Trip Report If At First You Don't Succeed...*COMPLETED*

Well we're trying again.

Easter week at WDW.

Not my favorite week to visit but when your travel buddy is a teacher, you make the sacrifice. Except this year it doesn't feel like a sacrifice. The loss of our Easter 2020 vacation (thanks to COVID) was harder than I expected. I’m excited to have the chance for a do-over!

Of course the plans we had in 2020 aren't the same for 2021. We'll have no Fastpasses to skip the long lines. There will be no turkey sammie for lunch at Be Our Guest or All-American Sundae from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. No fireworks to conclude our Disney days. And we'll be staying at a different resort.

But that's all okay....there's still fun to be had! And thanks to the credit we received from last year's cancellation, most of our trip is already paid.

I have to give David's Vacation Club Rentals props. Eighteen months ago I'd signed a "no refunds" contract for our 2020 points rental, figuring it was a low-risk gamble. When the pandemic happened and WDW closed, we considered our monies lost ~ disappointing for sure, but understanding that was the result of the risk we took. After all, David's is a business which would also lose money from this pandemic. Legally they did not have to do anything for us. Yet I received a travel voucher for the full amount we paid.

I hope to report live on the adventures of Tuvalu and Em beginning next Sunday. Time will tell if I succeed. ;)

Looks like you had a very generous amount of cheese on yours! (Not a bad thing lol) And is that the turkey BLT that Em got? If so, how was it? Also, that chocolate chip cookie looks like heaven 😍
It was very cheesy...and very hot.
And amazing as always!
Yes, Em always gets the Dinde BLT. It’s her favorite. Although she did savor the bite of Jambon Beurre that I gave her....

I'm guessing yours in on the left and Em's on the right. Normally, I'd expect you to go for the Turkey, but I was thinking in past TRs, you liked the ham and cheese thing even better than their turkey?
Turkey isn’t even on my radar at Les Halles.

Crowds around the lagoon not too bad.

Since we had already explored the countries from Canada to America on prior days, we keep walking until we get to Italy.

There are lots of pretty flowers here!

Em wants her dad to create this display in her yard.

Woody responds exactly as we expect. “All it takes is time and money.”

Neither of which we have enough of. 😔

However this scene makes us smile!

Tell Woody he has to put in topiaries as well😉

Our boat is here.

We are onboard 40 minutes after joining the line.
It would have been even less time if more boats were running. Since the boats have less capacity, it makes sense to have more boats available to guests.

But that costs money.

I’d be more understanding if the boats actually departed the dock when full.

However today we are stationary for at least 5 minutes, waiting for the next boat to arrive at the exit dock. That speaks volumes as to how many boats are actually on the course.

Our female skipper attempts to entertain us. She is a graduate of the Steven Wright School of Comedy.

I hate Steven Wright.

Guess the “sleeping” zebra passes the non-offensive test.

As do the totem pole guys.

Only one thing has changed since our last cruise.

RIP Trader Sam.
