So here at the WL now on our Disneymoon. Had a bit of a rocky start. Checked in and ended up with a VWL studio without a balcony. I wasn't very happy because one of the reasons I picked a deluxe resort was for the balcony, especially this deluxe resort. We got there late (8:30 or so), so we decided to keep the room for the night, but went down to the front desk to see if anything else was available to move to in the morning. We were told to check back in the morning and they would probably have something. So checked back in the morning, originally told that only ground floor studios were available for our length of stay and they faced the walk way. Then they offered a courtyard view room towards the end of the northwings, and they would reimburse my account for the difference. Well that was great! Totally fine with that, however getting magic bands and luggage sorted proved to be incredibly frustrating involving three cast members and a manager.
Craziness...but once it got sorted everything turned out great! Room is lovely (2 queens) and the balcony is fabulous...listening to the waterfall and birds right now
We did wait a while for the bus to HS on Tue...from listening to the bus driver, something had happened, not sure what, but something. HS was great fun, and my first time visitor husband enjoyed Star Tours greatly. I rode the Tower of Terror for the first time (I've been to DW 10 times this visit). It was a great ride, until the fourth drop, and then I was kind of over it...and I was a little worried I was going to lose my voice from screaming
We did a boat to Epcot from HS for snacks in WS and then monorail to MK and then boat back to WL. My DH LOVED all the different kinds of transportation...he was like a little kid riding the monorail...to the point that he wants to go to all the monorail resorts using the monorail and see if they smell as good as the WL
Hoop Dee Do was wonderful as usual and I think I ate a loaf of the cornbread on my own
Yesterday was beach day, rented a car and went to Caspersen beach to look for sharks teeth, found some and had a lovely, beautiful sunny day. Picked up dinner from Roaring Fork (okay, I picked up a smores cupcake since we had a late lunch) and watched the EWP from our balcony. Great fun!
So after a bumpy start, everything worked out in the end. Yesterday, turned on the radio in the rental car and the song on was Don't Worry, Be Happy...Perfect! Can't wait for another great day today
