Trip Report One way or Another..........

It has been quite a few years since I've been to Disney for a full week. I've been there for a day here, two days there but I really missed a full week at Disney. When your first born says lets go to Disney, you make it happen. We just returned, and the best way for me to process getting back to regular life is to do a trip report, so here we go.

Me and Em
October 19-25th

Our flight was leaving at 7:00 am, and it made for a very early morning since we had a two hour drive to the airport. We got on the road at 3:30 and we landed at MCO around 9:30 am. We got an Uber, and Oster was great. He even slowed down so I could get this most coveted picture.

I let Em pick a lot of the details for this trip, one being the mistake of picking our resort. I was willing to pay for a moderate, but she really wanted to stay at POP. sigh~, what can I do..... She loves it

We requested the 60's or 70's building and got a room in the 70's. Our room was ready when we arrived around 10:30 am. Our room was on the first floor and faced an inner courtyard. Mostly quiet, except we could hear the room above us when they were getting ready in the morning or returning at night. They weren't rude or being overly loud. It's what you pay for I guess.

We unpacked and decided we'd rather hop on the skyliner and find lunch rather than go to Typhoon Lagoon. We got off at the Caribbean resort. Their Cuban sandwich wasn't too bad. I'd get it again. We then stopped at Riviera to see the murals in person and eat the "best" cookie at Disney.

I have to say, I didn't think the Riviera Signature cookie was the best cookie on property. I would give it a C.

Em has a fear of birds. This gets mentioned in all of my reports since there are birds everywhere at Disney. Luckily for her, this bird was quite a distance from us, but she made sure to point it out and comment about what it was doing. Then, to our horror, it snatched a little lizard for lunch.

Our early morning was catching up with us so we decided to go back to the room and take a break before heading to Disney Spring for the evening.

Hahaha. I really enjoyed CBJ. But... I've never been a country music fan. It's so depressing. :hilarious: Ok, maybe not all of it. Plus every high school party I went to it was either Hank Williams Jr. or AC/DC . I don't like them either. 😆


PP is a must do for us every trip. I'm not sure why, I'm sure it's nostalgia.

The ham croissant was delicious and quite inexpensive i thought.

No worries, and I totally get that, but much country music actually gives me hope…!!! :)

And yep, PP is a classic …!!! :geek:

The ham croissant sure looked delicious…!!!!! :hungry:

Also, as far as the country music goes, Carolyn and I will be married for 37 years next month, and the below song always gets us a bit misty, in a good way…!!!!! :inlove::happy:

My mom had a mad crush on Alan Jackson. He made a lot of great music. My sweetie and I (married 2 years before you) are most partial to "Livin' on Love". I get a kick out of " Gone Country".

I know the name, but I couldn't tell you any songs by Alan Jackson. Now, I can identify Randy Travis by voice. My mom seemed to really like him a lot.

Yep, both “Livin’ on Love” and “Gone Country” are great songs too, along with “Little Bitty” and “Chatahoochee”, as well as many others from AJ.
But, no matter, as George Strait will ALWAYS be Carolyn’s fave country music star…!!! :)
