Trip Report Semi-live, Visiting w/ a Brazilian Tour Group of Cheerleaders celebrating Jersey Spring Break

Ok, hopefully the title of this report got your attention. Technically none of it is accurate. It was just shameless Disney TR click bait. But since you're here, you might as well follow along. Plus, I have embedded a computer code so if you try and leave it will instantly direct you to a non stop loop of the JG Wentworth theme song which will play in the background whenever your computer is on. If you leave, I hope you have a structured settlement but you need cash now.


Ok then, For those of you still here, allow me to present the details of this PTR.

Who: My wife and I

ck.jpg


Where: AKL

When: July

Why?: Basically, I want my wife to win the Tuvalu 500 (which is the race for most visits to WDW in 2018). @blgauger , you are excluded from this competition since you live like 2 minutes away from WDW and plus, you need to focus on riding BTMRR as many times as possible!! My wife has some stiff competition between @Tuvalu , @TrolleyFollower91 , @sheriffwoody , @lostpro9het , @imahistorygeek and several others. We are almost half way through 2018 and its a close race!

I encourage anybody reading this report to please post how many visits you have so far this year. Even if its just one or two, feel free to compete. And FYI, this a friendly competition and there is really no win or loose. But lets face it, we are all losers here, considering we spend so much time on an unofficial fan forum of WDW:D:cool::cool:. But we are the COOLEST losers ever!!!

Aside from it being my wifes 5th trip this year, I am very much looking forward to returning to AKL. Even though I stayed there last summer for a few nights with my family, its been a few years since C and I have stayed there together. And now that we are official DVC Members, I constantly check availability and the other day I saw a few days open at AKL (Jambo) so I snagged it. It just so happened to be the morning that C and her mom were heading home from their recent Disney trip (this past Friday), so when I called to let her know, it definitely perked her up. She is not a fan of the Fla humidity in Summer but she is willing to deal with it for me. We will just try and avoid the extreme heat in the afternoons. No ADR's planned yet but Ill keep this updated as we get closer.

Have a great day everybody!

I bet I'm not the only one wondering - where's the phone?

Seriously though, looks like a blast!
After sci Fi yesterday I had some business calls to attend to. I decided to take them in my super stretch...

Afterwards we headed over to Epcot to meet up with my sister and her boys. They brought some friends with them so we had a pretty large group.

We designed cars in TT and as we got towards the loading area lightning and thunder started so they halted the ride. We waited about 20 minutes and got out of line but they issued return passes. We hit a few rides for EMH and the headed back to the room. I'll have more details in the final TR.

Love C Minor's reaction to the phone.

My stomach issues we're in full force last night. I got about 30 minute intervals of sleep before my stomach would decide to cramp on both sides. Severe cramps to. It was a rough night.

Still no coffee but I can have vitamin water and a banana.

I watched a CAM chase an Ostrich around to give it some type of hay. It was odd but funny. That bird was not playing around.

Off to MK, updates later. Have a great day!

It was a hot morning at MK but crowds were decent and we were excited to be there. First, C and C Minor had to use the restroom. While I waited, I sat outside Town Hall and noticed the chipped paint on the railings and columns. If you enlarge the photo you can see the base of the columns and how bad they look.

It was like this in several areas and it appeared to have been that way for some time. It seems like an easy fix to simply scuff them and have it painted and keep the area looking nice. If I can single handedly sand and re stain my entire staircase in a day, there is no reason Disney couldn't have it done over night. But I digress.




Hello from MSUSA!

The girls were in good spirits and we were ready for some magic.

We had some lunch at Pecos Bills then rode Barnstormer 2.0. The girls really enjoy @Longers status and it is becoming a must do.

Cheers from the 5th floor at Jambo

There is currently a stunning view of the Savana with rays of sunshine bursting through the clouds... unfortunately every picture I take is backlit and I do not have the camera equipment nor skill level to capture said stunningness. Where is @fractal or @sheriffwoody when you need em?!!!

So i offer a photo of my beer from angle that allows for it to not be covered by shadow. And FWIW to any of the beer snobs here (you know who you are), this is not a good beer, IMO. Especially not for the price. 3 Daughters Bimini Twist IPA. Extremely heavy on whatever overly intense flavor I get from it. and the can says "hint of citrus" but it tastes like a Killians that has baked in the sun.

But the view is nice and the girls are getting ready so we can head to Epcot and then over to MK for EMH.

Sorry to hear you still have that stomach bug. You certainly don't need that on vacation.

Oh a happier note, I was glad to see you on THE PHONE :hilarious: conducting business. ( I really think you need to try the reception on Slinky Dog, too, though. )
