Leaving our first resort already and saying goodbye to Bay Lake Towers!  Its a beautiful resort and I expect it to be a very popular choice and always hard to get for non-owners.  If they fix a few issues it will be even better!  One last little thing... We were there two nights, and this is how the shiny black entertainment stand looked when we left!  The maids must HATE this black stuff for showing dust!  And what a lot of dust is floating around in there still!  Maybe a holdover from the construction...

Remember this unit?
Remember this nice contemporary unit
Find that Endust!
Well, just two days of dust leaves a maid's nightmare!





Toy Story ManiaOnward to home #2 this trip!  Checked in at Beach Club Villas and lucked out AGAIN!  Room was ready at 8:30 in the morning on a Sunday!  How often does THAT happen?  ;-)  




We checked it out quickly and found it
DHS was a great room.  Second floor - VERY close to elevators, nice pool view and BIG balcony.  Two thumbs way up!  :-D  









Then we zipped out to get to Hollywood Studios before it got too late.  We enjoyed the view from the pier and then jumped on the boat and soon arrived at the Studios.   Brinn and I headed off for RnR Fast Passes and then met Kristen and Maddy at Toy Story Mania.  




RnRAbout a 40 minute wait, but the queue is great so we didn't mind too much.    We had a fun ride and I only beat Kristen by about 700 points!  She was ahead of me right up until the end too.  Just barely squeeked it out over her!  :-D







Then it was back to RnR for our coaster fix.  We all love this one and had a great ride.  We then grabbed two Tower of Terror passes and two more for RnR later.   Then we grabbed some lunch and went to watch the American Idol Experience.  This is a fun show and we all enjoyed it.  The three singers did pretty well, but I can't see any of them making the show unless they make some great improvements!  After that we stopped over at Star Tours, but it had a 40 minute wait.  That was the same as the Fast Pass return time, so we just grabbed a couple more Fast Passes that the girls could use right before we left for the day.

Brinn's yearly speeder shotAt this point, Kristen was feeling sick and decided to head back.  We aren't doing too well on the 'stay healthy' part of this vacation!  She headed back and I took the girls around to use our various Fast Passes.  I rode Tower of Terror with Maddy.  Then I rode RnR with Brinn.  Finally, the girls rode Star Tours while I waited for them.  Two rides for each of us.  :-)  





Then back to catch a boat to the resort and see what mom was up to.  She had called down for the luggage and unpacked.  So much for resting!  By the time we returned she was down at the quiet pool so we joined her there.   We had a nice hour or two swimming around and then relaxed until dinnertime in the room.  After getting ready we headed for Beaches and Cream - a family favorite.  



Maddy's yearly speeder shotThey were even able to seat us immediately at the counter which was fun.  Nothing like watching them make a few kitchen sinks to make you want some ice cream!    I just had a chicken sandwich and two scoop sundae (which was STILL huge!) and Kristen and Maddy had the big sundaes.  Brinn enjoyed a frozen sunshine which she likes to get every year.  It was a nice meal and very good.   After that we played in the arcade for a bit and then the girls headed out for some outlet shopping.  


 I spent the time relaxing and then working on the trip report some.  Maybe I'll actually get to post a day or to soon!  ;-)   They returned around 10pm and showed me their treasures.  Some new Converse sneakers.  And some fun Disney finds as well.   Another good night and time for a good nights sleep.   Good night!
