Trip Report ***BOOM, DONE***No, Its not Déjà vu. It’s just that time of year again…the 20th surf ’n turf part deux. And we’re live now!

You were with us for the 16th, 17th, the epic bungalow 18th, the 19th, and the 20/40 so why not...do it again.

I went back and forth on covering this one, TR fatigue has been biting me in the butt lately. I figured, though, that with the amount of new things we are considering for this trip it may be worthwhile to give it another go. With that, lets get the formalities out of the way for the newbs:

Who: @imahistorygeek and myself

What: Surf 'n turfing a 4-night Disney Dream
When: Oct. 20 -27
Where: AKL, Dream, AKL
Why: Well, going to the bubble in the Fall for our anniversary has kinda grown on us. We will be at sea for our actual 20th!

As I alluded to we had some decisions to make for this trip like:
Drive or Fly
Palo or Remy
MNSSHP or Jiko
Get off at Nassau or Stay on the boat?
Homecomin' or Homecomin'

Watching The Muppets Movie now as I write this... can you really watch this without singing!?!? A filet of fish, hey!

Mas details to follow, like how many have signed up for the beer exchange!

What another great game last night!!!!! The only thing they need to do is start earlier!!!! A game ending around 1am doesn't make getting up at 5:30am much fun!

 

[lostpro9het]

Bring on the NL!


I was able to get my packing done! 1 day to go!!!

 

[riverside]

Hmmm this looks like staged packing, and not the real deal....

Do I?

Only drawback is the first two games are while we’re on the boat.

I will admit I was originally going to say that it looks like you have everything you need but then I remembered it was a Disney cruise you were going on and would need your suit.

Will you be able to watch the games on the ship in one of the bars.

 

[lostpro9het]

Will you be able to watch the games on the ship in one of the bars.

Will the games be on TVs in the bars?
Yes!
Will I be watching baseball games while on an anniversary cruise with my wife?
Nope!


In other news, we have 17 folks confirmed for the beer exchange! We've got folks participating from Brazil, Austrailia, Canada, and Oregon. Im pretty excited about the possibilities.

You're a very good husband. I know you're a big fan, that says a lot.

J will be very envious when I tell him. Hopefully someday he'll get in on your famous beer exchange. Can't wait to hear about the loot you get.

Thank you, ma'am! We are excited to get way for a little while and try some new things.


We're at our gate waiting to leave this rainy and chilly Peach State, please excuse my hair I just took my hat off. The airport was surprisingly not busy which was nice. We decided to walk from security to the gate and got to see some nice art and even a rain forest area straight out of Rain forest Cafe. Next stop, The Bubble!

 

[lostpro9het]

Touchdown! We had an uneventful flight with a few turbulence. Caught an 80’s classic on the way down

#foreshadow

We made quick time across the airport and had a 13 minute wait despite our first queue of the day

We got a reskinned bus and it smells new on the inside. Should be leaving shortly to AKL where our room is ready already! Plan to drop off our gear then head to DTD for some dinner before an evening with EC.

 

[lostpro9het]

And we’re home! Our room was ready and so we skipped the desk and went straight up. 3 of our 4 magic bands would not open the door, imagine that! But you know what did open it on the first try?

Spoiler: Prepare to have your mind blown

A Disney Developed App!!!

Heading to DTD now for some shopping and dinner!

 

[riverside]

A Disney App actually worked??? Be still my heart......

I know, right!

At DTD now and had to pick up some required goods for the kid. Basin is getting someinterior work done.

But they have some cool fans

Hit up the Co-Op and liked this piece

Making our way across the park for some dinner and enjoyed some lego humor because, ya know, everything is awesome

Since we haven’t eaten since waffle house this morning at 08:00 we decided to act like a couple of old retired ladies and eat dinner at 4:30

Food to come!

Off to a good start.
