Trip Report Holy Smokes! Let's see how it goes?! *COMPLETED*

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to my modest atempt in writing my very first Trip Report!

It all started when posting on a thread about the new smoking ban inside the parks, and someone (Hi @Lensman !) suggested that I could write about my experience during my next visit to WDW.

This Trip Report will NOT be just about smoking! Although I will be honest about my personal perspective about it during my visit.
(In no way am I endorsing or suggesting that it is advisable to smoke).

As I said before in this forum, I hope that in writing about our trip, not only will I share my little adventure with you, but also hopefuly, be distracted from smoking!

So, if you would like to join me, thank you! I hope you find it at least a bit entertaining

We love Cracker Barrel. We also love the general store in the front! It has many unique items including the old candy we loved when we were kids!!

Yes! the store is awesome, we always stay too long in there!
Cracker Barrel is a must do for us!

See what I did here?
I know you do!

Do you know what that drink is called? The one with the straw in the glass?

Yes, it's my favorite!
Shorty's Singapore Sling

Smart water and bananas is what helps me with "Taco foot". I don't know why, I don't get cramps in my calves, but my feet- and it feels like my foot is trying to fold in half like a taco.

Omg! That's exactly what it feels like!
Remember I said I've had maybe 3 cramps in my lifetime? They were all tacos!

I'll tell you about our (short) day at AK shortly, but since I'm feeling a little nostalgic about leaving the "World". Here's the last picture I took last night at OKW

Good morning!
Checking out today, right now enjoying our last cup of coffee at our patio.

The not so great news:
In the middle of the night got awaken by the mother of all cramps!!! My right calf, ouch!
It got hard as a stone and lasted for what felt like an eternity! I have a very high pain threshold, had maybe 3 cramps in my lifetime, and let me tell you, it still feels painful and sore.

So to all sporty people in here, how do you handle an intense muscular cramp? Thank you!

I'm not sporty, but I always have to jump out of bed, and kind of put my foot in a position as if I'm wearing a high heel, then roll my foot down... that takes car of the cramp for me right away, however dehydration is usually the reason... drink extra water today =D

I've always wondered, why in the middle of the night, right?!
I tried to massage my calve, but it's still sore

So, we got to AK at about 10:30am. Just stopped to take a picture in front of the Tree of Life, gotta do it!

 

[Nunu]

Then we entered Avatar Land to ride Flight of Passage, Frank's favorite ride in all parks, It is breathtaking! Definitely worth waking up at 5am for that FP

 

[Nunu]

Right after, we walked through a beautiful path that we haven't seen before. It takes you from Avatar to Africa.
Look how beautiful this place is!

Expedition Everest was next.
Here we go!

By then we were hungry (didn't have dinner last night) so...

Disclaimer: We shared that!

While having that embarassing lunch , it began to rain cats and dogs, electric storm! And since we had done what we wanted to do, and my leg is still bothering me a bit, we decided to call it a day

 

[Nunu]

Look at people literally running for cover while trying to leave the park!
Btw, the only designated smoking area is by Rainforest Cafe, same as before. I tried to have a cigarrete, but it was pouring! Oh well...

 

[Nunu]

Right now we are staying at the I-Drive area for the next few days.
But knowing ourselves, we might go back to WDW for one more day, being close and all!
I know... we have a problem!

Always in the middle of the night... it's so weird that way!
