Yay! I just caught up on yours.... luckily I've gotten thru all 228 emails here at work.. and I do have some work to be done, but not enough to keep me off the boards.

You’ve been gone for something like 2 weeks and you only came back to 228 emails?! That’s about a half week’s worth for me (and my job consists of a lot more than reading/replying to emails ☹️).

I'll have to admit that is a slow amount.. I was expecting 500+

Day 2 - Sunday Sept 15th

In my research before we came to movies, I was looking at possibly going off property for breakfast. I found a place called Holler & Dash, that specialized in breakfast biscuits. It had really good ratings.. apparently it's a small chain. I check to see how much a lyft would be... and it was around $10... so we figured $20 round trip plus around $25 for breakfast....was a little too steep.. (even compared to Disney prices) But then I looked to see if they were on Uber eats, and they were... it was still a little more than Disney, but it tasted a heck of a lot better than Disney breakfast at the values.... so we decided to go for it. This is where I'm a failure this trip.... I forgot to take pictures of a lot of our food.... booo hiss!

Here is a link to the menu. I got Kickback Chicken Biscuit, and Scott got the Pork Rambler + egg. It came with a side, which we both got cheesy grits because.. YUM... and I ordered a side of fried green tomatoes to try. Everything was really tasty! The only thing I didn't like was the fried green tomatoes. They had a cornmeal coating that was just ok. I ate one, and tossed the other 2. Scott doesn't like tomatoes, so he wasn't going to help me out on those.

After breakfast we decided to swim........we went to the mighty ducks pool because less children.

I thought this was a fun touch... I had to explain to hubby that there was snow because this is replicating an ice hockey rink.... boys!

After pooling and a short nap, we went to Disney Springs for the afternoon.

1st stop for our afternoon snack... my favorite place in the world... Amorette's

Scott picked out a pumpkin creme brulee, and I picked out Amorette's rose. It's a chocolate mousse with a raspberry cognac center... and while I'm not a huge fan of raspberry... this was so good!

We went nextdoor and searched WoD for whatever our hearts desired... Scott like these, but sadly it was a no go, and we left empty handed.

We did go with a mission... we went to chapel hats to find me a sunhat... I only found a visor I liked... it's pretty cool, it's made out of swimsuit material for the pool. We also went to the lego store, disney style, and the coca cola store. I was on the hunt for orange bird antenna toppers since my last two had bit the dust since our last trip... however, I have sad news my friends.. Disney no longer sells Antenna toppers. :cry::arghh:

On our stroll we found two cool things:

A newly painted Orange Bird wall

And a cool manhole cover or maybe a compass marker?

Day 2 continued.

We had both agreed upon and decided since we had a late breakfast, and skipped lunch, we would have an early dinner at Polite Pig.... I had already picked out the,

BUTCHER BOARD (FOR 2)
pork shoulder, smoked chicken, brisket & bbq cheddar sausage with slaw, house pickles, 2 cornbreads and a choice of 2 market sides

We noticed that their cornbread has gotten a lot smaller since our last visit....and the coleslaw still isn't great, but the rest was yummy.

After dinner we needed to walk around... we were both so full! So where do we walk to?

414469


We both love the create your own rice crispy treat there... and needed one for breakfast the next day!

While we were waiting... we got silly in the fun mirror

After these shenanigans, we checked out the art of disney.. and then headed back to the buses. When we got back to the room, we had some interesting towel art.

BB8 or emoji poop 💩? You be the judge!

I think it was once again nap time for Scott when we got back.... and I watched the food network... That's one thing I miss about cutting the cord... I could watch cooking shows all day if someone would let me.

Later in the evening we went out and looked around some more.

Last sleep at movies... I can't say I loved it there..... it didn't feel like home.

oh and this gem from the morning while waiting for our Lyft to POP.

Please for the love of god wear shoes on vacation.

I never understood random people wanting to be so close to you when there's plenty of space somewhere else. Wt heck with dude on the plane insisting on "getting cozy" between you guys?!

No more Disney antenna toppers? Nooooo!!! Frank is going to be very disappointed about that.

"Towel Art" looks like emoji poop to me. 🤭
