We took a bus to Disney's Hollywood Studios and arrived just after it opened.
Margaret and her wheel chair were strapped in on the bus -- quite safe.
As we headed up the main street, we encountered what is called a "character greeting."
Chip and Dale were greeting little kids.
Well, we're little kids, too.
During the picture session, they learned of Margaret's age and asked us to report, behind the Sorcerer's Hat, at 1020, to which we agreed.
We went on to the Great Movie Ride (GMR) and had a great time.
Margaret transferred to the GMR vehicle and they put us in the front row.
I took flashless pictures during the ride.
Following the GMR, we reported as asked.
The Disney people had orchestrated a "Magic Moment" and nine Disney characters met with us (and us alone!) and shook hands and posed for pictures.
Margaret really enjoyed it and Lyd cried.
I went on "Star Tours" while Lyd and Margaret watched a school for young Jedi learners.
We joined about 2000 others for the "Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular" which was a lot of fun.
On a whim, we tried for and successfully obtained lunch at the "Brown Derby."
From there, we returned to the room for naps before dinner.
We took the monorail over to the Grand Floridian and had a lovely dinner at "Narcoossee's."
When we boarded the monorail for our return trip to the Contemporary we were informed that the elevator from the monorail to the 4th floor was non-functional.
It was recommended we get off at the Magic Kingdom and take a special bus back to the Contemporary Hotel.
When we attempted to disembark at the Magic Kingdom we were told that elevator service had been restored.
When we disembarked at the Contemporary, the elevator had failed again.
We got back on the monorail for another circuit around the lagoon and got off at the Magic Kingdom.
After a little confusion, there was, indeed, a special bus for just the three of us back to our hotel.
We finally reached our room at 2200 with the fireworks long since completed.
The ladies went straight to bed!
