walkitoutWe did Bourne and Horror Makeup show. R bailed on Bourne, which is a pity because it’s fun. But she freaks out at a lot of the warning signs. We had lunch at Jake’s as we were checking in and dinner at Orchid Lounge. See photos for a picture of the rice spirit aged in cherry casks. Really good stuff.
When we got there, Not BIL was checking in, and my sister said they were going to head out to CiCi’s for lunch as soon as they were done. I almost said something intemperate, but I caught myself and said instead, if you check in without involving me, you’ll have to put the rooms you check in on your own credit card. I don’t know if my sister realizes exactly how much that is (it’s one king room, and one room with two queens, concierge level, Christmas week for 3 nights, you can go work out the details yourself if you want to — I’d put a deposit down, but it was still a lot of money that they collect when you check in), but she understood enough that she turned around and jogged back to let Not BIL know to slow his roll and wait for me to get there. I just had to get the luggage on to the cart and headed where they would hold it until our rooms were available.
Anyway. It always takes a while to check in, because it’s a minimum of 4 rooms, plus one more in this case because B and R are with us this year (we often have company on these trips). I sent my sister downstairs to get us a table at Jake’s, so we all had lunch together, which was nice. After lunch, we trooped over to buy tickets for everyone but A and I (we still had months on our passes), and lanyards and then we all headed over to the parks.
There’s a decent chance that my sister’s family didn’t really want to go to CiCi’s at all, and were hoping for a better meal if they went to the hotel first. I’m never really sure about what anyone over there is thinking and they don’t reliably self-report.
