Trip Report Already? 2 broke guys for 2 more days of Music & Mickey! Live-ish!

Yes, yes, I know we just got back. We went in the middle of December, then again for Christmas, then again in the middle of January, and now - our third month in a row…

When: Feb 2-4
Where: All-Star Music, and All-Star Music (you’ll see.)
Who:

Tony

And Brian

Wait, wait - that’s not right. Pretty close, but not right. Let’s try again.

Tony

And Brian

OK but those were reject “blooper” pics from our last TR. Here’s one where we’re overdressed:

That’ll do.

And…Mickey.

 

[Swissmiss]

Pretty much packed!

Pretty much haven’t booked anything except an Epcot park reservation for Monday. (None needed Tuesday or Wednesday.)

Pretty excited!

Yay!

 

[Tony the Tigger]

OK, I’ve officially blown it as far as getting the LL for Guardians goes. I just went to purchase it, and the earliest time was 4:55pm. Since my Tron LL is 6pm and train home is at 9pm (and I’ll have to go back to the hotel for bags first) I think we’ll put this off yet again.

I’m ok with that! Bring on Tron.

Currently at Restore Hyper Wellness in Boca, getting a hydration/vitamin drip to be in tip top shape! B is at work until 5, should be in the Lyft to the airport around 6. ETA: ended up in the Lyft at 6:20. Plenty of time.

Might as well look at meals while I’m sitting…

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Getting started at FLL!

Buc-ees who?

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Does Spirit Airlines have pixie dust?

I had purchased some new thing where you pay $10 each extra, and the middle seat is blocked out, so a couple can have a row to themselves.

When we got to the gate, they upgraded us to the big front seats! (They usually charge a lot for those.) We got split up (seats 1A and 2A) but my big chooch has more legroom.

I’m still not paying $5.99 for internet on a one hour flight, so I’ll confirm when we get where we’re going!

Starting off well! Still haven’t booked anything.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Note: this upgraded seat includes free drinks - including a double Buffalo Trace, neat.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Landed! Best. Flight. Ever. By the time they served our drinks, it was time for tray tables up! Brian had to chug his double. I had wisely poured only one, saving the other bottle in my pocket - so now I don’t have to go buy an $18 baby bottle o’ Jack.

I am loving this too much.

No checked bags, so just a walk to the terminal, and I think cabs are faster than Lyfts. Probably could have made it to Disney Springs for a drink, but who needs it?

Tonight we’re at the Delta again. ASM tomorrow!

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Checked in to room 426 (my Dad’s bday 4/26!)

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Whoops…can’t stop, won’t stop. (This will help me sleep. Haven’t been in one of these probably in over a decade - but it’s next door to the hotel.)

Hot chocolate, splitting a turkey club and teeny side of pancakes. Then it’s nappy time! Tomorrow is a magical day.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Sleep was not bad. I woke up the first time at 5am (not enough) and then B around 6:30. We decided to take advantage of the 7 AM breakfast and thought it might help us finish up a little more nap. The breakfast is usually $14.95, but when I booked the room, I added it for something like five bucks total for both of us. It was well worth it. Standard fare: pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuits, lots of fresh fruit, potatoes, all of that. A notch better quality than your typical La Quinta or the like.

We did go back to sleep and woke up around 10:30 AM. I made a quick stop at the gym, we took our showers, and we are currently waiting for the Lyft to take us to All-Star music! A little on the late side, kind of defeating the purpose of coming up the night before, but still not exhausted from the travel time up, had we come up this morning. No room ready text yet, but we have to drop off our bags, anyway.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

First time ever we had to check our bags. Not complaining, that’s a pretty good record! Dropped them outside of ASM, hopefully not forgetting anything important (got my magic band, wallet & meds!) After a quick welcome back walk through the gift shop, we hopped onto the Epcot bus.

I wonder if anyone else we know is there…

 

[Tony the Tigger]

The Moana water feature really is perfect for a hot day!

 

[Tony the Tigger]

First Disney movie we ever watched together, on one of our first dates. Brian already loved it and I had not seen it yet.

Does my shirt look Epcot-y?

Our room is ready lol.

Country fair? Why are you punishing us?

I guess they have plenty of time before we get back for our bags to be there.

Lines are long IMO

30 minutes for Nemo is a bad sign. Sidenote: I have visited four water fountains, and none have worked. “The magic is gone!”

 

[Tony the Tigger]

We have a winner!

5 minutes. Woo hoo!

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Huge fave person of mine since Mork.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

OK, seriously, that whole thing can be demolished. Start over. New Figment ride. Why not?

Country fair? Why are you punishing us?

Oof, that is a HIKE.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Who will we meet courtesy of Chase Disney visa?

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Oof, that is a HIKE.

Worse: its country!
