Went back today. I was able to snag a reservation for Toadstool at 1:15 thanks to to the link to the reservations site! Once it got to 11, reservations were all gone for the day. They also had a sign out in front of the SNW that had a QR code that would let you make a reservation to the site.
I got to ride a whopping six times today thanks to the single rider line! I haven't gone since last month, so it was good to be back. On one of my rides, then AR was completely messed up. Basically up was down and I had to look down to "look" up. After my meal at Toadstool I rode one more time and while I had a better experience, I had to use one eye as the AR was " image doubling". Oh well. Still had four really good rides on it. I tried to get the coin bonus when the countdown timer is about done but no dice. I guess you have to hit the buttons right when they hit zero?
I decided to treat myself today and get the short rib and the mushroom soup since it was cold and rainy. I'm sorry to say that the short rib was disappointing. Meat was okay, but it tasted like it's been marinated in too much cooking wine. The mashed potatoes were terrible. They tasted like playdough. Mushroom soup was fine but not worth $10. If I do go back, I'll just stick with the Mario Burger and Garlic knots. I don't think it's worth fighting for reservations to go back. I had my fill of the ? Block Tiramisu so I guess if I really get hungry at the park, I'll go to Bumblebeeman's.
Glad I went. Went on Mummy, Transformers, and Potter before heading out. Wanted to take advantage of the reasonable crowds before the weather gets nice again.
