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.

Following along @JenniferS . Was locked in at the Boardwalk during Hurricane Jeanne in 04. At that time the CM,s did everything they could to make the time enjoyable. We had dinner in the convention center and they had Goofy and Max entertaining the kids, watched the Clown pool overflow and my SIL took a souvenir shingle home.:rolleyes: Good Times! Stay Safe!

What do you think of Pandora? You all know I loved it.
LOVED it, but tummy is atwitter. Could definitely not ride it twice in a row ... which shouldn't be an issue for the foreseeable future.

Posted wait was 120 minutes. We had ridden and were back on Terra firma (or whatever the Pandora equivalent is) in less than 80. No complaints with that!

Not to brag, but I rode it twice in a row, and I could have gone a third if we had another FP. :cool:

The last time we were here, the restaurant's rotation seemed slower. I'm sure nothing has changed, just my perception of it. I actually couldn't look at the floor, as I felt a little motion sick. Bring on those roller coasters though. :hilarious:
Haven't eaten there in a while and was thinking about trying it on next trip. But after you're experience with the revolution, I might rethink this one. I can't believe how much your body changes once you hit 40!

Satuli Canteen for lunch.
Highly, highly recommended!
Real dishes and silverware. Very quick, friendly service. This place is a home run!

We both ordered the beef bowl with the sweet potato hash. Sorry.

We did mix it up with our sauces though. Chimchurri for Mike:

Creamy herb dressing for me:

One of each dessert, just so we could try them. Both very good, but way too early for me to be eating this much.

Chocolate cake:

Blueberry mousse something or other. This one was ostensibly mine, but I just had a single bite of each.
