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.

Was hoping for a monorail photobomb.

Oh well, the pink flowers are lovely!

Since we are not interested in riding Ratatouille or Frozen Ever After, we aren’t stuck in the middle of the Early Entry masses headed to those attractions.

Rather we have a quiet walk here.

Board the first flight 5505 of the day. Top row, center.

Try not to cry.

My daddy visited many of the places featured in the film. He climbed to the top of the Sydney Harbor bridge.

I miss him dearly.

It’s a lizard!!
I bet the lizards love Flower and Garden fest because they have so many new places to explore! o_O

I am shocked the Land pavilion wasn't packed first thing in the morning! But sending you good vibes, I am glad your dad got to have so many amazing experiences! My mom also did the Bridge climb in Sydney Harbor. 💛💜

Agree that it's a great time to go to Soarin if you don't need to do the other rides! We were thrilled at the no lines there in the early AM since so many others focus on Ratatouille or Frozen. I have sweet memories of my Dad when we ride Soarin too but for other reasons. We can share stories at our upcoming dinner in May!

Em and I are waiting to go through the security scanner at DHS when she thinks she recognizes a Magician.

After many years and trip overlaps, we finally get to say Hey to @wdisney9000 and C Minor!

This momentous moment must be captured by a PPP.

The PPP tells us to hug. He does not realize that a big sister and pesky little brother normally do NOT hug. Actually, @wdisney9000 wants me to strangle him, but the PPP won’t take that picture for fear of losing his job.

(C Minor, on the other hand, is willing to take said picture with a cellphone.)

Now I have to tell Woody it was all in good fun….

….which Em agrees to partake in as well.

Unlike yesterday, we experience 2 attractions during Early Entry and are in line for a third before official opening.

If you can call this a line…..

When we began our time travel ascent I noticed that the camera screen used to take your picture “to send into the future” was completely dark. No flashing blue light. No nothing.

“Guess we’re gonna end up as cartoon people,” I said to Em.

Boy was I wrong! :hilarious:
