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.

Or as I've been calling it - The Star Wars Runway Show - Pt. 1:

I did not know who Boba Fett was. :facepalm:

Because I was snapping pics at random, rather than staring through my phone screen the whole time, I missed a lot of the pyrotechnics, and "pew pew" special effects. So, you just get "smoke". Sorry.

There's really not much more to the show than a photo op, but I'm so glad we were able to watch it.

There's something very primal about Star Wars. The good, the bad; the light, the dark; the menace, the heroes; the music.

Oh no, Star Wars ain't fizzling out anytime soon. And given my choice between the many worlds of Star Wars or the Potter franchise, I would chose Star Wars every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

Merchandise Round-up (aka - Christmas presents!)

One for each son:

Supposed to be two for Son #1, and one for Hubby, but XXL is way too big for Hubby, so Son #1 scores all three pairs. Disney sleep pants are ALL he wears. At 6' 3", 280 lbs, NOBODY gives him grief.

One pair for Son #1, two for Ski.

It is what it is.

And what it is - is pouring! And thundering and lightning! And we have to get to Mexico in Epcot in 36 minutes.

Can't wait to see the food pics. Love San Angel.
Here you go.
I am stuffed! We had a late lunch, and even though I didn't eat that much, it was probably a couple of bites too many.

I broke down and ordered an unsweetened iced tea. I'm on my fourth, so at least I'm getting my money's worth.

No pomegranate lemonade for Hubby. Just "pink".

We both ordered the Combination Plate.

I wouldn't normally use my flash, but the people right next to us are allowing their children to misbehave, so I'm not feeling too guilty about being obnoxious.

The beef was lovely. Essentially a fork tender pot roast. The veggies under the beef ... delish!

Hold on to your hats - Hubby did NOT (I repeat did NOT) finish my plate. Told you we ate lunch a smidge too late.
