2 Day Disney Springs and Epcot trip October 29-30

Arrived at DS around 12 noon on a Wednesday.  Orange parking garage was relatively empty so we parked on level 3.  Crowd, in my opinion, was very light.  We stopped by the Chicken Guy for a quick bite to eat.  Toured the area and saw that most stores/vendors remain from our last visit this past January.  The Disney Store was relatively full of people though.  Weather was warm, in the upper 70s.  We sat outside the visitors center in the rocking chair as our break.  There were people in chairs talking loudly on their cell phones or watching programs on their cell phones which were also loud.  People need to be more cognizant of being noise respectful to those around them.  We had a 5 pm reservation at Summer House which we changed to 3:30 since we were wanting to check into the Disney Dolphin.  Summer wasn’t full so we were seated at a window seat near the deck area.  The jalapeno cornbread and cobb salads were our meal.  Both were delicious and filling, along with a cocktail of our choice.  Went over to the Dophin and it was a zoo.  Apparently a convention had ended that day and people were getting Uber/Lyfts to the airport.  So the line of cars were backed up to the entrance. We finally got in the correct line to check in.  Checking in was easy though.  Parking was still a zoo.  I self parked  in the valet area.  We were upgraded to a resort view room which has a nice view of Hollywood Studios, the Swan, and the resort area leading to Epcot.  We could also see off in the distance the Disney Springs area.  At night the Epcot fireworks were also viewable.  This is the highest floor we have stayed on in 3 prior stays at the Dolphin.
