Trip Report The Holiday Humdinger *COMPLETED*

I can't believe the Summer of @Tuvalu is over! Is there going to be a holiday humdinger trip report?!!

I couldn’t disappoint a very expectant mama-to-be, now could I? Especially one who was kind enough to provide the title for this trip report!

So here you go, @krisri18......and anyone else who’d like to follow along on yet another Tuvalu WDW adventure, HOLIDAY STYLE.

I plan on posting live updates and will write an expanded report (“Part Tu” @Tony the Tigger ) once I return home. After all, what else will I have to do in December?

Who: Tuvalu and Woody

When: November 27 - December 3, 2018
Where: I shouldn’t even have to tell you. My go-to.

So be on the lookout for us, @DisneyShe, @slipperalwaysfits @mcstensrud. We’ve packed our sweaters and jeans for the chilly weekdays (highs only near 60, lows in the 40s ~ WTH??) and our shorts and tees for the unseasonably warm weekend (highs in the 80s). Yeah, that 30 degree temperature swing isn’t going to help the colds Woody and I are starting with.....

But we’re going to DISNEY WORLD!!!!

 

[Tuvalu]

We are two floors beneath the exact room we had in June....

....which means fireworks potential!

(Go ahead with your punchline, @amjt660.)

Hey! I'm here! Wish I was there...

 

[Tuvalu]

The snow and ice up here in Pittsburgh is no joke right now And I’ll take your 32 degrees....we’re at 28 but feels like 18!! Brrrrrr!!

All joking aside, that’s awful! I’ll try not to complain about the cold anymore.

Almost there!! Have fun! I’ll be following along.

Your trip’s getting close now too!

I'm glad I decided to sit down and read your report right now. Julia is flying home from Atlanta today and after reading your report, I checked the airline and sure enough, she is already on a 30 minute delay.

Bummer! What was Julia doing in our fair city?

@amjt660 Stop picking on @Tuvalu about the weather!

At least it won’t be as cold as it was at the beginning of the year... I would have had warmer temperatures had I stayed in Switzerland than I had at WDW!

Thanks for getting my back, @Swissmiss. That Max can sure be a bully!

Yay! Holiday TRs are the best-can’t wait to see all the beautiful decorations at the parks and resorts!

I’ll do my best with pics!

I am so very happy right now!!!!!!!! You have to put a pretty picture up for my birthday on Sat since you are down there please!ps hope the colds stay away!

Will do! (And Zicam is our friend right now.)

Join @krisri18 in the moms-in-waiting room.

We’re supposed to be in the air now. However our plane was coming from Pittsburgh and needed to be de-iced, which is causing our delay.

I had a 10 minute delay this morning getting to work--I had to fight to get my car doors open b/c of the ice on them!!

I agree totally--it's pretty darn cold here today!! And I'm getting ready to head out for my afternoon walk

 

[Tuvalu]

Still outside the gate but the moment of truth is coming.

Will my MagicBand turn Mickey’s head green?
Or am I doomed to spend hours at Guest Relations again? (For the record my new band did not unlock our room door. Woody’s did.)

BLUE!!!

Another CM was summoned over to “help.”

Of course he was unable to figure out what is going on. So now we are here.

Boo!! On a side note, I love that Woody photo documented the ordeal so you could add to your trip report!

 

[Swissmiss]

The expressions on the 2 CMs does not bode well...

 

[Longers]

Missed you by 7 days!

I think I know what’s coming after that magic band gets sorted!

Can't like that one...sorry. I hope they were a little more expedient than last time.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to (snort) laugh (drinking milk) at your misfortune . . .

But what is it with you and the non-Magic bands?! You're their number one customer--surely, they could grant some Shirley status and fix this ongoing issue, for once and for all, for a VIP guest?!

 

[amjt660]

Sorry
