First 2 days (Sun/Mon)
Sunday - The check in line @ GCH was insane!
I was pleasantly surprised with how light the crowds were, I was really expecting it to be much busier!
Mickey beignets are still my fave.
Garlic cheddar twists with marinara make an awesome snack.
It was pretty hot during the day but cooled down quickly in the evening (I needed a light sweatshirt)
The wall around Bug’s Land is a huge bummer, and an even bigger bummer is no longer having the shortcut from Cars Land.
I’m once again very happy with the choice to stay at GCH, and room 5313 is an awesome room! King bed, woods view with a peek of DTD across the way, solid wall balcony (privacy), close to Napa elevators, new shower/no tub. Everything I wanted, and the only actual request was the shower part, lol
Monday - It was much busier, but still tolerable.
Finally got MaxPass today for the first time... It. Was. Awesome.
The French toast breakfast at Flo’s is very yummy, more of a bread pudding (almost dessert IMO), but the bananas and caramel sauce were SO good!
Mornings at DCA are still my favorite.
No wait for the monorail was so much nicer than the looooooong lines to get into DL, and it took us right to our FP at SM.
A mid-day break/nap may have to be my new routine... my feet need the break!
I like Pixar Pier, and think they did a pretty good job with it, but I like Pixar anyway... will be nice when completely finished.
DTD needs help... there are too many empty shops now. However, I LOVE the Disney Home and Disney Dress Shops!
Again, there have been several accounts of rude or unfriendly CMs, but almost everyone I have come in contact with so far has been very smiley, friendly, helpful, and generally nice and cheerful! With all the talk about it in recent weeks, I was expecting less from them, but have seen nothing of the sort... I’ll try to remember to take some pics (I’m really bad at that) and will post another round of random thoughts in a couple more days...
