We had a good performance, so that helped! She likes the big “whoa” moment in the middle
We did VC, she enjoyed it. It is a one & done for her though. She did laugh the whole time thiugh.
She needed to eat again, so we grabbed Burgers Digs. She needs plain food for diary issues and for her palate.
Did a bit of Christmas shopping for others and now leaving for the scheduled mid-day break.
We got caught up, mostly. So that’s good for both of us. The weather is overcast and not too bad, especially compared to Aug. & Sept!
I know I have mental notes to tell everyone, I just can recall them atm!

How was the burger?
I forgot if you ended up trying a Krusty Burger last trip? Was wondering if there is a quality difference.

I am following along, and enjoying the ride! One of the best burgers imo is Wimpy’s if you guys want burgers again later.

Thanks! I’m really doing my best to make the trip about her. It’s hard sometimes! She even asked if I wanted to go solo while she rested.
I fell asleep for 2 hours in the room, so I needed to rest!

@bebe80 … it’s garbage compared to Wimpy’s and any fast food drive thru.
I knew it would be, but when she says she’s hungry I have to make due with what’s around and not march her much further.
@padfoot86 - totally agree!
FYI - she liked it though.

If she likes burgers, we had great ones at NBC Grill. It was an easy to get reservation and they have good fries too. We get loaded burgers there: blue cheese, garlic aioli, tomato jam, & bacon on brioche grilled to a perfect medium. I’ll bet they’d do a plain one for her if she wants.

We came back into the parks just for The Bourne Stuntacular
Got to have my first ever Liner Meet with @OrlandoGirl357 ! So cool! It was great to see you!
The show had a tech issue at the finale and they had to pause the show. The director cane out and gave behind the scenes information about the sets and stage. It was interesting, but it does take the momentum out of it.

How’s this your first??
You seem to be at the parks all the time. I would’ve thought you’d’ve run into many by now

It was my first ever live meet up too, and it was really cool. Great to meet you, and maybe we’ll see each other again.

It’s in my list…Any chain place like that or Hard Rock Cafe is a place I can rely on for burgers / basic eats…
We had my birthday dinner at Big Fire…
It’s very nice inside and quiet like a nicer restaurant should be… (I’m still mad about Vivo being a zoo back in April!)
I got the PB&J Old Fashioned. It’s peanut butter whiskey and grape Bourbon
Peanut butter whiskey is really different, but really good! The drink is straight booze so I decided to drink about half. DW keeps teasing me about my drunk HHN night in Diagon Alley running around all alone at 1am yelling “I’m a Wizard!”
She said, no “Wizard Larry” this trip! 
That’s fine as those wild nights cost me play time the next day(s) to recover!
The food is good, but not great. It’s better than say Outback Steakhouse, but not as good a a prime steak restaurant.
I can’t “recommend” it for it’s price. I paid $130 for one cocktail, two steaks with sides and a small dessert.
Oh! I had the Baked Alaska. It something I have only seen in 1980s movies where people go to an fancy place. (They won’t sing to you, but the server did make a show out of it for me)
Also, get your Birthday button and wear it! I have been offered soooooooooo many free treats and desserts around all the parks and hotel. I can start my own treat cart! (I’ve got a couple things in the mini fridge stashed away, but I started turning down things by the end of the night! 
)
We shopped for a couple minutes afterwards and just came back to the hotel. I’m spoiled by the parks closing after 8pm. Them closing at 7pm this week really is rough for nights. I thought about doing Deluxe hotel exploring, but the water taxis are down the whole week.
The buses are running great though. Never more than a 5 minute wait and often multiple waiting at peak times.
I’m in the hotel room. That means the wifi sucks and I can add my pics tonight.
Before I forget…all the construction walks are gone from IOA’s Port of Entry. The paint looks great and all the features and animatronics are working

Happy Birthday!! That drink sounds yummy but I could probably only drink half I’m sure DH would finish it.
