    The 8th is our real anniversary - 18 years. We often do two short trips. In this case, we leave on the 3rd, and haven’t planned the 8th yet. We may do Key Largo, just stay home and go to dinner, or who knows?! 🏰

    What we’ll do better: aka: Putting all of this together to learn for our August/September birthday trip: If there are 40% off dinners, use them if they fit into our regular plan. Stick to our usual routine of one park in the morning, take a break, a different park at night. In so doing, try...

    What went wrong: The magic is gone. That card thingy is upside down. That’s it! That’s the only thing Disney did wrong. I should make a post about it. But seriously, other than a couple of items out of a couple of meals that were slightly off, everything was great. What we did wrong: I...

    What went right: Obviously, that room upgrade was tremendous. We emphasized our secondary anniversary more than we typically do. That was actually nice. Maybe in 3 years we’ll go back to Disneyland to commemorate 20 years since getting our paper marriage in California (which we followed up...

    One more chair massage! Just a short one this time, no pics. I got into the elevator, intending to go to bag check. For the first time, I read the sign in the elevator. What I didn’t bother to mention the other night, because I thought it was boring and didn’t ultimately lead to anything...

    By now, this joint is jumping. I ordered the same lamb dish I ordered last time, which had me over the moon last time. Didn’t even look at the menu. For the life of me, I cannot explain why, but it didn’t hit the same this time. It was fine. It looked the same. I don’t know. All good. I...

    That’s probably correct, but again, feels risky! That bar fills up quickly and stays full. If I have some kind of reservation, it’s going to be harder to turn me away. Maybe not. But that’s why I keep booking 5 PM, to be first. I don’t like maybe lol.

    I hear the guy next to me say, cautiously, “You know what, I’m gonna do it.” And he said something to Ray. I asked him, “Did you just order a $300 pour?” He said yes. I said God bless him, and fist bumped. I said I enjoy bourbon, but the highest I go is Blanton’s, but they never have it. Then...

    I always seem to have some kind of issue with the California Grill reservation. There is nowhere to select that you’d like to sit at the bar. Yet, cast members often seemed to reference that. Every trip, somebody says something about me selecting a table instead of the bar. I didn’t understand...

    You get me! 👏🏻💕 Note: Tiffins has several rooms, each with different (but all fascinating) decor. We talked about the rideshare issue before Brian went home. I’ll talk about what went right and wrong in my end summary. Thank you for all the nice comments!

    Again, in a hurry, Rideshare to HS. I love my sunshine ! I entered Tune-In triumphantly, had one drink, and it rained enough that the night crew were late, and Julie hung out until 4. 💕 My Cali Grill res was at 5:05. Time for the refreshed Little Mermaid? I went over to the line and was...

    Tiffins! My server was Brian, the same Brian who served Brian and me on Monday. 👍🏻 I started with the appetizer we almost ordered that night, but didn’t: dumpling with ahi tuna. Absolutely delicious. 👍🏻👍🏻 For the main, I was undecided. Other Brian said the pork duo was his favorite thing...

    With a little time before lunch, a little otter entertainment! This little guy was very vocal, and started rolling around on his back. Hungry? I don’t know, he wouldn’t answer me.

    I had 40% off lunch coming up at 1:20 at Tiffins, but I had a shrimp app snack …and enjoyed the sunshine. Look, my old home! 🤣 I took a Rideshare to AK since it was so far. It drizzled on the way, stopped before we arrived.

    After leaving my bags with bell services, I walked out back. The pool has a decent water slide. Another time. I got on the monorail. Somewhat spur of the moment, I disembarked at the Poly. Oh, Wailulu, I love you! Banana old fashioned, baby!

    Whatever you do, have a great time! I’ll be at CG from 5-7-ish, then wandering the Contemporary until I get my ride to the airport around 8pm.

    I was still wet. My shirt was wet. My shorts were wet. Everything was wet. There was no time for a shower, but I washed up, got changed, finished packing, and got out right on time. Tha hotness is real. Bye, room! 👋🏻 Now what?

    It was worse than it looked. Hard to take a full body selfie! I really wanted to ride it again right then, but it was 10am. I hadn’t heard anything, and didn’t want to push it, so I headed back - knowing I still had to pack and get out by 11. No boat. I quickly got back to the hotel, but...
