Trip Log:

7:00am wake up call. Headed to the food court for breakfast then a cab out to the Palm golf course. Played our round and then took a cab back for a quick lunch and showers. Then headed over to Downtown Disney via bus. Shopped a bit, then took another bus to the Boardwalk. Walked around and then over to the Beach Club, followed by the Yacht club. Ate a great dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse then took the boat over to MGM. Did a big circle of the park, down Hollywood Blvd, out to New York street and then down Mickey Ave followed by some shops on the Blvd before heading back to the bus and to Pop Century to call it a night.

Thoughts & Observations:

• We played the Palm this time around since we did not get out on it last trip. Overall the course was in great shape, especially considering all the rain and wind. The course was being prepared for the upcoming PGA tour event in late October. The greans were hard, the rough extremely thick, and the out of bounce was a swamp. This all added up to an extremely tough round for all of us.
  
  
• The Shades of Green resort was just as impressive on the back side that faces the Palm. We did not get down that way this time and wanted to mention it.
  
  
• Downtown Disney seemed calm and quiet, guess its becuase we were there on a weekday and early. I still do not understand why you cannot cut through Pleasure Island to get to the West Side we wanted to go there, but the bus stop at Pleasure Island called our name.
  
  
• The same was true for the Boardwalk area. It was extremely quiet.
  
  
• We ate dinner at Yactsman Steakhouse, our favorite, and the meal did not disappoint. After the big meal we did not feel like doing much so relaxed and took the long boat ride to the studios.
  
• Speaking of the Studios there seemed to be a lot of guests roaming around and heading toward the exits when we arrived. Felt like a fish going upstream.
  
  
• Just some regularly scheduled work going on around the park, no real visible damage from the storms. The Stunt show area is really coming along. The Osborne light installation seems to be progressing nicely. We found it interesting to note the half wall around the areas they were working on for this, so you could watch if you wished to.
