Day 2-We're at Disney so it has to get better, right?
Got a some what late start and left the room around 9am. We were going to stop by the bakery but the line was out of the door so we just started our walk to the Studios. We arrived at the Studios around 10 am, looked for something hubby could eat at Starring Rolls (a banana) and I had a pastry. By the time we got to Toy Story Mania the wait was up to 110 minutes. The line was stretched outside and we seriously considered skipping this ride. Since this was the only thing we HAD to do this trip we jumped in line. I am just in awe of the que of this attraction. It has so much to see and then you get to Mr. Potato Head. He is amazing. The only thing I was disappointed with was I didn't get to see him remove his ear! All in all we waited a little over an hour to get to the ride. Let me tell you this ride does not disappoint. Our prizes didn't work at the end so we don't know what we "won" but that did little to dampen our excitement.
After TSMM, we rode ToT and went on a search for something hubby could eat. I had canceled all our ADR's because of his surgery and we were finding it a little hard to find something for him to eat. He was able to each "mushies" now so we thought maybe we could go to Mama Melrose's and have some pasta. Well, they took the last walk in right before me so that was not happening. We walked back over to the Sci Fi Dine In and this time we got the LAST walk in! We were not super excited about eating here as the last time we ate here it was not very good. We were pleasantly surprised with the meal and the service was very good. Hubby was able to eat a bowl of chili and I had a Beef and Blue salad.
Once we finished lunch we decided to head to DTD for some retail therapy. We took a bus from Saratoga Springs and walked to the Marketplace.
After our retail therapy we took the bus back to the Boardwalk and took a very small nap. Hubby was in a better mood and wanting to give the F&W another chance so we walked back to EPCOT.
This time we started counter clockwise around World Showcase and stopped in France. I had made a checklist on my phone on all the things I wanted to sample. When I started looking at what I had picked it was most sweets and wine! We enjoyed samples from France, Louisiana, Morocco, New Zealand, Boston, Italy, and Mexico. Hubby was able to enjoy several items as well as 2 beers. He was so happy This was really the first time since his surgery that he was able to eat "real" food and boy was he enjoying it. By the time we got to Mexico it was time for us to find a spot of Illuminations and we found a great location on the bridge between Mexico and the entrance to World Showcase. We started talking to a newlywed couple from Britian and the time went by fast. As always Illuminations was wonderful and the new globe looks great. The images are so clear and I thnk we found a new location to watch from.
Hubby wanted to head to ESPN to see if we could get in to watch the 2nd half of the LSU/FL game so we walked back to the Boardwalk. We got in line at the ESPN club but it was at capacity so they couldn't tell us when we might get it. We decided to call it a night and just watch the game from the room.
