7:09p Took the World Showcase ferry to Morocco? The point? Headed back to the Land to meet up with Meg, Pat, Jess and Dan...So it was the short name crew for the rest of the night. haha. We walked around World Showcase again, getting crepes in France, until we got to Germany where I got another snack ;) and we watched Illuminations.

From there, Meg and Jess went with me to get the car and Pat and Dan left through the France entrance. We met up for ice cream and then I went back to the hotel. The man with the ground beef was there, in the same area, still holding the bag of ground beef. Weird. When I got to the hotel, I went to brush my teeth, turned on the bathroom light, and saw a roach scamper across the bathroom counter. I threw one of the cups over him, where he happily stayed while I showered. After my shower, I sent him to the ocean via the toilet. Creeped out a lot more about this place, I went to bed, and found that the housekeeping people hadn't made the bed, just readjusted the comforter. The flat sheet that was pretending to be a fitted sheet was still untucked towards the bottom of the bed. So I used the other bed for the night. I was too tired to fuss with it :-D. Anyways, I went to bed, the next morning to be woken up by housekeeping trying to break into my room and couldn't understand why the double bar and pin lock was done. Hmm, that must mean the room is occupied. I dragged myself to the door, peered through the crack, and he realized he must have been on the wrong row of rooms. Check out was at 11a, you would think he would wait until after then. Oh well. I was up and going then. At check out, I mentioned the roach, the guy said "really? i'll have to make a note so we can find it." Anyways, at least the hotel was very conveniently located.

Ride/Show count for the day: 17...going backstage at Nemo? priceless!
