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.

After the parade we could have headed to the castle for fireworks but I wanted to get several rides in on BTMRR and Splash instead plus I hoped to time it where we were on one or the other while they were going off. We did on BTMRR. It was gorgeous. Stopped and took some more pics after we got off.

We got some candy to bring home to Stinker and took another ride on Splash & Big Thunder and decided to call it a night about an hour early.

I still can’t believe I left an hour before it ended. I had a ball but I think going every 3 months for a year, has let me lose some of the excitement and want to take in as much as I possibly can. 😑

Splash pic- Do I not have the most messed up double jointed arms ever??? They look broken!! 😂

Fun random fact: My dad was double jointed and every single descendant so far, even a great grandchild is double jointed. Strong genes lol!

Few photos on the way out.

Powering forward with one more segment for the day. I have so much to do, it isn’t even funny.

Before I move to the report, I have to say..

It was 91 degrees today?! In the Mountains? Canning season, it is supposed to be getting cooler. 91?!? Pressure canner going to be going at 91 all day? Ummm, no. I never thought I would say this since I live for summer, but come on fall. This is insane. 🔥 I am over it.


Anyway,

August 28, 2019- our 27th wedding anniversary ❤💖💘

B & I are still like teenagers for the most part. We still always hold hands, we almost sit in each other’s laps at a movie, just like we did as kids. We have never been apart longer than my 4 day trip to California in 2002.

That doesn’t mean, after this many years, we don’t get on each other’s nerves every now and then. That is normal, but we do still like each other- A lot.

We usually drive down on our anniversary, or a day or so after. Waking up there on our actual anniversary. Very cool. ❤ I had made plans for DHS morning, the calm before the Star Wars storm.

So, off we went to ride RnRC once standby, then FP, same with ToT, then FP a bit later.

We were getting hungry so we headed to Pizzerizzo. Stopped to check out Star Wars entrance area. I take it there was a media event or something.

I still miss the Streets. Especially at Christmas. :(
Glad there are a few windows still left here.

We ducked out for a quick smoke break in the brutal sun. Again so glad the area is now inside bag check but good grief a tree with some shade would be much appreciated.

Anyway, we were hot so we ended up stopping here.

I enjoyed the Margarita Flight so much the other day I opted for another today. I also got very mad at myself for eating the PizzeRizzo salad when I could have gotten a full size Cobb at the Lounge. I did not know they now let you order from the full menu inside.

I then decided for some absurd reason to try a Martini. I made this decision based on the fact that I adore olives. Ya... a Martini does not taste like Olives. It tastes like fire water. It reminded me of straight moonshine. I did not drink but a sip or two. B finished it. 🤮

We had FP for Slinky but not until 6:00 so I ended up being able to change it to another RnRC. We rode it and ToT again.

I love Aerosmith. Always pose at the pic.

I then decided to peep into the Tune in Lounge to see if Orlando was working. He used to work at the Brown Derby Lounge and I just loved him. Wicked good sense of humor. He always loaded my Derby Cosmos and said it was a “special” one for the princess. 😂

He wasn’t there but I did snap a couple of pics inside.

I wanted to do Muppets. So we did.

I think we did ToT again because I know I stopped at the restrooms and when I came out my wonderfully sweet amazing B had bought me this. ❤️😍

I have an obsession with Disney purses. I have way too many of them. He started the obsession with my Park Icon Dooney tote he bought me for our anniversary in 2015. I now have shelves to accommodate my growing collection. 😳 It was especially sweet that he bought it and surprised me like that because I have bought 4 this year already and even though I loved this one, I had too much guilt to buy it.

We then headed out to hop a boat to our Anniversary dinner!

We hurried up to our ADRs at Toledo. They were running a little behind so we had time to check out the views. It was still lightning but nothing like it had been when we were having our meet at 3 Bridges. I do not mind rain, but being on water with lightning terrifies me.

We were seated beside a very friendly couple and before I tell this story- I want to make it clear that I am in no way being mean or judgmental at all. They were again, very nice and talkative.

We ordered a drink and appetizer. B had a beer and I had the Tequila Daisy View attachment 406523

and we had the Pan Con Tomate Tomato Bread.

I adore tomatoes and this was outstanding.

I will note that I terribly cheated on my staying away from gluten this trip. I paid for it too. My stomach killed me after having all that I did. It was worth it though.

But back to the meal- I noticed that the lady beside me had begun to sway. She went to say something to me and her eyes could not stay open and her mouth could not get anything I could decipher out. B had gotten up to go to the bathroom and on his way back text me this.

I was starving to death but the entire time after they brought our food, all I could think was please don’t throw up on me, please. If she had I would have very quickly returned the favor because I can’t even stand to hear, much less see someone vomit. She took her shoes off and struggled to the bathroom where maybe she did throw up, I don’t know but was still so visibly out of it I don’t know how she made it out of the place. Also so visibly out of it that she vaped at the table, almost dropping it while doing so. It was so bad that I just felt really bad for her. I could not help but get tickled though when they left and the couple beside us immediately are like how did she not pass out or throw up?? One of them did a perfect dead on impression of her eyes crossing and I laughed but I still kind of felt bad for it because they were nice, she was just toasted beyond belief.

What is wrong with people?

BTW - late to the party but enjoying the report!

Then it was time to eat!

And eat we did.... I was so full. We both ate entirely too much.

The fried shrimp was new. They were huge too and really tasty not chewy or overcooked like smaller shrimp.

We got some dessert and then the waitress brought us this for our anniversary. Cheesecake. Really good and very cute! I thought I was going to be sick with it and the free champagne on top of everything else I had consumed.
