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.

Wave and say hi, if you see us. Mike makes us pretty easy to spot.
I can vouch... When we met, I saw Mike long before Jennifer. He found me long before she did as well. :cool:
Oh duh, that would have been the polite thing to do. My bad.
You may have trouble getting back into Canada, young lady! We have standards! :cautious:

:hilarious:

Things are picking up. I went out on our covered walkway to take a quick 15 second video (which I cannot link), and got this wet:

... from a COVERED walkway.

We've put a towel on the floor in front of the door, as that is the way the wind is driving the rain.

On the plus side, the tornado warnings ended at 7:10. This wave anyway.

We're in for the night and hunkered down. Mike did a final coffee run, and CM's are advising that they expect Pepper Market to be open for breakfast at some time tomorrow.

The worst is still a few hours away, but should be done by 4:00, 5:00 in the morning.

Pretty sure I'm done with outdoor pics. My clothes were literally soaked like I'd jumped in the pool.

You know what's funny?

Not funny. But funny. :hilarious:

The worst of it will be 10:00 - 4:00 am.

We are on the second floor of a three story building. This is ideal - as the forecasters and anchors are telling people to stay away from the top floor, as roofs are susceptible in these high winds.
My mom and I were talking about this. You don't want to be on the top floor because of winds, but you don't want to be on the bottom floor in case of flooding. Second floor seems ideal in this situation.
