Trip Report The “No Trip” Trip Report *COMPLETED*

There are pre-trip reports.

There are trip reports.

I’d like to welcome you to what I believe might be the first “No Trip” trip report.

My name is Tuvalu. Ok, that’s not my real name (it’s not “Shirley” either 😉) but it’s how I’m known here on WDWMagic. For the past six years I have contributed a lot of trip reports in this forum. A lot! Along the way I have met so many wonderful people and made new friends, some of whom I have had the privilege of meeting in person. Honestly the reason why I write is for you, the reader, because I cherish our interactions. (Getting to re-live my trip is just a bonus!)

My husband Woody, my daughter Em and I were supposed to be leaving for our Spring Break trip to WDW tomorrow. Of course we are sad we cannot go (and our doing our part to keep ourselves and others safe) but remain confident we WILL get to go back sometime in the future.

I had been contemplating going “live” for our trip. Woody and Em are not fans of my reporting “live” since my attention is diverted from enjoying vacation with them. However this idea for a “No Trip” trip report came straight from Woody himself!

So for the next week, if you‘d like to Journey into My Imagination and read about what could have been, I’ll be here.

Something to look forward to! I just can't cancel my trip yet. May 5 - 12. Beach Club. Hoping for a miracle. Reading everyone's trip reports, real or not, keeps me sane. Thanks for bringing a little magic at a much needed time.
Perhaps you can move it? Our May dates were similar and we moved our trip to August.
Hope I can help cheer you up!

Seeing this lovely sight is worth an 8 hour car ride.

And our room is ready! (Hey, this is my fantasy after all.)

Where are those refurbished rooms that the CM promised two years ago? Oh yeah.....budget cuts. I probably shouldn’t be complaining since I’m sure I’ll hate the new generic, no-theme rooms whenever they arrive. Also I am one of those weirdos that prefers carpet over laminate in my hotel room. (Now if the laminate is actually swept and mopped daily, I might have a different opinion. 😉)

No standard view rooms were available when I booked this night (thus no HEA from our balcony tonight). Courtyard view only.

Not a bad trade-off.

Even though that’s not our favorite WL pool, it still looks pretty inviting, doesn’t it? Well no time for swimming now. We have Fastpasses to make and dinner at one of our favorite quick service restaurants.

Wanna guess where we are going?

Joining in, what a great idea to do A virtual trip, we had a 3/23-3/30 trip I had to cancel. We had been in January for 10 nights and so glad we had that one.
We are rebooked for August , hope that one works out!:)
