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 ....

I’m also rearranging today’s schedule. I don’t really feel like going to Disney Springs today. I’d rather hang around the pool, have a nice lunch, and then go to the party early to avoid the rush to get in.

I will, of course, run it by Mike when he gets in.

Anyone want to guess his answer ....

This is what today originally looked like.

Now Mike just has to decide if he wants his favourite burger at the restaurant formerly known as Pepper Market, or the lobster roll at CHH for lunch.

The plan now is to hit MK before 3:00 and skip Disney Springs altogether today.

I have no problem getting into the water - until about my waist, then I shake and I shudder and I offer up great histrionics getting the rest of me wet. (Not new, my whole life.)

Mike: Why are you only insulated up to your belly button?

😂😂😂 Oh Baby, I am “insulated” from head to toe.

Loving reading about your entire trip adventure!! So sorry about the delay of the plane, but so glad you were able to make it that night! Looks like you're having loads of fun!!
We go in 2 months! I'm going to have to stop by Ample Hills and check out that "ooey gooey" because I've heard of it but haven't tried it yet!
We did FOP in the AM on our trip last year and it did mess with my head a little, but that may have been because I wasn't "just" looking at the screen and I was also looking at the ride mechanisms. We are eager to try Sauli Canteen! Glad to hear a good reccomendation!

LOVE that you found a Hidden Mickey on Soarin'!!!! :cat::cat:

Some days, you just need an off day at Disney. Enjoy the Halloween Party!

Lunch!
2 X Philly Cheesesteak. Soooo good.
Mike put jalapeño peppers on his. Apparently there was quite a kick to them.

I ate 1/2 of mine, none of the fries, but all of his wedges.

The beer can go back to the room and join its friends in the fridge.
The margarita can go back to Home Depot and join its friends on the paint thinner shelf.

Mike is still chocolate caked out from this morning, but I got this for me anyway.
I ate about a third and will enjoy the rest later.
Apparently looks are deceiving, because this is very light. (I don’t normally like chocolate cake all that much, but I know from previous trips that this is really good.)

And hopefully Housekeeping is finally done in our room, as we need to get cracking! We’ve got a party to attend.

Those wedges look GOOD.
