Trip Report JenniferS was live! 9/6/17 - 9/16/17

This will be my fourth live trip report in a year, and after NYC last week, I thought Hubby had reached his limit, but he says, "No, go ahead, do a live trip report. It lets me control the tv while you talk to your friends." (As we meet more of my WDWDisney friends, he uses finger quotes around "friends" less and less.)

So, here we go, another live trip report. I really don't have the will to do a post trip report, so it's "live" or nothing. Once I'm out of the bubble, I'm out.

Introductions.

That would be me, Jennifer, on the left. Big Disney fan, big Blue Jays fan, big Hubby fan. Ace, in the middle - although he will always be BJ Birdie to me. Hubby, Mike, on the right. Although Mike is the one who first introduced me to Disney in 1991, it's not really his thing. He goes with me most years to make me happy. And also for the food.

As with our past three trips, we will be spending 11 days, 10 nights at Coronado Springs Resort. We booked a BounceBack offer before checking out last year, before knowing how much construction would be going on. Oh well, it is what it is. And what it is, is my favourite resort in my Happy Place; so it's all good.

We have a Preferred King room booked, which means Casitas 1, 2, or 3. Nonetheless, I think I will be sending in a room preference fax tomorrow asking for a refurbed King room in either 7A or 8A. I'll be happy either way. I am ridiculously easy to please whilst in WDW.

Yes, I am one of those Free Dining parasites. By booking the BB offer last year, we are actually getting the full DDP for free, instead of having to upgrade from QDP. I put great thought and effort into our ADR's. Mike is a big guy and eats a lot. The heat and humidity really kills my appetite, so Mike eats at least half of my meals too. (I've recently packed on 20 pounds, so that may be a good thing.)

Next up, our somewhat loosey goosey itinerary.

I love your live report so far! I think you might have the right idea, about doing it as you go rather than trying to piece it together when you get home! I might try it in December for our trip!

Like everyone else, I'm going to say.... be safe!!

Also, curious,... did the water leak or did it all make it there?
Every bottle arrived intact. :)

I can only do live reports. I still haven't finished my NYC trip report from a couple of weeks ago. Once I'm home, my happy balloon deflates, and I just can't be bothered for a while.

Pluto, Chip and Dale each came within moments of us being seated; Mickey, the second I took my first mouthful of salad. In total, every character passed by three times. The restaurant was not busy. The entire pavilion was pretty deserted. I'm not sure how busy F&WF was, as we never made it to that side of the park.

The characters were quite fond of the "you're so tall" schtick.

I have a cousin whose nickname is "Two Bottles Callaghan". :)



Ew.

The character experience at GG makes up for any lack in the food, though. Great pics!
Actually the food was really good. Everything was served piping hot, and was flavourful. Not high brow by any means, but good food is good food.

Our server, Jay, was absolute top notch. I would have been satisfied with just rolls, salad, and dessert. (Same for 'Ohana.) :hilarious:

5 minute stand-by for TSMM. I kid you not. But, but, but, we have FP's. Let's do both!

A friend of mine told me to "go with the green".

But then, I went with the blue. :(

It's so fluffy I could die.
(Oh wait, wrong park.)

Even at 11:15, stand-by is only at 15 mins!
