DAY 7
We had a glitch in our planning today, but since we cancelled some of our ADRs, it was easy to flip flop Days 7 & 8. DS is an actor and is in a play that goes up in February. He brought his script to work on on the plane and in the evenings when we got home, but he received an email with a ton of changes added. So he said he would have to stay at the villa and work on that for awhile. I switched up some FP+s and luckily things worked out. I managed to free up this evening and tomorrow morning, something me and my aching back could use as well, then put the rest of us at Epcot WS tomorrow night, since that isn't something DS really likes to do.
But on this day, we went to Hollywood Studios. Second breakfast was at Starring Rolls, and again, I am thankful for Starbucks coming in over at the Trolley Car Cafe, if only to keep the line down over at Starring Rolls! I knew immediately that I wanted a Butterfinger Cupcake. I went in to make sure they had them, told DH to get me one with a coffee, then went out to scope out a table. The coffee was very tasty here! DH and DS got the Cinnamon Bun, which was PF but they ar now spoiled by the massive Cinnamon Roll from Gaston's! DD ordered a Cheese Danish and orange juice. I hate that they charge $4.29 for an orange juice and regret that I didn't just order that from Garden Grocer, to give her her OJ fix. Yep, could have turned in some of those bananas for a gallon of OJ!! Anyway, I couldn't wait to share my cupcake with all of them - since you really can't eat a whole one by yourself, with all that frosting! Of course, when I try to cut through it . . . FROZEN again. Gosh. I had to more or less stab down through it, and it broke apart. We all shared it, though, and it was still delicious. An additional note - I saw people ordering the turkey sandwich at this time (around 10am), so if you needed a really early lunch, you could do that at Starring Rolls.
We had an ADR for lunch at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre. We all love it here, more for the setting and the tradition, so this is one ADR that we would never cancel. We each like it for different reasons. DD likes the food, DS loves the just plain fun he has here, and DH thinks eating in the cars is cool. Me, I love the relaxing environment. Yes - relaxing!!! First, we always do lunch, and it is wonderful to walk into the calming darkness and get out of the midday sun. Second, the cars are set up in a way that hampers a lot of conversation. And third, the movies clips are playing and most folks are content to eat and watch them, even the kiddos! Now, if there was a way to turn off the drive-in speaker that hangs on the car, I would be a happy woman. For food, DD ordered her usual - Spinach & Artichoke dip, a Rueben, and an Oreo Cookie milkshake.
