Day three
I don’t know if they have
this in other areas of the country. But
here in the
CI for
I wanted to get a pennant
that said
Remember my missing table
service meal credit? When I got up, I
called the front desk and inquired about it.
They looked at where the credits were spent and right away noticed that
they charged me twice at Boma for breakfast
yesterday. The credited me back the
extra credit.
I was also pretty tired having
gotten to sleep at
I guess the dining credit
issue was bothering me, for as it was solved I was starting to get hungry. So I
am glad I kept the ADR. When checking in
at restaurants, they frequently ask what resort you are staying at, if on
property. I never understood why till
now. I half joking/half serious thought
that they sat you according to resort level.
The CM doing the check in stated to the people in front of me, some
guests forget items at the table, so they know where to send the forgotten
items to which resort. Makes sense.
Now my knowledge of grits is
limited to what I saw in the movie, My Cousin Vinney. I see a tray and I take some. I don’t know what it is supposed to taste
like, but it’s pretty tasteless to me J And here is the photo.
I am not one to mingle with
the characters. I have some eggs,
omelets, Apple juice, and chocolate milk. And I am done here.
After eating, I head over to
do Buzz Lightyear ride. Not a good score.
I am going with the defective
gun excuse J In the
queue itself, Buzz Lightyear is missing. The space where he should be is covered up.
After Buzz, I do Carousel of
Progress. After COP, I have a Fastpass plus for the new Under the Sea: Journey of the
little Mermaid.
On the way out of Tomorrowland, I pass PUSH, the talking moving trash can.
People are amazed at this,
since it is interacting with the guests.
I do find the attraction ok,
but I go on the wrong line. Instead of
using my FP+, I entered the normal standby line. I figure this out since I am walking too
much. The queue is nice, has some
imagery trickery, but I just keep walking.
Here is a photo of the entrance.
You see the ECV entering the
queue? That is the standby line. On the
right side of the photo is the FP line.
Except for the clock you see, that is the only hint that you enter over
there.
Here is the first video.
After riding it the first
time, I use my fastpass plus to ride it a second
time.
Here is that video.
After that I decide to get a orange soft serve ice cream. Going by It’s a Tiny Planet, I am amazed that
there is a honest to goodness line, the posted wait
time shows 10 minutes for the standby.
I have my orange swirl ice cream J
I decide to head back to my
resort to rest. Being up so late last
night is getting to me. Fighting
fatigued. I don’t have any lunch plans,
only dinner at
On the way down
There was no bounce back
offer in my room, as I usually find. I
tell people constantly that if they don’t have any offers in their room, to ask
the concierge desk if they know of any.
Just because you don’t have one in your room, it doesn’t mean there
isn’t any available. Back at my resort,
I stop by my resort’s concierge desk to inquire about any bounce back
offers. The person I spoke to at the
desk advised me that they currently don’t have any. He said he just inquired to management when
another guest asked. To
call 407 Wdisney and ask if they know of any.
I send a
email out saying there is no bounce back offers. Mike emails me back saying to check my
welcome material. I do check and don’t
find any.
Back in my room, I find this
towel animal in my window.
They make my bed like this
with another towel.
And this
towel animal by my sink.
After sleeping for a couple
of hours, I am heading back to the
Being on the basic dining
plan, appetizers are not included, but I want the onion soup from here, so I
order it and will pay for it.
I get the NY Strip Steak for
my entrée. For dessert I get the Boston Cream Pie.
After eating, I head to the
monorail to go back to the
I first find the Fast pass
reserve area, where they direct me to the handicap area. The reason I missed it when I went by it is
because they don’t have the rope up. I
find the CM in charge and she shows me the boundary of where the ropes will be.
Since I have the canopy on
the scooter, I park it in the back and sit down on the floor by the curb. Guest after guest, not knowing this is a
reserved area because there is still no rope sit down
next to me, only to be chased away by the CM.
I also broadcast this live on Ustream besides
using my new camera to take video. I
like to see how this camera works at night to take video.
Here is the hidef version of MSEP.
Here is the Ustream version.
After the parade, I know I am
too close to the castle to see the Wishes fireworks show good, so I start to
look for a better location. I am down on
Here is the video of the
show.
I do record Wishes. I do have a good view of above the castle,
but I have people blocking me every so often.
Here is the Ustream version.
Here is the hidef version.
After Wishes was over, The park closed so I was part of the mass exit. Usual problems of too many people.
At the bus station for Pop Century, when I got to the front of the maze. I went
through the gate with another guests help. The cm saw and asked if
I went through the maze or not. Told her yes. She
thanked me.
Back at the resort, I do see
inside a pamphlet titled Be Our Guest, there was a bounce back offer in the
middle. I thought this just had to do
with the new restaurant or Fantasyland.
But it’s a welcome booklet for the whole resort. Before leaving, I will call in and
do the offer.
