Wilderness Lodge trip - Day 4

Today was a good day.....lots of very short lines, although you wouldn't have known it by the traffic through Magic Kingdom. Regular 5 minute (or less) waits both for Buzz Lightyear and Space Mtn, led to our riding each of them many times consecutively. I did get to ride the riverboat for the first time in my life and got a number of good photographs from on top of it. Other than that, I won't ever have to go out of my way to ride it again. Just too slow-moving for me, and not much of interest on it. The wife and I stopped off at Cosmic Ray's again for lunch, while the others in our party were off doing their own thing around the park. As the day went on, we made our way over to Epcot for a quick ride on Mission Space (green, less intense side, which I didn't care for) and our 5:20 dinner reservations at Coral Reef. We love that place and tonight reinforced why.....great food, and this time we had our table right up front directly next to the glass of the aquarium. It was pretty cool. Only unfortunate part was some brief rudeness from the waitress when my wife asked for a different drink. After dinner we ended up roaming around MouseGear for a while. Turned out that my wife suffered the same thing I suffered a night or two before: sitting in someone's leftover chocolate and getting it all over your shorts. She managed to clean it up though, instead of having to buy a large shirt to wear that would be long enough to cover it. Finally, we took the bus back to the WL, got our refillable mugs, and hit the lobby for some card playing. Soon, it'll be off to bed. Tomorrow we have dinner in China, so I'm sure we'll at least hit AK, MK (if only to see what more of New Fantasyland may be possibly be exposed), and Epcot.

Something else to add, that we've really noticed more so this time, is how clueless or impolite other guests can be. People stopping in the middle of a crowded walkway (when they know there are people behind them) and just standing there or having some sort of little reunion is really irritating. Then there are those with the little electric scooters or even parents pushing strollers......they think they own the entire walkway and others have to make way for them. Mind you, that's not everyone, but there are quite a few like that.
