Trip Report Giving It My All-LIVE!!🤞

Yes, I know I still haven’t finished my TR from January 2023. I’ve been back 4 times since & haven’t TR’ed on those. So, what is possessing me to attempt this? Your guess is as good as mine. As I was leaving the house this morning I started thinking about it & decided to give it a shot. I figured we don’t take many pictures bc we repeat the same things quite often so this will be more of a brief summary of what we‘ll be doing over the next 5 days. And there probably won’t be much commentary from me until the end as I’m very old school & prefer to type on an actual keyboard at the computer, not my phone or iPad!!

Quick rundown bc again I hate typing on this:

E, J & myself
April 1-5
POR

Monday, April 1st

E was a bit concerned about airport crowds & parking so R drove us to the airport since he was off from work today.

I went to charge my iPad this morning & look what I found @Tuvalu & @Tony the Tigger!! Apparently I closed it in my iPad-I never did lose it!!

Typical Pittsburgh weather

The precheck line was longer than the regular security line.

Took off only 5 minutes late!!

Our Mears shuttle just pulled onto property!! The fun is about to begin!!!

I'm so glad you did another report! I love reading them.

Boy does yeeha Bob have a lot of energy. We went to his show last summer and I don't know how he does that!

Thank you for sharing, glad to see you enjoyed your trip and had lots of meet ups!

Great TR
I think this should be your method
A quick not overly detailed glimpse of the world - if you do this each time you go we that do not go much will get our Disney fix!! And less guilt over starting and not finishing

A live TR from riverside. I never thought I’d see the day. I’ve been a little busy, but I had fun catching up today!

Busy?

Busy?

My return to “real life” today was rough!

 

[LeighM]

Me too!!
He is very funny. I need to start writing down what he says. And yes, he does look a lot older.
I hope so too for your sake!! Have a great time!!

Thank you!! I hope you enjoyed it.


I’m so glad we solved that mystery!! Safe travels home!!

Had we been there that day I’m sure you would have seen us. We spent quite a bit of time there!!

I actually don’t mind the multiple stops bc I love looking at the grounds!!

Agreed!!

It was great!!

How cool!!

I couldn’t agree more!!

Thank you!! I know, it’s crazy!!

It went by way too quick!! I struggled a bit but it could have been worse. I think it’s time to pay the doctor a visit though.

I hope sooner than later!!

I may not have been super timely but I was pretty happy with myself overall!! At least I finished this one!!

The stops aren't the problem for me LOL. It's the longer than usual waits for the buses that get to me most. When I stay there, I like to request a room near the west depot in Alligator Bayou because it's the first stop for most of the routes and I'm guaranteed a place on the bus. I've been burned too many times at the south depot at Riverside and I'm not a very patient person

No TR?

No TR?

Loco did not go to WDW (I know, crazy right?! ) Perhaps our friend will post about his trip in a Chit Chat thread.

I’ll see what I can do.

Also hard to believe, but it’s been nearly a year since we’ve been to WDW, with no set plans to return(yet). You know of course that doesn’t mean we won’t get our Disney fix in elsewhere!

Didn’t you mention a return to Disneyland sometime? Those peanut butter squares are calling your name!

I’ll be enjoying a few in less than 60 days!

Remember to bring some home, they freeze very well.

I really had no intention of resurrecting this TR but I have some very rare free moments right now & realized I never responded to these. My apologies!!

We‘re going in May

Well, that's come & gone--I hope you had a wonderful time!!

Glad you had a great time! We will be at POR next weekend.

Thank you & I hope you did too!!

Thanks so much for doing the live trip report! I loved following along - always enjoy your reports. 🩷

It was really fun & so much easier!! I appreciate your kind words.

I'm so glad you did another report! I love reading them.

Boy does yeeha Bob have a lot of energy. We went to his show last summer and I don't know how he does that!

That's so sweet of you!!
Isn't that the truth!! I get tired just watching him!! I hope you enjoyed it!!

Thank you for sharing, glad to see you enjoyed your trip and had lots of meet ups!

Thank you for reading!! The meet ups were all so much fun!!

Thanks & I couldn't agree with you more. I think that's the problem with doing them at home. I spend too much time on them-like I'm writing an English paper or something. I still feel guilty over the one I started from like 1 1/2 years ago & never finished!! Maybe someday......

You & me both!! But, stranger things have happened!!

Smart thinking!! There's a lot of times where we would just walk to the West Depot so we knew we would at least get on the bus!! The only time we usually get on at the South Depot is during non-peak times. I've been on way too many busses that end up skipping the South Depot b/c they're already full before they get there.

Well, that's come & gone--I hope you had a wonderful time!!

Thanks, we did! We were a bit surprised at how warm it was for mid-May though, especially as we more or less skipped Spring over here. And I was really shocked today to see - despite our current heat wave - that leaves are turning and starting to drop! On 2 August!

June was pretty brutal also!! I'm tired of heat. I can't wait for fall!!
