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.

It's funny how things turn out.
We've gone from zero 'Ohana ressies this trip, to two.

We were scheduled for a Tusker House/ROL dinner package for Saturday. Not knowing when Irma is precisely coming, ROL may or may not have been a go anyway. Also, Mike had zero interest in ROL, and was of course, just doing it for me. (I really don't deserve him.)

People must be cancelling Disney reservations like crazy (I know MCO is closing tomorrow for incoming flights). Anyway, I procured 7:00 ADR's at 'Ohana less than 48 hours out.

The plan is still to go to DAK for the afternoon, and now, I guess, the Poly for dinner.

Mike 100% plans on over-eating this time. Who know how many more of our ADR's we're going to lose in the following days?

I really want to post food from dinner pics, but we both over-ate so gluttonously that I might yack if I have to look at them.
Let's try some generic pics first.

Entering Epcot, we booked it straight to Mission:Space, eager to check out the new Green Mission.

That's 5 & 10; just like Woolworth's.

NOT Irma, but some storm.

Yay! We landed safely, despite the uselessness of our capsule-mates. I did my job. Mike did his. The other two, not so much.

After dinner, we were able to squeeze in a ride on 'Soarin just before it closed. Top row, middle section. Perfect.

Mike wants a whole driveway of these:

Goodnight Epicot. We'll be back in a few days.

Tomorrow is our DHS day, with dinner at Cape May. Yay, another all you care to eat buffet ... followed by 'Ohana.

Mike is 2 for 2 in the eating so much he feels sick category. Time to break that streak.
