Today was Disney’s half marathon. Because of that, roads and traffic get disrupted. It will be even worse tomorrow for the full marathon.
Knowing that, this morning I played one of my favorite “games” when I don’t have a particular place to go: bus roulette. I go down to the bus area and board the first bus that arrives. There was a family there who was getting really angry because they wanted to go to the Magic Kingdom (bad idea as the marathon blocks that road for a long time). They said that their bus had been delayed for almost an hour.
I looked up and saw a bus labeled “Disney Springs” and when it stopped, I boarded it and had a great time.
Christmas was still up at the Springs.
After I entered, I stopped at Vivoli Il Gelato for a citrus dessert. I had two scoops, one orange and one blood orange.
When I finished my sorbetto, I went across the way to The Boathouse and booked my annual amphicar ride around the lake. Enjoy these pics taken from my car:
Working up an appetite in the sun and fresh air, I stop at Chef Art’s Homecomin’ for brunch: diet coke and shrimp & grits. I have never had grits that tasted as good or creamy as these!
When I got back to the Boardwalk midafternoon, I rested around outside enjoying the incredible day we were having.
At 5:30 p.m., I headed to my room to celebrate Mass for the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. That feast officially closes the Christmas season. Another one for the books.
Later this evening, I went to the Yacht Club marina to catch the EPCOT fireworks cruise. It’s always great sharing these cruises with good friends. I’ve known these for many years. And I do mean many. I’m getting old. lol
This is living! 🙂
