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. :arghh:

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. :D

Who's ready for Summer #2?

Bathing load 145 persons? Maybe if those 145 persons didn't actually want to be able to swim more than 6 inches in any direction...

Agree ~ I wonder how pool capacity is figured out? :confused:

Lunchtime!

The “grill” part of Geyser Point Bar and Grill is actually a walk-up quick service place.

You place your order at the counter and are given a number to put on your table. A server brings your made-to-order food to you. We later discovered that a server roams the pool area and we could have ordered (and eaten) in our lounge chairs. But it was better that we had left the pool for lunch, if only to prove to ourselves we weren’t total slugs!

The burgers were huge and Em and I could have easily shared one. The one pictured below is a bison burger. Since bison is leaner than beef it doesn’t have the “greasy feel” of regular burgers, yet the meat is still tender and flavorful. The applewood smoked bacon was a nice touch but the bison held its own without it. The waffle fries were crisp and covered in seasoned salt. I am usually not a fan of waffle fries but these were quite good.

We liked the open-air seating and ceiling fans provided a slight breeze. We chatted with some folks beside us who were enjoying drinks from the bar. After they left we got to witness a mini-meltdown of a young adult female who “forgot” her ID and had to drink her frozen beverage sans alcohol. She made sure everyone within earshot knew how “stupid” that was. :rolleyes:

We pitched the remainder of our lunch into the trash and returned to our beloved pool shelf. Warm sun + cool water = bliss. As I mentioned earlier, we could have lingered there for the rest of the afternoon. I kept doing the mental math of how long Em and I could stay before returning to the room for showers and catching the bus in time for our FP. We remained until the last possible moment.

Passing these lovely falls certainly made the walk back pleasant!

Classy.

I concur with your opinion of the waffle fries--I thought they were delish. I had them aside my Crab Cake sandwich (which was also awesome), accompanied by a Rogue Dead Guy Ale. I was amused by the name of it, and it turned out to be quite good. :cool:
