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!!

Here’s something else to try…

A new beer!! It’s a chocolate vanilla stout. We weren’t sure if we would like it so Mike gave us some little cups so we could split it. We all really liked it!!

I can’t wait to try it! I love the chocolate beer at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium, so I’m looking forward to this.

I was sat at this table a few times during my visit in March - oh to be there again

It was really good!! It wasn’t on the menu so you may have to ask for it. Mike, the bartender, told us about it!!

I already wish I was there again!! It was a really nice evening!!

 

[riverside]

On our way out(yes we are already leaving HS) we wanted to stop at the outdoor lounge at HBD. 50 minute wait-no thanks. So we ended up here & we’re having a blast!!

E’s having the margarita. H & I are having the espresso martini & R is having the toasted marshmallow old fashioned.

But, here’s the best part…Alena is giving us a hard time bc we’re wearing Baseline shirts in The Tune In so she made us new ones!!

We’re having a blast!!

I love Tune-In! If you’re still there tell Alena that Ginny from Phoenix says hi!

Bummer!! We’re already at Epcot now!! We’ll be back in a few weeks though wearing shirts with a surprise on them!!

 

[riverside]

R & I headed to our dining package reservation(for the 5:30 show). E & H went to Tutto Gusto.

We watched the trains for a bit.

And admired Snow White & the crew.

Back to Biergarten!! One of R’s favorites!!

Of course, I’m eating way too much!!

The band was fun as always!!

She did the same thing to me and now I have a Tune-In Lounge shirt! I’ll be at WDW May 5-19 so maybe we will cross paths. Hope you are having fun today!

Too funny-R ordered us Tune-In shirts while we were sitting there!! Here’s our issue-what do we wear next time? Baseline or Tune-In??
Bummer-we’ll just miss you. We’re May 1st-3rd.
We’re having a lot of fun!! Thanks!!

 

[riverside]

After Biergarten we met back up at Tutto Gusto. Our aunt & uncle joined the party!!

Now R & I are waiting for the one & only…Rick Springfield

Wear them both, do a costume change after enjoying Baseline.

Great thinking!!

You’re never going to believe this. We only saw one show tonight!! R was the one who suggested it & who am I to say no!! In all fairness the show was very good. But, just like yesterday, very crowded!!

We met back up with E & H at The Belle Vue Lounge afterwards.

The bartender had her own recipe for a banana bread martini so we made sure to try it. It was good!!

Our view of Spaceship Earth from The Skyliner.

We made a stop at Petals.

R wanted “a snack” & this is what he got!!

 

[riverside]

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.

Right!!
The worst part was while we were in the million mile line for the Skyliner I was getting annoyed bc a woman in front of us was watching something on her phone & the music was getting on my nerves bc it was so loud. Then R pointed out to me that it wasn’t her. It was the Bluetooth speaker that the resort had sitting on a column!
I don’t know, maybe it’s just me & I’m getting old!! More often than not I just enjoy “quiet”!!

 

[cgersic]

This latest Rick Springfield photo has me thinking: I wonder what the entertainer thinks when they look into the crowd and don't see people's faces, only phones looking at him? I miss the days of no cell phones sometimes.

Now I sound like I'm getting old!

Funny you say that. During yesterday’s show he asked someone if they planned on filming the whole thing bc she never put her phone down!! He said filming a bit is fine but you should also enjoy it live instead of watching the whole show through the phone!! So, I guess we know his take on it!!

 

[riverside]

@TheMouseFan I’m thinking of you!!
