Trip Report A Jingle BAM Birthday! *COMPLETED*

*Sorry for the bump. This TR is from December 2016*

Let me begin by giving a shout out to all park commandos ~ those who arrive at the parks at opening and stay until closing ~ those who only use the hotel room to sleep and shower ~

We SALUTE you!!!!!

After a whirlwind 48 hours in the world, we have a new appreciation for the stamina of a park commando. We gave it our all and had a blast ~ though a third non-stop day would have likely killed us!

So do your warm-up stretches and prepare to join us on a quick jog through three parks as we celebrate the quarter-century of a wonderful gal named Em.

Cast: Tuvalu and TrolleyFollower91
Date: December 1-3, 2016
Resort: Coronado Springs

Lots of stuff to celebrate lately huh? Congratulations on all your big news! I'm very jealous of Em getting to be in Disney on her bday. Unfortunately, my parents just had to have me right around the beginning of the school year, so as long as I stay in the teaching/child care field, a bday in Disney is just not doable. Can't wait to read the rest of this TR and your next. I want to hear the drama! lol

Thanks for following, @DimpledDevil18 :). Maybe you can be "sick" when your bday bookends a weekend so you can celebrate it at WDW. ;)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! More great news for your family--I didn't think anything could top the arrival of Tuvalette, but now Drumr is engaged!!!!!!!!!!

So happy for ALL of you!!! :happy: :happy:
Thanks for your kind words, @MinnieM123. 2016 has been a banner year for sure and 2017 will have a wedding! :inlove: (And probably fewer WDW excursions...but that's ok!)

LIVE FROM MY FAMILY ROOM.......THE TRIP REPORT RESUMES :D

Friday, December 2 ~ The Big Birthday (con't)

After resurfacing from our undersea journey, it was time to cruise into the Jingle....er, jungle.

Not exactly Rudolph's shiny nose, but it'll do.

We waved goodbye to the strangled snowman....

....and settled down for a long slew of Skipper jokes.

"I'll be your secret Santa. Whoops, I wasn't supposed to tell you that......SURPRISE!"
"Listen to the humbugs, BAH BAH BAH!"
"We're changing rivers now, folks. Let's see how far this boat Con go!"
"I'm getting an old tree for Christmas. Look, it is all wrapped up with a Boa on top!"
"That's a setta! That's a setta! That's a setta! Did you see me point?"
"There's my friend Eena. Hi, Eena!
"All the baby elephant wants for Christmas is his two trunk teeth!"

(And those are just the ones I remember!)

The appearance of Trader Sam-ta signaled the end was near.

While MK had been fairly busy today (honestly, when is MK not crowded anymore?) an increase in number of guests became apparent in Tomorrowland. Many were ponytailed cheerleaders in uniform. Had they already competed? Were they killing time until their competition? How come we didn't see any uniformed Pop Warner players? :rolleyes:

Most importantly, why are they clogging the line of our fave MPB 2.0??!!!!

The wait was worth it ~ we scored first-car seats.

Our first look at the luxurious new cabanas next to Space Mountain. Don't they just scream opulence?
