A lazy day is a good day - part 1

After the “stress” of having to move to a new resort we needed a lazy day. 

So what better than to sleep in. 

We only rose from our beds at around 8.30 and after having a shower and getting dressed I walked down to the Boardwalk Bakery to get some breakfast while Tom was brewing some coffee. There was quite the line at the bakery, which gave me time to decide what I wanted to order. Once I had placed my order I needed to wait for a few minutes for the sandwich to be prepared but soon enough I was heading back to our room. When I got back Tom had already set the table and was ready to enjoy breakfast. 

Tom likes a hot breakfast, so I had got him the 

Butter Butter Sandwich, Shaved Ham, Scrambled Eggs and Buttery Fontina Cheese Spread on Brioche Bread. I wasn’t too hungry and I still had leftover carrot cake, so I had only picked up a 

Chocolate Croissant for myself. We took our sweet time until we were ready to leave and only around 10.30 we made it down to the Boardwalk to catch a FriendShip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. 

Shortly before 11am we arrived at the Studios and were soon in line for bagcheck and then scanned our bands and headed into the park. 

We had only walked two steps when we were stopped by one of the castmembers with a tablet to ask some questions. Sure we would answer her questions and it did not take long and we were off to our FastPass rides. 

The first one was for the Tower of Terror. 

We were surprised that there was a very long standby line and happy to be in the FastPass one. But only until we hit the end of the FastPass line. It went back to the first bend and moved very slowly. 

It took us about 20 minutes to make it to the library and there we realized why it had taken so long, they only used one side and there were only two elevators working. Again it took some time until we were seated, but the ride was as fun as always. 

Once we got off we looked around the gift shop at the end and then we were off to our next FastPass which was already open. So we walked over to Toy Story Land and again were surprised by the ever so long standby line for Slinky Dog and passed most of them before we scanned our magicbands and got into the FastPass line. 

A few minutes later we were told which row to get in and were on the next ride. 

This is such a fun ride and we had been so lucky to pick up quite a few FastPasses for it. 

Once we were done we decided that we had no desire to wait until our FastPass window for Star Tours would open, so we released them and left the park. 

When we walked up to the FriendShip we saw that people were already boarding and that there was quite a long line, so we thought we would have to wait for the next one, but low and behold we still fit on the ship and were even able to find a seat. 

Once back at the resort we walked back to our room, rested our legs for a while, while enjoying a cold beverage and then grabbed our shopping bags and headed to our car. 

It was quite the trek in the midday heat but we were hungry and on our way to a lunch we had been looking forward to for quite some time. Soon we made it Disney Springs and as always we missed the correct parking garage, so had to go around, but we made it. 

Car parked we headed down the escalator and were right at our lunch spot, the Polite Pig.
