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!!!!

The parks nowadays are either
1. Crowded
or
2. Insanely Crowded

The perfect description!

I regret not going to the Candlelight Processional last year - Matt Bomer was the narrator.

Does this Eiffel Tower look bent to you?

It does to me.
Woody said no.
I’m thinking perhaps Soarin’ isn’t so off base after all.

Not from my balcony!

I'm late to the fun, but want to follow along! Now to go back and catch up on the 8 pages I've missed.

Finishing up today......

Woody and I had a quick service lunch in one of the countries (you’ll have to guess which one) and completed the full loop around the lagoon. Woody noticed this curious sight:

Does anyone know what these barges are for?

I wanted our picture by the tree, but there were always tree-hoggers (not to be confused with tree-huggers) in the way. And the Photopass line was super long.

We browsed MouseGear and caught some of Joyful’s gospel performance before returning to WL. Our room had been serviced (yay) but there was an even bigger annoyance in store for us.

Suffice it to say we are changing rooms tomorrow. Full story will be in “Part Tu.”

We spent the evening at Disney Springs. The tree is very pretty and sparkly.

Picture does not do it justice.

We were back in our room in time to watch Holiday Wishes.

We really appreciated seeing the show’s perimeter fireworks from outside the park. You get a much better view.
Perhaps it wasn’t so bad we missed them during MVMCP.

I believe they are using the barges as a temporary 'bridge' to help construct the Skyliner.

@Tuvalu I’m way far back from the start line on this TR, but I have to say, I’ve finally had chick fil-a! Business trip to Dallas area this whole week. Was “forced” to have the original sandwich for lucnh one day (it was good—not mind-blowing tho) and today at DFW grabbed a southwest chicken salad that was totally amazing.

Uh-oh.

Hi - I guess you are touring again? Still waiting for you to get back to Disney!

 

[Longers]

Oh no - drama with the room..... hope you get it sorted and still get a room with a view.

 

[MinnieM123]

What would a @Tuvalu TR be without some drama?!

No Disney trips planned. Next big adventure will be July 22-Aug 3, 2019 (Prague, Vienna, and Budapest with day trips to Dresden and Bratislava). No kids. It will be our 20th anniversary. May travel to WDW after our son graduates in 2 years. It was such a big part of them growing up. Would be nice to get back there then. I get my Disney fix on here, though.

It’s a slow addiction.... And honestly, CFA customer service plays a big role too.

I have a feeling we’ll be looking at trees and not at Cindy’s castle....

Dull.

It's Chick-fil-a Friday!!!!!!!!! Stopping on my way to work!

All caught up and eagerly awaiting more! Thanks for feeding my Disney withdrawal!
