We started a slow walk leaving the park. Final day is always a bummer. The day turned out better than expected. The rain stopped late in the morning and allowed us to enjoy the park without being soaked.

We Ubered (is that a verb ?) from MCO to Kissimmee which was about a half hour drive down Rte 417. It was around $40.

Just some random pictures that my daughter sent me that were on her phone so I didn't have them on my laptop. First one is the bum-squad who dressed for a cool, rainy HS day, but the sun was out right after noon. You can see the blue skies in the background. I'd also like to point out that is...

It was time to fuel up we so stopped at our favorite quick service place. We fill the table up with appetizers and just pick as a family. I got my usual beer flight. My choices this trip were Golden Road hefeweizen, Stone Delicious IPA, North Coast Red Seal, and a hearty lager that I forget...

i did some wandering around while my wife and daughter waiting in the Toy Story Mania line. Just a few random observations......

This was the queue that I hopped out of line for Toy Story Mania. I have never been to this part of the line in the hundreds of times I've been on the attraction. No wait in the Lighting Lane :rolleyes:

Classic Disney pic. We made our way over to Toy Story Mania. I am not a fan. When my kids were younger I would be the champion every time. Now, I'm lucky if I can beat my wife. I also end up with a sore wrist after the ride. I actually hopped out of the queue and told the family I'd meet them...

We hung around Sunset for a while and walked through the shops. It was very breezy so we hopped in and out of the stores. I had to take a picture of the "balloon guy" because I thought he could float away at any moment. I took that picture with my first Long Island Iced Tea of the day which was...

We made our way back to the car to head to Hollywood Studios. As you can see, the rain was ending. We came dressed for a drenching, and that wasn't going to happen. It was a gray day with a healthy breeze. There's only a limited amount of people wearing shorts (me) :rolleyes: You can always...

I thought the remodel of the old Wave to Steakhouse 71 was really sharp. I took no pictures of the food because I think I was just complaining the whole time. I can get hangry, but at times when I was really disgusted I've just ordered a Bloody Mary with no food. I did that once at Art Smiths...

Although there were 20 mph wind gusts and driving rain, the lifeguards were still out there at the Contemporary. My daughter was a lifeguard there a few years ago with the Disney College Program. She said the only way they can leave the pool is if there's lighting in the area. We were early so...

Good for you. Hope it's a good one !

It was our final day at Disney and we had a breakfast reservation for Steakhouse 71. It was blustery and wet. The last time I visited the parks with my daughter it poured for the Food and Wine Festival. I swore that I would be prepared for the next rainy visit with Crocs and a rain jacket...

We left Epcot and decided to stop by Saratoga Springs to see if there was any interesting DVC merchandise in the shop. It was on our way to Best Friends kennel so why not do a "Welcome Home ?" The place was quiet on an early January evening. There wasn't much in the shop so we left with...

Thanks for your report. Might I suggest that you stay at a hotel in Kissimmee that is pet-friendly or reserve an AIRBNB that accepts pets. We've done both, and it is better for your dog. We put up my daughter's dog at the Disney Best Friend Kennel who houses the dogs until one hour after the...

Depends on the meal. For brunch....hands down.....Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'. Fried green tomatoes and the Southern Mary bloody Mary. For dinner.....love The Boathouse. Need at least a dozen of the top oysters; there's usually at least four different choices. I usually make a selection from...

It was a fitting end to a long day at Epcot. We said we were going to take our time and enjoy a full day at Epcot and not have to worry about park hopping and getting back to go pick up the dog from Best Friends. I didn't mind standing in line for our grilled cheese and tomato soup, although I...

Onboard Rev. Looking forward to it.

Appreciate your feedback. I can eat anything, but my wife and daughter who are absolute lobster lovers did not care for it at all. Also agree that the dill brioche was nothing spectacular either. I tasted no dill whatsoever.

That was our starting position for 45 minutes. I couldn't imagine where the line went yesterday when they said it was four hours long. I saw people who had 12 of these hanging around their neck. The buzz of 'they're going for $500 on Ebay' set everyone into a tizzy. I just wanted a few to stow...
