Ok let’s get the trip report going again and see if I can get it all posted before Alisa arrives in 5 days! 😁 Tuesday, October 1st Barely a few hours later, Jerome and Alisa managed to get themselves up and out for EMH at DHS! And another Ogas Cantina reservation I had booked for all 4 of us...

Ok @dclfan I had literally just written this as an end entry to the trip report which I’ve finally finished writing (just need to upload with pictures!) But we can interrupt here instead impatient Twin 😂 So... Disney/Twin update… it’s not WDW and it’s not Florida… but… Alisa is coming over to...

Ah thank you! It’s probably our favourite place in all of the world to sit and take all the Disney in and think about trips past and future! ❤️

Plenty of drinks were had and we were then all very full and sleepy after the show, so we decided to make our way out of Epcot and back to the resort. Somehow at this point though we diverted to Crews Cup Lounge at the Yacht Club… for another 3 hours!! Ha ha ha we’d all been ready to wind down…...

Jerome was on his way (he literally was flying into Orlando after coming back from his job) but would still be another 30 minutes or so, so we started with some drinks and the hummus/dips and olives and bread! Tasty. Jerome arrived and we spent the hour catching up, enjoying drinks and...

We rode the buckets back over to International Gateway and went to collect some more drinks from the room. I think… I can’t quite remember actually, but the next photos on my phone we are on the bench swings at the Beach Club so I think we must have! We then returned to Epcot for the...

Walking with our now pretty feet we headed back to Alisa’s room for some drinks and to meet back with Russ. What would we do next…? BUCKETS!! More drinks in hand (vodka and grapefruit juice- we’d meant to buy cranberry juice, but apparently none of us noticed until later in the day when we...

I think Alisa got one of the Kenyan Coffee BBQ Beef things in Africa and I stopped in Mexico’s Choza de Tequila for a frozen margarita. We started to head back around the showcase to get back to International Gateway, as our spa appointment was coming up. As we were near the exit Alisa...

Monday September 30th What were our plans today? Illuminations and THE BUCKETS of course!! The buckets were open! And Russ had said if he had had enough alcohol he maaaay give them a try. It was the last night for Illuminations and we had a table at Spice Road Table booked! Alisa and I also had...

Saturday 28th - Sunday 29th September So for the next 3 nights we were staying at a friend’s house in Orlando! We had the house to ourselves, so got to pretend we were living as Floridians for a couple of days! We didn’t actually get up to too much this weekend, we’d had plans to go to Seaworld...

The paths in Tomorrowland were pretty crowded- more than a usual day- along with wait-times for rides being like a busy MK day. We made our way through the hub to see if it was less busy in Frontierland. At least this bridge was clear! And the sky perfect! After a (slow) tour of the treat...

We called Bell Services for our bags and they were in our room within 20 minutes. After having a beer on the balcony and taking in the sights of the monorail and the castle and the sounds outside the Magic Kingdom and across Bay Lake, we took a wander over the bridge that connects BLT to the...

By this time we were nearing check-in time for Bay Lake Tower so we decided to head over and see if our room would be ready. We grabbed a bus to The Contemporary and went to reception to check-in. Room was ready! New magicband! We made our way to BLT via the back of the Contemporary and...

From here we headed onto the next FP- Everest! Russ doing his Stacey impression about there being no more track! Back row of course and fun as always! We were hungry after this and I was craving another Mickey Pretzel, so we decided to grab one along with trying out the snack size Yak...

Friday September 2 This morning we woke up and had a relaxed morning once again. I facetimed my sister and niece and was showing them the Savannah from our balcony and catching up with what we’d both been doing the past week. The giraffes were finally out! Afterwards Russ and I packed up...

Here was my attempt of portrait mode selfies with Russ (he was not as willing a participant as Alisa for multiple photos!):joyfull: After this we headed onto Star Tours. Enjoyable as always! In the shop we looked out for the holiday droid- it’s become kind of a tradition for us to buy a...

Being slightly full and in the hot sunshine, when we reached the Yacht Club we decided to catch a friendship boat the rest of the way. Sitting here, I kid you not someone started whistling the Jurassic Park tune- our dinosaur theme tune! “Even Russ turned to me and said do you here that...

Next we continued on walking and decided upon the Venison Stew at The Alps booth next. It was tasty- this was good! More eats- the China booth for Ribs and Dumplings! These were both delicious, but the ribs were really, really good. Flavourful & juicy. Almost tied with the pork slider...

Thursday September 26th We didn’t have any real set plans today so no early alarms were set. Alisa had to get back to Tampa for work so had to leave about 11.30am so we got up and over to the Mara at Jambo house for breakfast before she had to leave. We actually ended up making it there at...

We had the weirdest server in this lounge- he kept just appearing at the table out of nowhere as if he’d creeped up behind us and he also spoke really strangely. I can’t explain it, it was just a really slow pace he spoke at and would end every sentence with “you’re welcooooooome” and not in a...
