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!

Tuesday, December 3

Today was our last day and we decided to forgo early entry. Why?

* We’d been out late then stayed up even later talking to Woody.
* We wanted to sleep in (which only happened for one of us) and not be in a rush. (Like normal people on vacation. :hilarious:)
* We’d be returning to the same park for the third day in a row and had already done our “musts”.

We woke to the coldest morning of our trip. 37 degrees Fahrenheit! I’d like to blame @annienevells since Elsa followed them from Maine to Florida (hey, it’s in the title of her TR) but her plane didn’t land until afternoon. Maybe Elsa was actually leading the way….

So Em and I layered up again. It was cold walking to the bus depot in the shade.

We would be thankful for the sunshine in the hours ahead.

Tradition had us standing at the countdown sign on our final day of vacation in 2024.
