Trip Report **COMPLETED** The Tale of Two Trips (finally moving on from the PTR)

Hello everyone!!! I'm sorry for the long delay, but I am finally starting my TR I apologize in advance for the insane amount of pictures I got a new camera and took over 3000 pictures and videos! If you did not read my PTR I went on two trips in the span of a few weeks...hence the title I will split them in two but keep it all in the same thread. Also, I have a lot of last minute residency requirements to navigate through the next few weeks or so so I'm sorry if this takes me forever! Anyway, enough of me rambling - let's begin!

First trip!
Who?
From left to right: Me (Megan), my Mom (Mary), and my sister (Jill)

When?
March 11, 2017 - March 18, 2017

Where?
First time staying an entire trip here...the Polynesian!

Why?
I had to take an exam in Kissimmee on the 14th and I got the whole week off from work to go My Mom and sister came along for the ride.

Good thing she didn't have the seat mate I had once...he sat down and said...''Have u ever seen Final Destination 3?'' Sooo funny!! But I had to dash his hopes and say that I use that line on my daughter allllllll the time LOL!

Thats really funny! My Mom has never seen or probably heard of Final Destination so she would have been oblivious

Ate here last September, Art Smith was walking around and stopped to chat with every table (he even cleared a few tables), it was cool... and yes, the chicken was delicious...

Ah thats so cool!!!!

 

[Ms.Sunshine]

Really been enjoying your trip report (and food pics!)
I wish my daughter liked fireworks, I LOVE Wishes!

I was hoping to see Art Smith when we were there in October but no such luck. I've been a fan of his ever since he was a contestant on Top Chef Masters

I love the drink list idea! Definitely something that I want to try in the future, especially to force myself to visit different places (like you mentioned)! So fun.

Touring Plans makes so many lists that you can easily make into challenges They can all be so much fun!

Day 7
We got up around 7 am and I think we fell back asleep . Eventually we got up and ran to Capt. Cooks for breakfast then got ready to head out for the day.
We had our St. Patrick's Day envelope ready for Mousekeeping

We headed to the MK around 8:30 and I realized on the monorail it opened at 7 am...whoops

Luckily it was not very crowded when we got there!

Our first stop was Buzz!

Jill got the red card!

Next up: MK continued

 

[Doc Disney]

Day 7 continued
Why was I giving the thumbs up in my picture you may ask?

Thats right, Galactic Hero!!! WOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!

I was hoping for a pin, but all I got was this sticker
Yes, yes I know that I could have just gotten my own pin but I never did

Next up was Peter Pan!

We all enjoyed our ride then headed over to IASW

Next up: more MK

 

[Doc Disney]

Day 7 continued

Apparently I did not exist

It was all of a sudden very crowded so we needed a place to land while we waited for our next FP

There was a little kid next to me that was SO mad that him Mom made him sit in the back Once the show started he could not believe that he was able to see everything It was so cute!
Of course we had to stop at the Tangled restrooms on the way to our next FP

Where were we headed?

Haunted Mansion!

Next up: HM!

 

[Doc Disney]

Day 7 continued

I was supposed to ride this one by myself, but then my Mom accidentally got on with me. Fine, but then Jill ALSO accidentally got on
Accidental squish!

Next up was something Jill had never done before...

Thats right, she has never done the Country Bears

I just love these guys on the wall

Jill really enjoyed the show
Next up was our last FP for the morning..

Next up: more MK

 

[Doc Disney]

Day 7 continued

Jill got shot with water on POTC For some reason her and my Mom never had that happen to them before. I usually get hit with water every time

It was time for lunch and I had an idea in mind so we headed over there

Where were we heading? Friar's Nook We had some serious cravings for Mac and Cheese

I don't know why, but this potato made me laugh

We waited forever for our food. Like over 30 minutes when there was only a few people in front of us. They sell like 2 things, how is it so slow?!
We all got the plain Mac and Cheese

This was super good! We will definitely be back!
After lunch it was getting a bit too crowded for us so we headed out

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the MK

On the way out I got to meet the mayor

Yay!

Next up: will we finally go down the slide?

 

[LadyBelle]

Oh, you just had to post the mac and cheese from The Friar's Nook. That is making me hungry! Their Pot Roast Mac & Cheese was super yummy.

 

[DisneyJeff]

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the MK

I love the St. Patrick's Day shirts!!!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I just love that all three of you wore the Mickey Mouse ear hats. It is so cute!

 

[LisaBelle]

All caught up! Loved the pictures of V & A. Not sure I'll ever get there, so it was fun to see. Chef Art Smith's Homecoming is definitely on my list after seeing your photos. I love fried chicken and it looks so good! I must be hungry! The mac and cheese looks great, too. Your trip has been full of firsts, with the amphicar, La Nouba and your drink challenge. Glad you were able to complete your drink challenge. Another thing to obsess over when I plan my next trip

We got up around 7 am and I think we fell back asleep . Eventually we got up and ran to Capt. Cooks for breakfast then got ready to head out for the day.
We had our St. Patrick's Day envelope ready for Mousekeeping

What a nice gesture to have that envelope decorated in a St. Patrick's Day theme for the housekeeper. I love how you arranged the stuffed animals along with it, too!

 

[Doc Disney]

Oh, you just had to post the mac and cheese from The Friar's Nook. That is making me hungry! Their Pot Roast Mac & Cheese was super yummy.

Sorry That mac and cheese was so good! We were just missing some hot sauce ! I was going to get the Pot Roast kind but for some reason at that point in time meat did not appeal to me

I love the St. Patrick's Day shirts!!!

Thanks!!!

 

[Doc Disney]

I just love that all three of you wore the Mickey Mouse ear hats. It is so cute!

Thank you! They got annoying after awhile though with the chin strap
