Trip Report The Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue Trip Report *Complete*

The Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue - Trip Report

Back home and wanted to at least get a start on this report, before I start canning next week. (Plus Stinker is down for the moment)

I had the best intentions of taking notes, and even bought a journal to do such. (Ya, right, I never even opened it)

My pre- trip and semi live report can be found here.
https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads...keep-saying-that-semi-live-now.955080/page-15

My title explanation is as follows.

The Old- for our Anniversary (27) and at Coronado Springs.

The new- flying instead of the torture it is for me being in a car for 8 1/2 hours, or in the case of Irma 17 1/2. 😑

Also, meeting and getting to chat with some very sweet trip report forum members and their spouses.

That would have been so out of my comfort zone until I met @Tuvalu in May. Very glad that I had the opportunity it was a blast. :)

The borrowed, is my alternate title - The Last Chapter- because believe it or not, I did not renew APs or book a Bounceback. I really am not going back until earliest May of next year and I am totally fine with that.

We almost did bounce back because we love celebrating our Anniversary at the world but it is HOT!! Too Hot and the only way I like a Hurricane or threat of one is in a glass.

The Blue, was lack of rain, other than a horrid storm while having drinks at Coronado and a little bit during a day at AK. Also for the gorgeous blue skies we flew both down and back in.

So onto day 1- flying down.


15 trips to WDW and flew one time, the rest in a car. It is taxing, at best for me to be in the car for more than 30 minutes. I hate it. Always have. My mom still goes a little pale at the thought of our road trips when I was little. My dad had to take the scenic route and stop at every beach and then make us get back in the car to check out another one- in my defense. I just wanted to stay at the first one. I hated getting back in the car lol.

1 hour and there? Ya, I am in.

I was expecting to wait forever but better than a car right? (For me, anyway)
Got there 2 hours before, checked bag, did security, no line. Waited, boarded, took off, and an hour 30 minute flight, landed in a little over an hour.

And yes, I did have a Bloody Mary for breakfast. ;)

Made our way off and down to ME, straight into a line, and was on the bus maybe 5 minutes after getting in line.

Not very easy to get a pic of the gate in a bus.

And we are home! Love the new sign, it reminds me of the old room colors, though which is odd.

Three Bridges Bar & Grill-

I loved this place thought it was an excellent addition to Coronado. We would be back the following night for drinks and a meet but we were hungry and I did not want Pepper Market again or Maya, we have been so many times.

We got the Pork Tacos & Chicken Biscuit Sliders to share. I loved both but B being a pulled pork king, did not care for it that much. I think I got a Long Island Iced Tea. We had a great table right by the water and watched Illuminations going off behind us. Great service as well. Again, really enjoyed this place. Two thumbs up all around! :)

I liked both but the reason B was iffy on the tacos is he said the pulled pork was like out of a can. I agree but it was still good with all of the toppings.
This is his BBQ from today. BBQ is serious stuff in the Carolinas. 😂 The only place at Disney that can even begin to compare is Flame Tree and still nowhere near as good. My sides are better too lol but at Flame Tree I don’t have to make it or clean up the mess. 😑

Day 2 August 25th-

After we ate we walked around for a bit and turned in. I wanted to be at MK early. We caught the bus and were on Main Street by 8:38 am by my first picture.

Everything on that plate looks so good! :hungry:
Thanks! Unfortunately it was my last off diet meal. I have been bad all summer. :(
Carolina-style BBQ is my favorite. Yum.
I miss Carolina barbeque
Hard to beat! I do the no ketchup vinegar hot sauce and B does the SC hot mustard. People are picky about all aspects of BBQ lol.
Following along!
Thanks for reading along! :)

I had fastpasses for BTMRR, with the hopes of riding once and using the fastpass which we did. I then hoped to hit Splash standby and fastpass but it was down. :(

So after hanging around for a bit to see if it came back up we headed to use our HM fast pass.

Thankfully, they did not overload so the bottleneck craziness was not bad. Splash was still down so we headed around Fantasyland and ended up at Cosmic Ray’s because we were starving.

B wanted a Turkey Leg. (Yuck) but apparently the cart is not open anymore. So we headed back to Fantasyland.

Following along! Your BBQ looked awesome! So yummy!
Thanks for following :) B will love all the compliments on his BBQ art! 😂
So much so that the entire State of NC is divided by how it's made.

But, since I am not a BBQ fan, I don't wade into that fight.
I know!! The only thing that is more serious than BBQ in NC is College basketball! 😂😳

Then headed out through the Emporium, as I always do to snap some pics and snake through the crowds on Main Street whilst enjoying the AC on a hot day.

I had not had a cigarette since before we headed to MK so I went to the bus stop smoking spot to have one before I realized we would have to walk all the way back to the monorail to get to Epcot...

Or not- bus to Yacht and Beach Club it is. Got straight on- walked through Yacht Club.

Stopped here for a drink then strolled up to one of the best, random character interactions I have ever seen! 😍

I didn’t want to go up and interfere with other people’s moments- so I took pics and moved on to the smoking bench on down and watched. The handler must have seen that I was hanging back because in a minute when we stood up to go here they came! They sat on the bench and posed, then headed straight to me. To say that I was a happy camper puts it mildly.

If I am ever too old, or too stuffy not to grin like this, with characters- take me out of this world, because I am no longer me. It has always and hopefully always will make me feel all of 3.
