Longers · Mar 7, 2018

I still haven’t seen coco either but it’s showing on our flight on Monday!
Hooray
See you in Disney, hopefully you saw Brittany’s comment about pencilling in a date?
I’m hoping you have this TR finished before I travel!

We (I) had a photoshoot on the MPB...

New avatar for the forums say whaaaa?!

Sure, you can intrude on my selfie taking

We got off at Storybook Circus since I hadn't been in Big Top Souvenirs yet, and we all know that's the best place to shop!! Except I didn't end up buying anything LOL. We kept putting off getting stuff since we were going to Disney Springs in the morning.

And then per @Courtney6682 's recommendation, we snagged one of these:

OH. MY. GOD.

Best snack EVER? It was soooooo yummy. All of you NEED to try it!!

And what's better than after a snack?? Dinner!!

Nothin' new here!

Then we headed towards the castle, but we took the back path through Tomorrowland, and by the tea cups they had an awesome photo opportunity!

Knee brace & all baby

We found a spot in the hub and watched Once Upon a Time. I still don't love it, but it's cute and nice to see!!
Then it was time once more....

ugh...

Up next: more MK!

Not yet I guess we’ll need to check nearer the time to see where Brittany is and approx times - what time will you be at Epcot as think she was thinking early afternoon.

I know your just trying to gate crash!
I could possibly be there all day now anyway! I’m happy to make anything work

Honestly I wasn't going to cry except I witnessed during the "You'll be in my heart" section, a Dad in front of me hugged his daughter and they swayed back and forth. I don't even want kids but this made me cry!! It was SO sweet. Crying as I type this too LOL

I dried my tears and we tried to get out of the hub.... the hub had other plans. It was CRAZY!!! Mk was open until 12am so a lot of regular day guests were going to stay since it wasn't EMH.

We sought refuge from the crowds at MILF :hilarious:

The most amazing thing ever happened - Daniel got picked for something!!!! HAHA!! It was for "Feels the Urge to get up and Dance" which is exactly what he DIDN'T want to get picked for!! I think it was Buddy Boil who was talking and he said "Hey buddy sit down you're embarrassing your girl!" SO TRUE :hilarious:

Then it was time for a little Buzz action!

No pics of our scores... they probably sucked LOL

Then we went to go do some people movin'!

I knew a lot of people were in MK (Nicole, Brittany, Kristi, Megan) but I didn't wanna infringe upon their plans so I thought maybe I'll see them around!! And I did!! LOL. When we were coming up to the PM, I saw @sheriffwoody and @blgauger coming down! I didn't wanna yell across the whole platform so I just let them go! I said to Daniel, "Hey! I know those girls! They're my friends!!" He was like, "From school?" I said, "No? The internet" :hilarious:

Then we headed over to say our final goodbyes to an old friend...

Such a great picture, Rebecca!! :banghead:

See ya soon, Redhead. Can't wait till we meet again

Up next: more MK!

Probably from opening to about 4pm (approx.)

MK Con't:

LOL, using the backpack as a shield because I didn't want to get wet :hilarious:

While we were waiting at the laugh floor, I snagged a FP for Space Mountain. I knew this was Daniel's favorite and I wanted him to be able to have one last ride, so I gave up my BTMRR one.

The FP line is always backed up :banghead:

He always looks so scared LOL

I noticed PP had FP I could grab, so we headed over there!

Then we walked through the castle one last time.

Took some final selfies..

And grabbed one last PP picture!

Up next: last bit of MK!

Finishing up Saturday, January 20th:

I stopped for ice cream (notice "I"... Daniel didn't want any until we got on the bus and so he stole some of mine....) and thought of you @Longers

And then we had one final night in our perfect room at Coronado Springs!

We still had one and a half days left of our vacation. It was so hard not to be excited about Beach Club and everything we were going to do, but I didn't wanna wish our trip away!! And then suddenly it was almost time to go home :banghead:

Up next: Disney Springs, Epcot, and a magical meetup!

Sunday, January 21st
We woke up and called Bell Services to take our bags so they could be transferred to Beach Club. They told us to leave them in the room and they would pick them up for us! Easy enough. We took our backpacks with us and had a change of clothes and our swim suits in case we wanted to swim.

