Trip Report THE ONE WHERE THE FRIENDS GO TO DISNEY; ALMOST LIVE IN APRIL.

Day one sort of/ April 1

Why “almost live”? To give myself the loophole if I can not handle it

Truth be told, I am sitting in the airport now. It’s 5:30 and I have a 6:10 am flight to FLL. If you have “traveled” with me before you know I multi task when I am down in Florida. My son has a lacrosse game tonight. I will head up to Disney tomorrow.

Who is going on this trip? My friend K and I. We met when our oldest were in the same first grade class. We were the class moms and became fast friends. (So did the boys) She divorced some years later and moved to the north shore. (I am on the south shore). We do not see each other as often as we want but we see each other when we can.
She had a birthday in December and asked if I wanted to go to the city for the weekend. Lets see...NYC in December? NO THANK YOU! I countered with Florida in April. We took our youngest to WDW last April and had a great time

See Dre’s happy face in the back? Told you we had a great time!!!

She is a ton of fun! We will be taking it easy and enjoying the resort more than normal. She is not a huge ride/parks person but will do it for me and for the adventure.

Ok. Time to board. B8. Not too bad.

Woohoo! Count me in and have a great time! But a few things:

1. I'm jealous!
2. You trust people from the North Shore? (jk, sort of lol)
3. You don't like bagels?? My wife and I have the constant debate of who does bagels better - NJ or NY/LI. One thing for sure - down here in Virginia definitely does not do them well!

I am a California girl dont forget. I just dont get the whole bagel thing. No nutritional value. Zero. Zip.
As for the North Shore, I make an exception for this friend. We met on the South Shore so in her heart that is what she is.

I had a nice time relaxing by the pool. My son ditched me. We were going to have lunch when his classes finished but he had to go with two of his team mates. It seems they have been going to the same place and getting the same thing and they are on a five game winning streak. How can I mess with that?
Anyhow, heading to the game now. No tailgate for me. I am driving

Wow another report! FUN!

 

[Darstarr]

Wow another report! FUN!

Fun
In
The
Sun

 

[Darstarr]

Nothing exciting going on. I went to my son’s game last night. Speaking of sun

Can you see the field? No. Us either for the first half.

Also, there was this

Every 4 minutes or so. And that is 95 right there. What a crap location for a field!!!

But there was also this

Palm trees

Loving all the sun. I’ll gladly take any extra that you can spare.

Woke up to this:

Ugh. Snow. (That’s not the S word I said though)

I landed about 9:30 but ugggh! No cell service even though I was connected to wifi. I wish I could say it was an uneventful flight but in the middle of drink service one of the flight attendants runs to the back of the plane. Runs! Full speed! Then she gets on the loud speaker and asks for a doctor or nurse. I got that pit in my stomach and put the bagel away I had just unwrapped. (I dont like bagels anyway so no biggie). It was quite some time but everything returned to normal. It seems as though a man had a seizure and his wife completely freaked out. But he was fine. They didnt land early. They didnt even make us wait for him to deplane first.

I got off the plane in FLL and saw this

Doesnt that make you want to drink???

Got my rental car and just pulled into my hotel in Boca. I will see if my room is ready. If not I will find something to do.
It’s 80. The rain hasnt figured out I left Long Island yet

I am not denying your right to dislike bagels, I just want to understand what specifically you do not like about the beautiful, glorious bagel? Did you have a bad experience with a non NY bagel or something?

 

[NothatDonald]

I agree totally Darstarr.

This morning I had breakfast with X then I drove to Vero Beach and had lunch with my Dad and now I am here at WDW.

I pulled up just as two busses did so I was on my own to unload the car.

I am waiting for a bellperson to drive me to my room as I was told “it’s way out there”.

BTW I got the room ready text about 30 seconds before going under the sign. Great timing!!!

I also got a phone call from the middle school as I was driving but I had to hit ignore. I needed waze! My first thought was “what did he do?” But he went home early because he went to the nurses office and threw up. The other one is home sick too. Poor Ant!!!

Hirim from Brooklyn then Puerto Rico drove me to my room. What an awesome room! 2 showers!!!

Ummmm
Something tells me you might be in the bagel business???
No bad experience. Just a matter of preference.
I worked at 31 flavors as a high school kid and I learned back then, “That is why there is more than one flavor of ice cream!”

Looks like a really good room! Enjoy the rest of your day.

Thanks!
