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!!!

I’ve never caught a home run ball or foul ball with my food before...!!!!! :hilarious:
Actually, I’ve only ever caught foul balls, and those were with my outfielders mitt.
Years ago, DWifey worked in daycare. One of the kiddos (I know some don’t like that word, but, I’ve used if for years ;)) she had for a coupla’ years had a mom that worked at a local radio station. She gave DWifey complimentary tickets to every Sunday home game of the Round Rock Express, a local triple-A team affiliated with the Texas Rangers (also the Houston Astros in the past), and also named for Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, nicknamed “The Ryan Express”.
We always had seats about 6 rows up, down the first base line, about a third of the way between first base and the wall.
Anyhoo...
During those two seasons, I caught at least 8 foul balls. I gave 2 each to our 3 kiddos, and kept 2 for DWifey and myself. The stands were never nearly full at those Sunday games, so I was also able to move to go get ‘em too...good times...!!!!! :hilarious:

Edit: (To @donaldtoo I forgot to insert the quote of you talking about your iphone 12. I was just so excited!)

Yesterday I had a JV football game followed by a varsity game. Then my son’s lax game started streaming live around half time of the FB game. Tone, with his 8 was freaking out that he was on 10%. Meanwhile I was on 90😂
Gotta love the 12. It is a Disney park goers dream machine!

And we just might have to have a little Disney North meet up! I know I'm going to leave out a bunch of Pittsburgh Magicians because my memory of who is a Yinzer isn't so hot, but, @riverside @littleroo @plaz10 @MegRuss626 (and anyone else who cares to join us) would love to see you come visit.
We'll take you to eat at Primanti's, ride the incline and cheer for our Steelers!! Oh, and can't forget the pierogies! 🤣

I’m in! Oddly enough, I have lived in this area most of my life and have never been on the incline 🤷🏻‍♀️
You lost me at Steelers, sorry. But the rest sounds lovely!!!

I‘ll stay for the Steelers but you lose me at the pierogies 👎🏻

There are five now (but won’t be for long😞)
Awww!!! 🥰Beautiful! Why not for long though? 😣
I take pictures for @DisneyGigi when I go running or walking down by the lake. These are from this week:

Surprisingly, I did not see any babies.
Beautiful!! That beige orange head is beautiful. ❤️

The predators pick them off one by one. Last year they started with 5. Two made it to be big like their parents but only one was around late winter/early spring before the parents chased it off. 🤞
😭😣 Fingers double crossed! The turkey that has been here so long has been through so many babies. The males stay with her, until older and she runs them off. I understand why but I feel so sorry for her being lonely all the time. Her babies from last spring, are still with her (girls) makes me so happy that she isn’t alone. I love nature and hate it all in the same. 😩😂
