Trip Report Soon it will just be two of us - A very unique Max Trip Report

Hello to all of my WDWMagic friends

For those that did not notice I am back now from an extended absence from the boards even though @Tuvalu did her best to keep me engaged
The reason for the disappearing act was a very special (and time consuming) event
So we start this report with a wonderful trip down the aisle...

Stephanie and Jordan got married!!!

The venue was a (very) local golf course (5 min drive from our house)
Both the ceremony and reception were in the same room

Pictures at the house - Cassie was the maid of honour

The grooms people were (left to right) a combination of Jordan's brother Evan, his best man is his best friend from high school( also named Jordan!) , his two close friends from University (Maria and Roshni) and Cassie's BF Shane

This one was just before the walk down the aisle - I held it together - no blubbering at all!

When you spend a small fortune on a wedding you get a front row seat!!!

Wrap up
So this truly was a couple of very unique trips

Stephanie and Jordan’s wedding day was amazing. However the lead up to it was jammed packed and stressful
So when the chance came for Tricia and I to have a getaway (even if it was short) we jumped at at

But this created the second unique trip - sans children!!

How did it go?
Well overall it was a really good trip

The good:
A return to my favourite resort ( @lostpro9het will back me up on this one)
Three of my favourite rides (Indy, Mission breakout, Radiator Racers)
Pixar Pier theming including Incredicoaster ( well done Disney)
Riding the Falcon
Grand Californian (awesome view)
Stitch first photo shots in California
HM and small world Christmas overlays

The Bad
Not having the whole family together
Galaxy Edge - I call it a miss- even for me who is a SW fan since 77- which I think is why- it really is only aimed at fans of the last 3 films
Christmas in early November- we just could not completely buy in that early
Trying to cram it all into a little over 2 days - it is getting harder with age
Tricia will dispute it but the shopping was excessive
The cantina was overpriced - notgood value

The Ugly
Cafe Orleans

Thanks you to @Tuvalu and Amy (@ajrwdwgirl ) for their advice in the planning stage

And thanks to everyone for following
Hopefully I maintained my TR standard in this one

Thank you for another good report, I enjoyed following along.

I also had to cram Disneyland into two days ( actually two partial days) and you’re right that it’s pretty hard to do!! But still two days at Disney is always better than no days at Disney 😊

❤️ Your trip report. It’s funny I envy your trip sans kids since we are in the thick of it. I loved following along. It kept my own trip so fresh and I was able to see some of the things I missed with the hustle to get the kids to their next must do ride.

Thank you for sharing your trip with us! I am determined to get us to California in the near future so I can experience DLR myself instead of having to live vicariously through everyone else's trips! Hoping all is well with you guys and with the newlyweds!!
