Trip Report No Sounds Like Summer? We'll JOURNEY Anyway! *COMPLETED*

It was this week last summer that @TrolleyFollower91 and I had an epic girls trip to WDW.

http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/...e-july-journey-completed.917246/#post-7369605

On our first day we rocked to the music of DSB ~ the ultimate Journey tribute band ~ at the America Gardens Theater in Epcot. It was an event we'll always remember. DSB was the final band in the annual "Sounds Like Summer" concert series. The lead singer said the band was looking forward to returning next summer.

And here we are.....it's "next summer."

But there has been no "Sounds Like Summer" concert series in 2017.
No DSB.

Don't. Stop. Believin'.

Em and I refuse to go our Separate Ways. We have too much fun together. We have one last chance to do WDW together before school starts and by golly we're gonna do it....even without DSB.

Want to tag along?

Attempting a full-fledged LIVE trip report is daunting and difficult, so I decided to follow @TheMouseFan's lead and be LIVE-ish. Real time pics and updates to be expanded on after my return home.

Oh, and I will finish my currently-in-progress trip report.

Who's ready for Summer #2?

We are!!

Who needs bottled water when you have a lake with nice clean water right next to you...

Well we did find some water...

We'll be here awhile.

No flushing would also be my biggest isue.
Wait, is there coffee? Because if not the flushing would be no. 2.

Our private show begins in 3 minutes.

So sad it's closing!

We didn't want to leave the pool.
God said, "It is time."

Awesome meeting you as well!

The International Gateway entrance to Epcot is no longer as pretty as it used to be.

(For the unaware, this will be the gondola station for Epcot from CBR, Pop and AoA.)

While it was "pretty" (your words) before at least now it will be more functional.

So does that count as "Running water"?

We should have stepped outside to shower.
For the last two hours, WL has had NO HOT WATER!!!!!!
We have a dinner ADR to make.
Cold shower = NOT MAGICAL

Yes, yes, I can see the correlation between the WL pool and Roman Baths. WL managment was trying to give their guests a new experience this morning, instead of the same boring showers.

(Better check your bill upon check-out though, and make sure they didn't slip in an upcharge for this. )

Thursday, July 27

Day is not starting off magical. We have NO WATER!!

Called the front desk. "The hotel has no water. We are working on it."

WHAT??????!!!!!!!

No brushing teeth, no washing and most important....no flushing.

I think I preferred last night's surprise.

I feel your pain...at my job, we current,y have no A/C and we're working in a construction zone why they retrofit the building with a new unit. Thankfully, they haven't done anything to our water....yet.

The one on the right, of course!

I was on vacation (sadly a non-Disney trip) and am finally getting caught up on my TRs. Thanks for thinking of me when you chose your snack. YUM ! Wish I was enjoying one right now. I need to get back to Disney ASAP.
