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.

I did living with the land. After doing behind the seeds last month it was cool to see some of the items and how they have grown.

Always some minnie love

I had a dog who would dig these out of my flower beds and eat them. I guess because they are edible.

On the BtS tour I wondered if people, of average height (I am 5’8”) could see this and tell it says Epcot. The answer, I believe, is no.

I had my arms stretched as high as they would go.

I know I just got here but I have a few minutes before my next FP so here I am

Paper straws in DVC lounge

Ugggh

Sorry folks.

Some kid in the pixar shorts freaked out when it went from 2D to 3D. Poor guy. The dad had to leave with him.

Feeling hungry but my stomach is not right. I could really use a beer. That would settle it down. But I have to drive to the airport later. So instead I got this

There is a little too much going on here! And barely any cauliflower. Even though the dish is called roasted cauliflower.

Great Trip report so Far! Not bothered at all by your lack of manicure, but paper straws! Ugggh!
Nothing better than sipping my soda through a plastic straw while eating a nice egg bagel

People say that all the time but K actually has a twin sister who is commonly referred to as “the evil twin”.
(The woman is scary!)

 

[Darstarr]

I could wake to this everyday

Heading to MK as soon as K is done getting ready.

@krisri18 is your SIL still around? I looked for her yesterday but did not find her.

Unfortunately they were only there for a day. They flew down Wed morning for an awards thing for the company my brother works for and then they spent Thursday at Epcot because @NessNewt loved Flower and Garden last year and wanted him to experience it. They flew home really late last night.
Maybe we'll all bump into you at some point, you seem to be doing a trip a month!
