Trip Report I'm Tagging Along ~ LIVE! *COMPLETED*

Almost everybody has one ~ a friend or relative who doesn't think twice about inviting his/her self along with whatever you have planned.

I never thought I'd be that person.

Fortunately, I have a very understanding family who is actually excited about my joining them at WDW. < Phew! >

It's been a year since my last live trip report, so I hope I can do @JenniferS and her fans proud!

The Who's ~
Me, @Tuvalu

My parents

My youngest brother T and his wife E

And then something my trip reports have been missing....

Adorable children!

A is 5

M is 4

and L is almost 2

Come along for tag-a-long fun!!

@LadyBelle, my parents ride Spaceship Earth too!

And the interactive ending is STILL broken!

Forgot to mention the bozos in the cars ahead of us that thought it would be funny to shine their phone flashlights in the dark area where you see planet Earth. Thanks for ruining the ambiance, guys.

Waiting standby for Soarin'. Less than 10 minute wait. Love September!

Apologies in advance @Tuvalu for liking 85% of your posts ! Very much enjoying the "live" trip report!! It makes my long office days a little less dull!

Sent to the new Concourse C.

Ready to soar!

Mom and dad's reaction to Soarin as we were flying was priceless and brought me to tears. All the "oohs" and ahhs" and comments about "remember when we saw that?" (Unlike me, they are world travelers. My world travels consist of the 11 Epcot countries!)

Mom: "I didn't miss the original Soarin' at all!" "I don't want this to end!"

Dad: "Unbelievable. Nothing can compare to that!"

I knew they'd love it.

Every time I have oatmeal for breakfast I wind up hungry an hour later. "Stick to your ribs" is a myth. And our lunch ADR is still 2 hours away.

Sounds like someone needs a cronut.

We had front row seats on Living With The Land.

There are special signs around each plant that are used as part of a dish for the F&W Festival.

Gators still gone

I was on the wrong side of the boat to snap most of the special signs. But I got this one.

 

[Tuvalu]

Now to use our FP for another glide around the world.

Did mom and dad like it as much the second time?

Is Mickey a mouse?

 

[Tuvalu]

Figgy, we went on your ride!

 

[Tuvalu]

You may be wondering where TEAML is this morning. My brother planned to take M to Epcot at opening to meet Anna and Elsa. E and the boys would meet up with them later.

Now remember, they are staying at the Contemporary. Monorail access. So when T and M tried to transfer monorails at the TTC, they learned the hard way that the Epcot line did not begin operating until 9 a.m.

Fortunately they only waited 20 minutes. I hope they got pics, cause they aren't in our Photopass account.

Now they are at Akershaus for the Princess lunch.

I purchased Em some tsum tsums (pic to come later) in Figgy's gift shop. After a restroom stop, we walked towards World Showcase.

The 'rents wanted to take the boat across.

I had other plans.

Oh, but this is soooo much better.

Farm Fresh Loaded Mac & Cheese

 

[Tuvalu]

They have really extended the ordering queues this year.

 

[Tuvalu]

Mac and cheese was not enough for my hangry tummy.

Butter chicken. The stuff dreams are made of.

My folks are huge fans of the Voices of Liberty and the American Adventure. I knew I'd find them here:
