We got our room ready text right after getting on the ME bus. I had requested Toy Story 1st floor. We got Toy Story 3rd floor. I didn't make a fuss because it was only 2 nights and we didn't have an ECV until we moved over to PoP.

So we went directly to the room. It looked just like PoP renovations, but looks can be deceiving.

I only noticed because we have just been talking about this in someone else's TR... 2 differences I found.... 1. unlike PoP, you didn't have a choice in shower heads... this only came with the rain shower.

and 2. there are shelves missing in the hang up closet.

We dropped the luggage and off to World Premiere we went for food. We wanted to try the super secret menu.

We got the cinnamon bun bacon cheeseburger and the poutine.

The burger we would get again. The poutine though was awful... the gravy wasn't too warm, and the cheese curds were ice cold, so there was no melting going on... bleh

We also grabbed some desserts.

The Jack cupcake was really tasty! It had a lime goo inside that was nice and bright. The chocolate cake was amazing too! We got 1 drink to split... and this dinner cost us $40+ dollars... WHUT! I almost fainted... and this folks is why I like the dining plan. Especially when it's free.

After dinner we walked around the resort to check it out, but it was getting dark so no pictures. We stopped in the smoking area on the way back to the room so hubby could have a pipe, and while we were sitting there he said, "Why is there a bucket of chicken over there?"

(Picture taken the next day in the light)

No dear... that's a bucket of soldiers!

It was getting late and we decided to go back to the room to watch TV.... except there was no remote... anywhere... I tore that room apart! Finally I admitted defeat and called. It took them forever to bring one, and I did finally figure out how to work the joystick channel changer on the back of the TV before they came...

OK, time to get to work. Wish me luck!

Next: Day 2

Next: Day 2

To be fair, I can see the bucket of chicken likeness. Especially in the dark. But I'm not sure how it would tie into All Star Movies...

The refurb room looks.....dull. And just a rainfall shower head?

Quickly adds All Star Movies to the Do Not Stay list.

The refurb room looks.....dull.

I guess it depends on if you like that stark white with just a little bit of color pops ... which I didn't include in my picture. I like the starkness because my brain signals that as clean.

[Spash007]

Clearly late, but I'm in!

And really, who wants to sit between people on a plane if they have a choice? You seem like lovely people don't get me wrong, but space is the most important!

I also have to thank you for making me realize I needed another cup of coffee when I read flowers as flow-ers (like overflowing....)

Welcome!

I'm not sure who would willingly want to sit between 2 fluffy people... we don't even want to sit that close to eachother! LOL

Flow-ers LOL.. that's funny!

I forgot to set my alarm last night. When I woke up it was really dark so I figured it was like... two am. I didn't want to get out of bed, so I told Alexa, alexa, set an alarm for 5:30 am. She says... okay, alarm set for 5:30 am. I was like sweet... I don't even have to get out of bed and I have another couple hours of sleep I can catch.

Not 45 seconds later, the alarm went off

It is weird that the guy didn’t want more space.

My general rule of thumb for stranger situations:

The only time I get up early is the day we leave for Disney!!
