These green beans are fantastic.

I LOVE the green beans at Pop. Iām sure they are the same at ASMo.

Well my snobbery be damned. That was a good meal: lots of good flavours, and vaguely healthy insofar as there were vegetables and I ate them. Reasonable price, too.
Oh, talking of healthy eating I have had no digestive distress to speak of during this trip. And that, despite having three large ice cream products yesterday. Maybe it really was the Starbucks. (Crucially, the one I had at City Walk was not coffee-based.)
In my room now. With a Mickey rice crispy treat (no ice cream bars, sadly) for later. Watching Anderson 360.

We had a sesame chicken at Pop that was delicious. I feel like the Value resorts have great food options.

You will remember my rage at the buses at ASMu. Well as I arrived at the EP line here at ASMo, the EP bus was just pulling in. And I was the only person in line. Better than an Uber.
The plan (and, yes, I broke a rule, but Iāve balanced the budget):
Breakfast at GG. Then the Land and the Seas and Moana and, if I can snag a LL, Soarinā. I have BG 57 for GOTG, which is an expected to call around noon.
Iām meeting a VIL (very important liner) at 2.15pm for a reservation I just snagged at Space 220 lounge.
I have a LL for Remy at 6pm and an ILL for GOTG at 7.45pm.
I wonāt be watching Luminous from WS. I plan on hanging around SSE and watching it do its thing.
I cancelled FF. Iām probably going to try Regal Eagle.
Other than all that I plan on wandering around, taking in shows and generally chilling. I even brought a book, just in case!

All settled in at GG. Already fist-bumped Chip. My server has a Joe Biden thing going on: he has a special blue name badge.
Itās not too hot outside right now, but the humidity is at that level where, when you get off the air-conditioned bus, your glasses steam up. And you should really walk more slowly to your ADR than I did.
Food has started to arrive. Also:

$60 with tip.
Iām such a fan of character breakfasts. They set you up for the day in every sense. Loads of food, and the character interactions are so joyful. Even for me! You get loads of attention at GG, and it includes two of my three favourite characters.
Iāve grown in confidence with interacting with characters and had some fun with them today. I told Mickey I had been working on an impression and he had to guess who it was. I held up two watermelon slices to my head like Mickey ears. But he guessed Pluto, which is better, actually, as the āearsā were pointy rather than round.
Then I took this āsecret selfieā with Dale. I was just walking round the restaurant to take pictures and we bumped into each other. It was not my turn but he put his arms on my shoulders and I said āletās do a secret selfie and not tell anyoneā.
Anyhoo, $60 is a bunch of money. But worth it. Besides, I saved more than that cancelling FF.

Is a big deal - be sure to ask him why. I have met three and they have all said some version of, ājust doing my job well.ā

Oh, I know why. I met one before. Iām hoping heās still working because he loves his job rather than any need. Bless him: heās so slow than when he walks against the tide in GG he ends up staying where he is! (Not really!)
Just doing his job? Sure. But the best server Iāve had so far this trip. Super-attentive.

Good gosh, your stars are aligned on this one. Maybe the secret is the advance trip? I feel sorry for any newcomers taking notes on your suggestions.
To do:
- Get Hogwarts castle show for my house
- Ride Tron with Josh and Bob
- See multiple rainbows over Magic Kingdom for Pride
- Have breakfast served to me by Blue Tag
- Space 220 VIL meet
- Whatever else youāre going to bump into this tripā¦

Todayās plan is working out so far. Had to wait till 11am to book my next LL. I had to book Remy at 7am because I know they run out fast. But Soarinā is a must-do. Risked there would be plenty available at 11am for about 11am because thatās when Iām in the Land Pavillion after breakfast. Killed some time with Awesome Planet and then bagged an 11.10am Soarinā. The SB wait is 50 mins. I paid $21 for G+. Worth it.

Saw this on the way to Soarinā:
So tapped in to Soarinā and booked a LL for LWTL for when I get out.

Well, not everything goes my way. Decided to see what else was available for my LWTL LL. Spotted FEA and clicked frantically, but it had gone.
Then noticed a 12.30pm for SSE. Which is currently down. So snagged it in the hope of getting an anytime, though I donāt know what that would exclude.
GOTG BG has been called. I can go any time, right?
Headed to the Seas.
