On Saturday, I went to Downtown Disney and went up in Characters in Flight (the tethered hot air balloon ride). Andrea bought me a Groupon a few months ago, so it was free for me. The hot air balloon ride is regularly $18. It was neat to see the construction of Disney Springs, but it wasn’t worth the $18. The construction is massive, but one doesn’t notice it too much when walking around on the ground.
Later, I walked around Epcot and walked over to Hollywood Studios. The semi-iconic hat at Hollywood Studios is now gone. I guess it has been for a few weeks, but I haven’t been there in a month or two.
