Trip Report The "You plan, I'll go" Trip - March 2019

Hellllllooo there! Welcome to our little transdimensional joy ride, folks!
Erm... I meant Trip Report...

Yes, I am back in NY and trust me I kicked and stomped my feet the whole way back. With a little over a month left of college, Disney left me wanting summer in the absolute worst way.

With 61 days until my next trip, I figured now would be as good of a time as any to start this report.

I included some pre-trip details at the end of my last trip report, here!

Here we goooooo!

Monday, March 18
I got up somewhere around 6am, since our flight was scheduled to leave around 8, we needed to leave the house about 6:30.

Typical airplane outfit - but this time with new sneakers (pictured later)!

There was a bit of a line at the airport but nothing too awful. We got through security pretty fast and headed for Tim Hortons.

I got a bagel and so did GJ, as well as an iced vanilla latte for me and a black coffee for her.
No food pictures because I completely forgot LOL

We boarded and of course I had the window seat - the only seat I will ever sit in!

Quick little de-icing action and we were on our way!

I pretty much listened to music the whole flight and I tried to nap but I was unsuccessful. I was way too excited to be in the sunshine (more on this later).

I got these pandora rings and I thought they were just so cute with my nails!

Next - finally landing, AP issues, and Epcot!

EPCOT Continued:
We were also shocked to find that they moved Lady & the Tramp!

They seem so far away now... I miss the old location.

Very picturesque but I'm definitely missing the nostalgia factor.

I think these tea cups used to be bigger as well. The hydrangeas are so beautiful no matter what though.

Had to grab a picture of GJ with her favorite character to send to my mom

Next - more EPCOT!

EPCOT continued:
GJ mentioned wanting to use the bathroom before we headed to our FP which still wasn't for a little while, so we kept walking and eventually made our way over.

The weather as you can tell was very "meh" this day. I wasn't hot but I also wasn't super cold until the wind started to pick up.

We stopped to smell the roses
I wish I had written down the name - the fragrance was amazing!

Found Figment!

Had to take these for Aunt J who will be joining in on my May trip!!

We made our way to the bathrooms, GJ went and I took a minute to people watch.

Next - more EPCOT!

EPCOT continued:
We finally were able to use our first FP so we walked into the Land.

First ride of the trip - way to commemorate it with an awful picture. Typical. LOL

Every time we went on Soarin' this trip, we had a curved view. I miss the old Soarin'. RIP flying golf ball.

We decided to go find Nemo next because we had a bit of time before we were able to use our "Farm Ride" FP.

It had a small wait, about 25 minutes, but that ended up working out great for us.

Back over to the Land!

Behold: the best ride in Epcot!

Side note, I just watched GOTG 1 and 2 this past week so I'm getting really excited for the coaster. /Yadayada it doesn't belong, IPs, etc.

Next - more EPCOT

 

[ScarletBegonias]

I'm in! I love love love those shoes! I need a pair!

 

[maxntina]

Loving your report so far! Can't wait to read more!

 

[becca_]

So... I know it's been a while... but I promise I haven't forgotten! I just moved back home from school and finished up my finals. I'll be leaving for Disney in 9 days so I really hope to knock some of this out this week!

 

[becca_]

EPCOT con't:

I take way too many pictures on this ride and never do anything with them... I never learn though because I keep doing it!

After LwTL, we headed back towards the front of WS.

Next - more EPCOT!

EPCOT con't:
We decided to do a few more things before leaving. First on the list was to grab some Flower and Garden merch. I got a mug and GJ got a shirt she liked!

Next on the list - 3 cabs!

Slightly longer line than usual, but this one goes pretty fast so we did not mind!

Fiesta Hoy!!

Next - finishing up Epcot!

 

[becca_]

Last bit of Epcot!

They're so cute I can't even stand it. I'm so excited to be here soon!

Last ride of the day - SSE.

I couldn't remember why I took this picture but then I remembered that the boys in front of us (4 of them - all under 18 probably) were being so rude and so annoying, getting up out of their seats, yelling, etc. It was so obnoxious!

Anyway...

One last picture and we headed to the busses.

Our home for the week! Old Key West.

This was my first time staying here. I was pleasantly surprised.

We had to go to the desk because we hadn't gotten a room ready text yet.

More room pics to come!

 

[becca_]

Continued:

We settled in a bit, rested our feet, and headed off to Disney Springs. We took the boat there and it was absolutely freezing so we knew we had to take the bus home!

I knew I wanted to eat at Chicken Guy, so we headed over there and waited in line for probably 15-20 minutes.

Omg. It was sooooo good. I also can't wait to have this again in like a week! Yum. Gj got the same thing!

 

[becca_]

Disney Springs con't:

We did some shopping, as per usual.

Uniqlo didn't have anything that caught my eye so we moved on.

I have to say... I don't love the remodel here. It feels very weird and not super Disney-ish.

I got some shirts, ears, and a pin and we headed back to the buses.

This trip I had a refund on my credit card so I had a little extra cash to spend... and boy did I spent it LOL

The next morning
GJ and I decided to make some breakfast reservations at the Plaza on our way to MK. The app was being so stupid and ended up booking me twice so I guess that I "missed" a reservation and I ended up being charged for it. I never said anything because honestly the $20 wasn't worth the hassle of me calling.

Outfit of the day. Plus a poncho. It was down pouring alllllllll day long.

Rainy balcony pictures. Off we went.

Don't you just LOVE the app sometimes?

A very rainy MK!

Up next - more MK!

 

[becca_]

MK con't:

Rainy - but we finally made it!!!

I made her pose

The park wasn't officially opened yet, so we waited towards Liberty Square with plans to hit Haunted Mansion first.

Aaannnnd it was closed. So we headed into Fantasyland.

Next - more MK!

 

[becca_]

MK:
Our first ride of the day - it's a small world.

We walked right on!

No names on the screen this time, but I still love this room.
We headed over to tomorrowland next.

Space Ranger Spin was in order for our day!

Not a Galactic Hero this time but not too awful... I need to redeem myself next trip!

Looked around while GJ used the bathroom, and off we went to our reservations!

We waited under the porch for about 5 minutes until they called our name. In we went!

Next - more MK!

 

[becca_]

MK con't:
We sat down, and both decided to order off the kid's menu.

It was so so good!

I also got an AP discount which I didn't know was a thing! So that was a nice surprise.
Due to my amazing planning skills, I had a FP for Space Mountain up next.

GJ doesn't do SM so she waited in the gift shop. We headed over to the People Mover after I was done.

Still super rainy - but the sun was trying to peak out!

Next - more MK
