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 ....

We got in a 35-minute SB line for IaSW, but Mike was clearly not impressed - although he would have stuck it out.

Our last attraction of the trip will be ... PhilharMagic. And that’s quite fine by me.

From here, it’s off to the Main Street Confectionary to spend our last 13 credits.

Hoping Eric wants a few things, because I need 13 pieces of fudge like I need a hole in the head.

Checked into the Ramada. Credit card ... declined.

Me: Try it again, please. There’s nothing wrong with the card.
Ramada Person: Declined.
Me: Again, please. I just used it, it’s fine.
Ramada: Declined.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Finally I gave her a different card.

Got to the room and promptly called MasterCard. There is NOTHING wrong with the card. (We pay it off EVERY month - there are nothing but the most recent Disney charges on it.) 🤦‍♀️

Anyway, all checked in. Freshening up, and heading out to Narcoossee’s.

Bought the Britto Stitchie, a pair of sleep pants for Son #1, and a golf shirt for Mike. Didn’t buy the Tiki thing, because I’m just not sure where to put it. (Either at home, or in the luggage. 😂)

Milkshake, lobster, and creme brûlée pics coming up.

This was Mike’s, but when he wasn’t looking I might have dipped my bread into some of the Caesar dressing. Holy Hannah, this was good.

If only the bread were on the same level as the Wave or the Yachtsman.

Mine, mine, all mine.
(Well actually, I gave Mike my claws and my asparagus.)

Surf and turf for Hubby.

My first and only creme brûlée this trip.
Was there ever any doubt?
What is surprising is that Mike ordered the same.

Before the entrees were served, HEA began, and everyone went out on to the veranda. It was wonderful. This really is our favourite way to say good-bye to Mickey for another year.

Plane boards at 12:41 tomorrow for a 1:16 departure. I figure we need to be out the door by 10:00. Up by 9:00 because we have to reshuffle some bags to accommodate today’s purchases.

Coffee at the airport, as we’ve decided against a big breakfast. Anybody want to bet we get BK in Buffalo though?

I’ve downplayed my hip the last couple of days. It’s going to be a long flight. Tuesday can’t come soon enough quite frankly.

With that being said, I still got my 10,000 steps. Ha! (It’s not actually the walking that pains me; it’s sitting, standing, ramps, and stairs.) I’ll live.

And the only time I used an elevator was the day we checked into Coronado. I braved the stairs every other time.

Thank you so much for the great trip report and wonderful pictures! I feel like I've been eating vicariously all week.:) The lobster looks wonderful. I'm looking forward to next year's trip report.
