During this whole chemo treatment and hospital stays I have had my Pascal Shoulder plush in place. Then nurses love him and well it makes it easy for people to remember me or find me in the hallway if need be.

Thank you! Thank you! for a marvelous trip report. I watched the 50th Anniversary on Friday night & enjoyed it! Made me home sick for MK & the others.

Today was Hollywood Studios.
Catching up on all the things DD didn't get to do on last trip
RotR was 45 minute wait


Then Smugglers Run, 25 minutes.


Then Slinky Dog and Midway Mania




Off to Mickeys Runaway Railway

Finished with late lunch at Brown Derby. I had the salmon and DD & DW each had the cobb salad.

Some great wait times. Nuts you got to knock all that out before lunch. Thanks for all the updates and pics to everyone so far.

Finished our evening at Trader Sams.
Chicken lettuce wraps, teriyaki chicken flatbread pizza and drinks






Caught the last boat back to The Fort and had the rare opportunity to see one of the large ferry boats heading to dock.

Loitering!

You'll notice though, they did stop at the DO NOT ENTER sign

We managed to snag another virtual queue for Ratatouille this morning, and went back to sleep. We went to France we got to Epcot and got a crepe w/red berries.

Just as soon as we finished, our # came up. The queue was much shorter than last night. It really is a fun ride.



Next was Morocco for garlic lemon chicken kabob and falafel pita.

Then off to Italy. Chicken ravioli, tasty but not as good as @Teamubr toasted ravs, and Italian margarita

Next Africa. Coffee barbecue braised beef with mashed sweet potatoes & peri peri shrimp with couscous



Last stop Mexico. Ribeye taco & chorizo and poblano pepper thing

From there we went to get on tje Skyliner, but was running on and off and we didn't wanna chance as DD has an online college class tonight. So we did some shopping and Test Track on the way out

 

[tigger92662]

Slow day today as our stay is winding down. Went to Meadows pool for couple hours. At Disney Springs now for shopping and chow. Then off to the airport to send DD home.
Tomorrow will be one last trip to MK then start packing up

Joe, you and DW have a nice long trip to the Fort (I mean, WDW).

Thanks for all the pix (especially all the food ones) and linger as long as you can in the MK tomorrow night before you have to leave.

We’re already over halfway through our time here- it goes so fast! We’ve officially done all four of Disney’s park, Disney Springs, three days at universal, and icon park! It’s been busy, to say the least!

first I’ll make some random comments about our experiences- then I’ll post a few more pictures
I feel so much Disney magic- I think it’s because we are only here every 2-3 years, so it’s still all beautiful and exciting to us each time. Lots of comments are made about fireworks, but for us it really doesn’t matter what the show is. We just love seeing them and think they’re always so amazing…
Early entry was kind of a bust for us. There were just too many people. We tried for mine train but so did everyone else. So we changed plans and that worked better! Same thing at Hollywood- everyone went for slinky so it was soooo long- then it broke down anyways . But we still had a lot of fun!
If I could change anything I’d make the park hours longer. Being able to go in the early evening was wonderful- but there’s just not much time to do things before closing. And early morning is still pretty darn hot as soon as that sun is out!
The fort is as perfect as ever. We’ve seen deer, including a beautiful buck….turkeys, and TWO armadillos! All the cast members have been wonderful! We haven’t noticed any bad golf cart etiquette at all. People are so good about wearing facemasks everywhere it’s required- I haven’t witnessed any rude behavior at all regarding that.
We went on ratatouille yesterday- it was a cute ride but definitely can hit people who get 3-d motion sickness. I was wearing a patch and it still bothered me a little bit. Went on rise of the resistance today- it was a neat ride but I wasn’t as “wow’d” by it as everything I read. But glad I can say I did it!
Tonight we’re having a birthday party at our site for both me and a very good friend of mine ( she lives down here by Orlando and is also camping here now)- we both have our birthday today! I ordered a cake from grand Floridian so hoping it is good! We’re also having tacos

All the cast members have been wonderful!

100% agree. Every single cast member we experienced the whole trip was fantastic. Every maintenance, mouse keeping, bus driver or other Fort cast member waved at us on our golf cart. I even emailed Disney to tell them how wonderful everyone was. The cast members definitely made that trip.

Agree on RoTR, it was neat but didn’t blow my socks off. I think we are going to find they overuse that ride system that’s used in Runaway Railway, Rise, and now Ratatouille.

 

[tigger92662]

Boy oh boy. I got some catchin' up to do. Just pulled in the driveway. More to come

 

[tigger92662]

And as usual, always a welcome sight and sound

 

[Teamubr]

Glad you had a safe trip back. Looking forward to more pics.
