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.

We just left EPCOT since the grandkids wanted to swim. I was on the lookout for you both. We head to MK tomorrow. Hopefully our paths will cross. Or maybe DS tonight?
We may park hop to MK tomorrow. Plans tonite don’t include DS. Can’t believe we missed you at Epcot for the second year in a row. :facepalm:

Are those hula hoops around the outside? Clever!
Yes!

“Let’s go in the butterfly house,” Em says.

The food court at POFQ does not open until 7am each day. When Early Entry at the theme parks ranges from 7-8:30 am (meaning guests are on board buses as early as 6 am) how are they supposed to eat breakfast?

Sorry, I’m hangry. Maybe Sunshine Seasons has breakfast items.

Spoiler alert ~ it doesn’t.

This will have to suffice. One for me, and one for Em.

Em knows.

“Part computer, part fish,” the teacher says with confidence.

We are on the boat so early that a few CMs are still working to ready the greenhouses for guests.

I love seeing the gardeners working in the Land. It is like seeing something we shouldn't be, like a secret backstage tour.
