    APRIL 8, MONDAY: EPCOT, again (continued) After final hugs, we departed from our new friends, and headed back into Future World. On the way, I saw the popcorn stand with the different flavors. When we were there over Christmas, they were out of all the flavors but buffalo every time we...

    Wow, I am so sorry about the delay with this report, all! Real life got in the way hard. My grandpa was in and out of the hospital, the rehab place we sent him to that seemed great ended up being awful (to the point they're afraid we'll sue them), and now he's in a new rehab place, doing fine...

    Wow, I've been gone for a hot minute! Sorry about the super late reply. :( My mom likes onions, so I'm not sure that was it. She genuinely couldn't put her finger on it at the time. I've definitely seen it being on and off the menu. I wonder if it's due to the ingredients' availability? Or...

    That makes sense. Because it was just dead! I know--I thought the same thing! Was he getting such great video or pictures that he had to ruin that family's photo (and possibly block their view of certain things)? Geez.

    APRIL 8, MONDAY: EPCOT, again (continued) During this time, Ariel and Eric had also come in and they started making the rounds. They were both sweet, though I think Eric’s friend looked a little…young? He definitely looked younger in person. Then Ariel insisted my mom get a picture too...

    APRIL 8, MONDAY: EPCOT, again We were dragging the next morning, since neither of us slept as well as we’d hoped (we’re just not built for sharing beds anymore, I guess), but luckily our breakfast ADR was nice and close (as a deference to my mom, I only planned 1 breakfast ADR not within...

    That's so interesting! We're never had to in 18 years! That's why it caught us so off guard. And the bed closes no problem with the sheets and blanket on it (we're also closers). And there's a spot for the pillows where it folds down (in the image below, stolen from Google, the pillow "cubbies"...

    APRIL 7, SUNDAY: CHECK-IN DAY AND EPCOT Final Part On the way out, we took a bunch of (bad) pictures: And then we made our way back to Beach Club, ready for bed. But first, we stopped in the Marketplace to buy our reusable mugs. We’re a big believer in these mugs, as we’re almost...

    APRIL 7, SUNDAY: CHECK-IN DAY AND EPCOT Part 8 After our time living with the land, we still had some time to kill before our final FP of the day. So we decided to check the wait times for Joy and Sadness. My mom has never met them, and I only did once when I went on that ill-fated trip with my...

    APRIL 7, SUNDAY: CHECK-IN DAY AND EPCOT Part 7 My mom had gone to check out the options while I was soarin’, so she already knew what she wanted when I got back! So off I went to pick what I wanted and to order for us. We had something special planned later in the night, so I was told “no...

    APRIL 7, SUNDAY: CHECK-IN DAY AND EPCOT Part 5 After cooling off for a while and eating snacks CMs brought around and drinking a whole ton of water (I love the Coke Freestyle machines they offer at the DVC lounge, and my mom definitely took advantage getting her weird orange Diet Coke, but I...

    Definitely! I imagine a lot of people bring some sort of tray, so that made the CM's reaction even funnier :hilarious: They were so good! Especially that wine slushy. Mmmmm.... :hungry: Awesome! Cape May is one of our favorite vacation spots! We like Wildwood, too, but we love Cape May's...

    Thank you! It has a holographic top coat, which is just perfect for Disney when it shines in the sun! It's definitely an adventure! And I think worth it to do, at least once. I'd definitely recommend either the roomette or bedroom, though! Thanks! We've eaten at Beaches and Cream a ton of...

    APRIL 7, SUNDAY: CHECK-IN DAY AND EPCOT Part 3 A nice surprise was waiting for us on the queen bed! (I love a towel "animal," no matter how small! Though it was the only one we got all week.) No sooner had we settled down to have our free breakfast then there was a knock at the door! I went...

    You got it! I will include a dedicated egg post soon :) I definitely have thoughts about BC, haha. Every CM we encountered there was beyond fantastic. But there were also a few things that happened that had us scratching our heads, which I'll mention soon. Overall, we really did love it. Though...
