Congratulations to all three of you on the graduation and the job!!

Thank you! It’s from Amazon. Can’t take the nice ones out in the rain and I didn’t feel like wrapping a nice one up in its own poncho (so many did though!) I’m not quite back at the wedding stage of life (give me about 4 years) so I have only been to one or two the past 5 years. Not really...

Happy (rainy) Derby! Brought 7 high school / college girls so I am reading trip reports on the forums to pass this last hour because I am OVER the infield life! 😁. I aged out of this area 20 years ago. 😩 Luckily the girls are having a blast!

Yes - congratulations!

I am so, so sorry for your loss! Great Danes are such gentle giants when they are older. I know it has to seem like the house is so empty without her. And a loss of rhythm to your day. My daughter’s cat doesn’t care when I feed her, but my kids/ our dogs want to be fed and walked at almost the...

It does NOT sound bad that you were enjoying your break! Caretaking is one of the hardest jobs - you have to take breaks to keep from burning out. 💕 Enjoying the report - Looking forward to reading the rest!

Congrats!

I’ll second this. And I’ll say that Express Pass (which we got by staying at Royal Pacific) made it feel like we were on our own VIP tour. No waits ever. And so easy to walk out of the park and eat at City Walk, go back to our room to rest, etc.

I agree about Express Pass. Express Pass made the trip for my group. If we were asked to go to Universal in the summer heat without Express Pass - I’m not sure we would think it was worth it. It would make for a very long, hot tiring day. Hagrids is worth the wait though. My favorite coaster ever.

Finished Orbital for Book Club. It was….. interesting- in the way most award winning books are….some of us missed (what the author says was) the point - some of us got it. Almost all of us struggled to finish the book. Don’t be fooled by the tiny size - it’s a big effort to get through it!

Love this moment in both Trip Reports! Probably an overreach to think this might one day be ultimate meet-cute for L & N but here’s hoping y’all run into each other enough in the coming years that they can be good Disney friends! 😁💕

I loved following this trip report- thank you so much for taking the time to write it!

You are correct. As soon as you scan into one of your fastpass/ lightning lane/ (whatever they are calling it now) - you can immediately book your next ride. If you aren’t picky about the order you ride the rides (might need to cross cross the parks a little) you can get quite a few MK rides...

I never know what to say about the theming. Even before the Incredibles, it wasn’t my thing. I prefer Victorian or tropical over modern. But I can say that it did still feel like I was staying at an iconic monorail resort. That’s about all I remember!

We stayed in the Garden Rooms in October 2020 (or was it 2021? Whenever it was that they reopened!) and loved it. But it was ‘unprecedented times’ and the parks and resorts were pretty empty! I would stay there again. Enjoyed the walk to the main building and the food court on the middle...

I’m not saying I’m too good to stand in line. I was offering up what I think would be a great idea. A great use of technology. A few years ago, I might have stated that I thought criss crossing every park to obtain a paper fastpass was inconvenient when technology could easily be implemented...

Genuinely confused? Are you horrified by waiting in line? That post was in response to someone whose proposed solution - I felt - would not be a time savings. Or are you trying to mock me and let me know that I’m not allowed to post an opinion about something I’d like to see implemented in a...

I have tried this - I don’t find that it saves much time. I still have to wait at the window until someone pulls my ticket and puts out my cup. It’s not a huge wait (for mobile order or at the food court). I’d say I wait an average of 5-10 minutes depending on how early I arrive and depending...

You have to wait in line behind everyone buying food to get your cup (and pay). Then you can self serve your coffee

The best coffee shop would be one in which I can go in, grab a cup, self serve myself coffee (and pour in a little milk or creamer) and walk right out - with my armband or my phone or something automatically charging me for the coffee as I exit. Let everyone else stand in line for an iced mocha...
