Trip Report Breaker Breaker 1-9, We're goin' live!
- Thread starter wdisney9000
- Start date
Sincerest apologies for this completely stalled "live" report. We've been so busy and I haven't had much time to sit down and update. It's just a pain to do it on a cell phone (IMO) so I will be cranking it out when we return.
C and I have been having so much fun just finally being together and we have taken lots of pictures and notes, so don't fret, the TR will be continued!

No apologies needed. Live TRs are really hard. Just keep on having fun!

What a wonderful TR - your DHS stories literally put tears in my eyes. Can’t wait to see the rest!
Looks like an amazing trip so far with lots of pixie dust spread around you all!!! Glad you're having so much together.

You two have had a difficult time recently, so spending it together is just what you needed.
We'll be here when you're done.
I love Disney.
Please remain seated. This trip report will begin moving immediately.
We arrived back home yesterday. We had lots to do in regards to picking up Akira, Wyn and Newt (our 3 dogs) and getting unpacked, cleaning, blah, blah, blah. Do we have the Disney blues after spending an amazing 7 days in the bubble? Nope! Why? Well....
We have another trip booked for December, so, no Disney blues! I'll be starting a PTR for that but not util I finish this TR.
Lets get right to it!
Day 3...
After an absolutely mind blowing night at HS and Galxys Edge wegot a good nights sleep and took the morning slow. C's aunt and her boyfriend were driving up to meet us for lunch at the Springs. I had some coffee on the balcony while everyone was getting ready.
We made our way to the Springs around 11:30. We drove there because Zack, (C's cousin) noticed his truck was leaking oil and he made an appointment at a nearby shop to have it checked out and serviced while we had lunch. We followed Zack to the shop and then they hopped in with us to head to the Springs. Since we had gotten our Tables in Wonderland card, we had free valet which was nice.
We did some shopping for R's birthday (all star Star Wars stuff). He was absolutely infatuated with Rey after the night before. He got a few sets of action figures and a Darth Vader suit for Halloween. After shopping, we headed over to lunch reservation at...
C and I had been craving this food for several months. We ordered pretty quickly, lol. I went with the fried chicken sandwich.
It was amazing! C ordered the sampler platter and even added an extra dish of collards as well.
Cuban sandwich for Paul, her aunts boyfriend. A friend of his who had been to Art Smiths told him it was good so went with that, and some mac and cheese on the side.
He loved and said he would definitely ordered it again.
Her aunt with the cheeseburger and also loved it.
We had a great time and our server, Stella was awesome. I asked her how many people do the Marlon Brando, "Stella!" routine. She said quite a few but what annoyed her more was that people reference it from Modern Family (the tv show) and if she tells them that it was Streetcar Named Desire, they give her a weird look. She gave me permission to belt out a Stella since I knew the proper reference. I politely declined, lol.
Lunch was great and Stella brought out a doughnut/cake treat with a candle for R. I didnt get a picture of it.
After lunch I took Zack to get his truck because he and R had to head home since he had to work the next day. C and the rest of the gang stayed to do some shopping. I dropped of Zack and R and met back up with them. C, her mom, and her aunt began to collect the Disney Parks exclusive Pandora charms last year. I met them at the Pandora shop when I returned. C was shopping for her bracelet and her moms. She was definitely excited to be shopping for two bracelets. Pandora charms will be a very heavy hitter for the remainder of this trip. Be prepared!
We shopped around and settled down at the Polite Pig for a round of drinks and a light snack.
We must have sat there for over an hour just chatting and having fun. You can see C's Pandora bracelet in the picture. Please note that there were about 3 charms on it by then. Boy will that change quickly.
We headed over to Ghirardeli (spelling*) for ice cream and watched the sunset. Shortly after we all headed out and said our goodbyes. It was a great day. By the time C and I got back to The Boardwalk it was about 8 pm and we decided to hang out at the room and get a good nights sleep. We watched Jaws as we fell asleep.
It was our first day in a very long time that we had a Disney day without going to a park. It was quite relaxing and spending the day at Disney Springs has definitely grown on me.

Pot, meet kettle
Sure I may take six months to complete a 4-day trip but I eventually begrudgingly finish that TR.

Day 4
It was Animal Kingdom to start off the day! We got there shortly after opening and crowd levels werent too bad. I had to stop in Guest Relations because my MDE wouldnt allow me to see "My Plans". The CM explained its a known issue and they dont have a fix yet and I would have to view My Plans by logging into the Disney Website directly. I had to do this for the rest of the trip. It was only frustrating because it kept logging me out, so anytime I had to modify a FP+ I had to go through the process.
After Guest Relations we headed straight to Everest!
After Everest we hit up Dinosaur. But first we realized that it was 10:45 and we needed a round of drinks for the walk!
C loves the Nest White Ale and I got an Elephants Foot IPA. (shut up, Sean!)
Of course I havent received our photopass from Dinosaur yet. Is there a way to get the pics it never sends you?
After Dino, we made our way to Pandora. On the way, C stopped in the Pandora shop. She needed a fix!
She graduated to purchasing multiple charms at once. I believe she got 3 this round.
All that shopping made her hungry so we grabbed a Pretzel and more beers to wash it down. I needed a drink after looking at the Pandora receipt, lol! We both had the Organic blonde ale, 22oz. C reminded me Im #1 , yay!

Akira goes nuts whenever she sees her momma (C). Wyn and Newt (the boys) get excited for me. It cracks us up. But overall, C gets waaaay more love than me. Probly because I'm the trainer and much more firm with them. She lets them get away with nonsense that I wouldn't allow, lol. Akira stays with my parents and she adores them, but she goes crazy when momma comes homeHow are the dogs? They must have missed the both of you!!
