I woke up at 6:20am and Judy woke up (with a little help from me) at 7:45.  It was raining out.  We ate breakfast in
the dining car and Judy tried the onboard showers.  We arrived in Sanford at 11:00am, 2 hours behind schedule.        

We drove to Old Key West to check in.  They are doing a lot of construction off exit 25B and I got confused.  I have to
remember that it's better off to get off at exit 27 and approach Old Key West from Crossroads.        

Despite what we heard about the change in the check in procedures, registration went smoothly.  When we got there,
the line was almost to the door, but it looked worse than it was and we only had to wait five minutes.  A CM was
walking up the line, to help facilitate the process.  I had requested building 40 or 42 and got room 4010, which turned
out to be a great location, since it was halfway to the pool and the Turtle Pond bus stop.        

After checking in, we grabbed a bite at Olivia's.  I asked our server, Jerry, about the rumors of changing Olivia's to
a food court.  He assured us this was not to happen, that they heard the same rumors, but were told by management
that they weren't true.  They are planning changes, but these were a few years out.  While eating, one of the
managers came to talk to us more about the changes.  Fran said that over the years, they've been making band aid
changes and were not operating as productively as they could be.  There are plans for changes, but she also said
that it was at least a year off, more likely three, and it was going to come from a higher level if it did happen.
She alluded to the possibility of modeling it after some new kind of restaurant in Toronto, something that's never
been done in Disney before.  Btw, for the record my wife had a luncheon combo of half of a tuna pita, conch soup
(although, I had her conch soup) and salad.  I had the special which was sliced prime rib rolled up in a tortilla
shell with red and green peppers and cheddar cheese.         

We took a little walk after unpacking, then drove to the Publix on Rte. 192 to pick up supplies (thanks to the tip
from Cathy Preacher.)  We ate dinner at Pizzeria Uno in Crossroads and then caught "Air Force One" at the AMC
Theaters.  Did you know you can get a discount if you're DVC and/or MKC members?  I didn't, but since I always ask,
just in case, I saved $2.00.  You also can use your movie tickets to get discounted entry into Pleasure Island.  Our
tickets cost us $25.35 for two, which I was told was the best of the discounts you could get.  Don't forget, if you
don't want to do Pleasure Island the same night, you can always use these tickets at another time.  Btw, if you've
never been to those theaters, try them.  The most enjoyable movie experience I've ever had - wide screen, excellent
sound system and super comfortable seats, including a tiered section with high back rests. I just wish they could
recline a little.
