We ate dinner at the food court at Coronado. I wasn't super hungry, so I split garlic knots with my dad. We got the garlic butter sauce... so good! I loved them so much, I had more when we got back. I also got a funfetti cupcake, which was also very good, but there was too much frosting... I don't say that often.
At DHS we started with a LL for Tower of Terror. Always a classic, and probably my second or third favorite ride. Leaving the ride I got a Yervis cup and a shirt from the gift shop. I'll post pictures of all my merch when I get home.
Then we did some shopping around Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard. I saw a shirt celebrating the 5 year anniversary of Galaxy's Edge. First, I can't believe it was that old already. Seems like it just opened! Second, I really liked the shirt, but was undecided in getting it. I'll leave you in suspense.
Then we went to see Muppets. I said it before, but I love that show. It makes me laugh every time. I also have been trying to pay attention to small details more this trip. I love all the little jokes in the pre-show area. So fun.
Mickey and Minnie was down, so we got a multiple experience pass for that. We weren't going to use it on everything, so Guest Relations changed it for us to use at Animal Kingdom tomorrow (spoiler about tomorrow's plans).
So, after Muppets we did our LL for Smuggler's Run. We also looked around the shops in Galaxy's Edge. I saw some things I liked, but not for the prices I saw.
Then we did our LL for Toy Story Mania. With lightning closing down Slinky and Mickey and Minnie being down, it backed up the LL for Toy Story. But it still wasn't too bad.
We decided to head our and skip Fantasmic for tonight because it's an early morning tomorrow. On the way out, I decided to get the Galaxy's Edge shirt. I am liking the land a lot more this trip than the past couple. It is so detailed. I think I had way too high of expectations previously, and I was disappointed they didn't base it on the original trilogy. But now I can appreciate it. Also, in Disney my mindset is pretty much... if you like it, get it. I don't think that way at home, so I splurge down here. And I might decide to do a bigger splurge later in the trip... to be determined.
When we got back to the hotel we got some snacks. We did our nightly nachos to share, and I got garlic knots again... but this time with a cheese dip. The cheese was also delicious. I'm not sure whether I liked that or the garlic butter better. I also got a small cup of soft serve ice cream. I did vanilla and then filled my mug up with root beer, so I got the root beer float effect.
Overall, it was a very good day.
Tomorrow's plans: AK in the morning, switch to Riverside after that, MK in the evening/night.
I'm going to miss Gran Destino. I think it's my favorite resort now. I love the vibes. It's peaceful and relaxing and upscale, but not stuffy. I don't feel out of place. I also love the lobby. It's beautiful, and I could sit there listening to the ambient music and smelling the scent they pump in all day long.
happy.
