November 18 – Disney Springs and EPCOT
We took the boat to Disney Springs and walked around....and maybe did some shopping.
Riverside has ore consistent coffee than Pop Century did. It was always hot as well. But there is less gluten free choices. French Quarter at least has a baked potato.
Housekeeping forgot to leave any of us shampoos. So I stopped one cast member and picked up one for Mom and I to share. I also left a note for the house keeper to see in the morning.
Tonight we are going to EPCOT. We went over the the North End bus stop which was really close to our building to catch the bus to Hollywood Studios. That way we could take the boat to the International Gateway (after cruising past the resorts along the way). The park is finally decorated for Christmas. We walked around a bit until it was time to find a place to stand for Illuminations. We staked out a spot near the International Gateway. This way we didn't have to go through EPCOT to the buses. There is almost no light and I'm always surprised that people don't get injured. The walk way to International Gateway is well lit in comparison.
We waited 45 minutes for the show and it was worth the wait. One family behind Mom kept hitting her ankles with their stroller. They wanted her to turn around, make eye contact and then she would let the them stand in her spot because they had children. Mom nudged the stroller wheel away, turned around and gave the “look”. That's when they realized that we were not going to give them the spot we held for 45 minutes. We needed the railing to hold on to! 45 minutes is a long time for gals our ages to stand.
After the show we took the boat to the Yacht and Beach Club resorts. Hollywood Studios was already closed and the last bus had departed. But that isn't a problem when staying at Riverside. All the resorts have buses to Disney Springs. They want us to go shopping after all. So from the resort's bus stop we took a bus to Disney Springs, then a boat back to Riverside. It was a lovely and relaxing way to travel.
