Trip Report Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho it’s off to TR’ing we go!!

And I swear, before anyone thinks I’m biting off @wdisney9000’s title I’m not!! I had the title in my mind while I was on the plane. Imagine my surprise when I opened up this app & saw his latest!! I debated but it was hard enough for me to come up with that title much less pick another one. @wdisney9000 I hope you’re ok with this!! And more importantly now that I know we’re both here at the same time I hope we get to meet up again!!

Ok, here we go!!

Here’s the crew(in the elevator-interesting place for a pic) when we first arrived here an hour ago!!

Leaving cold, dreary Pittsburgh behind!!

In a much warmer climate!!

We have a 1BR in The Springs section. Literally right across the street from the main building. Perfect!!

Check out the new soap/lotions!!

We headed to bell services to pick up our groceries & when I looked at the app I saw that they canceled our order!! I placed it again & it should be delivered this evening. I don’t understand why but the silver lining is that I took off the hand soap now that Disney has liquid in the room. We normally always order a liquid one so it saved us a few bucks!!

On our way to Disney Springs now!!

You'll have a great time even with seeing Rick over and over again!

If you say so!!

We have arrived!!

Our room wasn’t ready so we checked our luggage with bell services.

We stopped at Petals to get a snack & lo & behold our room was ready!!

Retrieved our luggage & took it to the room.

We’re in the 80’s section. Our view.

On our way to meet the rest of the crew!!

Have a great afternoon and say hi to the crew for me!!! I love Pop Century rooms and the pool areas!

They said hello!! How funny, we were just talking about Pop & I was saying that I don’t care for them-too small!!

 

[riverside]

On our way to the Skyliner we saw the yo-yo being pressure washed.

Now we’re all together!! We’re at one of E’s favorites-Ale & Compass Lounge!!

Rob’s excited to watch The Masters!!

E & H did The La Cava Experience this morning & absolutely loved it!! I think I see that in my future!! They also hit Cake Bake for breakfast!! Too bad she doesn’t do TR’s-she could elaborate more!!

 

[riverside]

We had a 3:35 dining package reservation at Le Cellier for the 8:00 show. At the end of the meal our waitress brought us tickets for the 6:45 show-doesn’t matter to me bc I’m going to all of them regardless.

So pretty!!

We all enjoyed our dinners & fortunately H didn’t have to do a medical intervention like last year when we ate here!!

I got the filet & spinach.

Our desserts…

I have to mention the weather is absolutely beautiful today. Nowhere near as hot as it was a few weeks ago when we were here!!

Now I’m waiting for Round 1 to start!!

 

[riverside]

I can’t even begin to explain these crowds. Way worse than last year!!

In line for Round 2 & I had to step out to get a beer

This picture doesn’t do it justice-it’s total insanity. This is the line/lines for the dining package.

In both the dining package & standby line they are allowing people to line up for multiple shows. It’s way too much. CM’s said some have been waiting in standby starting at 10:00 this morning

 

[Tuvalu]

Sounds exactly like the situation with John Stamos and The Beach Boys in November.

Insanity.

Exactly.
When the cast member was telling us about people being in line since 10 I commented with one word, “stupid”. Everyone around me started laughing!!

 

[riverside]

We somehow got in the 2nd row for round 2. Before the show started R surprised me by saying we could skip round 3 tonight!! The crowds were way too much for him too!!

We also planned on going to FQ to visit with some family that is here & we’re old so we thought it would be better to get there earlier so we can get back to our resorts sooner!!

 

[littleroo]

I am glad that the temps have gone down for your sake!! Maybe R is giving up on the 3rd round because he needs a nap Enjoy your trip

Yes, the temps are way better than a few weeks ago!! Funny you say that about R-wait until you see my next post!!

 

[riverside]

We ubered from The Boardwalk to FQ.

I’m not even going to attempt to tell you who everyone is but they’re all family!! We were meeting our aunt, uncle, cousins & some of their kids!! We had a fun time hanging out at Mardi Grog’s with them!!

@littleroo here you go!!

H wanted to get in the pic with him!!

We parted ways & headed back to our resorts. Even though it’s not Riverside it was nice to visit her sister resort!!

 

[littleroo]

Awe! Look at R! He couldn't wait to dream of Rick Springfield!

 

[riverside]

I was woken up(& I by no means am a morning person) by a baby/kid next door that was screaming & crying for what felt like FOREVER!! And if that wasn’t bad enough then I had to contend with R’s infamous Bluetooth speaker & in todays playlist was none other than Rick Springfield!!

While he’s getting ready I’m outside trying to enjoy some quiet time but that’s not happening either. The landscaping crew is hard at work doing their thing!!

Joe is the same way. What is it with men and their speakers? Can't we just enjoy some quietness once in a while?

 

[cgersic]

Speakers at the beach are my nemesis. Why can't we just enjoy the sound of the waves???? I love staying at Pop, but they are always up early doing some kind of maintenance.

Exactly!! It aggravates me to no end!!
