Trip Report No Sounds Like Summer? We'll JOURNEY Anyway! *COMPLETED*

It was this week last summer that @TrolleyFollower91 and I had an epic girls trip to WDW.

http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/...e-july-journey-completed.917246/#post-7369605

On our first day we rocked to the music of DSB ~ the ultimate Journey tribute band ~ at the America Gardens Theater in Epcot. It was an event we'll always remember. DSB was the final band in the annual "Sounds Like Summer" concert series. The lead singer said the band was looking forward to returning next summer.

And here we are.....it's "next summer."

But there has been no "Sounds Like Summer" concert series in 2017.
No DSB.

Don't. Stop. Believin'.

Em and I refuse to go our Separate Ways. We have too much fun together. We have one last chance to do WDW together before school starts and by golly we're gonna do it....even without DSB.

Want to tag along?

Attempting a full-fledged LIVE trip report is daunting and difficult, so I decided to follow @TheMouseFan's lead and be LIVE-ish. Real time pics and updates to be expanded on after my return home.

Oh, and I will finish my currently-in-progress trip report.

Who's ready for Summer #2?

We are!!

I think the next time I go, I'm going to mention your name, @Tuvalu, so that I may get the special Shirley treatment..

I am going to use the line "Tuvalu sent me" in a couple of weeks to see if I can get some of that extra "Magic".

Hopefully it will work out better for you guys than it did for Seinfeld's George Costanza when he name-dropped "Kramer" in order to get a deal on a pair of glasses!

I like Em's hat.

You're too funny! Did you like our matching Minnie shirts? (Better photo to come.)

 

[Tuvalu]

Looking forward to the full report.

Enjoyed your tr and I'm looking forward to the full report.

Thanks for following. Full report to come after I finish this one ~

Whichever Disney park you decide, there MUST be a TR!!

No doubt.

Oh, of course I liked the Minnie shirts--I figured that was just a "given" that those had my highest approval rating!

Once again, it was truly a pleasure meeting you and Em.

Great report and jealously looking forward to the next!

This was a really fun read! Thank you for taking us along with you on your adventures! Can't wait to read the unabridged version and find out how you boarded the pirate vessel!!

This must be the place...17 pages...starting at 1.

Caught up in record time!

Based solely on @ajrwdwgirl's photos and recommendation, we are having dinner here.

So many people have raved about it that I have added it to my wish list for our next trip, whenever that is. It sounds soooo good.

Love this! Are you back to school already or just setting up? Our first day with kiddos is August 16. Your Tsum Tsums have inspired me and I am going to introduce them to my class this year.

Mine made their way to my classroom yesterday! I'll have to take pictures of their current home.. I was pretty proud of myself. Be sure to share any new bright ideas you come up with for using them! I'm anxious to let my littles enjoy them one way or another!

Sorry for my absence. We have been camping every week for 5 days with no wifi.

My fridge magnet says it all ~

I need that magnet! It would look great next to my one that says " a princess never cooks"!

Wow school starts early there. My daughter doesn't start until September 7th.

I feel the exact same way. My daughter and I went to a mother/daughter Girl Scouts camp and that was one night in an air conditioned cabin and I barely survived!
