Day 8, Part 4: Moving on Up

The trip got extended a day so my dad decided to let me spend one night with them. This way I wouldn't have to pay for an extra night when they were the ones extending it. So, I was living the deluxe Poly life-at least for one night.


I had to get my Magicband coded for their room. That took a long time and wasn't working right. But after a few castmembers we were cooking with gas and headed to the room to relax and pack.

My parents needed to pack and I had to make sure my bags weren't too heavy. That turned into it's own challenged. Apparently I bought a lot of stuff-mugs are really heavy. My dad had to put some of my stuff in his suitcase.

The plan was to eat dinner at Captain Cook's and relax by the pool. I got the pulled pork nachos minus the pineapple salsa because I think pineapple is disgusting. The pork was a little dry but everything else was delicious. And the heat builds a bit, but isn't overwhelming. I would get it again and you could easily share it with someone.



Then we enjoyed the Electrial Water pageant from the dock. And decided to forgoe the pool in favor of Wishes from the hotel room. This time my dad was able to pull up the music on his phone so we got the full effect. I still don't know why they don't pump the music in. It's weird.





I was tired so after a shower it was bedtime for me. I got to sleep next to Lilo and Stitch.

March 2013: Day 4, Part 1 (Tonga Toast!!!)



I forgot that super-late the previous night Lisa showed up. So, now we have another person on our journey.

I woke up at 7:30 and slowly got ready. We were having breakfast at Captain Cook’s. Brian and Katie were going back to the ESPN Wide World of Sports for more Braves stuff. Denise wasn’t feeling well so she was sleeping in.

So dad, Lisa, and I were going to breakfast at Captain Cook’s. We ended up leaving the room around 9.

We had to make a short detour to concierge so Lisa could ask about getting a cab or renting a car. She had an interview to go to later.

We haven’t spent a lot of time at the Polynesian so it took us awhile to find the restaurant. I’m actually fan of this resort or the Polynesian style.

It was our first time using the touchscreen ordering system. Lisa and I didn’t have any problems, but my dad ended up ordering three things of Tonga Toast. He said he thought it was asking him how much bacon he wanted.



It wasn’t a big deal because he ate one and then took the rest back to the room.



I like it but I wouldn’t pay more for it and probably wouldn’t get it again. A few years earlier I got French toast at the Rainforest CafĂ© and I thought that was better.

After breakfast we split up. Lisa went to get her car and headed to her interview. Dad and I headed back to Bay Lake Towers. We did some laundry and dishes before heading out again.
