I am bound and determined to finish this trip report! I will be going off year old notes, so we’ll see how that goes. I *thought* this was going to be the last trip until DH graduates in 2020, but we Disney fanatics knows that is never the case :-D I really want to start a PTR for that trip, but I just can’t do it without finishing this one first.
SO, without further ado!
When we left off (...in August of 2017, oops), we had just returned from a fabulous day at Blizzard Beach.
We made great time getting back to the BWV (by car) and thought our best bet was getting some quick Boardwalk food-- corn dogs and pulled pork baskets! We scarfed down our meals in the room (my only notes say it was hot and fresh, so I assume it was good?), showered, and were off to Disney Springs in no time. We decided not to fuss with busses (and I remembered the car keys this time) and arrived to the Springs quickly. We found a spot in the Orange Lot and made our way to the AMC Theater.
We printed our tickets and wandered around for a few minutes, before just heading back to the theater-- and just in time! The skies opened up and the daily downpour commenced around 5:30. We got a large popcorn to share, some sodas, and made our way to our seats.
We saw Dunkirk. It was great.
After the movie, we made our way over to Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar.
DH LOVES Indiana Jones, so this was a must do for the trip. In fact, we enjoy Indy so much, that our recessional song at our wedding was the Raider’s Theme! The storms had cleared out the Springs, and we found a great outside table overlooking the water! We contacted our friends M & D (who we had spent the day with at Blizzard Beach), and they planned on meeting us there!
Happy husband!!!
I had a seasonal Jocktail: Donovan’s Dilemma (Makers Mark Bourbon, Amaretto, Soda, Lemon Juice, and Honey with a Mint Garnish).
Donovan's Dilemma- yum!
DH had the Cool-headed Monkey...aka chilled monkey brains (Starr African Rum, Van Der Hum Tangerine Liqueur, fresh Lime Juice, Watermelon, and Pineapple Juice).
Cool-headed Monkey!
We both really enjoyed our drinks, and (spoiler), DH went home with the souvenir monkey cup! He loves it and still uses it about once a month just for fun.
Our friends showed up and we continued our adventure! We were a bit hungry, so we got a few different items to share: 2 orders of Snakebite sliders, falafel, fries- yum! We had such a great time eating and drinking and laughing. Our bill was a bit pricey, but it was yummy and we had a great time. It was growing late, and with one more park day left, we pulled ourselves away around 11:00.
When we arrived back at the Boardwalk, I decided it was a good time to put some of our gift cards on our account. I also tried to take a panoramic picture... it came out, ok?
We were both in bed a bit before midnight, which was still the latest night for us!
Up Next: Magic Kingdom!

So much to do, so little time! Magic Kingdom had EMH 8:00-9:00, so I knew the first hour would be crucial to get a lot of rides in and set up our FP+'s earlier than I normally would (spoiler: it was a great idea).
DVC is a slippery slope.
