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!!

Em wouldn't do it because @Tuvalu asked a random child enjoying some in her stroller if she could have a piece

@Doc Disney apparently Disney is an ok place to eat food from strangers!

 

[Tuvalu]

This made my day!!!

For the record it was grape.

And if I never have it again in my lifetime that will be fine by me!

 

[Tuvalu]

No "Standby" guests allowed inside the Hollywood Tower Hotel today.

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

(No pressure, Amy!)

Thanks for sharing. I missed those guys. Their place out front looks so empty with them gone, and they were gone for awhile, but this seems like a good place for them.

 

[epcotisbest]

I remain bitter about them getting rid of my favorite spot in all of WDW, Hidden Springs Pool, but this new swimmin' hole looks nice. I will reserve judgement until I am lounging there poolside, and make up my mind then. It is only fair to at least give the new place a chance.

It's garbage, but I love dryer lint! (Didn't you ever have cotton candy as a kid? I used to like all the crazy colors, like blue. )

Oh! I hope you like it. I just checked out some of Art Smith's cookbooks from the library the other day. Many of the restaurants recipes are in the book, so tempting to make a Homecomin' feast at home. Looking forward to your impressions.

And I can't believe you asked some child to share their cotton candy!? I wondered about the picture of you with the bag, I was wondering if you just opened a bag and snuck out a little piece.

It is not hot nor humid. Very atypical for July.

That's because it's all here in NC

 

[epcotisbest]

@Tuvalu @TrolleyFollower91 We got to be WL flag family one time. The view from the top is amazing.

 

[epcotisbest]

Well, not all of it. Some of it is here in GA too.

 

[LadyBelle]

Well, not all of it. Some of it is here in GA too.

We had a heat index between 112-116 yesterday. Needless to say I stayed in the A/C!

 

[mcstensrud]

Right now here in New England it's 56 and Raining! Heat index What's that?
Can't wait the get the lo down on Art Smith's.

Tuvalu: 1
Dryer lint: 0

Thanks for the scorekeeping idea @amjt660

Glad I could help (?)

[Tuvalu]

Mr. Ghirardelli brought us 4 spoons but just the two of us polished off this little beauty ~

Ok let me get this straight
Tuvalu did not buy the dryer lint
She "asked" to have some from another guest without compensation

She literally is stealing candy from a baby??

@becca_ Maybe the score is actually

Tuvalu 1
Florida Criminal Justice System 0

Stay tuned
