Trip Report Did All My Wishes make for a Happily Ever After? *Completed*

It has taken me so long to get this TR started because our desktop computer died right after returning from this trip and it took us awhile to replace it.
I had all kinds of clever Trip Report titles in mind whilst on the actual trip, but I have since forgotten them. In my last TR, I believe I was lamenting the fact that I was unable to procure a California Grill ADR for this trip. I was also not thrilled that we were staying at OKW because of transportation issues. First world problems, amiright?! I really should keep in my that whatever PineapplePrincess wants, PineapplePrincess (almost always) gets.
A few weeks before this trip, our waitlist for BWV came through AND I was able to snag a Cali Grill ADR on our arrival night!
Here are the particulars of this trip:
Who: E, a.k.a MSUJafar & I
When: 9/28-10/3
Where: Boardwalk Villas
Why: E was very adamant about wanting to be at MK on the actual anniversary and who am I to argue?

We arrived around 1:30 and to my delight, the room was ready and it was a good one! I had requested "close to elevator" and we were the second room in from the elevator on the lobby level.

Our balcony had a cute porthole feeling to it. We loved it!

From the outside looking up at our room:

We never did visit the pool on this short trip, but it would have been very convenient.
After a quick trip via Uber to Publix for snacks and drinks, it was time to get ready for some pre-dinner drinks and a farewell to HEA.

. @Darstarr dared me to get a Vodka and Lemonade and add some of the spicy strawberry syrup from the Churros to it, so that's exactly what I did!

Dared sounds rather aggressive. Could we go with suggested? Recommended?
I am glad you tried it, glad you had a great trip and glad you shared your trip with us!

Well @PineapplePrincess - thank you for your report and pics!

I think you would make a great Fairy Godmother and I wish you luck with that endeavor.

Scary? No I'm impressed that you know a lot of the WS bartenders!

"disappointing" seems to be a common description of the Ratatouille ride. I still want to try it.

I can't wait to see SSE with all her new lights!

Boardwalk is always tempting for me but if I'm going to stay in that area I just can't seem to break away from BC and YC.

I really enjoyed following along on your trip reports, thanks for sharing!
And I am curious, what is a virtual locker?

Thanks! They ran out of actual lockers on the anniversary. We went to I believe the area where you would rent a stroller ( honestly I’m not remembering), but it definitely wasn’t the regular locker area. We paid for our ”locker” and a CM took our stuff backstage and gave us a ticket. We were legit worried that we would never see our stuff again, but it was a super smooth process at the end of the night.

Thanks for the info.
But, it just occurred to me as further reinforcement on the opinion that Disney has become the champions of nickel-and-diming.
Back in the day, you could get your items you paid money for sent back to your hotel room. Then they would only send them to the front of the resort, then they would only send them to the front of the park.
Now you get to pay for your purchases, you pay for a virtual locker, and you carry the items you spent money on to this virtual locker at the front of the park.
