Day Six
I lay in bed, just feeling
lazy. I finally got out of bed, and
dressed. I am going to have dinner at Le
Cellier. Some
years ago the restaurant manager was intrigued by me wearing my Nathans Hot Dog eating t-shirt, she
thought I was a contestant. I told her I
wasn’t, but felt better if I said I did.
So I am wearing that again today.
Interesting
side note about this shirt. I wore it last year to watch Illuminations in
the handicap area. While watching the
show, I felt things dropping on me.
Later when I got back to my resort, I had scorch marks on the shirt from
burning embers.
I am heading to the
I may be funny this way, but
this is one photo I don’t share till after I check out. :)

I go get my DAS pass signed
for Winnie The Pooh.
Then I went on It’s a Small World.
Here is my video of It’s a Small World, which I
nicknamed Tiny Planet.
I had a bit of a wait as they
were overwhelmed with scooters and wheel chairs. First time ever I had that situation. I then go on Winnie the Pooh. Here is my Winnie the Pooh video.
I was thinking maybe going on
Once in the Polynesian, I
head towards the bathrooms by ‘Ohana to plug in my
scooter to charge.
The Polynesian is currently
being remodeled. While on the second
floor, you could look over the middle down to the first floor. Now it is boarded up for the construction.
I check in at Kona Café. The place
looks very empty, but there is still a bit of a weight. I am told due to ongoing construction, they
are only operating at 50% capacity.
For the appetizer I pay out
of pocket for the pot stickers.
For the entrée…. Teriyaki Steak.
for dessert, I stay away from the Kona
Kone, instead I get Warm Apple Tart.
After lunch, I decide to
explore the Poly for Captain Cook’s. For
some reason I never went near this place.
I found it :)
I took the monorail back to
Magic Kingdom. Before I entered the
I bought some things and wanted to ship it back to my resort. I was told they can only ship items to the
other Monorail resorts only. Oh well.
I went back and entered the

I stopped and looked around
the Emporium. I didnt
find anything to buy. I did ask about my purchases from the Contemporary, if
they can ship my merchandise back to the resort, but they only ship merchandise that is
purchased there. Oh well.
I did Buzz Lightyear, and here is that video.
I then crossed the park to
the new part of New Fantasyland via
I used my Fast Pass Plus for the new Little Mermaid Ride in New
Fantasyland. Here is that video.

When I made it to Epcot, I went into guest services and added a 4th
I then went over to World
Showcase and checked in at Le Cellier. I usually ask about walkups, when they say
no, I tell them good, I have a ADR. This year I don’t. One thing about eating
solo. You cant
help but overhear other peoples conversations.
Sometimes you want to jump in and correct what people think is
true. But I keep quiet.
Something
new at Le Cellier. The menus have
lights in them to help read them in the darkness of the dining room.
I start off with Cheddar
Cheese Soup with bacon and Moosehead Beer.
I get the rib eye for my
entrée.
and for dessert…. Not a memorable one, I had to look it
up to see what it was.
Looking at the menu’s online…
this is what I am guessing I had…… Smoking Chocolate Mousse
Grand Marnier, Almond Crunch, Cinnamon Marshmallow, Dark Chocolate
Bark. Not something memorable.. is
it. I guess the chocolate Mousse fooled
me.
Sorry about the dark photos, but Le Cellier is very dark. Which is why they needed the lighted
menu. Something else about the
menu. Looking at the prices, I thought
the steak was $17. But while eating, I
didn’t think that would be right. So I
looked at the menu on my smartphone and the steak was $49. The $17 was the recommended wine that that
goes with the rib eye steak.
After eating at Le Cellier, I take the path to the studios.
Once in the studios, I stop
by guest services, I had the partially torn ticket from the Fantasmic
Dinner Package from the rainout on the 7th. I explain what happened and
they issue me a new ticket for tonight's performance. I was told the
night it was canceled that I can see another show within 5 days since I paid
extra for the package. I don’t know if I could have just said I was there
Sunday, produce my torn ticket with the date? or they expect everyone to get a new ticket at guest
services.
At the entrance to the
theater, I show them my new ticket, they send me up
the way to the theater. Once there, they
escort me to where I can park my scooter, then escort
me to the dining room reserved section.
Show was good, I did stream
it live. Here is my hi def video of the show.
Here is the video I
broadcasted live, which included the preshow
entertainment.
This time I really waited for
the theater to empty before I attempted to move. Still
tough to do. Wait at bus stops was terrible. once I got on the bus, the bus driver asked if I mind
sitting on the scooter for the ride back to Pop. I knew it was a short
ride, so I did it.
Once back at the resort, I
change into my bathing suit and go for a late nite
swim. This is the first time with the
new pool rules. It is almost
When I entered the pool I
noticed they had lots of lifeguards around the pool. I am used to seeing none when the sun goes
does.
Right on the dot, at
