Day 1. Arrived in Orlando around 9:30 a.m. about 35 minute ride to All Star Movies on magical express. No wait for bus. Room not quite ready so ventured off to Disney Springs. With all the construction and this being my 37th or so trip to DW I only got a 2 day park hopper ticket. Road construction to DS still heavy. Ate at House of Blues around 11:45 using 20% discount. Got mssg that room was ready at 11:25. Walked around to tour the springs before taking bus over to Epcot area to do miniature golf. improvements to DS still ongoing. Used free voucher for golf. All Star gave me 20 dollar gift card to opt out of housekeeping for my 3 nights. I took the offer and used the $20 to buy my wife some items at Basin store. It was a warm day, in the low 90s but I survived by hydrating and pacing myself. Went back to All stars via boat from epcot a to US and then a bus to ASM. Cooled off for awhile at hotel until a 6:30 pm 3 mile run as sun was starting to go down. Saved about $37 With freebies. Tried BROWNIE and ice cream at ASM foodcourt, but it wasn't very tasty so only ate half. The bbq I had at House of Blues still had me full so I skipped getting a real meal for dinner. Sink in room provides serious hot water. Shower works well and a/c definitely cranks out cool area. Heard baby next door but otherwise a quiet area in Love Bug building. Good start Without even doing a park!
