Happy travels to those still to go! HOpe everyone on their trips or still to go have fantastic time and great weather!
This time last week we were coming back from a great evening at Animal Kingdom.
Grand Floridian was fun, but we had trouble with the room we started in-think the sewer or water line under the floor was leaking as the floor by bed on other side of wall from sink was soaked-and stayed soaked. Finally moved rooms Sunday when the room had a distinct odor-we'd called Sunday am and we were all out of the room all day-came back to a huge LOUD fan trying to dry the carpet but the room smelled bad. Called again and was told "well since you are checking out tomorrow no need to move!"??! Um no NOT the response anyone should EVER get-especially as the DD who had the room for the convention needed to work a bit. Other DD was at the front desk trying to get her MB/
MDE straightened out (messed up royally) so I texted her to get manager while she was there. Got moved lickety split after that, along with multiple FP with no restrictions in any park. Ended up riding SDMT 2x in row as it was our last night and only had ~3 hours to use them.
Friday
MNSSHP was so fun! Crowded in hub-yep. Still able to see parade (Frontierland), get boatloads of candy, and good spot for new fireworks without waiting for hours. Most rides a walk on expect SM, SDMT-and Pirates when it finally opened back up-but the actors in the queue and ride were entertaining. Craziest lines were for food and the special merchandise!
Saturday we started at RD at DHS-ToT, RnR (single rider), Star Tours and a couple hours at Baseline Taphouse, before heading to resort for bit -ended up at Kona for lunch. Then off to AK. Former DCP DD saw lots of friends this trip-including one working EE who gave her several FP for AK and EE. Did spend some time in Nomads as I simply love that lounge. Sunset KS is the best! Did Dinosaur twice as we had car to self!
Sunday-after breakfast at Captain Cooks (Tonga toast-we ate at the Poly a bit even though Gasparilla grill was good too) started at AK as DD's friend with passes wanted to do FoP one last time (he is ICP and was in his final days of his program from Hong Kong). 110 minutes later we were on!. DD and friend had mini reunion with several other former DCP-then all rode EE together (FP came in handy here). Off to Epcot for lunch at our favorite places (more like snacked/drinks at several spots), twirl on SE and back to resort (room drama) then to MK to close out the night. Had to see HEA on last night.
Spent Monday morning until ~3pm at Typhoon Lagoon-then Lyft back to airport (vs 2 pm ME pickup at resort). zipped through security (LOVE TSA pre-check) and had enough time for dinner before 5:40 flight.
So I now have a 2 day PH convention ticket I didn't use as DD's Friend ended up having lots of passes to get us in. Hoping they will be good if DH decided he wants to go to Orlando in January.
I think we hit 10k steps by about noon each day LOL.
Loved our unexpected bonus trip!
