Walt Disney World – Day 3 (12/09/15) Summary
Trip log:
Started off the morning leaving the room just past 8am and making my way toward the boat docks at the Yacht & Beach Club. A Friendship boat heading to the Studios was arriving so walked onboard for a cruise to the park. Arrived just after 8:30 and the park was already open, posted opening was 9am. Walked up Hollywood Blvd and found the some of my group outside Toy Story. Waited less than 5 minutes for our ride then walked over to Star Tours which was almost a walk on (three guests in front of us and we paused right at the gate). Some of the group headed for Rock in Roller Coaster and I met up with the later arrivals at the Star Wars Launch Bay. Explored the area while waiting for the coaster group then we all went to Great Moments at the Movies. We then headed for the Muppets. Followed by a quick lunch at Pizza Planet for some while others went off on their own. I ate quickly then headed for the noon showing of Indiana Jones while the rest of the remaining group returned to the room. After Indy walked down Sunset Blvd to check out Club Disney and then the Hollywood Brown Derby gingerbread before leaving the park. Decided to take the boat to the Dolphin then hop on a bus to Disney Springs. Walked once there walked across the new causeway and through the Landing to the West Side. Went up on the Orange Parking Structure to see the construction then doubled back to meet friends for dinner at the Boathouse. After dinner walked around World of Disney and the Landing before catching a bus to the Contemporary. Walked to the Magic Kingdom. Took the train around to Storybook Circus and then wandered through Fantasyland and Liberty Square before finding a spot for the Main Street Electrical Parade. After the parade made my way out into the hub to catch Celebrate the Magic. After the show headed for the exit as Wishes was starting. Watched some from the hub then out front of the park before catching the finale from the bus stop. Took a bus back to the Beach Club to call it a night.
