    I can’t promise too many updates in the next few days because we are taking care of this little girl: She showed up on our back deck a few nights ago. I saw her on the security camera and thought I was seeing a raccoon, but when I realized it was a cat we went out to see her. She was...

    Day 2, cont. On the way to the monorail I just HAD to stop and take this photo with so few people in the way: And here is where the title comes from: on our way to the monorail we saw a train approaching the MK station. We *could* have run to make that train but decided it against it...

    Day 2, cont. There was a big loud family on the boat that appeared to be two adult siblings plus their respective spouses, and their kids (five total). There were three boys ranging from about 8-12, one girl of 10ish, and a toddler girl in a stroller. One of the moms really wanted the older...

    Day 2, cont. Within a few minutes we were pulling up to Wilderness Lodge for our reservation at Whispering Canyon Café. We had enough time to visit the bathroom before checking in. This was our first time using mobile check in and it was convenient, if a little strange, to not have to go...

    Day 2: Tuesday, August 17 We slept in and didn't leave the room to get breakfast until almost 11:00. Luckily Contempo Café serves breakfast until 11:30! We Shared a Bounty Platter but replaced the meat with potatoes. Since potatoes are already included, it was A LOT of potatoes! It really...

    Day 1, cont. We went through monorail security with no issue and waited just a minute or so before a train arrived. Yes I 100% sang the opening of "The Circle of Life" while we waited. We boarded and another couple sat across from us but other than that the car was empty. We sat at the GF...

    I think that's part of why people think we are younger as well. During the last 18 months we have loved working from home and have been (in many ways) happier. Plus we are both exercising more regularly and consistently now than we were before. So where other people have been way more stressed...

    Day 1, cont. We approached the Gluten Free (I started calling it that as a joke years ago and it has stuck!) and found our way to the main building. We took the elevator to the second floor. On our way up we noticed that there was a pianist played on the ground floor of the lobby. The...

    Here are some missing pictures from this day’s lunch. I don’t know why I couldn’t find them before. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Day 1, cont. After we had sat outside for awhile it actually started to rain so we gave up on swimming and went back to the room. M was sooo sad that we had put on the sunscreen for nothing. We were starting to get hungry so we decided to get dressed and go to Trader Sam's Tiki Terrace for some...

    OMG that's amazing! That's hilarious! I only get carded for anything in Florida. They must have stricter punishments for violators than other parts of the country. Spoiler: We did get to see the Water Pageant on this trip! Not from our room, though.

    Day 1, cont. After lunch we stopped at BVG to check out the merch. Love seeing all the Pride merch! These shirts always make me think of @Tuvalu and @TrolleyFollower91 💜 I'm going to pretend this was an intentional placement of two "Bride" hats together to celebrate Pride. After this we...

    Day 1, cont. We found our way back through the maze and to the elevator. We were a little bummed that the covered walkway from the tower to our wing was closed due to construction, but we also knew that the construction everywhere was the reason we were able to get the room rate we got! RIP...

    It makes me so mad every time I go somewhere with a competent airport and then come back to...that. :rolleyes: Welcome! It gets better! Thank you! I try to find humor in the annoying families rather than getting too upset about them. :joyfull: Haha, I'm sure at some point I will stop putting...

    Day 1, cont. We have visited the Contemporary dozens of times to eat, drink, shop, and just hang out. Walking into the lobby and knowing we were staying there this time instead of just visiting was surreal. I know the theming (or lack of theming) of the Contemporary doesn't appeal to a lot of...

    Day 1, cont. Once we were off the plane we made our way to baggage claim. Can I just say that having to DRAG our own luggage to the DME is really a DRAG??? There was a sign near the DME check in desks that said the approximate wait for a bus would be 45 minutes. Would this turn out to be...

    Day 1, cont. With less than half an hour before boarding, we exited the wrong part of the area and RAN to find the correct security checkpoint. The hallways leading from one area to the next at EWR are LONG and narrow so we literally had to run past other travelers to get there. We also had...
