Trip Report I Will Survive.....Spring Break (with a hint of May) *COMPLETED*

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live among the Spring Break crowds
But then I spent so many nights thinking how I could be wrong
And I grew strong
And I knew I could get along....


Well that’s what I’m hoping for anyway. I’m not a newbie when it comes to navigating Spring Break at WDW. I’ve got a couple decades of experience under my belt. “Spring Break” isn’t a single week of cray cray crowds (like the week between Christmas and New Years) but is spread over March and April. Unfortunately one (or more) of those weeks can end up being cray cray....and these days, there is no way to predict which one.

Please don’t let it be this week.

But we are prepared. ADRs at 180 days. FPs at 60 days. Clothing for rain or shine. (Praying for shine ~ we’ve had enough rain over the last 4 months to set an ark afloat.) And attitudes willing to “go with the flow.” 🐢

My goal is to keep the updates live. Should I fail? There’s always Part “Tu”.

Who: Tuvalu, Woody and Em (the teacher whose schedule dictates when we go)
When: Sunday, March 31 - Sunday, April 7, 2019
Where: Port Orleans French Quarter
Why: Let’s hope we don’t ask ourselves this!
How: We’ve done the plane, can’t take the train....so it must be the automobile!

Will we be smiling at the end of the week? Stay tuned.

And if you don’t hang around for the smiles, you may want to peek in and see if there are any WDWMagic meet ups. I know of at least three forum friends I hope to encounter.

Now it’s off to bed! The alarm is set for zero-dark-thirty.

Shhh! Don’t tell Piggy Woody and I had ham for lunch!

Note: Em has become the turkey fiend in the family. She had the turkey BLT for lunch.

Woody and I shared the cookie. I am going for the record of How Many Chocolate Chip Cookies can I consume on vacation?

When Em finished she left to get herself some dessert. Salted caramel and dark chocolate ice cream from L’Artisan des Glaces.

Woody may have helped her finish it.

World Showcase is surprisingly not crowded!

Perhaps the runners are recovering?

Maybe the Michiganders have left for home?

Don’t care the reason. We’re loving the open pathways.

Sunflowers are diggin’ the sunshine. So are we. So glad I have carried around my umbrella as a rain prevention measure.

I’m singing a happy tune until I see this.

WHERE ARE THE LADY AND THE TRAMP TOPIARIES??!! They have been in the same spot beneath the staircase forever. And now they’ve been replaced by a wine kiosk and those camouflage bush thingies??!!

So I search to find these delightful pups.

Happy to report they have found a new home.

But I still prefer the old location.

We spent a third of the day in Epcot and did not ride a single attraction.

People might say we wasted our time (and/or money.)

Nothing could be further from the truth. We relished every relaxing moment.

Speaking of relaxing.....

Em and I are enjoying the view from our loungers.....

Kids are having so much fun on the serpent slide!

And we are trying to ignore what is happening overhead.
