (lemonade, pomegranate, habanero-lime). Don’t know what’s dripping down the rim. 😄 or as bartender says, spicy lemonade https://t.co/4dwljeT0vJ
Tue, 14:24: Went to Smugglers Run single rider line after Oga’s. No one ahead of us, short wait to get on a vehicle. Both of us rode with a dad and his 2 girls. Girls piloted 😂 . They tried! We didn’t do well but it sure could have been worse. Girls maybe 5 and 7?
Tue, 14:26: Looked at Toy Story Land stuff, lines too long. Did Mickey Shorts instead , very cute.
Tue, 15:20: Left the Studios, took the Skyliner full run to kill time sitting down (though you do have to change cars). Studios to Caribbean Beach to Pop to Caribbean Beach to Riviera to Epcot. Then walked to Beach Club to Beaches and Cream.
Tue, 16:44: Skyliner back to HS, we each head to our resort bus. I’ll pick Mark up at 8:45 tonight and we’ll drive the the Contemporary for late dinner at California Grill
Tue, 16:48: After some discussion we cancelled our Thursday “breakfast timed for after a morning in a park” at Trails End. I switched my park reservation to Epcot and will try to get a slot in the virtual queue for Ratatouille at 7 am that morning. Mark kept his MK pass
Tue, 19:51: A little chilly tonight, no takers for movie in the courtyard at POFQ. (Incredibles 2). I could watch from the landing outside my room…but am getting ready to go out for dinner https://t.co/0po6MELfiw
Tue, 21:31: Late dinner reservation for the California Grill on top of the Contemporary at 9:45. We checked in at about 9:10, and our table was ready immediately which is great. Still very late for me to have dinner much less a 3 course meal
Tue, 21:52: Cali Grill: we are in the wine room (I think) on the Bay Lake side, away from the Magic Kingdom views. But the MK fireworks are done for the night, and we have views of the distant Epcot fireworks plus the Electrical Water Pageant
Tue, 22:04: Cali Grill: First course was a bit rushed, arriving on the heels of the bread (focaccia and roasted tomatoes in olive oil). We both got short rib wontons with a crispy chile-garlic sauce and a sweeter second sauce. Excellent https://t.co/kAxzfJvVAb
Tue, 22:30: Cali Grill: my entree was the oak-grilled filet with salt roasted potatoes and cauliflower. Didn’t photograph it because I was distracted by the view. Water Pageant has a new scene for the 50th https://t.co/VHNWxsIzpA
Wed, 10:07: After the late night neither Mark not I wanted early park time. I slept in a bit then lazed in my room, have now caught the first bus to Disney Springs (right at 10 am). From there I’ll get a bus to the Poly and meet Mark for “breakfast” at Ohana close to noon
Wed, 11:21: Security at Disney Springs is lighter for resort bus traffic, makes sense. Funnels arrivals through a bottleneck with a security person and dog.
Wed, 11:23: Lovely day, I sat on the shaded back patio of Starbucks with my cold brew and enjoyed the 75 degrees and light breezy weather. In the sun, that’s a bit warm, as I discovered as I waited nearly 20 min for a bus to the Poly
