Sunday 21st

Night of 21/morning 22- stay at Contemporary Hotel- theme park view
$872.11 (ouch!) for room and 2-day your way ticket w park hopper option (I ended up not using one, and paid extra so it doesn't expire), $200 deposit

2-day parkhopper ticket is $184- one is no expiration

Did early check in

940am breakfast at Beach Club, EPCOT resort

Wow, Disney does do a breakfast buffet well.
You didn't have to search for crispy bacon, it was ALL crispy bacon!

Morning at Hollywood studios

Then took the boat over to the park

Indiana Jones
This re-did scenes from the first movie and had me smiling already

Muppet Vision 3-D

Star Wars
Simulates being in a ship that ends up going along on the first Death Star strike

Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

I got a fast pass for this one and was glad I did

Head back to hotel to chill in room a little

Took the boat back to my car at the resort

I run into Mickey and Minnie in their Christmas fineries

When my family would come here growing up it would be a novel thrill to be staying at a Days Inn motel, and the hotel on property where the monorail went through was a dream where only the rich could stay...

I was worried that I would be disappointed, that the hotel would look just like it probably did in the 70s.
Nope, this was done in the modern blue/brown that I like for my condo in Austin and was at least as nice as the W Hotel chain. Impressive.

EPCOT

Nemo ride

Dinner 730pm Morocco
In middle school we took a field trip to EPCOT and a bunch of us had dinner here, pretty exotic stuff for a 14 yr old. Fond memories, so here I am half a life later.
