Yesterday was HS. We walked from BWI, leaving at 7:25. Shortly after we arrived, we were walked up to the security checkpoints. 5 or so min there and they opened up screening. We were first at our tapstyle.
Unfortunately I didn’t do a great job of tracking time yesterday morning. I know they let us though before 8:30 because I was surprised at got early it was.
They had different CMs holding signs for different areas. We went for Slinky and we were right under the archway waiting until they started walking us. We were on the second train. When we were walking down after the ride, the line was already down to the bottom of the hill.
We had BG 7, but we had some time before the end of our window so we did TSMM as a walk on and then headed to ROTR.
We grabbed coffee and a donut and found a shaded table by Dockside Diner . From there we watched Mickey Vacation Fun and then did Star Tours, which was a 10 min wait. We went left at the split, which was a good call because our line moved much faster than the other.
We did some shopping and hopped the Skyliner to head back for some pool time.
We had a dinner reservation at Hollywood and Vine at 5:30 and got on the Skyliner to avoid walking because my foot was starting to bother me again. Storms stopped the Skyliner and we got stuck at Caribbean Beach until they could get a bus to us.
Hollywood and Vine has been a staple of our trips, but it was definitely different. My son described the vibe in there as “sad”. Much less tables, no dance parties, just not the party atmosphere it used to be. We won’t do that one again until/unless it’s back to normal. The characters were great, but it’s got to be tough for them.
After dinner, it had cleared out quite a bit from the storm, so we headed to MMRR with about a 15 min wait. Then DH wanted a peanut butter milkshake from Hollywood Scoops. The milkshake was good, but the paper straw doesn’t really do much for the taste of a milkshake. We headed back on the Skyliner after this. *they were giving each party their own car.
Epcot today for DS birthday!
