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.

To be continued ....

Character pics later, but while Mike awaits seconds of “everything”, I’ll share food pics.

This salad is very different than last year, so I didn’t know about the olives and tomatoes.
No worries, Mike ate it all, and a second smaller one was brought for me. I ate it all.

So yeah ... I ate two of these. Before the rest of the food. And a third with dinner. Good thing they are very tiny. (As I type, there is one left, eyeballing me , but I’ll leave it for Mike to sop up his gravy when he’s done.)

Everything was very good. Hot and flavourful, which is all I really require.

That sound you heard is not thunder it’s my stomach growling - that all looks delicious.

Change of plans, ‘cause that’s what we do.

When dinner is done, we’re going straight back to the resort to go swimming. Then it’s shower time, café mochas, and an early night, ‘cause we can’t sleep in again tomorrow. (Unless of course, we can. 😂)

Mike has already said FoP is worth a 90 minute wait. It’s supposed to be a really stormy morning, so we’ll see.

And yes, he’s still eating.

I'm loving your report so far and I can't wait to show my husband your "illegal" pictures of Star Wars land, he is going to love it. Where were the pictures taken from? By Muppet's exit?

I think the Fozzie Bear hat really suits Mike!;)

I also don't mind Pizzarizzo, our food has always been tasty and fresh. Maybe it isn't award winning pizza but I've had many worse pizza's.

And also that red top on you is really lovely and really compliments you.

Based on the angle I think the SW:GE pics were from TSL - between the bathrooms and the entrance to A$$.

Merchandise round-up:

I convinced Mike to get both t-shirts. I also picked up two pairs of socks for him. 😂

Two pairs of sleep pants for Son #1.

Ski gets Star Wars stuff. (Yes, he already has both Vader and Stormtrooper socks, but really, can you have too many? I think not.)

Luggage tags and keychains for stocking stuffers, or small gifts for undetermined recipients.

I also got a Mrs Potts teapot and Chip cup and saucer for Gen for Christmas. I may give it to her, or let Ski “buy” it off me. All wrapped up, so no pics.

Hmmmm, looking at your user name ....

I have the older really big plastic ones. I keep the washroom key on it at work. (It makes it pretty hard for someone to accidentally pocket it and take my potty key home.)

Ironically, my user name has nothing to do with Disney or ToT

Eagles are on. First game of the season, I think.

Swimming is only going to happen if I push it; which I don’t really care enough about to do. I think I’ll just have a shower and wash the ick out of my hair. (Seriously, it is nasty!)

And then when my food settles, I’ll go fetch us coffee/café mochas.

A couple of character pics. I look like carp, but Mike’s are fine.

You look pretty! And @ajrwdwgirl is right - quite a flattering shirt!

We rode the Nemo ride tonight before dinner.
Missed it/skipped it (whichever) last year.

Man, it’s lame.

The highlight is the seagulls squawking out front, then the queue, then nothing. Really, nothing, until the ride is over.

Worse in fact than Figgy. There I said it.
