My husband and I are going without the kids in December! I know I’ll feel guilty, but we haven’t had an ’us’ trip in years and just took the kids last December. Just do it!! We’re so excited to be able to just do what we want and take it slow.I've been waffling about a trip for just my husband and I in November. I really didn't think I wanted to go but your trip sounds like so much fun, now I kind of want to go.
Hey and welcome! I saw that you were at Coronado and wondered how you liked it.
es, a pair of shoestrings. Not the bright colored ones but a pair of brown which would match a pair of Converse shoes he had packed for the trip.
It had been a couple of years since we had eaten there and we were looking forward to our dinner.
Our waitress took our drink order and asked if we wanted an appetizer. We typically do not because the portions are large but we decided spur of the moment to order the loaded brisket fries:
I ordered shrimp and grits which were different than when I ordered the dish elsewhere. The grits were grit cakes. When you cut into them, the sauce around oozed into the grits. Goodness, it was good!
If you have never been to the bathroom in House of Blues, you need to. Every square inch is painted differently.
What a nice day! That's a perk of longer stays - you can work in a relaxed day. Oh my your dinners at HOB look so good! Especially the Jambalaya. Sounds like tomorrow is an AK day!

I'm so glad that you are enjoying it!!! If I had to choose between the two...Drawn to Life would win!It’s my first time reading through a trip report and I’m loving it! Making me super excited for our trip in December-no kids!! Taking in lots of your tips. We’re staying in a Disney springs hotel-part of what I want to do without kids is shop more! We’ve done both in the past so I’m good staying off property. Can’t wait to see what you think of Drawn to Life—I can’t decide if we want to do the Christmas party or maybe drawn to life and a starlight Safari. We can’t do all. We did the extra Christmas hours last year and not so sure we loved it?
I'm glad that you are enjoying the read! We wore short sleeves almost every day and had hoodies in the backpack on days that it was suppose to be cooler at night. When we went over Thanksgiving in 2000, there was a cold front and it was cold! We all bought sweatshirts, gloves and hats.Soooooo loving this trip report! It builds excitement for trips that soon will be here! We are leaving Thanksgiving day for a 13 day trip with our kids and Grandkids.
I’m guessing short sleeves during the day and sweatshirts/light jackets for evening? We will be swimming no matter what the temps are. We once went in January and being from Minnesota, we had to go swimming. There were some Canadian families there as well. Temps were in the 40’s and the pool guy was dressed in a big thick winter parka!!. He thought we were crazy…
The HOB food looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it soon. We love Earl of Sandwich too. But we always try to make it to Chicken Guy and The Boathouse with their filet mignon sliders…delish
Cant wait to read more, I have been reading your trip reports since Hunter was just a little boy!
Was House of Blues just food? No show?
I absolutely hate it when we have noisy neighbors at any hotel!We really enjoyed it. It was an adult only trip and the tower was perfect for us, except for the noisy neighbors on our last night.
A very sensible purchase.
OMG! This looks so good, I'm drooling!
Both my girls love shrimp and grits.
Very interesting.
I love it when people add seasonal decorations to their Disney spaces! And when sweet hubbies leave sweet notes! Super cute window and great trip report .
Great Safari! I don't think I have ever seen the lions up and about.
