I’ve got a Valentine’s Date at Disney!

When – February 14-18, 2013

What – Valentine’s Day Trip

Who – Just me and the hubs!

Why – We had actually planned on going with the kids this weekend since they had a 4 day weekend. We booked it quite a while ago and then the kids ended up having all kinds of conflicts. So we cancelled and went at Thanksgiving instead! So while their lovely faces were in that trip report, this one is adult only!

Around the middle of January, Stephen remembered that his favorite soccer team, DC United, was going to be playing at Wide World of Sports over President’s Day Weekend.

He said, “Man I wish we could still go to Disney in a few weeks.”

I was like, “Um, honey? WE can still go to Disney!”

Oh yeah!!

So we bought some plane tickets, scrambled to find some places to stay on points and we were booked!

As a bonus, good friends and fellow KK agents Heather (@DisneyHeather) and Missy (@polymissy) were going to be there at the same time. And Richard (@Master Yoda) was coming up for the day on Saturday! Woo hoo! Friends everywhere! What fun this was going to be!

The very, very best of goals. I wholeheartedly approve.

I knew you would!

Super fun report to read, as always! Thanks Tammy, you are so funny! and all of your pictures are great..

Thank you very much, miriamsolana!

Oh my. That is kinda tacky for mousekeeping to hover like vultures for you to leave. I don't think I'd have been so nice. "We have the room until 11. Hopefully we'll leave by then. No promises. Good luck." LOL!

Oh dang! Those red velvet cupcakes are so yummy! Somehow I doubt popcorn would've sufficedn for me. Heehee! The pork shanks ARE delicious! Never been a Dole Whip fan but I totally admire your level of dedication to consume one when it's cold out AND the sun has gone down.

Um, your straw incident w/the college girl (<--that doesn't even sound right!)....well when you were describing having the straw in your mouth and working it I was totally giggling like a 13 year old because that didn't sound right either...'specially from YOU. I mean, it's like hearin' my grandmother slip a swear! Sounds so much dirtier out of her mouth! LOLOLOL! So funny!

The hour long wait in the cold for a room opener. That's awful! I was secretly hoping Stephen was on the phone asking for Mickey to come snuggle y'all or rub your feet until you were warm...but the cab sounds like a nice option as well. Heehee!

Your pictures, of course, are killer. Just when I think you've outdone yourself I'll scroll and OH! Gosh, look at THAT one!!!!

Wasn't that tacky? I should have tried your line! Haha!

They are so so yummy, and popcorn was not the same. But there will be a next time! It was a little chilly for a Dole Whip, but worth it.

Oops. I need to work on my describing skills.

It was awful! And maybe we should have asked for Mickey!

Thank you very very much, Kelly.

So I got him to go get us some breakfast and I got to work! While I was editing, Mousekeeping knocked to see if we were still there and about to leave? It was about 9 am at this point.

This seems to be a recent phenomenon of the last year or two. Mousekeeping trying to hurry you out of your room on the morning of check out.

It really bothers me!

I appreciate that they’re busy and that people (myself including) love having their rooms ready early, but that room is mine until 11. I don’t want to feel like I’m inconveniencing someone by taking my time on my last morning.

I guessed (very incorrectly) that we’d be another 45 minutes, and 45 minutes later they knocked again. Admittedly my fault that time.

Stephen politely said it would be closer to 10:15 and I kept working. At 10:15, they knocked again.

Really?

At 10:30 I was done so we decided to leave the room and go to the lobby for the uploading process. When we opened the door, they were actually standing outside the door waiting.

It was 10:30!!!!!

It really leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

You are lucky, our room and 3 others toliets flooded the morning of our checkout. Now that's how you clear a room.

Oh my!! That would clear a room!

Tammy I absolutely loved this trip report!
I'm sorry to hear about your last night, that's awesome though that the resort was able to pay for a cab!
I must say I am IN LOVE with every single one of your pictures! I hope that when I get a better camera they can be half as good as yours!

Thank you, LeCellier.Lover! It was very nice of them to pay for a cab. It was a great peace offering.
Thank you again!

As usual I loved reading your reports. Lorelai and I lied on the floor Saturday, while she was battling her cold, and enjoyed all the photos. She also asked me to read all of the text you wrote. She said it was a great story.

Thank you tehSAC! Were you reading trip reports and watching soccer?
And tell Lorelai thank you very much!

We were.

 

[Pooh'sBuddy]

Fantabulous report, pics, and memes. You're a riot! Your situations with mousekeeping and SSR were total bummers.

Thank you, dkosdros!

We were.

I thought so!

Thank you, Pooh'sBuddy! Those parts were bummers! But overall it was still great.

At this point this trip report is going to devolve into a few soccer pictures. I am no soccer commentator (although I do know EVERYTHING about the game when one of my kids are playing ) so just skip ahead if soccer bores you to tears!

I soon noticed the professionals didn’t feel the need to stay anywhere near the fence, but I'm a rule follower, so I stuck to that fence like glue!

Time for some soccer! DC United is in white.

De Rosario got all wrapped up in the other players legs –

The other player won.

This is Chris Corb. He cracks me up! Look at his socks! Where are his shin guards? Well apparently these are the same shin guards he has worn since he was 8. And you can tell! They must be like 6 inches high!

De Ro in another collision:

This is Nick De Leon. He's made an interesting choice in hair color this year.

OMG! The team DC United is playing against is my local team: Montreal Impact!

I knew they were at Disney and when I first saw your pics I was like «The blue shirt looks familiar...» Thanks for the great pics!

Edit: and I just found out my team won the tournament! Woohoo!

 

[KwikE]

Nice pictures. What type of camera do you use?

Well yay for the Montreal Impact, Disney80! DC United has had a rough year. Rough.

Nice pictures. What type of camera do you use?

Thanks, KwikE! It's a Canon 5D Mark III.

Wow,Some high end camera there.
