we are lookingforward yo our meetup as well! (I think Sam is more excited for someone toride rollercoasters with - he keeps trying to get me on mako!)
Love when people say pop instead of soda! That's what we call it here!!
Dolphins are so amazing! I can't think of a better job than being a dolphin trainer!
I really love the Asian food station at the Expedition Cafe. When we visit in the summer, we head towards the one building in the back where it's air conditioned and always uncrowded! Such a nice place for a break!
Your next trip is certainly coming together. When we don't do Disney, we do a lot of the other things like going to the hotels, the campground etc to include a little bit of Disney in our vacation. This time however, it's Disney all the way.
Really enjoying your updates
The Dolphin Days show looks nice. I'm glad they kept the birds in the show. Are all the birds still in the show or just the Macaws?
Our trip is 12 days away! We ended up booking MNSSHP for our last day (we're there for 2 weeks!!)
Hi again! Thanks for the well wishes. It was a long and exhaust ing journey to get here but we made it. In future I should probably rethink going to work on a travel day. Guess I'm getting old.
We went out to breakfast yesterday and then spent the day shopping, finished it off with the boat to Disney Springs and dinner at our favorite EOS. Today is a full lounge at the pool day in preparation for the 6:30am trek to DHS tomorrow.

Yep, crazy hot. I think 95 today. Some huge black clouds rolled in really fast around 6:15 and by 6:30 it was pouring rain. As in monsoon. As it turned out we had gone to dinner early and we were just getting back to the resort as the first rain drops came. We just made it to our room when the down pour started. It went on for about 90 minutes. When it stopped we went out to walk the resort and where only out about 20 minutes when the most incredible lightening made it look like daylight. Needless to say we made a quick retreat to our room and didn’t it start to rain again. No big deal though we are getting up early tomorrow so it’s a good night to be in.Glad you are having a fun time so far. How's the weather? Crazy hot?

We can be chicken on that together as the guys laugh st us!!
I never liked the acrobats either for the same reason as you. At this point we won't have any costumes. Too last minute. I was trying to think of some way to Disneybound. My dad won't participate in that at all. Hopefully we'll get a couple of t-shirts and we'll have Minnie Ears and Duncan will get that pumpkin Mickey hat.

Dolphin Days is one of my favorite shows. I've watched it 5 times in a day before
Oh ya...:got up at 5:30 this morning. We had to do a checkout and back in this morning which should have only taken 5 minutes but it took 20. So that delayed us drastically. We still managed to do SDD, Aliens and TSM by official park opening. We are currently on the boat heading to Epcot for lunch. Then back for a rest at the resort and an evening at MK.Sounds like a good night to be in early!! Have fun!! Keep us updated!! Are you going to HS to visit Toy Story Land?

Just love those penguins! I wish we could stay in there longer, too! It's just freezing!!
That ring is gorgeous!! Such a nice momento! Steve is very sweet!
Voygers looks awesome! We have the all day dining for the 28th so Sam says that's on our "must do" for eating!

Super Grover passes in hand, we are now doing DC, with stops at SW and Aquadica thrown in. Good thing I have a rental car, and don't care if we don't spend all time at USO, oh, and Mickey party and GF stay in there too, well because. Love all your pictures of the food. Most likely we will buy the all day dining at SW, as going on Saturday, as Sunday is USO's AP only night, so since I want to see the night time shows, only on the week-ends now, Saturday it is. Glad you told us that the pretzel place is included. I can see a stop for nuggets and water at least one of the hours. Based on the shows, we will do most on Saturday, leave the rest for another day.
Squeal, countdown is now 1, so want hot weather, with little rain, for the next 2 weeks. Why yes hotel, we will see you tomorrow.
Steve is definitely going for brownie points with the ring - what a lovely gesture though
Love the ring!
Looks like it was the perfect end to a perfect day with your sweetie.
I’m loving your trip report and still quietly reading along. I’m also loving reading about your plans for October. With any luck I will have your trip reports to keep me occupied until it’s our turn.
We are still debating Disney or no Disney around here for our March break trip.. it will go back and forth for awhile I think. We have switched to every other year for Orlando trips and we haven’t been to Disney since last summer.. once everyone realized it will be 2020 before we go back they decided they may want to do Disney again instead of a more leisurely trip with Discovery Cove and Aquatica.
With any luck we will have a plan before we get there in March . There are definitely worse problems to have than to try and decided what fun things to do on vacation . All of it sounds good to us so it’s proving harder to narrow it down than you would think .
LOVED SDD. I thought it was sort of a hybrid of BTMR and EE. It’s supposed to be a kids coaster but it’s a bit more than that. We were going with the Easy WDW plan for the morning....he arrived at the gate at 6:15 and was able to do everything in Toy Story Land twice by about 8:30. We didn’t get to the gate until 6:45 and it certainly made a difference. By the time we got to SDD the posted wait was on one sign 45 and the other 35 but I knew that they have been inflating the time. It was actually 20. We then went to Aliens and the wait was about 5-10 minutes. It’s a really cute ride but too short. We then moved on to TSM and it was pretty much a walk on even though the sign said 15 minutes. The only wait was right at the very start of the line while they load the cars.How did you like the new rides?
You have a busy day! 3 parks today? Good for you!
