Trip Report **COMPLETED** The trip that almost didn't happen (thanks to Baltimore)

Hey everyone!
We got back about a week ago now from a short trip. I debated about even writing a TR but I have a bunch of photos so why not?

Who?
The usual...my Mom (Mary) and I (Megan)

Where?
The Boardwalk :)
I stole this photo off the internet - for some reason I did not take any daylight photos of the Boardwalk

When?
November 15-18, 2018

Why?
No reason other than we wanted to attend a Christmas Party and I was able to shuffle a few hours around so I could miss a Friday of work (since I only work 4 hours on Fridays anyway)

Day 1 November 15, 2018
I had to work my usual Thursday and thankfully got out on time so I could get to my parent's house and get ready to head to the airport.

I was a little stressed out because there was a storm approaching Buffalo and it was supposed to hit right at the time our flight took off. Before we left for the airport it was already delayed 15 minutes but that did not seem too bad so we headed to the airport and of course got there in no time. The Southwest counter was actually quite crowded but we still breezed through security.
We stopped to get something to eat at the Anchor Bar

We split our usual appetizer platter of wings, boneless wings, and regular wings with a side of fries (because apparently the rest of it was not fatty enough...)

Our food was fine but I was starting to get so stressed out because nearly everyone around us had their flights canceled or super delayed. It was a bit odd because it wasn't super bad in Buffalo but it must have been bad everywhere else.
We went and sat at our gate and our flight was delayed by 30 minutes at this point so we decided to get a sugary snack to kill some time.
We actually thought this snack was turtle chocolates and it was popcorn :joyfull:

Worst PP picture ever - I swear there is always too much sun in this area that they never look good

I don't know why I never noticed that Splash Mountain comes all the way down here o_O

We headed towards Main St so we could do some shopping :)

Our last FP was to meet Mickey so we could wish him a happy early Birthday
We signed his Birthday card first :) (this was actually our second time signing it if I'm being honest)

The Mickey Santa sugar cookie did have a very odd taste. :depressed: I will share in my TR what Woody said it tasted like. :joyfull:

I think last year began the 6 pm close for MVMCP. This year both MNSSHP and MVMCP had 6 pm closures for day guests.

. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized it was made with POG juice :)

Oh my goodness a mimosa with POG juice is the best idea ever 😍

She said they were really good! We both enjoyed our meals and we would probably come back to the Plaza again but maybe try lunch or dinner instead.

Your mom is definitely the Mickey waffle expert, so I would trust her opinion on this :joyfull:

I’m always so surprised when I see pictures of this bit of the ride!

So clever! And 11/22/1995 was the day Toy Story was released! They think of everything.
Oh! I also finally got to meet Guy Behind the Magic (from instagram)! He was SO nice! He asked us where we were from and said he had some friends up in Buffalo :) We told him we were on a short trip but coming back for NYE and he looked at us like we were nuts :joyfull: He made sure we knew it was going to be crazy :hilarious:
I saw his post on instagram and was so thrown when it was with someone I recognized!
After our lunch we stopped to get some PP pictures before heading out.

This magic shot with Sven is adorable!

I'm finally caught up on your report! However, I think I'm not caught up on your Disneyland one... I have so many to go back to! Loving this report so far!

I know ! POG juice is so good!!!!!! It was the best mimosa I ever had!
I think she would probably say that she likes the Mickey waffles at 1900 Park Fare better because she thinks they are the best !

After Mickey we decided to get a quick lunch at Friar's Nook
When we heard that the Mac and cheese was back we had to go try it again :hilarious:
IMG_0173.JPG

Next time we would probably ask for just the plain Mac and cheese because the bacon was a bit much and we took most of it off :) All in all though we were happy to have Mac and cheese back on the menu :)
After our lunch we headed towards Main Street Bakery to grab a treat
Sugar cookie for my Mom and gingerbread cookie for me :) Finally got my gingerbread cookie!

They were delicious!
I was missing a work meeting this weekend and one of my co-workers texted me to say I was missing a "great meeting" (jokingly)...so I sent him this picture :)
IMG_0171.JPG

After this we said goodbye and headed out of the Magic Kingdom.
It was finally pretty warm out so we headed to the pool to soak in all the sun we could get
Creepy clown pool!!

We played some foosball when we got there. My Mom, who has never played foosball ever before, was kicking my butt.
It was like 4-0 at some point :)

I wish I could have just sat there forever it was so nice in the sun.

Christmas cup!

My Mom got a drink for us to share called Tilt-a-Whirl (Absolut Citron Vodka, Chambord, and Lemonade)

It was not as good as we thought it would be and my Mom ended up knocking it over by accident anyway so we barely drank it :joyfull:
After our pool time we got dressed so that we could head to Epcot
But first, some random Boardwalk photos
