    Trip Report No Grit, No Pearl: a 30th Anniversary Trip

    After gussying ourselves up back in the room, we grabbed our umbrellas and slogged over to the TTC to catch a monorail to the Contemporary. We both wore waterproof shoes and brought shoes to change into once we got there. The event started at 8:20. When we arrived at around 7:40, there was one...

    Trip Report No Grit, No Pearl: a 30th Anniversary Trip

    E and I had decided that since this was a short trip, we would purchase Lightning Lanes multi passes for everyday except our AK day. For today, (Sun., Aug. 4) I was able to get HM at 3:15, JC at 4:15 and PoTC at 5:15. Tiana's was not available. As some of you saw, I got a Tron Group number 8...

    Okay, so let's get this most recent trip report started. Full disclosure, I did not take notes, so I am relying on my pictures to remind me. We flew out of Detroit on the morning of Sunday, August 4th. We opted for the Mears shuttle, and grocery delivery from Kroger. We had seen the Kroger...

    Thanks for following along! When DD saw the aztec-ish outfit, she said, "that outfit!" I'm taking it as a compliment even thought I'm quite sure it wasn't meant as one. 🤣 She did approve of the blue striped dress though! Thanks a bunch! 😍Those were the days, for sure! In hindsight, I...

    Here are some from MK. I feel like this must have been taken from the People Mover. These are from the Mickey Mania Parade.

    This is obviously from the Luau. I remember making the reservation in the Poly lobby. 🌺 Here are some from Epcot: There was a character breakfast at Coral Reef. I'm pretty sure our travel agent made the reservation in advance for this one. Scuba Mickey! Illuminations was not a thing yet...

    Ahoy Mateys! Or anniversary trip has come and gone. Before I report on this trip, please take a trip down memory lane with me. We were wed on August 6, 1994 and we arrived on our Honeymoon trip on August 7. We stayed at the Polynesian and I wish I could remember the building we stayed in! I...

    Let's wrap this up! 2/4 Departure day. The original plan for today was to go to MK again. However, we were tired and it was supposed to rain, so we decided to sleep in and rope drop the Steakhouse 71 lounge. Our bus was picking us up at 2:30, so we had a few hours to kill. We enjoyed some...

    There's plenty of room on the balcony because it's a different one than the regular restaurant patrons use.

    2/3 Epcot and Celebration at the Top Today would be our last full day and we had really been looking forward to Celebration at the Top. Since we had ridden Soarin' 3 times on our last Epcot day, we decided to rope drop Test Track. Again, the CMs who hold people off before rope drop did an...

    2/2 MK E was the winner for securing our Tron boarding group again and he scored Group 4! Genie + was also purchased for today. With the crowds that week, it would have been impossible to get a lot of rides in without it. But first, the most amazing breakfast! We had a 7:40 ADR for Kona Cafe...

    2/1 Epcot E secured us group 16 for Cosmic Rewind! We purchased Genie + for today mainly because we wanted to get a LL for Remy's. Our most recent trips have included a stay at Boardwalk, so rope dropping Remy's was easy. It had been quite awhile since we'd monorailed to Epcot. It's a lovely...

    1/31 MK and moving day. Disney still makes it pretty easy to do a split stay. They will move everything except refrigerated groceries. Since we already knew that, we purposely didn't order any groceries that would require refrigeration and only put the amount of drinks in the fridge that we...

    1/30 Second day at AK Not wanting to buy another ILL for today, we rope dropped FoP. It was a lovely morning! We are so accustomed to being here in the unbearable heat of the summer. It was really so nice to be wearing pants and a long sleeved shirt and being comfortable. The safari was...

    1/29 Day 2 at HS Since we hadn't ridden ToT on our first day at HS, we decided to purchase an ILL for Rise today. This would be the first time that we've thrown extra money at Disney, but it wouldn't be the last. :grumpy: We knew we wouldn't be staying as late today and I think our ILL was for...
