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.

Glad you made it though and got some sleep. The damage doesn't look like it will take long to clean up at all. I'm curious to see how long it takes for the flooding you posted a picture of to recede.
We walked by on the way to check out the car. I thought I'd taken a pic, but my photo roll says no. We're headed back to the room shortly. I'll take one then.

Moments after I took this pic, a CM arrived with dessert plates. This is the dessert/snack station, so it looks like German chocolate cake and his friends will be back soon.

Does Mike know about this?!?

I forgot to mention this the other day - with losing two ADR's and paying OOP for n'Ohana, we are now left with extra TS credits. I ended up picking up Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch on Wednesday. (Hello Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake, you beautiful thing you!), and a lunch ADR minutes ago for Sci Fi on Friday. That will just be for shakes though. I saw on FB that the new flavour is Cake Batter. Yummmmmm.
Cake batter/birthday cake is the best flavor of all time.

This has been an incredibly thoughtful, detailed, and eye opening account of what it's like to be at WDW during a hurricane.

I'm sure I speak for many on here in thanking you for such a seriously vivid report that it really puts your readers right there with you.

Sorry you were in lockdown for a bit, but without a doubt, you now have unique memories and stories to tell for the rest of your life.

Have an amazing rest of your trip! :)
