Trip Report Yikes...55 days to go, I better get this thing started! Oh yeah, we're live now

Well, were down to 55 days so I guess we should get this started. You were with us for the 16th, 17th, and the epic bungalow 18th so why not include you in on the 19th! So I guess its time for the WWWW&W,

The Who: The cast for this anniversary debacle should be no surprise:

Me (#BlueSteel)

DW

What can I say, we love each other to death…

The What: Details to follow.

The When: September 16th-21st. We’re pretty locked into these dates since we are flying for this trip. This will be the rare bubble visit where vacation creep does not play a role like just about all others have for us in the past.

The Where: We’ve got ourselves some banked Poly points so why not burn through those! 5-nights at the Poly will be our longest stretch at the resort and we couldn’t be more excited! Typically we’ve only visited for a single night before or after a cruise.

The Why: 19 years of marital bliss, of course! What better way to earmark an occasion than visiting the house that the mouse built!

More details to follow!

Whoa!!! The AP line is actually SHORTER than the regular line!!!

This unbelievable, three rope drops this trip so uncanny for us.

Glad to see that you made it safe and sound

The blurry pic before the flight though - what exactly was in that coffee cup???

I hope you have a blast

Good manners, like common sense, are not very common anymore

Preaching to the choir on this one

I promise it was Pikes with mint. That picture us a product of a 04:30 wake up and caffeine on an empty stomach.

Yes, sir!

We're about to hop on Soarin and we scored the middle top!

We're joined on this flight by a couple QA CMs. They talked about polling guests about smells.

 

[imahistorygeek]

Top 2 guest favs:
1. Soarin orange groves
2. Burning of Alexandria in Spaceship Earth
Smells were not working in Soarin today.

Just got off LWTL, those animatronics were so life like! We're in the TT queue now about to make the most hideous whip youve ever seen.

I'm glad you liked California Grill! You have me tempted to try Artist Point! I always look at it and worry about the menu but it looks amazing!

 

[lostpro9het]

Just finished up at TT and I made a new friend! It was Thomas's birthday and this was the first day of their vacation and this was his first ride of the day. Things were going great until he decided to get rough with me!

After TT we decided to check out the revamped Mission Space

This ride should probably be renamed Soarin over Earth as it has nothing to do space or missions... Heck, they couldn't even come up with a new opening script! That lady just said the exact same thing as lieutenant Dan!

DW wanted a snack so we checked out Active Eats and she ordered some loaded mac n cheese, it was pretty good!

We're at the DVC Lounge now where apparently walking around barefoot is an issue so we were asked to keep on our shoes during our stay before heading up....

Making our way around the world sampling a few things. This is the crispy chiken from Farm Fresh.

The charcuterie from Spain

Cold coffee pislner from hops an barley

And the flight from Belgium

 

[imahistorygeek]

Pilsner tastes exactly like cold brew coffee. Not a fan.

 

[DisneyGigi]

The charcuterie in a cone was one of my favorites!

 

[MeeskaMooska0714]

That charcuterie cone looks delicious!

 

[imahistorygeek]

That charcuterie cone looks delicious!

It was and a great portion size!

 

[Zipadeelady]

It was and a great portion size!

J would love the Charcuterie Cone!

A little jealous. I'm back at the office today. It's like my little getaway never happened.

So after Belgium we decided to head back to the resort for some pool time. We had to stop off at Scotland first to try their ale.

During this trip the DW had mentioned a few times that she really wanted a print she had seen online so i suggested we hit the art gallery on the way out to see if they had it... and they did!

The issue now was how to get it home? I couldn't see this surviving the plane trip. I asked her about the Disney shop app and she said it wasnt available. I figured we could get it when we come back for Christmas since we would be driving. We looked some more and enjoyed these two as well

Cant go wrong with a little throwback to 20kLeagues.

At the entrance to the shop they had a new F&W piece that reeked of Schoolhouse Rock infringement

Heck, for all i know Disney owns Schoolhouse Rock now.

We took advantage of one more photo CM on the way out.

On the monorail back I wasn't satisfied with the DW telling me the print wasnt available on the shopping app so i looked, sure enough it was available!! We got 10% off too for being AP holders and it will be at home in less than a week!

Were back at the Poly now and this is our current situation, look familiar?

The charcuterie in a cone was one of my favorites!

They did a hood job of really filling it with a nice blend of meat, cheese, and olives!

That charcuterie cone looks delicious!

It really is!

The tilapia AAs are especially life-like!

We have had more artwork shipped home than I care to admit, and I'm guessing there will be more on our upcoming trip since I just saw new dates for Larry Dotson!
