Trip Report JenniferS is live - 9/3 - 9/16

Technically this is a pre-trip report, but we’ll be going live in less than a week!

This will be my third live September trip report.

It’s going to be a lot of same old/same old, as the cast, location, and ADR’s are pretty much the same. What can I say - we like what we like. And what we like is each other, Walt Disney World, Coronado Springs, and Free Disney Dining.

First, the who.
Me, JenniferS - Uber planning, pixie dust snorting Disney-aholic, 51 year old kid at heart (despite what the mirror says).

This is Hubby. He likes the Tar Heels, the Blue Jays, food, beer, and me. Not necessarily in that order.
The words most often heard coming out of his mouth are “Whatever you want, Baby.”

This is us. We are adorable together. We’re each other’s ride or die.

Last year, we were celebrating my 50th birthday (as much as women celebrate these “milestones”).

This year, we are celebrating Mike’s 50th (both of us born in August, so it’s close enough to count) AND our 25th wedding anniversary earlier this year.

We have children, but we don’t bring them to Disney very often anymore. If they decide to get married and start giving us grand-babies, I will re-visit this decision. But for now, they stay home. We are on Jen and Mike time.

After two live trip reports, I’m not sure how wordy this report will be, but it will be heavy on pics, most especially of food! As Mike says - I’m only here for the food.

Oh that’s too bad. We were really happy - everything was delicious and plentiful. We hadn’t been in a few years (since the massive overeating debacle of 2015) and are looking forward to going back. Curious what @JenniferS experienced.

I want more details of this massive eating debacle. (You’d think this would be a yearly event for Mike, but no.)

We got back to CSR at 11:50 last night.
We’d been hoping for earlier, so we could pick up our mugs and I could have my café mocha.

11:50 was not going to work, so Mike dropped me off at the front (where the heck did all the parking out front go?) and I went to get our beverages, while he went to park the car.

As I’m walking from El Centro to our room, in the dark, totally lost, I get this text that says, “I’m coming to you”.

I look up and there he is. 💕💕

Good thing too, because I really was just wandering around in the dark, well on my way to being lost.

He has just gone to get coffee (thus making the score 1-1), and then we are headed to DHS ... mega late.

Probably going to skip coming back to Pepper Market for lunch today, and just eat at DHS. From there, it’s back to Epcot. Dinner at Garden Grill tonight.

Side note - the new beds and pillows at Coronado are absolutely delicious. Love them!

Pics from DHS in an hour or so.

Rather than ask...I went back to page 1 for your plan. :hilarious:

Thursday, 9/6:
The schedule says “rope drop”. With the advent of FP+, we stopped being “rope drop” kind of people.
(Or at least stopped pretending to be.)
But this year, we have to do it twice. Unfortunately, it’s back to back days, but we really want to experience SDD and FoP, so there you have it. You have to suck it up sometimes.

My calendar says out the door by 7:45. 🙄

We will be headed to DHS today, and the plan is to stand-by SDD immediately, and then TSMM.

FP’s start at 10:00 for RnRC, ToT and A$$.
Plan is to stand-by ride a couple more attractions, but the truth is, Mike will park himself in Launch Bay. After last year, and the year before, I’m not sure if I can even bring myself to go in with him to see Kylo Ren. (And yes, I know I have the warmies for Kylo but that is sans mask.)

See how flexible we are. 😂
