Trip Report Shortest Retirement in History?

Justin Bieber lasted 2 weeks.

Tom Brady lasted 40 days.

I, Tuvalu, outlasted them both. Not by much, mind you. Yet if not for the encouragement of some forum friends - along with some unusual circumstances - you wouldn’t be reading this.

Unusual circumstances, you say?

Around Thanksgiving my beloved Woody learned his presence was required at a work conference. In Orlando. At Universal.
Just down the road from Walt Disney World.

Woody said I could accompany him if he drove (rather than flew) to Florida. And that we could leave a couple days early and have some Disney time together.

Well you don’t have to ask me twice!

I’d be on my own during the conference. Since the majority of Universal’s attractions don’t appeal to me, it didn’t make sense for me to buy Uni tickets when I could visit WDW for free with my AP. Being solo, I thought it might be fun to do a live trip report so y’all could be my virtual companions!

Turns out I won’t be alone while Woody is occupied after all. Some friends that you have seen in my previous TRs (and one you haven’t) have offered to play with me. I can’t wait!

Since my quoted items got eaten…

Re: Golden Minnies. I wonder if they painted the original ones? But I’d rather have the originals back.

Re: Re: Atlanta Snow. I’m a bit sad because 90% of the time when Atlanta gets snow, I get snow. And I’m very sad that I got zilch. Zero nada.

But I can still comment!

The thought that the golden Minnies are painted-over originals did cross my mind. If that’s true, a repainting is due! (Although I agree that might be difficult, @meggo819.)

Sorry you didn’t get snow. The snowfall was beautiful and I had to go outside and “listen” - everything was quiet except for the falling flakes. The snow changed to sleet mid morning so surfaces quickly iced.

Roads in our neighborhood are clear today (not plowed, just melted) but icy snow still covers roofs and yards, though the recent sun is quickly melting it all away!
