Once we got back, I took obligatory room pictures before we made a huge mess by unpacking. Our room was 3526 and it had been recently renovated, so the beds were new. I prefer the new style, it’s nice to be able to shove a suitcase underneath the bed out of the way. The carpet looked like the same old stuff, but it was fine.
The bathrooms had been completely renovated, and were really nice! The flooring was nice, and the bathroom felt very big (although I know it's the same size as they've always been). It did now have the wall-attached shampoo/conditioner instead of the travel-sized ones from years past, but we don’t mind that.
We were on the second floor, and I loved our view from our balcony!
Luke took a shower while I unpacked a bit and changed into clean clothes for supper – including my new MU spirit jersey from the outlet. These were still being sold on property for full price, so I have no idea why this one was at the outlet, I haven’t been able to find anything wrong with it… but for $20 I’m very happy to have found it! For those interested, my leggings are from Silver Icing, which is one of the multi-level selling companies but they are some of the nicest leggings I own (I’d say comparable in price and quality to Lulu Lemon). Don't worry - I don't sell, I'm just going to try and keep this report updated with where I got my outfits
Our dining reservation was in Disney Springs, so we decided we wanted to take the boat (there is an option for a bus from OKW as well). The only place to catch the boat is from the main building, so we walked back out there. I enjoyed this Captain Marvel bus way too much, and had to take a picture of it…
We had perfect timing, and the boat pulled up to the dock about 90 seconds after we arrived.
Taking the boat from OKW to Disney Springs is such a nice, relaxing way to spend 20 minutes! We arrived and our first stop was the new ticket centre. My annual pass had been active since December, but Luke had purchased a 10-day Park Hopper ticket with the Canadian discount for this trip. The next morning we had very specific plans so we made sure his tickets were active tonight to save time.
We then headed off to our supper reservation at our favourite Disney restaurant –
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ (or Che Fartsmith if you're as cool as
@pepperandchips and I
).
After eating, we were exhausted so we hopped a bus back to OKW and went straight to bed after I took a shower. Tomorrow promised to be a very exciting day!
Edit: I totally forgot that I actually took screenshots from my Fitbit for each day! I’m positive mine doesn’t read correctly, Luke always has a few thousand more steps in a Disney day than I do, yet we’re usually not far away from each other...
