Trip Report JenniferS Is Live - 9/7/16 - 9/17/16

Hi, my name is JenniferS, and I am a Disneyholic. I have been accused of being a Pixie Dust snorter. I've been accused of worse, so no biggie.

Once we get home from a Disney trip, I am always in a bit of a funk, and never really up to doing a proper trip report. For those of you who know me, I generally post live over in Chit Chat somewhere. This is my first dedicated live trip report in the actual Trip Report Thread.

The cast:
Me. JenniferS. Just turned 49. Honestly friends, I don't know how that happened. I still feel 27. But, my passport and driver's licence insist I was born in 1967, and I have two 20-something sons, so it must be true.

This is me, on my way to work this morning. All smiles, because this is my last day of work for almost two weeks!

And this is Hubby. He is not on his way to work today, as he has been off work for 6 months. He is 48 years old and this is the first entire summer he has had off since he was 14. In 31 years together, this is only the second time I have seen him with a tan.

Goofy is his favourite character.

And last year, he was obsessed with this over-sized "Stitchie". There was no room in our luggage, but this year, I am determined to buy it for him, and bring it home by any means necessary. Actually, I'm just going to bring our big SouthWest duffel bag, and pay for an extra bag coming home.

This will be our first Disney trip, just the two of us, since 1992! :jawdrop:

Okay, that's the Who.
Coming up next - the Where.

A random thought about the new Soarin' ....

Because you are visiting specific, identifiable geographic locations, rather than water, trees, water, golf course, water, aircraft carrier ... it is easier to remember which exact scene is coming next.

I could probably recite them in order, without the visual clue of the previous scene; but I won't, because I know somebody has requested no spoilers.

Also the scene transitions are growing on me.

Who's the jerk who requested no spoilers?! :mad:

What's that you say, Stitchie? You want me to take you home?

So, was Stitchie kidnapped and rescued from that evil institution?
Looking forward to this portion of the report as will give valuable information for DS's Star Wars birthday celebration.

Standing in front of the Chinese Theatre waiting for Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular to start.

People had staked out their spots more than 45 mins ago, so I'm pretty sure we have a crappy location. No matter.

I will not be watching through a phone screen. No offence, but this is our only night scheduled to catch it.

Okay, I lied. A couple of pics.

Where are those lights coming from? MGM.
Yeah, but where are those lights coming from? MGM.

Hubby was not as impressed as I was. Kept saying the Frozen fireworks were better.

Ummmm yeah, the Frozen fireworks were the best we've ever seen on property. Plus, I could sing.
Let it go. Let it go ....
