Day 5
shirt of the day, a gift from
2 years ago, I was there J
nice day out
Today is a Epcot day. Wearing a Epcot t-shirt. When
I upgraded to deluxe dining, I added and trying for the first time Garden Grill
inside The Land Pavilion. This is a
character dining experience on a rotating platform. This is all you can eat served family
style. This is one of the few places
inside Epcot that serve breakfast.
They bring a bowl
of fresh fruit and a large plate of sticky buns.
Later on they
bring a skillet of scrambled eggs, bacon, tator tots,
sausage, and mickey waffle.
Even though I like to drink Orange Juice
better then Apple Juice, when eating out, I always get Apple Juice because I
like Pulp free Orange Juice and always afraid that it will have pulp in
it. Apple Juice never has pulp.
I have one mickey
waffle, cause you need to have at least one.. don’t you?
Other wise I stick to the scrambled eggs and
bacon. I just have seconds on the eggs and bacon, I don’t keep eating
till I am ready to puck, I take care of my bill and head off.
Bill
talk. $116-$38=$78.
This is little on the expensive side for a breakfast. I guess because it is a character meal. Some characters stop by. I just waved and
kept on eating.
I cross to the
other side of the park and ride Test Track with a
I go to Mission
Space to get a DAS return time, instead they allow me
to ride right then. Here is that video.
I again use my sunglasses camera.
I do some window shopping Mouse Gears, nothing
interests me. One of the things I like
to look for is a prop from the original Journey into Imagination, the first
opening day attraction.
Still
there. It’s the Dreamcatcher.
It’s a little
early to head to Le Cellier for my
and the bill….
Le Cellier is a two credit meal. So I will be using two meal
credits for this meal. So I have to redo
my math. $116 for 3 meal credits is
$38.67. Times that for 4 credits usage
today is $154.67. $154.67 - $38 =
$116.67. Subtract lunch leaves me $31.38
for dinner before I come out ahead.
I
start traveling around World Showcase, so first up is the American Adventure.
Here is Scootercam video leaving
As usually, I park my scooter all the way in
the back, sit second row. First row was closed off. I do find
myself nodding off, its not that I was bored, just not sleeping enough.. like doing these recaps till 1
am.
I stop by
Next up is Gran Fiesta Tour. While the Mexican Pavilion is open,
only when you get to the ride entrance, you are told the ride is currently down
due to a technical issue. So I leave the pavilion, not sure where I am
heading next.
One of the hot
items for Flower and Garden this year is a little orange bird one of the booths
are selling. Stories of 1 hour plus waiting to purchase
this item has been floating for weeks. I walked by the stand and
within 10 minutes, I was drinking from it. I asked the worker, she said
yes, when they first started to sell it, demand was crazy, but has since
quieted down.
I go and ride
Frozen. There is a party of 2 wheel chairs in front of me. One is
allowed in, the second is refused, the worker said she has no FP for Frozen, so
she cant ride. I don’t pay too much attention,
but I don’t believe she rode. Here is that video.
Leaving Frozen, I get a new
I create a
Afterwards I
cancel my FP for LWTL and create a new one for Soarin
again, and ride that again.
I say on Facebook that I will do a live broadcast of Illuminations:
Reflections of Earth tonight.
I ride around
world showcase trying to waste time before I eat at Spice Road Table, give up
and check in about 40 minutes early. Here is the view of World Showcase Lagoon
from my table.
While I
got the same items I had last time,
Garlic Shrimp
NY Strip
Chocolate Pyramid with
Ice Cream
.. wait a minute, let me back up what I did yesterday. My
original plan was eating at ‘Ohana on Monday and
Wednesday. On Tuesday, started to rethink my plans and changed eating at
‘Ohana to
And
the bill…
I had $31.38 left
on my dining plan. This meal cost
$62. I came out ahead over $30 using the
dining plan.
I stop by the
outdoor train set and watch it. Rumors are saying this land will be a new
future pavilion minus the trains.
Gran Fiesta Tour is working now and go inside and ride it.
The last scene you have three audio animatronic figures singing. There is a problem with
how it sounds. So this must have been what kept them from opening the
attraction. So they either got it partially working, or couldn’t fix it
totally now.
I am feeling a
little run down, not sick, just not enough sleep, so I decided instead of
watching Illuminations tonight, will head back to my room. I went for a
little swim in the pool near my resort building. It was a little chilly
tonight, so I went to my room and raised the room temperature to 80. Just
to make sure I don’t get sick. As soon as I didn’t feel
a chill, lowered it back down to 65.
Tomorrow is my
one and only day for Animal Kingdom. Not sure what shirt I am going to
wear for that. I am having breakfast and dinner at Boma.
Lunch at Yak N Yeti. Then Rivers
of Light dessert party. Second from last day for this trip Its only Wedneday, but
feeling depressed that the trip is almost over.
