Trip Report The ONE© that was ONE (day.)April 2021 *Complete

Hello friends and lurkers.

For those who don’t know me, and as a refresher for those who do, hi. I am Darstarr. A California native now living on Long Island and p*ssed off about it😂

My last trip was for my birthday in March but I did not do a proper TR for that. If I had, it would have been called The ONE where I find all the glitches. Or The ONE where I change my name to Venelope. Yeah, I like that one.
There are some random photos and drunken @wdisney9000 posts from the March trip in my February TR. If you haven't read that one I suggest you skip to the end. That’s when it really gets good😂🍻🥂🍹🍾

So why am I going for one day? Well, because I want to? I can? I need new flatware?
All of the above.

Again, some of you know, my oldest son goes to school and plays lacrosse in southern Florida. His season usually starts in February. But it didnt. By my birthday trip in March they were getting ready to start but his conference would not allow spectators.

I know. Makes no sense right? An outdoor sport in Florida!!! We were allowed to go to our other two boys football games here in New York. Up is down, down is up.

Wednesday I am driving home from work and my husband calls me:
“Did you check your email?”
“Dude” (yes I say dude, Californian remember?) “I am driving”.
Him: “They are allowing two spectators per player starting Saturday.”
Me: “Book flights I am on my way home!!!”
My husband, now known as Tone thanks to 9000 and his lovely wife, C, is staying on Florida for work. (And he will go to Wednesdays game as long as he is still around😉).

When I was shopping in HWS on my last day back in March I found some really cute flatware with Mickey’s on them. I wanted to buy a set or three but did not think I could get them home in my carry on. Remember my friend R, the shopper? (From my Poly trip in Sept with the shower that spit 🔥) R found me a set at a Disney store here on the Island. Said store checked all other LI stores and there are no more to be had. So I suggested to Tone that we drive up to WDW and I can get two more sets. And while we are there we will hit up Epcot. Then, I can leave from MCO. Easy peasy.

We booked our flights after dinner on Wednesday. Then I looked at DVC availability. Tone suggested OKW so I booked it.
I could not sleep all night. I had buyers remorse. I did not want to stay at OKW. OKW is a lovely resort but it is not a one night kinda place. I wanted Boardwalk and I had seen a one BR when I was searching. We didn’t need a one BR but that was ok. In the morning I checked DVC and it was gone.

But there was a one BR at Beach Club so I booked that!
Yay!!!

(Disclaimer: I checked to make sure there was park pass availability before booking a room.)

I will try and report live. Since it is only a one day trip to WDW I won’t drag it out😂

If anything peculiar or funny or interesting or delicious happens before we get to wdw I will share because I am good like that😎

Lastly, there are going to be quite a few Magicians around wdw this weekend. If you see me please please please say hello!!!

Thanks for the one day report. I feel your pain. We don't have a trip planned anytime soon either. :( I will be living vicariously through others trip reports.
I will probably sneak something in but my calendar is pretty full.

Haha.
Thanks for reading.
(btw, totally not popular! It’s work. And the kids. Kids and work are filling up my calendar.)

OMG - ❤️ the flatware. I now need it too 😉

Thanks for sharing all your fun with us 😊
My friend M was with The Tone in Florida for my son’s game last night (yay! they won!) so R, the shopper worked for him. Yesterday she called and put the flatware on hold and the CM told her they only hold for 24 hours so to call back today and put it on hold again. We called and called all day and no one at the Times Square store answered. Not once. And we let it ring a bajillion times. (Not very magical!)
Fingers crossed that if they are too lazy to answer their phone they were too lazy to put the flatware back on the sales floor🤞

I hope they have it for you! I love this flatware so much and it’s held up for us so well so far! Just a heads up - I found the serving set on Amazon reasonably priced. They have the flatware as well, but the price is ridiculously high. Fingers crossed you were able to get it!

I'm glad you have hopefully got your flatware!

Thank you for sharing your trip with us and I will look forward to the next one whenever that may be. In the meantime enjoy your trip to Boca!
Thank you for reading! My next trip is for senior night which X may or may not be recognized for so I better be there just in case. It is his fourth year so that would be a senior but he “graduated” last year, without a ceremony obviously, so did the ship sail on the senior night thing? He is in grad school so will they wait until he finishes that???? 🤷‍♀️
You educate us so well @Darstarr!
If only my children agreed with you @Laurenciaa !

I am pretty sure I heard/read somewhere that the pizza window does not serve the same pizza as the restaurant, which is really weird and makes no sense. But the stuff we had at the restaurant was always the thinner crust and was fantastic. Granted, I'm originally from Wyoming and now live in the Netherlands, neither of which are known for their Italian cuisine or their pizza. In fact, what passes for pizza in the Netherlands is really not great...I miss the stuff from Wyoming, which I bet has NOTHING on pizza where you are! So my bar for pizza is set pretty low. But Via Napoli is a must-do for us because it's SO much better than anything we've gotten here. But it seems to be a love it or hate it kind of thing.
Finding good pizza is difficult. Even when there is a pizzeria on every corner! We have to go to one place for the regular, another for the Grandma pie and one kid will only eat the bbq slice from Joe’s and I prefer the buffalo slice from Francescos which is good because Tone likes their tuna tartar pizzette...
It just isn't worth it sometimes.

Thanks! I actually think I may put it away for a couple years. I know that sounds ludicrous but my utensils keep disappearing. I think the kids are eating the stuff! First all the teaspoons disappeared. So I bought some new ones. Then the forks started to go missing so I bought some of those. Now I am down to two tablespoons!! I have a drawer full of mismatched utensils from target and homegoods and even the dollar store😁No way am I letting the good Mickey stuff dissappear. I will wait until the kids are gone for good! This will be my retirement flatware.

That is way too nice of you!!!
Hopefully it won’t be necessary and R the shopper will get it done for me today.
