Trip Report Hakunamatata's Ultra .000001%er 2017 "Whats All This Pandoramonium About?" Trip Report

(This trip takes place May 25, 2017 through June 11, 2017).

This year the 'matata family is celebrating a few milestones (I really hope to get one of those special "milestone celebration" magical fastpasses). One of which is the daughter turned 18 this last fall. We were initially going to do a Disney cruise but a couple people in the family have iffy constitutions and likely would have been life flighted off the ship half way through due to severe motion sickness and claustrophobia. So we elected instead to do an extended land vacation at Universal (3 days) and Walt Disney World (11 days).

We will be driving to our destination via our Honda Pilot SUV. During our Universal portion of the trip we will be staying at the gorgeous TownPlace Suites - Flamingo Crossings. During the WDW portion of our trip we will be staying at Disneys Polynesian Village Resort and Fruity Adult Beverage Oasis. Way back in the day when vacationing as a young chap I remember the monorail trip from the TTC to the MK, passing over the Poly thinking to myself, "self, hopefully you will stay there one day before they take out the big lobby water fountain and create DVC rooms and pier top huts over the aligator infested waters of Seven Seas Lagoon". Well, didnt make it before some of those things happened, but I am going to get to stay there none the less.

I hope to be able to "live" report during our trip. We were not expecting to be there during the grand reveal of The World of Pandora, but I am looking forward to the sparkly bling of a jewelry themed land. For the benefit of all that follow, know that I will have received countless eye roles and stink-eye looks bringing you this live report as well as a number of "your taking a picture of that?" and "another churro?" questioning.

So in the words of Walt Disney....."For all those who come to this happy place, we accept cash and credit cards only, no checks please".

Enjoy!

Hey, my trip with youngest son will overlap with yours! He's 17 and graduating high school in three weeks.

We'll be at the MK on Sunday, the 4th with an afternoon stop at TL. We'll also be at AK the evening of Tuesday, the 6th. I'll be at a conference Mon-Wed for work (Gartner), but will be touring with the boy in the evenings.

They have chicken nuggets and mac & cheese at all three locations?

For the record, the only place I eat chicken nuggets is McDonalds and even that is rare. And I'm very picky about my mac N cheese so I rarely eat that anywhere outside of my own house. :p

Pizzafari = Cheese flatbread
Restaurantosaurus = Cheeseburger (RIP McDonalds :cry:)
Rainforest Cafe = Cheeseburger (without onion ring) OR Chicken Parm if someone else is paying. :cautious:

My wife, from memory:

Pizzafari = Pepperoni pizza (we last ate there in 2012)
Never been to restaurantosaurus
Rainforest = Chicken quesadillas, chicken strips, China island chicken salad (don't know what china island dressing is, she probably subbed ranch), and she would eat the chicken sandwich minus the swiss, roasted peppers and zesty sauce.
