Trip Report Happy Retirement Sister Dear!

So my sister just retired from her job at the overnight delivery service place (not the Big brown truck one) and wanted to go to Disney World And UniversAl. Who am I to turn down an invitation? 😎

Who: Me, my sister C and her boyfriend M
When: October 6- 12
Where: Endless Summer Resort (10/6 - 10/8) with early entry and Universal Freedom Pass (whatever that is)
TBD for Disney. (10/8 - 10/12) Im trying to talk her out of Coronado Springs and into one of the Port Orleans resorts.
Attempting to go to MNSSHP on that Tuesday. She wants to go and it’s the main reason I’m going because I’ve been to the party before and her BF wants to sleep. 🤣🤣

Have had a really stressful several months at work. This can’t come soon enough!

Friday (cont)

We then took the monorail to EPCOT. Being Friday afternoon and Food & Wine Festival, it was very crowded.

We headed to one of my favorite sections

We then loaded for our fligh.

After our flight, we decided to hop on a boat.

I agree with @Tuvalu in that these decorations are adorable.

We maneuvered our way into Mexico and joined the queue for Grand Fiesta Tour.

And that’s as far as we got into World Showcase. My sister and M wanted to go back to the resort to nap before dinner.

After naps had been achieved, we initially went down to the boat dock to go to Disney Springs. Due to the hurricane, the boats were not running. So we headed to the South Depot for Disney Springs.

Our reservation was at CityWorks, because my sister is not an adventurous eater, nor eats seafood.She had a smash burger taco, M had the Cuban, and I had Fish and Chips. We all really enjoyed the food.

We attempted to walk a bit around DS, but it was very crowded. I did get a picture of this mural in one of the stores.

It was getting a bit too peopl-y, so we headed back to the resort.

Friday was supposed to be our final night, but we decided to extend our stay. I found an email from Disney crediting our LL purchases from Thursday. I was a bit worried because earlier in the day I had the CM and MK move all our LLs from Thursday to Saturday with no problem. So, basically our AK day’s LL were free! At least that’s how I’m going to look at it. 🤫

We took a walk around Asia to pass the time.

Our first LL was ready. But it did take a while to get to the vehicle.

Some of my favorite pics of the safari. It was around noon and was one of the warmest days of the trip. The guide was amazed that this hippo wasn’t in the water staying cool.

There were definitely muddy spots and pools of water left over from Milton, but overall was pretty good.
