Pre-Trip Here, in this hostile world, my story begins....

***Judy Dench or Jeremy Irons voice over optional


It takes (what feels like), 15,000 years to come up with my next bright idea: planning a trip for my wife and her mom so my wife would catch the Disney vacation bug and want to buy an AP! There was only one small problem, when they visit, I will have to stay behind.

Now, lets move ahead to the present in Atlanta, Georgia, because something is about to happen that will change the course of my future. I was digitally pounding reeds flat (typing on my computer) to create better record keeping plans for their February travels, finances, and unfortunately my own calendar plans which did not include me being at WDW. But it also brought with it the dawn of a great WDW trip in April!

At this point, my wife and MIL had taken over the trip I planned and I would have to stay home, which most of you already understand why. But my wife, who is as clever as a Phoenician came up with a solution! To create and plan a simple, relaxing trip in April to WDW for just us. Remember how easy it was to breeze through my last trip report full of beer pictures and swollen puffy eyes? Thank my wife- she invented this upcoming trip that will allow you to experience a brand new one!


Ok, ok, enough SE dialogue, lol. Lets get to it! As some of you have read in my other PTR, my wife and her mom are visiting in Feb which was a trip that took several changes and lots of waiting for an all clear from the Doctor. Giving away a Disney trip is not an easy thing to do, but they definitely need it and I will get "good husband" credit points for being so generous, hahaha! I was planning on cashing in my credit points to convince my wife to let me buy a 4 wheeler, but as she was planning their trip she asked if it would be ok if she got an AP. My response; Dilly Dilly!!! She was happy and she immediately asked if we could plan a trip in the Spring since it has been appx two yeas since we visited together. Another Dilly Dilly was in order. I was back to digitally pounding reeds flat on my computer and soon after I had trip booked!!

Who: My wife and I

Where: 5 nights at BWV studio room.

The Boardwalk Resorts are are favorites (with AKL a close second). We spend a majority of our time in WS but I have a feeling that we will be in AK a lot this trip to try all the new food and booze offerings. She will get to experience it with her mom soon and that will help with planning our trip once she is more familiar.

You can also find us at Tune In Lounge early in the morning enjoying adult beverages

Another favorite of ours is Crews Cup Lounge. Here is my wife reminding me that I am #1

So much love!!! lol.

We have no yet started to plan any ADR's but are it looks like we have rain moving int Atlanta today which is dashing our plans of hitting the Atlanta Beer Fest taking place today. So the new plan is to find a good selection of craft brew, crank up Youtube and the MDE app make some plans this evening!

Updates coming soon. Thanks for following along everyone!

Good morning from the balcony

Having some coffee and waiting for C to get up. We haven't decided what park to start at today. Epcot has EMH so we will be there this evening . We had a great rest of the day yesterday. While we were at Baseline yesterday we decided on pizza for dinner but could not get an ADR at Via Napoli. It did offer Ill Mulino tho! I told my wife how several people , (mostly @lostprophet if memory serves) have stated how the pizza there is better than Via Nap. C was somewhat skeptical but agreed to give it a try.

We hit a few attractions before heading out and back to the room for a break before dinner. I was extremely proud of C because she rode ToT for the first time in about ten years!! I tricked her a long time ago and told her it didn't really drop and the elevator you saw from outside was not the one you were actually in. She was not happy when we got off and hated it. Well, she gave it a shot finally and she LOVED it. We got some great pics I'll post in the TR.

We hit the room and showered up and then headed to Ill Mulino to see what all the hype is about. It is a beautiful place and the service was absolutely amazing! We started with the risotto balls and they were out of this world. I would go back just for those.

The bread was great as well.

C ordered the Viaemilla Pilsner and it was probly the best pilsner I've ever tasted and was worth the $14 price. Everything was going great. The food was mouthwatering, the service was top notch, the drinks were flowing and we could not wait to try the pizza as it surely would not disappoint. Then it arrived.

As the waiter set it down I wanted to pull out my phone and text Sean (lostpro9het) to see if we were in the right place. By the looks of it, It did not seem like anything special. I figured once I took I bite the magic would happen. We both grabbed a slice and dug in. Within a few seconds I had made up my mind. This was definitely on the level of Totinos microwave pizza. I can only hope that we were served was a fluke and the chef was just having an off day. Everything else was amazing. But I've had better pizza in Home Ec. class when we used bagkes and shredded cheese. We ordered the margherita pizza. The crust was thinner than Disney toilet paper and any form of tomatoes were in the sauce and the basil was nothing more than thin strips of what looked like green streamer paper. I am not trying to be harsh. It was just not good at all. We were in the right place, @lostpro9het ? Did we order it the wrong way? Please advise.

Aside from the pizza being less than we desired, we will definitely go back and try some other dishes. It was also one of the best experiences in terms of service. I can't say enough about how good the staff is. We have dined at dine restaurants and this pace is right up with the best. When I went to the bathroom, I left my napkin/cloth on my seat and when i returned it had been refolded into a Swan and placed back on the table. We really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back. Just no pizza.

We caught an Uber from Swan over to Poly to have a few drinks before MK. I had received a message from the Embassador of O-Town herself and that she would be in the area and we were hoping to meet up! C and I arrived and soon after I was greeted by the President of the Florida chapter of Tambooo Lounge , the one and only @blgauger and she even brought the Golf Guru too!

With members of the Georgia and Florida council of Tambooo present, there was a "must do" picture in order.
