I'm sorry it took so long, but I finally came back and got caught up! (I always come back!)
But I did fast walk/jog. Everyone else was running. Which kinda peeved me out.
This is so frustrating!! I'm basically a rule follower, too. People who aren't make things feel very chaotic and frustrating to me! But this did make me chuckle only for the reason that it reminded me of walking past the rope drop crowds waiting to enter EPCOT and dash toward Norway when we were on a tour on our trip, and overhearing the cast members making them all take a pledge that they would not run.
See the girl on her phone?? "Hey, family, come on up! There's loads of room for you and literally no one on earth matters but you!"
Ugh.
as I stepped up to the CM who did the final sorting, stopped me. He said point blank, "You’re lucky, we’re opening up the next room now and you’re first in!"
Sayonara, Suckahs!!! Later, Alligators! The people’s faces that I saw in front of me for cutting were now waaaaaaaaaaaaay behind me and again
Yay! Lucky you! I've said this recently in relation to something you shared, I think, but I'll say it again: once in a while, the good you put out in the world comes back to you!
Well, technically it was “shots”, and a friend did some work with it, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how it turned out! Definitely a treasure!
Lovely! This is a neat photo! I haven't seen this lantern before.
Sounds like a pretty good novel. And it was. But, it feels like it is time to put this baby to sleep.
I know I was absent for the actual "putting to sleep," but I'll still miss this one! Now I just need to get myself caught up on the next one...
After her initial rough start right out of the gate, Mom did recover enough to trudge on with a few minor setbacks, but nothing too earth-shattering. I think she enjoyed the trip overall, but the heat and excitement were a lot. Heck, the weather was a lot for ME! The heat and humidity for a May in Florida was unreal!
Oh my goodness, the heat and humidity and excitement of a trip like this would do a number on just about anyone, I think! I can't imagine. It seems like it was every bit as intense for this trip in May as are the August trips we take, and that weather is pretty wild. But I'm so glad that she recovered okay and managed to still enjoy herself on the trip! It sounds like you and your mom make pretty great travelling companions. My mom and I have a similar relationship, and I hope it continues for many years to come. (Side note: my mom just surprised me this week with the news that she's taking me to New York for a weekend in the spring to celebrate my graduation! I'm beyond excited! We call it "adventching" when we go on adventures together, and I think this adventching trip will be one for the books.)
Another highlight that stood out: The INCREDIBLE upgrade to the Grand from the Coronado.
This is so amazing! I'm sure you enjoyed every minute of your time there! Coronado is still a lovely resort, in my opinion. You may remember that we stayed there with our wedding party for a few nights. But I certainly would always take the GF over Coronado if the price stayed the same! Happy for you and your upgrade
Losing all my phone photos, a whopping 2 ½ days’ worth (which is a LOT on such a short trip!) sucked. Lessons learned there for sure!
This must have been so very disappointing. As a reader, I didn't feel your report suffered in the slightest, but I still know how valuable those photos are for your own personal collection.
Flower and Garden was AMAZING!! I’m not entirely sure that I can’t say that it isn’t my new favorite Festival now. So, so pretty and the food offerings are equal to, and in some ways better than, F&W. It’s EPCOT at it’s absolute finest!
Oh my goodness, yay!! F&G is my absolute favourite way to experience EPCOT! I thought F&W might change that when I got to go for the first time this year, but after having experienced both I have to say that I still have a real preference for F&G. So beautiful! (It's the reason I had the artist include flowers in my EPCOT tattoo, btw.) I'm glad you enjoyed your time there!
Thanks so much for sharing these experiences with us, Liesa! You put together another wonderful report, and I'm very happy to continue consuming whatever content you create for us!
How is that possible?
A regular one is bad enough!!!
