Trip Report OH NO!!! I’m out of BASIN Body Butter

So what is a lady to do when she realizes she just ran out of Basin Body Butter. Not realizing that the last one opened was the LAST ONE.

Basin ships but it is pricey. Next best thing is to go to WDW to remedy the shortage-4 sleeps and HELLO BASIN and HELLO BODY BUTTER. Who needs more than 4 days to book and plan right?

Sounds like a good a reason as any to go to WDW!!

Laundry and a few new shirts. Problem is the weather. Spring by day and Winter in the morning and evening.
Solution. 2 suitcases each for my DD and me.

Ya in there Donald?

No dining plan this time but set for food and beverages. We only purchase the dining plan for our two week trips.

Only two table services booked so far

Compass and a new one for us at the new

I used to stock up on Basin items too but now my Hy-Vee has a basin store inside it so I can go there now. Now we stock up on items from the Salt and tea exchange and always joke about needing to head to Florida when we start running low on supplies.

It is late but we made it!!!

Rooms are Newly remodeled. So clean. ❤

This is a perfectly valid excuse for a Disney trip in my books!!

1. Why would you buy 12 $25 gift cards when $100 gift cards exist?
2. The thread title reminds me of my mustard. I stock up on the Bavarian mustard they sell in the Germany pavilion at Epcot.

Because it is best value. Free money. I buy my gift cards at Sam’s Club. They are discounted there and at Target. But if you take a moment and do the Math the $75 gift card packet gives you the most dollars free. Also why the $75 cards are sometimes sold out. We consolidate all the gift cards onto two on my notebook on the Disney sight. If you loose one you can immediately shift funds to another.

In November I threw away my card that got buried on my food tray and I tossed it with the garbage and realized as I got on the boat to the Wilderness Lodge and it had $90 on it. I called my DD at home and by the time I arrived back at the Wilderness Lodge she had transferred the money to the other card. If you don’t do that at least take a photo of the back of your gift card. Guest Services can do that too!!!

And when I check luggage I too buy Germany’ Brat and pretzel mustard.

Live not having to cook breakfast. Poly has one of the best QS breakfasts around, good variety and better quality food products.

Bounty Platter

Tonga Toast very fresh today.

Disney Generic coffee cups

But better cream. Real milk and 1/2 & 1/2

Can you imagine the plastic not used in synthetic fake creamers?

 

[Gabe1]

There is nobody at the MK today. A level 3 crowd level and alikely only that for some dance competition teams.

Standby was quicker for Jungle Cruise. A walk on. FP queue about 15 minutes

Walkway by Small World

Columbia Harbor

No wait toll booth

 

[Gabe1]

Generic coffee cups sealed in styrofoam in MK too.

Only one side of the 2D Chalk Art was open today.

Note the scansion belt in this one. This is what happens when you’re pushed by a guest while taking a photo.
