Trip Report Did i eat paint chips as a baby?

Once again, it's your favorite trip reporters favorite trip reporter. Prognosticator of Prognosticators ( I don't know what that means I just like Groundhog Day), your buddy, your pal....9000!

I jumped the gun last fall and started a PTR in hopes of visiting in December, but alas,... life, work and the holiday season decided that was a no for me, dog! Even tho my plans of visiting WDW were dashed and i was bummed, I decided to take advice from America's favorite kitchen decor signage which is to Live, Laugh, Love.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I was able to get a DVC reservation which leads us to this unhackneyed report! What makes this trip a bit fresh and unusual is the resort I'll be staying at, but we'll get to that shortly. For now, let's get to the cast and crew of this warlock of a TR! There shall be 3 of us!

First up: Me, the most likely reported forum member of all time. I thank political humor for that title.

Second: My good buddy, Justin who joined me on my last trip. It was his first trip to WDW and he experienced all the trials and tribulations that come with visiting with me. Such as this Lil beauty (IYKYK)

It's Bailey! I'll share details later as to why he is joining us again.

When will we be visiting: late March

And now...Where are we staying? To answer this question, I shall ask you a question. You can call me Joshua, and you're Stephen W. Falken becuase my question is...

The game? Can you name the resort that when people say the name of said resort they tend to not say the full and complete name of the resort but instead shorten it? And here's a hint, which if you've read my prior reports you will know that the shortened title of this resort makes me puke in my mouth when I hear it. There are two primary forms of the shortened resort name. Both make me equally puke the same amount. Now, name that resort??

Another thing that has REALLY started to annoy me, not puke in my mouth annoying, but just nerve racking is the over use of the word "hack". Especially in regards to Disney. Social Media influencers use the word "hack" when in reality is simply convenient information.

It's not a "hack" to order food from flame tree bbbq and walk around to the lower patio and have a view of Expedition Everest while you eat.

It's not a "hack" to use International Gateway entrance at Epcot.

This morning, I saw a YouTube short for DFB that said it was a "hack" to exit the monorail at TTC and use the ramp to the left to transfer to Epcot instead of to the right. Smh. In the video she even says that there are signs pointing you to the left. Ya, great hack.

Another word/phrase I hear the influencers use is "here's a Disney secret I bet you didn't know"! These are usually not as offensive as the "hacks" but sometimes it's far from a "secret".

I saw a video the other day that said there was a "secret" bar at Disney World. I first thought it might be the speakeasy at Enzos Hideaway or the tiny champagne bar at France Pavilion. No. It was Tune In Lounge at HS. The video said you need to walk ALL the way to the back of Echo Lake (the back?) and look for 50s Prime Time (because apparently it's hard to find 50s Prime Time) and then look for the Tune In Lounge door next to 50 Prime Time. They failed to mention the very large sign WITH AN ARROW that points to Tune In Lounge

Good thing the influencer shared this super secret and difficult to find bar with us!

It feels like.its getting more to difficult to just find quality social media accounts that don't attempt to click bait the daylights out of everything.


Some “influencers” can be OK, but, if I do watch now, for any length of time, it’s usually out of morbid curiosity.
One said, during a live stream the other day, that she didn’t care if you just put her streams or vlogs on in the background while doing laundry, dishes, etc., as she just needed the views. How pathetic.
And then they all say what a great community they all have, and sooo much better than others, that I just wanna’ retch.
And too many with the motivational speaker crap, too…as I said, morbid curiosity, if at all, but it’s getting less and less from my end.

Did we stop at the cult gas station and buy a grill, corn hole boards and oil painting? No. Just regular gas station

We are huge cult gas station followers, as we’re from Texas, and were followers long before it was cool…!!! ;)
But, have you ever been in a Buc-ee’s before…?! 🤔
That’s one “Takeover the world”-sized cult, these days (mice are kinda’ like beavers, right 🤔😁;))…!!!!! :hilarious:;)

We hit the after party over at Star Tours after RnR

We got a good sequence. Death star underwater and ice foxes.

It was time to experience the glitz and glamor of a bustling young movie town ..

And another A+ for Bailey in the kennel

When you drop a dog off in the kennel before riding they take you up the elevator that opens next to the loading area of the queue. It's always funny when you exit and they put you in a numbered spot to ride and the people in line are looking at you like, "who the heck are they"? Lol
