Amd first up.was Star Tours. I was not the spy. In the decades I've been visiting MGM/HS I've never been the spy.

And you know what?? , I don't wanna be the stupid spy. It's stupid. Stupid AT-AT

Don't feel too bad about not being the rebel spy on Star Tours. I was only the rebel spy once, finally in August of 2020. The only people in the cabin were me and my husband and even then my picture was blurry, so maybe I was the rebel spy and maybe I wasn't.
At this point, if I was the only person on the ride, I would prefer that it shows a picture of an empty seat, lol.

I'm gonna make it a new thing to NOT be the spy!!!!!! Lol. Stupid AT-AT

Someone on here once posted that if you get right in your seat, buckle quickly and look up you have a better chance because they are looking to snap a quick pick. I tried it on our last trip and for the first time in probably 40 rides I was the spy. I was however wearing a mask so my friends didn't even realize it was me until I told them.

Went over to Mission Space. Wasn't paying attention and I ended up on the more intense version, which is fine. I just hadn't rode in awhile. It definitely had an affect.

I slowed down to grab a snack.

After TT I stopped to try the inside out Donut. Within 2 bites i had sent a text message to C to tell that this was my.new favorite snack.

It was absolutely amazing. It's served chilled and has Bavarian creme under the chilled layer of chocolate.

I stopped at the Italy Pavilion to see if they had a certain fragrance. C got me the Aqua di Parma and I'm running low so I was looking the same bottle. There are several different scents.

A salesman asked.if I needed assistance and I described to him the battle I was looking for. Mind you they all look the same but the one I have does not have a label on it , the words are just etched into the bottle.

The bottle is a very dark blue color. The salesman proceeds to hand me 2 or 3 different bottles that are all black. He sprayed a sample of each one on the paper strips and even though I had told him those weren't the ones he insisted I smell them to Be sure. Fair enough. After smelling each one I told him none of them were the 1 I was looking for. I explained again that it was not a bottle with a label on it And that the words were etched into the bottle. This Critical information did not seem to matter to him as he proceeded to hand me bottles with labels that were every color but dark blue lol.

He seemed confused and then apparently had some kind of light bulb moment or so he thought and told me that I was looking for the Bulgari fragrance, not Aqua di Parma.

I assured him I was absolutely certain it was not Bulgari. He seemed confident that he was right and I was wrong. I asked if it was possible that the Aqua I was looking for was discontinued perhaps? He didn't know. He wanted me to At least smell the bugatti fragrance 2 to be sure I wasn't wrong. I asked him why would I do that if I am absolutely certain I don't own that product lol. He seemed frustrated at this point so I thanked him for his time and left without purchasing anything.

He wasn't exactly rude just gave me the vibe that he felt I probably wouldn't purchase anything. And I get it. If you've ever been in those stores they get a lot of tire kickers who just waste their time and aren't going to buy that expensive bottle. I was absolutely ready to purchase it if they had it he just did not want to take the time to listen to me. I even described that it was more of a citrus floral light smell. He didn't offer anything comparable. I felt like Julia Roberts in that scene where the women wouldn't help her cause she was dressed like a Hooker. Maybe it was my outfit but I was wearing a colored shirt! Lol

After the Italian fiasco I needed a drink! Off to Japan!

Does anybody else look at the ninja swords and just wants to buy one? I'm sure they're not of the highest quality and there are much better ninja swords on the market but These particular ones just seem cooler because they're in the Japan pavilion!

I was wondering making my way back towards IG to take a break at the room.

I stopped in France Pavillion to check out the Guerlain shop. C also purchased Amen's fragrance from there as well. She actually did some freelance work for them years ago and knows their products very well.

The representative at this store was a Night and day difference from Italy pavilion. I could not recall the name of the fragrance because it's in French but I described the bottle and she immediately knew the name and also immediately knew that they had discontinued it. She Told me that many of their fragrances are seasonal and they come and go. They have a new fragrance that is similar but they had sold out and were still waiting to be restocked. She showed me 3 of the men's fragrances they did have in stock but told me they were more of the classic original scents and that they were nowhere similar to what I was looking for. I appreciated that she did not try to force a sale. I thanked her for her time and headed out.

And a little treat for stomach.

Years ago I had developed minor heartburn and it was very annoying and was not getting better. C is very healthy and put me on this stuff and I haven't had heartburn in years. It works wonders.

I showered up and relaxed for awhile then headed down to the lobby and chirped a lyft. Where could I be heading???

Update: getting ready to head out for the day and I realized that I have the Guerlain fragrance with me. Here it is.

20220120_091553.jpg


It has a little over half of the bottle left. The sales women told me that I'd be lucky if they ever released it again. After this trip I will probably only use it for special occasions. It's absolutely my favorite of all of the ones C has bought me

Soon after I made it to the destination. Disney's Grand Floridian Resort in Walt Disney World located in Orlando, Florida! NOT, the grand Flo 🤢🤮

I headed str8 to Rose and Thorn Lounge.

20220119_163421.jpg


They have two different Old Fashions. I started with the "new" old fashion. It was excellent! 10 year Widow Jane Bourbon and house made bitters (cranberry I believe).

C and I prefer the patio here. Great views, shade and comfy chairs.

We also love the smoked brisket sliders.

Just as good as I remember.

I ordered their standard old ashion next. Ot was meh. Not bad , but I prefer the the other.

Im.not sure if a different bartender made it, but they used the small ice cubes (smh) and it had enough ice to keep a cooler well chilled. If you noticed the coaster has about 2 handfuls of ice that I had to scoop out before the drink became watered down.

Shirley status in the restroom
