Trip Report C’mon Everybody, Here We Go….*COMPLETED*

Think of all the joy you’ll find
When you leave the world behind
And bid your cares goodbye!



Ahh, a relaxing getaway from reality. No cares or concerns. Just bliss.

Not exactly a perfect picture of vacationing at Walt Disney World during Spring Break, is it?

But we’re going anyway. We’re Spring Break Veterans and it’s time for the annual reunion.

Two years ago we missed out on our usual adventure thanks to Covid. The stay-at-home vacation just wasn’t the same! (Although you can read about it here: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/the-“no-trip”-trip-report-completed.964173/)

Last year we were able to return, albeit under Covid protocols. We believed that enduring masks 24/7, plexiglass and vinyl dividers on attractions, mobile order Door Nazis and limited shopping/dining/entertainment would be acceptable in exchange for the very low crowds that we’d experienced on earlier pandemic trips. But the parks were packed and we ended up spending a lot of time at the pool (which wasn’t a bad thing. We’re pool people.)

Now that park capacity has increased and nearly all Covid restrictions are gone, we expect to find the shoulder-to-shoulder spring break crowds of yore. And long lines. So we’re packing our patience and “It is what it is” attitudes.

Because in spite of all the negatives WDW is still our happy place.

We can’t wait.

Who: Tuvalu and Em
When: April 3-9, 2022
Where: Our favorite moderate resort

My plan is to go live upon our departure. Fingers crossed that Disney WiFi will be my friend.

Speaking of friends, we hope to meet up with a few. You’ll have to follow along to see if we do.

Em and I are pretty tired after our travel day.

Seems wise to have dinner at Sassagoula Floatworks tonight.

Chicken club for Em.

Turkey dinner for the 🦃 junkie.

This was surprisingly good! And for less than half the cost of Liberty Tree Tavern. But no Ooey Gooey Cake either. ☹️

However this CM is giving away beignet samples….

….so we have dessert!

A few days ago my mom had asked me if I had seen the 50th anniversary Coke bottles. I had not until now.

It’s plastic wrap over a plastic bottle. Probably will get one for her anyway, even though she doesn’t drink Coke.

We are settled in for the night.

After watching the fireworks, of course.

Fireworks you say?

Not just any old fireworks, my friends. The BEST fireworks show ever made.

Happily Ever After!!

From the comfort of our beds.

*RANT RE: Disney IT*

French Quarter has still not been added to the Early Entry system. The CM scanned my band and we were denied. He asked me to pull up my resort reservation on my phone…which took awhile thanks to slow WiFi….and then he let us in.

We had the same issue on our trip in December.

Inexcusable.

*End Rant*

That’s annoying. That would really suck.

Captured.

An officer yelled at me for taking the next picture and not “moving along!”

“No wonder you got captured!” he bellowed.

Worth it for this shot!

Aboard our transport vehicle!

Probe droid not working. No cannons moved. (Only the first one has been operational and that wasn’t working either.) Kylo AA hidden behind the wing. B mode on the forward screen ~ which Em completely missed because she expected “Kylo in B mode” to be projected on the wing.

Going to MMRR next.

We scan the area to discern where folks are getting on line. Can’t see a line.

“Ride must be down,” Em says.

We notice a CM under the stand-by entrance.

“We couldn’t find the entrance cuz the entrance is actually THE ENTRANCE!” Em quips.

A quick walk to here.

The Mickey and Minnie AAs in the volcano room are also MIA.

Bad show Disney ~ first Rise, now MMRR. 😡

I’d be upset if we’d paid extra to ride either.

FIX WHAT’S BROKEN!!

At least we can still dance with Daisy….
