Trip Report Makin' Memories....One More Time! *COMPLETED*

Makin' memories
Makin' memories
Takin' pictures is makin' memories
Catchin' little pieces of time
Makin' them yours and makin' them mine
Great vacations and celebrations we love to hold near and dear
And when we're makin' memories
Happy days can reappear!

@amjt660 it seemed a little presumptuous of me to include Three Peat in the title of this trip report. A more accurate term might be Repeat, considering this is my third TR in three months. I am fearful that my WDWMagic friends may be weary of me.

But for @Big Hair and anyone else who wants to follow along, Welcome! I truly love reliving our great (and not-so-great) vacation memories through writing these reports. As always, your comments and observations are much appreciated!

So c'mon everybody, here we go........

Cast: Tuvalu, Woody and Em
Dates: June 17-25, 2017
Resorts: Port Orleans Riverside and Polynesian Village ('cause let's be honest......you can take the girl out of the Poly, but you can't take the Poly out of the girl!)

(Does this picture make you woozy? It is an appropriate representation of my Pandora experience.)

Stick around to discover what memories we made!

Great posts on the Jungle Cruise. One of our favorites! We lucked out this time and got great skippers.

Super duper late to this one, but I'll try to catch up!! So completely not weary of your reports though! Please keep them coming!

 

[MegRuss626]

I'm here and finally caught up!! (That's what happens when Tuvalu starts a trip report the day I get induced!! )

 

[MeeskaMooska0714]

I've been away from these boards for way too long! I'm in!!!

A breeze was blowing which made our cruise very pleasant. Foreshadowing ~ summer breezes in FL have been known to bring rain.

We've arrived.

Before leaving our room we decided to have dinner in the Marketplace due to the convenience of the boat dock. I was about to try someplace new (though Woody and Em had dined there before.)

We placed our order at the counter and found a table in the dining room.

(@fractal Woody should have turned around and taken a picture of the empty room.....Shirley strikes again!)

Our sandwiches were tasty although mine was lacking in chicken.

From left to right: Chicken Aioli, Bacon-wrapped Meatloaf and Rotisserie Turkey Club

Servers bring out the food and also periodically stop by to offer drink refills and clear plates. If my sandwich had more chicken WPE would get two thumbs up. But I would definitely give it another try.

This is clearly wrong. I saw a documentary once where this guy named Olaf talked about how summer breezes BLOW AWAY storms, not predicate them. You can't argue with science, sorry.

I will never argue with someone who likes warm hugs.

Sunday, con't

After Jungle Cruise we found ourselves here.

Might as well go inside.....

Not gonna comment about the upcoming scene changes. Nope, not gonna do it.

 

[Tuvalu]

On our spring break vacation the three of us stayed at POFQ. We encountered some problems which I emailed the GM about and I was contacted by a CM (on behalf of the GM) about a month later. She offered a few bonus FPs to use on this trip. Em and I decided to use our bonus on Splash Mountain. We expected Woody would just wait for us as he doesn't like to get wet.

Instead this happened:
"I think I'll go ride Big Thunder with my bonus while you guys are on Splash Mountain."
Say what????
Woody, the man who considers all attractions optional and never feels obligated to use a FP, then uttered an even more unbelievable statement.
"I wouldn't want to waste a fastpass."
We have never known Woody to ride anything alone. And now, @Longers, he was going on BTMRR without us!
But since it was Father's Day, Em and I smiled and said, "Have fun!"

We went to find Br'er Rabbit.

Porky Pine always makes me smile!

There's that wascally wabbit! (Oops, wrong cartoon....)

It was during this point that Em nudged me. The man in front of us was taking a video of the ride....only he'd forgotten to push the record button.

Uh-oh.

Yup, the guy is still "recording".

We survived! Time to party!
