2nd Day. - Got up and went to Starbucks or tried to in the Lobby. Bad news Starbucks had a long, long line. Nope. Went and refilled my cup and got some eggs and bacon from Bayliner instead. The early entry was at Islands that day. The park opened at 9. Big mistake Hogsmeade was packed. I'm glad I didn't take my wand too crowded. You could barely move. We gave up after awhile and hopped on the Train to Diagon Alley. So much better crowd wise. I think when it's is the early entry at 7 guests don't want to get up so much better. If you have a later early entry it might not be an advantage. Both parks were really busy.
We went to the Leaky Cauldron for Breakfast. Yes they are taking reservations and walk-ups. We both got the Scotch eggs. Then we walked around and went in the various shops. At that point it was getting late my traveling companion decided to go back to the hotel. I wanted to ride something. ET was a ten minute wait so I went to ride that
ET was not running the movie and they were not doing the names. But I did see some team members at the computers so I don't know how long that will last. I got on a bike pretty quickly with a family. Question: These were fairly young kids do they even know what ET is? Then again I am not a huge ET fan. Saw it when it first came out. And I like riding the bike ride vehicles. I slowly meandered out after that
Went to the Christmas Tribute store and loved it so much. Walked down NY Street and looked at the decorations took lots of picture. The Marilyn Monroe show was around 11 and I always wanted to se it so that's what I did. I enjoyed it. The MC was really good and interacted with the crowd and I love the costumes on the dancers. I really love old Hollywood so it's geared towards me. I would see it again and I filmed some of it. Went to the Prop shop after that which is a store I really love. You can always find little items like hats and old style jewelry. Really a cool store. I decided to jump on the boat and head to Sapphire Falls and then walk back to Cabana bay.
