No alarm this morning, and I took my time getting up and dressed. Walking around the outlet mall yesterday did me in a little bit. I decided on Hollywood Studios this morning and was able to get a Park Reservation. That has been the case for almost every day so far, but some parks have had limited availability. The weather forecast said breezy, but no rain. Breakfast in the room again--this has saved me so much money. I went out to get on the scooter and then I saw that I had forgotten to plug it in last night.
I had some green left on the indicator, but I was concerned about how far I would get. I went ahead, took the Skyliner and that thing was really swaying back and forth--first time I have ever been nervous on it and I was sure they would be closing it down if the winds worsened. When I got in the Park, I went to the little reservation booth that is at the first intersection where you would turn right to go to Tower of Terror to ask where there might be an outlet where I could charge up. I noticed there was one right on the wall of that booth, so I pulled around the corner and plugged in. While it was charging, I walked into a couple of gift shops. I then walked around to the slushie place and got a frozen cherry slushie and took it back to the scooter to drink while I sat and ate a bit of popcorn from my bucket. Super combination and great 2nd breakfast. I did not purchase Genie+ today, too late of a start and there isn't a whole lot at Hollywood that I need it for other than Rise and Mickeys Run-a-Way Railway. After I had been charging for about 45 minutes, I went over to the Frozen Sing-a-Long--always love that show, but it wasn't my two favorite Historians, enjoyed it anyway. Then I went around and did Muppetts. Then I decided I needed something substantial to eat and went down the street to the markets next to Tower of Tower. I wish they had somewhere you could just get a quick service sandwich other than a burger or a hot dog. Is a hot dog a sandwich anyway? When I cam around one corner there was a CM with the balloons and it was so breezy that the balloons had blown over and were touching the ground. I thought she was going to get carried away, Anyway I grabbed a burger and checked the Tip List to see what else might have a short line and it was the Beauty and the Beast show--I had not done that in a while, so off I went. I was seated front row center stage and thoroughly enjoyed until each time they turned on those fog machines. After Beauty and Beast was over, I was hoping to catch the last Indiana Jones show, but I was too late, it had already started. I will have to catch that another day. I worked my way out of the park thru the gift shops again and was hoping that the Skyliner was still running so I wouldn't have to catch a bus, and much to my surprise it was. So, now I am back at the resort and will probably go down to Primo Piatto for a quick bite of something. I don't have the t.v. on and I can hear the wind howling outside--the fabric awning over my window is making a lot of noise.
It is going to be an early night again, just too cold to be out in wind. The temp says it is 72 but Real Feel is 69 oh, and rain starting in 53 minutes.
Not sure where I am headed tomorrow, will figure that out in the morning.
