Trip Report This all seems very familiar. The loco spring 22’ TR! - COMPLETE

Well the laundry is done the yard tended to and my visit with my sweet mother is complete. Time to start our TR.

When.
May 1-7

Who.
The loco and the wife, A. A handful of other wonderful people will be making appearances also!

Where
OKW. Just look at those well-themed trash cans. So immersive, so magical.

I didn’t take very many notes, and I have a pretty horrible memory(must’ve bumped my head on too many things), but I will try to recall as much as I can!

We so enjoyed meeting you and hope to meet A on a future trip! You really timed all your days so perfectly and I agree with you on all your final thought points! Getting to the park super early is key to accomplishing the attractions you hope to do and taking that mid-day break is key to staying in the park late to get other things done in another park! So exciting that you will get the chance to experience DL in CA come September!!! I always enjoy your TR and appreciate the time it takes to share them with us. Enjoy your summer.

Great TR! Too bad we weren't able to meet up at all. There's always the next time though.

Heck we might’ve walked right by you at Epcot one night. But yes there’s always next time. Thanks for reading!

 

[Back!Elbow!Shoulders!]

Always glad to have you along. How’s the youngling?

She’s doing well and is a lot of fun. I can’t believe she’s be one next month.

Wonderful trip report. Thanks for taking us along.

Has it really been a year already?! Seems like just yesterday she was just your “moon”!

Wonderful trip report. Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

Day 6 continued.

Time for a visit from the main mouse.

He seemed exceptionally short. Of course, he is a mouse.

So there was a CM who apparently is some sort of Disney Ambassador walking around the restaurant. He took our picture with Pluto for us. He was so enthusiastic about his job and Disney, it was a little unsettling.

We had at least three visits from each character. By the end of the meal Dale was like an old friend!

A had to have a selfie with her favorite.

Dessert was a berry shortcake. It was sweet without feeling too heavy. A perfect ending to the meal.

I had been messaging with @krisri18 throughout the evening. I knew her and her husband P were in WS. I let her know we were about to walk WS so she could look for us. She immediately found us on the bridge between UK and France! It was so great meeting them! We talked like we were old friends about our trips, Disney, and life in general. Before we knew it half an hour had passed. K and P were wanting to get a spot for harmonious, so we bid them farewell. For the moment anyways.

We continued toward France where we ended up watching Harmonious since it was starting immediately.

Still not a fan.

As we started toward the front of the park A talked about how it was nice to meet our new friends, but we forgot to get a picture with them(pics or it didn’t happen right?).

Look who we ran into on the way out though!

We continued our conversations from earlier and walked together toward the front of the park where we said our goodbyes.

Sadly we had to do a little packing before bed for our last day.

You look 10 feet tall in that last picture!

 

[rshell68]

Thank you (and A) for sharing your trip with us!! I've been taking notes for when we go in June.

 

[cgersic]

I always have such a great time following along on your reports! Have a superb summer and we'll be waiting for the Disneyland report!

 

[amjt660]

We stopped for a quick bathroom break in Germany.

I am hoping you did not use the model train exhibit!!!!


Great report - jealous that you met up with so many Trip Reporters - but hopefully someday it will be me that you get to meet!!

Wanna know a secret? I actually am 10 feet tall!

I hope you have a good time in June!

If you were the only person that enjoyed the TR, it would be time well spent writing them!

I am hoping you did not use the model train exhibit!!!!

If we’re ever down there at the same time, you can count on a meetup happening!

Day 6 continued.

It was finally time for dinner at Garden Grill.

I’m not a fan of whatever dressing they put on the salad. The rolls were actually warm, so that’s a plus.
View attachment 641841

The main platter. Both meats and the stuffing were outstanding. The vegetables were pretty bland. Mashed potatoes were also very good.

Mac and cheese comes in a separate dish.

Apparently I wasn’t excited to see Chip.
View attachment 641844

A was much happier to see him.
View attachment 641842

Dale was curious about our meal.
View attachment 641845

He decided he might join us.

Chip would return for a better picture! What’s he doing to my ear?!

Your comments on the pictures have been on point since the beginning of this TR. Cracking up over here!
