I am here!!! And all caught up!
. After all, Trevor still hadn't seen Galaxy's Edge and he needed to, right?!
DEF!!!!!
also anyone else TOTALLY OVER park reservations? and only hopping after 2 pm? lame sauce. I hope that bit goes back to normal, though sadly I feel like it probably won't)
I haven't had to deal with them yet, but I do think they will be here to stay. It probably helps them out greatly with staffing.
I was trying to be a little less...intense, so our flight was at 2:55 in the afternoon, instead of zero dark thirty like the flights I normally book
I like your description of early.. zero dark thirty
We live in the DC area (specifically Northern Virginia but it's just easier to say DC
I don't think I realized you were in the DC area. We aren't too too far away.
Poor Trevor looks so tired! I promise he was excited
I can totally tell you are smilling in this pic, though!
I swear our bags were like the last ones off the plane.
We came in late one of the last times we went to Disney I swear our bag was literally the LAST bag. And by a couple minutes. Like I was getting worried it was lost. Oye.
I know it's not actually that long, but when you're so close to Disney, every minute delay feels like forever.
I TOTALLY get it. At that point you just want to be there!!!!
To get to the Swan, we'd booked Tiffany Towncar -- it was $150 for a round trip (plus tip), but I'd heard tales of crazy uber pricing surges, and the reviews here of Tiffany Towncar were all so positive that it sounded like a good option. I was so glad we booked i
Good to know! We aren't going till 2022 and Magical Express will be a thing of the past. You were probably better off, sounds like ME is a hot mess anymore.
Our plan for the night was Disney Springs (we had a dinner ADR I was SUPER SUPER excited for...any guesses? 10 points if anyone guesses right!)
Well, I was going to guess Homecomin' but I was clearly wrong.
so we figured that probably wouldn't work. Oh well! It was our first night -- we'd definitely be back to Disney Springs and could try again a few days later.
I want to try Gideon's but I don't know if I can deal with the stress!
We love the "make your own" rice krispies and were looking forward to making several, but they weren't doing them, 'cause of Covid. I was super disappointed, let me tell you!
We love make your own rice krispies! Bummer. I hope they come back.
cause again, the man was still in the Star Wars shop, which is part of the reason why I figured we needed to make this trip so he could see Galaxy's Edge!)
Man, did you see any of Hollywood Studios? Or did he just move into Galaxy's Edge?
we apologized for being late but explained we had gotten into Gideon's, and the waitress was like "oh yea, totally worth it, totally fine. Did you bring us cookies?"
ha! they are probably used to it.
So, full disclosure: the main reason we booked this ADR is 'cause we watch Tim Tracker, and they have been here several times, and they rave about this dish (the Iberico pork pluma). So we booked it to try it and they were RIGHT! This pork is SO GOOD -- it's
I want to go here for the same reason!!!
Def the best fridge!
Finally Trevor came back and we tried the Red Velvet cake. It looked amazing, but it was a bit dry. And I don't love cream cheese frosting anyways, so it was a bit of a bust for me. Trevor liked it though.
I feel like the cakes are just ok there. How was the other slice?
Next up: Trevor's first time at Galaxy's Edge!
Can't wait to see and hear how he liked it! I mean I HAVE to assume he loved it!!!
