Trip Report If At First You Don't Succeed...*COMPLETED*

Well we're trying again.

Easter week at WDW.

Not my favorite week to visit but when your travel buddy is a teacher, you make the sacrifice. Except this year it doesn't feel like a sacrifice. The loss of our Easter 2020 vacation (thanks to COVID) was harder than I expected. I’m excited to have the chance for a do-over!

Of course the plans we had in 2020 aren't the same for 2021. We'll have no Fastpasses to skip the long lines. There will be no turkey sammie for lunch at Be Our Guest or All-American Sundae from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. No fireworks to conclude our Disney days. And we'll be staying at a different resort.

But that's all okay....there's still fun to be had! And thanks to the credit we received from last year's cancellation, most of our trip is already paid.

I have to give David's Vacation Club Rentals props. Eighteen months ago I'd signed a "no refunds" contract for our 2020 points rental, figuring it was a low-risk gamble. When the pandemic happened and WDW closed, we considered our monies lost ~ disappointing for sure, but understanding that was the result of the risk we took. After all, David's is a business which would also lose money from this pandemic. Legally they did not have to do anything for us. Yet I received a travel voucher for the full amount we paid.

I hope to report live on the adventures of Tuvalu and Em beginning next Sunday. Time will tell if I succeed. ;)

Room is ready. All Star Movies must think we’re a couple, rather than mother/daughter.

A couple of years ago I checked into a hotel with my teen (she must have been 13 or 14 at the time) and specifically chose two beds when I made the reservation. The person checking us in said “if you’d like, we can give you a king room”. Um, no, I’d rather have the room type I reserved!

I can agree! I love my mother but we do not have the same sleep regime and sleeping apart gives you at least a bit of room to get into your daily sleeping routine

First stop...
NOT CHICK FILA? I know it's closed on Sundays, though. Dunkin is a fantastic substitute!

Dude, this happened to mom and me when we traveled in 2019, but it was our only option so it wasn't a big deal. Thank goodness we don't kick in our sleep! :geek:

What's the point of a Spaceship Earth photopass without Spaceship Earth??:jawdrop::jawdrop::banghead:

Em saw the Spaceship in Spaceship Earth for the first time. I’d found it on a previous trip with Woody. No picture since it’s too dark in there. However, check out the “Spaceship in Spaceship Earth” thread if you want details/pics.

On a mission to find Nemo.

It seems when a line is continually moving, people disregard all markers and practically walk on your heels. Very frustrating.

We left the Seas pavilion without saying hello to the manatees, sorry @k8einwdw.

Are you REALLY sorry?

Fine, we’ll take the stairs.

Have I mentioned how much I HATE vinyl dividers?

Lots of pretty spring color in here!

Completing three attractions in an hour was impressive.

Know what’s not impressive?

Floating planters with plain greenery, not flowers.

A kids “playground” with spray painted circles to “create your own game.”

And the only thing worse than giant lagoon tacos is a giant loop that resembles something Evel Knievel would jump through on his motorcycle.
