Trip Report Spring Trip To WDW

Hello Friends,

We are about 24 hours away from flying off to be at the Most Magical Place on Earth.

This was an unplanned trip. After our last WDW trip this past December, we were planning on doing a Disney Eastern Caribbean Cruise in October, and then do our annual trip to WDW in early December. But real life (i.e. work) schedule got in the way and we had to cancel both of them. So in early January, when we realized that we had to cancel those trip, but found that we had a week of free time in April, we made our last-minute plan to go. So here we are!

Unlike our past trips, it won't be a big group going from the Chicagoland area. It will be just the two of us this time, and we are planning on a quiet, relaxing trip, mainly because we both will have some work to do during our vacation. Oh, don't get us wrong, we will still have fastpasses to go on Mine Train, Flight of Passage (twice), Slinky Dog, etc... etc. It is just that I've also planned on a couple of days with no fast passes, no reservations, and just chill out.

On this trip, we have plans to do a DVC Dining Package at The Wave (followed by drinks and desserts at Top of the World Lounge), and we also have accepted the DVC invitation to their reception to look at the Riviera Resort. So we will have at least those to do.

Donald, as always, is already set to go. He did give me a dirty look when I put him on top of the pile in my suitcase. It was him telling me that he's not going into the suitcase. He always travels in my carry-on, and he won't have it any other way.

As always, whenever I have the chance, I'll try to report live from where ever I will be. And now, I only need to survive just one more day at work....

We are back at SSR after doing some food shopping at a Winn Dixie. We have water and stuff for breakfast for the next several days, so we are all set.

We are turning in early today, since we've had a very long day of being awake already. Tomorrow, we do Epcot, but our first fastpass is not till after 2:00 pm. So we are going to be lazy in the morning and do almost nothing.

A glorious morning here. I had a chance to look a bit more around our home and saw that the area butts against the treehouse villas. So we have a pond, a golf course, and treehouse villas around house. It was oh-so-quiet last night.

We are having breakfast and making a lazy start to the day. Our first fast pass isn’t till 1:25 pm. So no hurry.

OK, this might sound bizarre, but your view looks like a spot in Northern Wisconsin we go to in summer. Another great thing about Disney - you can move from one spot to the next to have a completely different experience.

I definitely get that. This is our first time staying in the Grandstand area of SSR, and we are loving it. It is very quiet, and the only background noise is the sound of the water fountain, and sometime the sound of a golf club hitting a ball. That's it!

I stayed in the treehouses in feb and agree that the grandstand area is cool. Quiet and serene (I know, they are the same thing).
I am here as well, at the Poly. Great weather today right!!!!?
