Ponzi, don’t your fingers get tired with all this typing?
At the end of each Disney day...
Note! I said End of each Disney day NOT the end of each chapter!
NOT the end of the TR!
All right already! Settle down.
At the end of each Disney day, I will post one picture that I will indicate is the contest picture.
The first person to correctly identify what and where the photo is will get points.
If you guess where, you get partial points.
This sounds complicated. Sure you’ll be able to keep this straight?
Plus, there'll be bonus points awarded on a totally random basis.
(i.e. I'm lazy and if I forget, or don't wanna... oh well.)
There’s the disclaimer.
The winner will receive* some of....
These:
Define “some.”
That enough incentive for ya?
See above.
Easy, right? Right.
So, with that out of the way, shall I continue?
No, just keep blathering…er..I mean giving us important information.
After being up for so long the day before and only getting five hours of sleep,
you'd think that I might have some difficulty waking up this early.
Not on the first day.
I had four more mornings and four more showers.
That feeling never went away the whole time.
Every morning.
Shower.
Pull back shower curtain.
See water on floor.
Gasp!
Feel like I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar.
Remember that it was supposed to happen.
Still feel guilty.
Didn’t someone once define insanity as repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
I grabbed a pre-printed envelope, stuffed five bucks in it for mousekeeping,
put it on the bed and was ready to go.
I’m curious if you got special treatment for being generous. We usually tip pretty well throughout the stay so we get towel animals. Now that we have DVC though we don’t get mousekeeping until the 4th day. The thing that really makes me crazy about this is that they only provide two coffee packets and when I ask for more they give me a hard time. I’m sending an
Amazon pantry box this year.
I closed the room door, tried my magic band, just to reassure myself that it still worked
(it did)
See above definition of insanity.
Five minutes later I was grabbing an OJ from the food court and making my way around the building to the bus stop.
No breakfast? I don’t think OJ is going to cut it.
I do believe that while your transportation experience may vary from ride to ride,
the biggest impact will be from your own attitude and/or familiarity with busses.
Or actually waiting…
Best bus service at any resort I’ve stayed at was Coronado. Also, I found I could always get an empty lounger at their pool.
And I was on my way to my first park of the trip!
Which one will it be? Guesses?
Finally! That felt like an eternity waiting for you to get on the bus.
I was planning on park hopping at least one day.
My guess…Today?
Wow! This rope drop thing is really becoming a thing!
I'm glad I hadn't slept a little longer,
or spent the time to towel off the bathroom floor.
Although when you consider there could be 20,000 people passing through on any given day, it’s probably a pretty small percentage.
You got there early, you scoped out all the possible entries.
You picked the one where there was only one person in front of you...
And he doesn't know how to use his magic band and finger print.
It is a little tricky the first time.
I didn't have any fast passes for the morning...
(What? Why not! Oh, settle down. You'll see eventually.)
Because you have them at another park that you will be visting later?
Disney does not scrimp on the details, I'll definitely give them that!
Especially at that park.
so can you blame me for what happened when I finally got a chance to sit down???
Funny. Did you research where the cameras were on all the rides?
Are you kidding me?! That’s the second ride? What about the safari? It’s far superior!
I decided to sashay over towards Kilimanjaro Safaris and see what the wait time was.
Maybe I'll go for a ride and see some critters.
Phew.
I'd already hiked the various trails.
Aren’t they a bit different each time since they are populated with live animals?
I'd already been on Prime Evil Whirl... and don't ever intend to be caught on it again.
I like that ride except for the time the heavens opened up on us and we got completely drenched by a tropical storm.
You can go to any amusement park in the world and buy souvenirs.
But how many have the actual artisans creating the wares right in front of you?
And a lot of the stuff is pretty reasonably priced. My daughter had a leather bracelet with her name engraved in it. She has an unusual name so she always likes the opportunity to have something personalized.
But several times, I'd start to compose a shot,
fully realizing that people were about to walk in front of the camera... and prepared to wait...
and people would usually stop, so as not to be in my way.
I always wait if I see someone with a camera. Sometimes I’m oblivious to it though.
Great chapter, Ponzi.
