Trip Report Trip Report

Day One...

The night was sultry. Bags were packed. Gas tank was full. Wife was asleep. I sipped on an ice cold seltzer while pondering how @lostpro9het would judge me for not drinking a donut chocolate stout, but moreso I pondered an appropriate time to leave in the morning and head to Orlando.

Several hours later we were on the road.

Pit stop in Gainesville at Maple Street Biscuit.

We left Maple Street and we're getting quite amped up to be arriving at WDW soon and C decided to crank some tunes. @Zipitidoda aptly pointed out our music choice in my PTR. We'll done, ma'am.

Fun fact. C got a little too "turnt" and turned the radio up quickly and the speakers in the truck sounded as if they had blown. It's a new truck and warranty would cover it so we weren't worried but it still sucked. Kid N Play is our jam. Either way, we were in good spirits because shortly after, this was the view.

I'm choosing to believe he's just messing with you....cuz ewww. I thought it was just a joke because the mayo happened to be in the picture w/ his drink?


Agreed! Bad form on the censorship, @wdwmagic !

Kudos for using "bad form". Very fancy of you. But that's also pirate talk and now I'm offended, hence your post will be reported. And I hope you appreciate my fancy talk by using "hence".

 

[John Dulmage]

Have you ever tried putting a splash of mayo inside the rim of your cocktail?

Only when I have a Mayogarita

Day Two

We had stopped at Everglazed the night before and grabbed donuts and cold brew form the morning. As reported prior, we were not very impressed with Everglazed. Not bad, but nothing special or worth the price, IMO.

They look great, but we're only meh. Too much glaze. But again, just my opinion.

We showered up and hopped in the truck to head over to BLT. As I cranked up the truck I remembered the speakers were blown and got a little ticked about it but when the radio came on, the speakers were working again. I had literally just bought the truck a few days before leaving so having the speakers working made my morning.

We cranked up some tunes and within a few minutes we were home.

Our room was ready. We dropped off our bags and headed towards MK!

C had never stayed at BLT and I was a bit worried she wouldn't like it. She LOVES the Boardwalk resorts because we spend a majority of our days at Epcot or HS. Don't get me wrong, we love MK, but we also enjoy dining and drinking and MK isnt exactly known for either of those. But after getting settled into the room and relaxing she really was impressed and told me that she already loved the resort.

She loved the shirt walk over to MK. She wanted a new mask some hit the emporium and she grabbed the pink spirit jersey style mask. We paid for the make and within a few minutes C experienced her first cavalcade.

She loved it!

Everglazed seems more like a reference to "Everglades", not "Over glazed". But hey, I'm just a dude buying a donut.

On a podcast I was listening to this morning, apparently there is a donut shop around the Syracuse NY area called “Glazed and Confused.”

I was wondering why you named your TR, trip report. I thought you were being minimalist, LOL. Here for the show., and last of course.

The title was edited by a moderator. Along with his opening post. See here:

Wow, the mods must have removed the title. And they removed the first paragraph. Which means someone probly reported it. If it wasn't reported, I don't see how it could be offensive to anybody, but if Dr Seuss offends people, then I suppose anything can. What a bunch of malarkey.

Day Two ctd...

We were hungry so we placed a mobile order for Pecos Bill. Our order was ready very quickly. We were glad for that but as we picked up our food, our faith in the once excellent meal from Pecos was shaken, or at least mine. I ordered the chicken nachos which in years past has always been fresh and a good size portion. This was not the case today.

This is the picture i took AFTER I added some salsa and moved around the extremely small portion of cold chicken and stiff queso. Trust me, you don't wanna see the "before" pic, and either way I didn't take one because I was disappointed and just wanted to make the meal somewhat enjoyable before it got more cold.

C ordered the salad.

She was kind enough to give me some of her salad to use as toppings on my nachos.

Yes, I could.have complained about the food and got a new order, but I don't do that. I'd rather have cold nachos than nachos that have been spit in.

Another issue at Pecos is that if you sit outside on the patio facing the walkway to PoTC, you're basically trapped. The doors do not open from the outside and there are ropes to prevent you from even leaving the patio. No CM to move the ropes either. after we sat down I realized I had forgot to get napkins and I was not able to get back inside. I had to walk over the rope and go around to the entrance and let them know that I needed to go inside to get napkins. We watched several other people go through the same process. It was like Bill and Ted's excellent Adventure when they see themselves from the past, lol. But seriously, I get the point of keeping the doors locked from the outside due to social distancing and keeping out people who haven't bought food. But now, the customers who HAVE paid for food can't get back inside and by having to go over the rope forced me to be right smack in the middle of other people trying to get in and get their mobile order and there was no chance to socially distance myself if I wanted to, which I don't care. But the point is that Disney's system to prevent certain scenarios actually makes it much worse. This will come back up several times in the trip.

After lunch we headed over to 7 DMT since the wait wasn't too long. @Longers status for our ride!

Collared shirt for the win. Fancy.

I'm a glaze-lover so I would either love these or pass out from a sugar rush.
Glad C loved BLT. MK is a little light on the Eating/Drinking sit-down options....hopefully that will change soon enough!

Collared shirt for the win. Fancy.

I'm impressed, but more impressed that it has a PRINT and isn't a plain white tee!

Day 2 ctd...

Before we continue, I must give a big fat shout out to Mel Gibsons brothers best friend, @Darstarr for hooking up a player with this sweet Maradona Jersey! The One from Massepequia.

And don't y'all go harassing D for a jersey, unless she says otherwise. This was a 9000 special. And yes, I'm wearing a non V neck. And again, thank you, D. This really made my day! Excellent quality and fit. And I hope X enjoyed the Venmo description . Beers on me when we next meet up. Or at least the first few rounds until we meet faux celeberaties and blackout on Sunset. Love and God Bless.

Back to the trip...

After 7 Dwarves we headed towards Tomorrowland. C took a moment to soak in the sights and sounds of AutoTopia (she grew up on the West Coast).

We relaxed and talked about the differences between DL and WDW and just enjoyed the absolutely amazing weather. No attractions needed. Just good vibes and good times in the bubble.
We eventually decided to ride something and Mermaid had a short wait.

A quick pic to pay homage to one our beloved cats , Chloe. C had Chloe's impression tattooed and it matches well with her Marie magic band.

We headed back to BLT for an afternoon break and took some time to enjoy the mosaics at Cinderella Castle. FYI, I can't stand when people say " Cindy's". it's a castle, not a 24 hour diner. Where are we, Jersey???

C noticed the columns and the intricate detail.

We made our way down MSUSA and back towards BLT...

There was an Arby's shaped like a teepee.

That's how you know it's steeped in Native American history. Was the highway aglow with the light of a million fairies?!
