Trip Report JenniferS was live! 9/6/17 - 9/16/17

This will be my fourth live trip report in a year, and after NYC last week, I thought Hubby had reached his limit, but he says, "No, go ahead, do a live trip report. It lets me control the tv while you talk to your friends." (As we meet more of my WDWDisney friends, he uses finger quotes around "friends" less and less.)

So, here we go, another live trip report. I really don't have the will to do a post trip report, so it's "live" or nothing. Once I'm out of the bubble, I'm out.

Introductions.

That would be me, Jennifer, on the left. Big Disney fan, big Blue Jays fan, big Hubby fan. Ace, in the middle - although he will always be BJ Birdie to me. Hubby, Mike, on the right. Although Mike is the one who first introduced me to Disney in 1991, it's not really his thing. He goes with me most years to make me happy. And also for the food.

As with our past three trips, we will be spending 11 days, 10 nights at Coronado Springs Resort. We booked a BounceBack offer before checking out last year, before knowing how much construction would be going on. Oh well, it is what it is. And what it is, is my favourite resort in my Happy Place; so it's all good.

We have a Preferred King room booked, which means Casitas 1, 2, or 3. Nonetheless, I think I will be sending in a room preference fax tomorrow asking for a refurbed King room in either 7A or 8A. I'll be happy either way. I am ridiculously easy to please whilst in WDW.

Yes, I am one of those Free Dining parasites. By booking the BB offer last year, we are actually getting the full DDP for free, instead of having to upgrade from QDP. I put great thought and effort into our ADR's. Mike is a big guy and eats a lot. The heat and humidity really kills my appetite, so Mike eats at least half of my meals too. (I've recently packed on 20 pounds, so that may be a good thing.)

Next up, our somewhat loosey goosey itinerary.

So can you use snack credits for desserts then? We hardly ever had room for desserts anyway, but just knowing we COULD get one if we wanted was nice. But double the snack credits would be great too.
Yes, all the former QS desserts are still available, if you want to use a Snack Credit. The bonus is, you're not stuck with choosing a pretty mediocre dessert now. You can save it for something truly delicious later.

Casitas 3 to Cafe Rix ... maybe 200m. My hair is trashed. I'm not sure why I invested 3 minutes in "doing" it. :hilarious:

On the plus side, I've got caffeine. Straight up coffee for Mike. Café mocha for me. (50% coffee, 50% hot chocolate - 100% delicious!)

Casitas 1 and 2 are being refurbed - total room gut jobs and exterior painting of the entire buildings. I like the new colour schemes a lot. Sadly, all of my favourite fountains and pergolas are blocked off. The fountains are still running though, so I can see and hear them from the walking path.

Just a couple of pics.

Isn't there a hint of caramel in the rum?
:hilarious:

Lunch at BoG today. I will NOT be using a snack credit for dessert here. :hungover: Dinner at Garden Grill. I see a decided dearth of caramel in our future today.

What I do see however, are Dole Whip floats; so life is good. Even better now that we can enjoy them in the Tiki Room.

Have a great day everyone. We're headed out in about 20 minutes or so. Mark it down. This is early for us.

Mike: Why didn't we go to Momento Mori last night?"
Me: Because we were only here for 90 minutes.
