Larry’s sister and a cousin joined the four of us. They are both single and really enjoyed the meal. My sweet potatoes were pronounced the best they ever ate. Clean up wasn’t too bad and we finished off the newest season of “The Crown.”
We decided against driving to Fort Myers. Four hours each way in two days was more than we felt up to. So we decided to go to Disney Springs which is a newer, expanded area of what initially was Downtown Disney. It is loaded with shops and restaurants, bowling alley, movie theater, and pretty landscaping surrounding a lake. They were having a scavenger hunt to entice you to walk from one end to the other. And it was crowded. Masks were required, even outside. This ballon must have been tethered because it never moved.
Kristin and I did the scavenger hunt while Ted and Larry waited in strategic spots for us. We were rewarded with a big pin that said we had done The Tree Stroll in 2020. In 25 years it will probably be a collector’s item! We ate at Guy Fieri’s Chicken Guy and it was the only money we spent.
We went back for the car and moved it to the Ticket and Transportation Center. Because Kristin and Larry have annual passes, there was no parking charge. We took the monorail to the Grand Floridian to see the lobby. We stop here every time we are at Disney, and living there five years makes it a lot, but have never noticed Mickey and Donald in the tiles. The skylight is just beautiful, there are three.
From there we took the monorail to Magic Kingdom and transferred to a boat to visit Wilderness Lodge. We have never been to this hotel. It is a rustic theme and had beautiful cabins along the water route. Lights were on and we could see inside the cabins.
We were going to have a reindeer cookie but you couldn’t buy one except through the App. We decided never mind and headed back to the boat. This brought us to the Magic Kingdom and we took the monorail back to the Ticket and Transportation Crnter and walked to the car. Whew! 15,000 steps according to Fitbit!
We weren’t up too late after we got home and everyone slept in until almost 9 am.
