Thank you!

Case closed. Next topic: Can’t see the “show” unless you are seated on the bar side. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Time for some glam country. And a magic carpet ride. Whoa! And - right back where we started from, Maxine Nightingale. Yo ho, yo ho!

Awesome rides are always more awesome with short waits. Peter Pan was looking too long. We kept walking. Now, this was supposed to be a 20 minute wait, but… Bubbles! It was nearly 40 minutes. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Here I am blowing out the candles on my birthday cake. And “Drain the swamp?”

Now…did we miss our opportunity for a 5 minute wait for Tiana? Brian hasn’t seen the refurb yet. No big tour group of kiddos. ✅ Beautiful morning. ✅ Live music. ✅✅ 15 minute wait? I’ll take it! We did not get the front row, no matter how much certain people around here may or...

There are two sides to this bar, with a pass-through. One side contains the actual bar and some tables. The other side is just tables. “Hello from the other siiiiide…” The drinks were premixed, pretty good, and pretty sweet. Brian attempted a simple Jack and Diet for his second round...

What’s with these wait times?! Wow! But we had no time. We had to get to B&B. I hoped everything wouldn’t be an hour wait afterwards. And here we go!

Brian had no idea, until I woke him up in the morning, telling him to get in the shower bc we needed to get out the door! “Early” for us: A little after 9:30am. Yes, B has lost weight. 👏🏻 Here comes the boat! And here comes Magic Kingdom.

The atrium from the 2nd floor. Why am I fascinated with this? And then, around 2:00 in the morning, finally!! Why was I awake at 2am? Never mind. 🤐 Mouse Dining sent me no fewer than 15 notifications for Beak & Barrel (often while I was using my phone.) This was the only one I was able...

Actually, those curtains in the first picture are hideous! 🤣 🌲 🌲

The gym, called Sturdy Branches, has an entrance from the atrium, as well as one from outdoors. Even the elevators are themed. Hmm…maybe a little tacky? After a brief workout alone, B and I went to the main building to meet our tour guide. We were kept waiting for quite some time...

When we returned to the pool, it was cloudy and drizzly again. Oh, well. Woodsiness: Being in Boulder Ridge was set apart from the main building, but still close enough to not be inconvenient. I appreciated having our own quiet atrium. Plenty of seating, theming, a fireplace. 👏🏻

“Monday, Monday…so good to me…” It’s now Labor Day, and we’re still blocked out of the parks. 🫤 This light fixture above the bed reminded me of Skee-ball. 😆 Before our trip, I received a phone call from DVC. They noticed we were coming, and staying at Boulder Ridge, and offered to give us a...

Or…Chicken Little. 😉😉😉

It’s not at all unreasonable to be miffed at the situation. I would just caution you in the sense that, “you don’t know what you don’t know.“ @plutofan15 raises some interesting points about what may or may not be legit behind the scenes reasons. There are all kinds of oddball things that...

Thank you. Naturally, I’m aware that other people will have different viewpoints. However: I would point out, likewise: someone who stresses the minutiae of theming, or the feelings of animals we eat, or the ramifications of a bar selling alcohol is not superior to someone who enjoys a theme...

@LittleBuford had I known, I would have ordered one for you on Tuesday. I’m sure it would’ve been nice to meet you. I know that’s not your point. On a similar note, my husband is type one diabetic. All those mixed drinks are sweet. Although Jack Daniels is one of the ingredients listed in...

And Jaws was the number two movie of the weekend. Wild. I saw it yesterday in 3-D. The 3-D was mildly successful, sometimes distracting. Still, it was good to see the film in theaters for the first time since I originally saw it as a kid. Despite many, many viewings over the years, it never...

Back inside, there was no rush to leave. They brought coffee for Brian. They brought ketchup for my second and third slider. 😆 (and they didn’t yell about it like they do at WL 🤣) I sampled several desserts, all fantastic. We did not go for a third round at the bar (!!!) I did not want Rose and...

Many of you are probably familiar with viewing the fireworks from outside the California Grill. This is not that. We attending this event have a private area, separate from the riffraff merely spending $200 pp on a prix fixe menu. 😉 No shortage of pics here. I’ll self-edit as I go.
