Trip Report A Not So Splashy, Very Dashy, Somewhat Sleepy and A Little Frisky, Uplyfting Sept 2018 TR (Completed!)

Once again, it is so hard to believe that our adventure in WDW is over. I don’t understand how time goes so fast when we are there. Even though this was our longest trip ever, it still flew by.

We returned home around midnight on Saturday and I’ve been getting back to reality and catching up on reading other TR’s before beginning my own.

Just in case you may not know us…

Me: Mary/mom

Ross – Dad AKA Grumpy, but was acting more like Sleepy on this trip. (And yes – those Crocs came along with him.)

Julia – DD Sweet 16 this trip

Hope – My 9 year old princess whose diagnoses of Autism usually lends itself to some interesting tidbits for my TR’s.

Trip details:

September 6th – 8th at Art Of Animation (Room only)

September 8th – 22nd Pop Century (MYW Package Free Dining)

Yep- that’s a LONG trip – our longest EVER. Still it managed to fly by in the blink of an eye.

If you’re not familiar with my crazy crew or you need to catch up, feel free to check out my pre trip report here:

Julia was nervous because it was time for Fantasmic! And with all the commotion we, found ourselves hustling to get over there.

Luckily, we arrived in time. We headed into the theater and got settled in. No storm tonight!

We joined the masses to exit. We were all a bit hungry and no one really felt like eating at Pop, so we found a bus to DS.

We shared chicken from Chicken Guy and pizza from Blaze – it was all good.

After, we walked around DS a little bit. Hope wanted to find something to buy.

She settled on a Rubik’s Cube. I was hesitant to buy it because I didn’t know if she really understood the idea behind it. But it was her money, so she made her purchase.

We all headed for the busses. Tomorrow would be our last full day.

I really like the series of black and white pictures of you and Julia.

and your reference of where to kick Ross is

I sadly was not too impressed with the photographers this trip, but this young lady was fantastic! I love these pics so much!

Christopher Robin is currently on Netflix.

I got to watch it on Easter Sunday!!!

I would have been so p.o.'d at him if you missed you SDD fast pass... I think I just would have kept walking without him.

Yep - I considered it. lol

This has to be the best use of the acronym I've seen! I think I might have to steal this if I ever need to reference a Saucer in front of the kiddos

Julia and I use it all the time now. lol

 

[Figment Forever]

Love the pictures of you and Julia in front of ToT! Those are great!

Alien Swirling Saucer!!! That was awesome!

I think they were my favorite pics of the trip!

Are those items at Epcot snack credits?

It's funny, when Julia got the bubble tea from the regular snack stand in China, it was not a snack credit, we paid OOP. But when she got the EXACT drink from the F&W kiosk, it was a snack credit.
