Trip Report 2017 WDW Holiday Trip

Hello Friends!

We are less than a day away from our trip to WDW. It's been several months since our last trip there. In fact, it was a rather short trip last April where we still managed to do our first Wild Africa Trek.

This time, it will be a longer trip, slightly more than a week. Of course, we will be doing MVMCP, a dinner at Boma, and also the DVC Moonlight Magic at Epcot. This will also be our first trip there since Pandora opened, and we have fastpasses for the two attractions there. So this will be a fun but busy trip.

As usual, I'll try to report live from where we will be and what we will be doing. And Donald is all set and ready to go. He's in his festive, holiday outfit already.

We have a very early morning flight out tomorrow, so we will be turning in rather early tonight. I just know that I won't be able to sleep much tonight!

The beef is excellent, the chicken is dry.

I want to try the bao next time I’m here.

I had the beef also. I really enjoyed it. Based on what you said I'll be sure to stay away from the chicken!!

What did you think of it? I tried it a few weeks ago for the first time & thought it was one of the best quick service meals I've ever had!!

Agreed! Satu'li Canteen and Sunshine Seasons are my top 2

Those lights are.....um...unique? Are they as low as they look? Do they get in the way?

They are higher than they appear. They are out of reach of the guests.

Good morning! (Is it still morning?)

We are having a lazy day today with nothing planned for the morning. I'm still having this cold, so our activity for this trip has been curtailed a bit.

We plan on doing Epcot this evening and view Illuminations. But other than that, we have no other plans. This is our last full day here at WDW. We fly home tomorrow evening. It has been a wonderful trip, and I have lots more to write and pictures to post after I get back.

Heading to DS for lunch

 

[ZapperZ]

Just placed our mobile order at d-luxe burger at DS. Wonder if all these people standing in the long lines know that they can order here using the app.

And here’s our lunch! Delicious!

Riddle me this. I thought it was an optical illusion, is one of the roof here tilted? My guess is the roof for poutine is slanted.

 

[ZapperZ]

We are at Epcot! It is very busy

 

[ZapperZ]

About to go see the Disney/Pixar shorts. I hope olaf short is not in this one

 

[ZapperZ]

Off to see figment

Those look great! Were they as good as they look? Do you know if the ordering works with the dining plan yet? Last I heard, you couldn't order on the app if you had the dining plan.

I don’t believe you can use the dining plan, but this is based on what I can see when I use the feature. I don’t see an option for it.
