Love your report! I had to laugh about the quest for Chick-fil-A. That was my husband and I on our first few trips to Disney. Now we are fortunate to have one right around the corner from our house. Now the quest is for Zaxby's
PS leaving the dogs is harder than leaving the kids
Ahhh I'm so jealous you have close Chick-fil-As! Have a spicy chicken sandwich for me, will you?! I keep hearing about Zaxby's - I've never even heard of that!
Hahaha I laughed out loud at your comment about leaving the kids and leaving the dogs
Well, that DOES make me feel better about having kids in the future!
Joining in from the other TR-- can't wait to read more about your adventures!!!
Yaaaassss! That's mine and hubby's tradition when we leave Disney-- eat Zaxby's before we head home!
YAY HI!!! Thanks for reading this one too
Another mention of Zaxby's! Man, I need to look into this place!
Pro-Tip for your next Chick-fil-A stop - ask for "Well done fries." They double fry them and they're so crispy and yummy.
Best pro tip I've EVER heard! Will DEFINITELY be doing that next time!
HAHA... we always use the "we got a great rate" excuse too
Glad we're not the only ones!! I have a feeling we're among similar company here.
Ugh, leaving the dog is the worst! But man is it fun coming home to him/her!
Is there no Chick-fil-A app that helps you find the nearest Chick-fil-A? I feel like there should be.
(Also ... I used water for my Chick-fil-A drinking game. It was closer than alcohol.Oops?)
I'm glad to hear you eventually got some chicken. And yay for almost Disney!
There actually is! We used it on the way home, I didn't think to try to find one on the way down. #fail
Water works but it sure isn't as much fun
Love your report so far and can't wait to read more! You and your fiancé are too cute. Like you, my DH and I talk about our dog much of the time we are traveling (we do have kids but they are usually with us). Huge Chik Fil A lover here as well. I always get the #1 on wheat. Best meal ever. I did cartwheels when they opened one near us.
Can't wait to read more. Interested to hear about the September heat. We have always done spring or fall. We booked early Sept at the Poly this year with a magical deal and are already having second thoughts and considering downgrading to a different hotel to go in October!
Thank you so much
!!! I'm glad we're not the only ones who spend a lot of the trip talking about the pup! It helps with missing them that's for sure.
Is the #1 the spicy chicken sandwich? I can't remember but that's my favorite! I would totally do cartwheels too if one opened by me!!
That September heat is killer. I'll talk about it probably too much in this report. Every time friends and family ask how the trip was our first response is always "hot." BUT you will have a great time! As long as you're prepared for it, you should be just fine. We drank a TON of water, bought those cooling towels and one of those little O2 fans and those helped a lot. Lots of a/c breaks too!
That's understandable. You can't be expected to remember something like it's finally time to leave for this trip we've been counting down the days to.
As a southern girl myself I still never get used to reading this as there are about 5 chick-fil-a locations within 20 miles of my house. However I never said I don't go once or twice a week.
This is the biggest one for me now though since I work at a zaxbys the thought of people seeking it out on vacation is just mind blowing for me because vacation for me is getting far far away!
Right? It's not like I had been counting down the seconds until this trip or anything...
Oh my gosh SO jealous of your proximity to Chick-fil-As! I would completely go at least once or twice a week too!
This is the third time someone has mentioned Zaxby's! I had never heard of it before! Off to google their menu...
Yup, wedding photographers book up so fast! I felt so lucky that my uncle was a great one and could do ours. I bet your Disney vacation planning skills are going to come in handy time and time again for your wedding planning!!
Oh man, I LOVE my Chick-Fil-A. We discovered it when we lived in Virginia for 5 miles. We just moved to Utah, and luckily there is one 12 minutes away from our house! (I may have timed it).
It is crazy how quick those photographers book up! I fell in love with so many only to find out they were booked already. Those Disney planning skills have come in REAL handy with wedding planning - SO many spreadsheets
Read your last trip report but never commented.... not sure why
So first off, Congratulations on your engagement
As for this trip report, my boyfriend and I were in the World from September 29th-October 7!! Cant wait to read more and hopefully ease my post Disney world depression a little bit
Thank you
!!! Oh wow we were there the same time! How'd you handle that heat?! I heard it actually started cooling off like the day we left
