Yes, there is some scaffolding on the pool side. And fencing with brown tarp...
I do know about the parking lot shortcut. I took it my first morning. There was a security van sitting near the "out of bounds" area....unoccupied.
Sorry for lack of updates....
We had an emergency back home. My dad injured his knee and was in the hospital for over 15 hours yesterday. Since my parents were staying at our home to take care of our animals, I had to arrange for people to take care of the pets and feed the dogs. Not the easiest task from from so far away, and on a moments notice....
Dad was release with pain meds, crutches and will have to see the ortho surgeon today. Hoping for some ok news there! Mom's already nervous he will do further harm to himself with crutches, lol
On to the good stuff!
We are having a super time! The weather has been sunny and pleasant, each day creeping up a few degrees warmer!
We've eaten at Mythos, The Kitchen, Finnegan's, Red Oven Pizza, and some quick service places.
The lemon blueberry crepe from the stand in Studios was divine!!!!! Stop at this crepe stand!!
All the food and service has been really great so far---really no complaints at all.
We've been a bit unlucky in regards to ride delays. I realize its always possible for a ride to experience a delay, but it's been more noticeable during this visit for some reason. We've experienced delays of 15+ minutes on Rip Ride Rocket, Gringotts, Fast and Furious, Velocicoaster (twice), Hogwarts Express train, and Hagrids.
We watched the Macys Parade last night, it's as cute as ever!
Bonus: No wind and temps held out, so I didn't need to buy a sweatshirt after dark, lol!

The best red sauce I have ever had was when my cousin in law (at the time) made his special sauce from scratch. He let it cook all day...I have never had a sauce that even came close to it.Yeah, sometimes I use bottled and sometimes I make my own red sauce, Metro. Yep, we like Italian food too. Pasta, rice and potatoes are are usual carb.
Oh no. Hope all went well with the ortho surgeon. Prayers for a quick recovery.We had an emergency back home. My dad injured his knee and was in the hospital for over 15 hours yesterday.
I really want to go back to the crepe stand and try the dessert crepes. I had the smoked brisket one when I was there and it was really good.The lemon blueberry crepe from the stand in Studios was divine!!!!! Stop at this crepe stand!!
Hope IT gets that worked out for you soon.Ah, connectivity issues persist since yesterday. Same today, with no resolution time stated.
Time does seem to be moving quickly lately. I'm just thankful I don't have to host any holidays.Thanksgiving is a week from Thursday seems like the holidays are coming fast this year for some reason.
It is not fun to drive in when it's compacted down on the roads with zero traction. Good thing right now it's still warm enough for road salt to clear it away, it's when it's in the extreme cold when the salt doesn't work and the roads become very slick and lots of black ice. It makes me a litt;eSometimes I wouldn't mind some snow like we used to get in Virginia...as long as I didn't have to drive in it. There is nothing better than to sit in front of a nice fire and watch the snow come down...everything is so quiet since the snow absorbs sounds. I used to love that...but again...only if I didn't have to drive in it.
Sigh...some days I know I don't Some of us deal with it better than others. My version of winter is running from building to vehicle to building and vice versa. We all do what we need to so that we get through.Yikes! I don’t think I would function well in a Canadian winter.
I hope you dad will be ok. It sounds like your trip is going fantastic - even with having to arrange pet care. Enjoy your time away!Sorry for lack of updates....

They had the raspberry/red velvet cake one when we went to HHN and maybe in July. It didn't sound as good as the lemon one. We got the oreo one, because it was the only one that our son would even try. I think I will convince DH to split the lemon one with me. I love lemon!!!Son, they did have an AP one, but I don’t remember what was in it other than red velvet cake. I too generally only order the lemon one. It is so good. I take a handful of napkins as I always find them messy. One of my favorite filling snacks.
I actually didn't notice...DH bought the crepe and I waited at a nearby table.I need to try this one. Did they have any new or holiday flavors? Only the oreo and lemon ones have appealed to me when we have been in the park.
