The past couple of years when I made our October reservations, I made them through the Walt Disney Travel Company. And got free coupons for stuff. Well, I never got around to using them and the expiration date has passed on most of them. I had one left, for a pin and lanyard. Most likely, since I’ve been kinda sorta disgusted with the deterioration of the hotels during our past few visits, I don’t see us staying on property for a while. And I won’t be getting the free coupons.
So, yesterday, Brian calls home about nine yesterday morning and says “let’s go up”.
I had to go get him at the shop (his brother was still going to work and needed transportation), we came home, I got dressed and got most of the cats in and he washed the car.
We were up there at 12:30. Originally, he’d wanted to leave around four or five, but the parks had no crowds to speak of and most rides were walk on. It was like old times. We had such a good time, we didn’t leave until seven. Well, we left, but wee stopped on the way out by a survey taker. We pulled onto the freeway at 7:37, got home at 9:10.
Brian, being the affable fellow he is, likes to start up conversations with others in line. One woman told him while we were in line for Pirates of the Carribean, that she had been on Pirates earlier and there was no line, she had a whole boat to herself. And that she’d been on Haunted Mansion and could have stayed on the ride because there were so few people waiting in line.
It was just like old times.
