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....

Good wonderful morning from SSR. Another gorgeous morning, but the temp today is going to be the warmest of the week. We shall see.

Today we will do MK. We have fast passes for mine train, HM, and BTMRR. Then we will head to the Contemporary for our DVC dining package at the Wave and deserts at ToW lounge for fireworks. Should be fun!

I’m not much of a golfer, but having watched golf tournaments on TV, I think I know a bit of the rules. I’m on the balcony at our home when a golf ball landed in a slight depression close by. The golfer walked up to it, and then he used his club to roll the ball out of where it was and to a more favorable position a few inches away. That’s cheating, right?

This was on the fairway and not on the putting greens.

This was the 2nd time I’ve seen such transgression. Yesterday, I saw someone picked up the ball, wiped it, and then put it back down.

Maybe there’s a more lax set of rules for recreational golfers?

Finally got my food. Mobile ordering here is definitely not recommended if you want your food fast. We got ours more than 15 mins after we indicated in the app that we were here.

Food was very disappointing in quantity and quality. My salmon was considerably smaller than before, and the green beans was salty and overly greasy. A couple of years ago, we got a nice filet with steamed broccoli. That is long forgotten now.
