  After exiting the Magic Kingdom some of our group returned to the Contemporary the rest of us walked around for a while. Here is a look at the resort monorail queue entrance. There was no line this afternoon.
  It was just before 1pm and very quiet in the area.

  There were 8 of us traveling this time and we stayed in a Grand Villa at Bay Lake Tower. The room was ready around 2:15 and I reached the room before our bags did so I did a very quick run through getting some pictures before everyone unpacked. They were in the living room so I am starting in the loft area on the 2nd floor which is connecting space between two bedrooms. That couch folds out to a bed.
  This is the bedroom on the right (the one you could see into on the previous picture).

  The primary difference in the two rooms is this one features a desk and the other has a table and a window that looks down into the living room.

  Hollywood Blvd at 5:52pm
  Our primary objective today was to experience the new Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway attraction. We were in line around 5:58pm.

  A little over 20 minutes from entering the park and we were on our way out.

  The park closes at 7:00pm tonight and many dining choices were already closed so we decided to head to Epcot to find some dinner.
  6:32pm we are already transferring to the Epcot Skyliner.
  I was on the wrong side of the gondola and too many people to move around (with 8 of us including 2 strollers we filled the gondola) so no pictures of the new France area from above this evening.

  Just before 7pm, taking a quick look at the newly opened portion of the France pavilion at Epcot. The restrooms are open due to renovation work on the ones by Morocco.

  My first view of the new Harmonious barges. Hard to really tell anything at night.. they are giant black spots on the lake.
  Passed through the Epcot Experience as it was closing for the evening.
  Future World features a lot of walls (they call them Progress Walls). Some feature directional signage.

  8:08pm and we are on almost to the stops.
  Oops I missed the Electrical Water Pageant. I heard it but had the wrong time written down so I assumed it was at the Wilderness Lodge.. it was an hour earlier than the schedule due to earlier Magic Kingdom closing.
  Still great to have this view from your room. This wraps up day one.