Bye, room!
We actually went to the bus stop first but the next bus time kept changing so we were going to call and uber from the main bldg. So we went back to the room to grab our mugs!!

Pop in hand, we were ready to take on the day!

I have not been to this half of Disney Springs since they updated it - and WOW is it beautiful!!

We ended up going to Uniqlo, where we spent way too much money, World of Disney, the co-op, and Goofy's Candy Co.

Minnie was getting her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this day so they handed out super cute buttons!

Some v-day chocolate... I thought it was weird but Daniel liked it!

Originally I had made a reservation for Homecomin' but we ate way too many chicken tender baskets that neither of us were really in the mood anymore! So we tried a new place....

Up next: more Disney Springs!

becca_ · Mar 7, 2018

Sunday con't:

I got a simple pie ~ of course

Daniel got a build your own, which he loaded up with lots of toppings (chicken, meatballs, mushrooms, spinach, and red peppers)

So. Good. Omg. They just opened one near my college and so now Daniel and I live there! @Doc Disney and I joke that it's more likely for us to meet there than it is to meet at Disney!

We headed out and ended up taking the bus to Boardwalk and we walked over to Beach Club.

For Valentine's Day, Daniel ordered me a Beach Club Lobby candle :inlove:

Our room wasn't ready yet so we left our things with bell services and we headed to the pool!

It felt SO good to be able to swim in January!!

While we were there, I got this beauty of a text!

So we headed on up to our new room for the night.

It was BEAUTIFUL! And it didn't hurt that we had a full balcony with the most amazing view :joyfull:

I'm itching to be back at this resort - I just wish it wasn't so expensive... some of us work 8 hours a week you know :hilarious:

Next up: Epcot!

becca_ · Mar 7, 2018

Sunday con't:
We cleaned up, got changed, and unpacked our bags once we got them delivered. Soon we were off!

New uniqlo shirt & world of disney hat :joyfull:

I finally got to use this! :geek:

Our first task was to do the mural one last time.

Then we headed over to Soarin, where we had a FP!

3 cheers for the new concourse!! Woo!!
Once we had seen the world, we wanted to see the farm one last time!

Up next: more Epcot!

becca_ · Mar 7, 2018

Epcot con't:
I took way too many pictures so here ya go!

We headed over to the front of the park so we could get a picture with "the golf ball" in the background, plus Figment's topiary was out!

And... there was no PP photographer!! So we asked some random person to do it LOL

LOL didn't even notice Daniel was in this one.

One last FP for SSE!

My favorite lady

becca_ · Mar 7, 2018

More Epcot:
We were ready for some dinner, so we headed around the world!

Not too far, though. Tonight called for some good ol' fish and chips!

The CM working told us that his car actually broke down in Buffalo once! I was shocked, since no one ever visits Buffalo when they come to NY! LOL

Oh boy was this good.... We ate every last crumb! But apparently, that wasn't enough for us!

Holy cow.... I need this again!! SO GOOD!! It was at the funnel cake stand in America.

Grabbed a quick PP picture and headed back out and around again!

Can't go to mexico without riding this beaut!

Up next: more Epcot!

becca_ · Mar 7, 2018

Epcot con't:
We decided to do Test Track as single riders. We waited like 10 minutes and ended up in the same car!

#MeetMeAtTheTestTrackWall ??

We then waddled out to check Mouse Gear out!

Luckily for me, the Disney Gods were in my favor.
It took me a minute, but I kept thinking, "Isn't that Nicole?? The girl I stalk like 20 times a day?? THE Nicole from wdwmagic??" Sure enough, it was her! We talked a lot about our vacations and how her friend does not understand meeting strangers on the internet :hilarious:

Nicole is one of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever met. Her positive energy and love for Disney radiate off of her! I am so lucky to call her a friend! If you ever get the chance to meet her - you'll understand what I mean

@prfctlyximprct

We had to say goodbye and we ended up grabbing a FP for the Character Spot.

First up, Mickey! These interactions were all just a little.... off. I don't know... personally I don't really like meeting characters because I feel very awkward, but I figured we should since it was Daniel's first time here.
