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 ....

Mike was 100% willing to wait for fireworks, or even to go back into the park.

It was me who said nah.

We had a really nice day, but rides-wise, we hardly did any. Just goes to show that there’s more to the Disney Magic than just rides.

With all that planning....how did you miss the 10pm Illuminations during F&W weekends?

C'mon Jennifer!!!!😉
😂 This was never supposed to be a fireworks night. It was supposed to be an early night.

If you’ve read any of my previous TR’s, you’ll know I play fast and loose with the calendar all the time. You just can’t predict weather, crowds, and how tired you’re going to be.

Heading down for coffee. Probably.

I'm also a pretty extensive planner who also gets caught up by changes all the time.

Enjoy the coffee......or not.

Our friend from home, Dianne.
We met up with her and her sister at the Rose & Crown before dinner.
