Saturday: first day in the parks

First day in the parks. J wanted to ride the train from Studio side to Islands to see the Dementors. We tried to have lunch at Lombards but they were not taking walkups. We ate at Richters. J totally failed to understand the Freestyle machine. We had a little chat about saying things like, the man at the front desk told him the hotel key was his ticket into the parks (no way in hell did that happen) or that the water dot was not on the Free Style display (it was, and it was easy to find if you knew how to read the display). It is fine to not understand something. It is less fine to assert that your misunderstanding is somehow the fault of the other person or the machine lying to you.

Train ride was fun; I gave my wands to a nice man who said they were too expensive to buy. I had been schlepping them to the parks where no one was interested in using them for several years. This person will use them. Yay! Peak decluttering experience.

We went into Burgin and Bork or whatever that thing is called.

We all did Forbidden Journey once, J did it twice, and the kids did it at least one more time.

We did Spiderman (they did it a couple times).

We had a lovely dinner at Orchid Court, but the fried chicken roll did not work for A even without the eel sauce. Oh well! We got her a burger from Jakes.
