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.

Today was supposed to be an MK day. On Tuesday however, we got up early, made rope drop, and banged out 12 rides in 4 hours ... without any FP's. We then went back to MK on Wednesday. Mike said - that's enough MK. :hilarious:

So, today is now going to be a DHS day. We have "milkshakes only" at Sci Fi, and for lunch, maybe a return trip to PizzeRizzo.

Thanks to the Irma lockdown and the computer glitch, we sit with 7 TS credits, 8 QS credits, and 21 Snack credits remaining, and approximately 27 hours to use them. That knapsack full of Irma provisions is probably going to be a knapsack full of snacks for the boys on the return trip.

We also have two unused Park days, but there is nothing I can do about those.

Have you done Splash, Thunder Mt., and Storybook Circus? I don't remember any photos from those.
Splash is closed. Thunder Mountain, we did back to back one day, and there is nothing in Storybook Circus for us.

Here's what we didn't do:
Jungle Cruise (it was closed every time we tried) :(
Tiki Birds with Dole Whips
Any spinner :rolleyes:
The Train :(
Philharmagic
HEA or ANY night time fireworks (from an actual park) :jawdrop:

Doing a little bit of packing, and Mike counts the beer left in the fridge, trying to figure how much room I have to leave in the duffel bag for the leftovers.

"Fifteen. I'll have a couple tonight, so maybe take home ten."

Yeah, and I'm the one who's bad at math. :facepalm:

ETA - Apparently that's "Irish math".

Tomorrow. :(

We have a full day today, and then a late'ish dinner at Narcoossee's tonight. We're out of here by 10:00 tomorrow, having a farewell brekkie at Kona with Eric (must order the bacon, NOT the sausage) and then an hour or so at Disney Springs before heading to the airport.

I just tried to book our BounceBack offer, but the current wait time to speak to a rep is "more than 30 minutes". It's actually Disney's dime this time, but we're headed out the door shortly.

You have until 10 PM the day you check out.
