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 morning!

A late start to the morning today but we have good reason. We have no fastpasses planned for today, and we have no plans to go to any theme park today! Fancy that!

Today is the day we are just going to chill out, do some work (which I've been doing for the past hour or so), maybe do more shopping at eating off-site, and then we have a DVC preview of the Riviera later this afternoon at the DVC preview center.

It promises to be a warmer day today, but I'm not going to complain. We have had picture-perfect weather 2 days in a row so far, and after a raining Friday, the forecast is predicting even cooler and sunny days for the weekend, which is my kind of weather.

So today, we're going to be doing almost nothing. :)

The last time we were in Orlando last dec., we discovered this hidden gem for Moroccan food called Moroccan Breeze. I gave a glowing review of it. The food was outstanding!

Guess what? The shopping mall that we were at was only 10 mins away from this place, so here we are at Moroccan Breeze waiting for them to open and order our food! The lady at the counter was sorry that we have to wait and is making us Moroccan mint tea while we wait.

Really enjoying this trip report! Liking your touring style. And the offsite food you've recommended so far!

I will never recommend bad food.

There are plenty of hidden gems here in this touristy town if one cares to look carefully. This place is one such example. There are 2 other food vendors in the food court, and if you like Indian food, this is nirvana!

Still waiting for our food, because they are being made to order.

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 love the Grandstand.
