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.

But that's YOUR dog...that's up to you what you allow your dog to do in regards to you and your own food. But I can't imagine you'd let her approach a stranger and stick her nose in their food. And if your dog licked my food, you'd be buying me new food.

She wouldn't even get close to the stranger, she would be hiding behind or between my legs!:) And no I wouldn't let her misbehave. Unless I really wanted your food!:joyfull:

Holy jumping! I am glad I didn't fetch the coffee.
Mike says the lobby and public areas are full of dogs. Standing just inside Cafe Rix looking at the muffins, Mike's leg was licked by a bull mastiff on an extended leash.

For those of you who don't know, I am dog phobic to the point of full blown panic attacks. A bull mastiff ... that's stroke territory!

Also, nobody seems to care about the designated smoking area policy.

I'll be staying in the room today by choice, and tomorrow probably by mandate. It's all good. Have a great day everyone.

Yay, muffins.

he should be glad it was just a lick and it didn't get friendlier with his leg ;)

I'm glad to see they've improved a few things since Hurricane Matthew last year. I think the resorts and cast members did a fantastic job considering everything but it was obvious that not much thought was given to procedures until they were sure that the hurricane was coming our way. It seems to be well thought out this year. I am most glad to see that they are using their TV channel to share information. That was one thing I was most shocked about last year...the communication wasn't very good. Plus, the voicemail light on our phone was broken so we never did know when they sent out messages. I mentioned that to the cast member upon check out and she was shocked. They never really thought about checking that the lights on the phones were actually in working order. Stay safe!
