As the last update said, we're splitting up again today, but this time, I get the boy. He's basically ready for the vacation to be over at this point, so he could be a downer. Or not. With only the two of us going to Hollywood Studios today, we can do whatever we want to do. And I don't really care what we do. So he gets an entire day where he can do what he wants.
I think the close quarters of the room are getting to him, too (Kristin and I could live in a hotel room), so it will be good to get to a park.
But not too early. Even though I was up at 9:00, we didn't roll out of the room until around noon. My family likes to sleep.
Since we're going to Hollywood Studios today, the obvious choice for lunch is "nothing at Hollywood Studios". In other words, Pepper Market. One photos along the way...
...and we're here! The Pepper Market is PACKED right now, and the culprits look to be those college convention kids we saw at the pool last night.
The line moved pretty slowly, but eventually Dylan and I emerged from the masses with a turkey club...
...and enchiladas:
I got those, and they were great! Dylan got the sandwich. According to him, his hold-up in line was a girl in front of him who wanted some ridiculously-particular order. And not a medically-necessary-so-understandably-particular order. A really-picky-to-the-point-of-inconveniencing-Dylan order.
Dylan got some kind of chocolate cake for dessert. I think it was the "chocolate cake". I got the churros:
Good stuff! Lunch over, it's time to go to the park.
We walked over to Station 1, and it's packed with convention kids. I'm starting to really dislike them. For no good reason. It's not their fault they want to go to the park. And that there's a lot of them.
But never fear! In a classic example of thinking on your feet, I proposed heading over to Station 2, where we'll surely be with a much smaller crowd. So over we went.
Today was the first day this was a thing:
Our grandkids will never know a Disney without them.
We got to Station 2 and looked at the board - twenty minutes until the next bus. Darn. We probably should have stayed at Station 1. I grossly underestimated the time it took to walk between the two.
To pass the time, I watched Dylan play Clash Royale, and it looks pretty fun. It also taught me that Dylan really HATES "play to win" players. Those are the people who make in-game purchases to gain advantages in the game. Of course, since the trip, Dylan has made in-game purchases, so he's a massive hypocrite. But at the time, he HATED that.
Hey, the bus is here!
