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. ;)

We need time for things to happen.
We finish breakfast in just under an hour.

Time to hit the road.

Heavy rain is in the forecast for FL and we want to beat it if we can.

I send the next two pictures to @Darstarr with, "Get here fast, the sun is out!!"

She is on her way up from South Florida. We had hoped for a quick meet but the timing doesn't work out. At Chef Mickey's I was able to "virtually" receive a fun present she had for me (photos can be found in her TR.)

We are in the car less than an hour when the rain begins. It is relentless for several hours. Traffic is horrible. We get rear-ended.

But Em and I would do it all again for the fantastic vacation we just had!
Glad you two had an awesome time! Sorry about the fender bender, but I am glad you're both Ok.

Thanks for the pics of Chef Mickey's breakfast! It's been a while since we've been there even though it's not a buffet it looks AMAZING...I am so hungry right now.

Thanks for sharing!

I know this info is not news to anyone anywhere, but this upcoming trip is so needed and welcome, I honestly can’t wait.

As far as the GIF is concerned, you’re forgiven 😂😂😂 They’re part of the modern world, everyone loves and uses them —- I am just gonna have to get used to it!!

It has been years since Woody and I have been upstairs in the Imagination pavilion. We told @Nunu about the fun activities located in the Imageworks that we participated in as a family.

The Imageworks of today is nothing compared to yesteryear.

Another Magician meet. This time at Sunshine Seasons.

But they ended up in my Photopass account, so maybe they were! 🤣

It was a great evening!
