Extra long Food and Wine the one year I won't be going. Boo.
Isn't that always the case?
I might survive. Might- a trip to DL will get me over it.
We are on a no travel from Like Labor day until Oct 18 when the NRPA conference leaves town, which being a Park and Recreation Conference, means we are all involved in the "hosting" duties.
The conference is the 14-18 of Oct but why we have a no travel the whole month and a half I have no idea. Prep I guess.
When are you going to DL?
You know F&W does go into November....
I was going to say that you have to stay at BWV vs. AKL - because it was available and you booked it and you gotta take it when you see it sometimes - but I wasn't sure of the F&W dates...then I read on and voila! It's great when your planning seems to line up with the fates isn't it?!
Yes, dumb luck! But I'll take it!
I kinda wanted to ride the Jingle Cruise (thinking yaay, something different, right?), but we read about it and it didn't seem to be all that different - like you said, they could've done a whole lot more!
They could have. Skipper outfits, music, even decorations throughout the ride. But it still was cute.
Cute that the boys rode IASW...as dorky as it is, it's a classic everyone has to do once!! Also a good place to sit for a bit when you're tired.
It is! I think for them, because they hadn't and had heard so much about it (not necessarily good mind you) they felt they had to go on it, so they could complain about the song with authority.
As far as your
DCL plans, I think days after the cruise at WDW will definitely help the post-cruise blues!
There is that! It will be a big gap after that trip before I'm back at WDW so the blues will likely hit hard.
You are a planning machine!!! I need a spreadsheet to keep up with your plans.
I love it when airfare drops and you just can't NOT book. I did that for our May trip with some of my miles. When I see the price break I don't even stop to ask my hubby if the times are fine with him.
I think I told you that we've been to San Juan and the cruise port before. Loved it.
I am sure we'd enjoy it but I'm not going to turn down WDW days either! It's just funny.
I was glad to see F&W starting early this year since we'll be there starting Sept. 24th.
Exciting stuff.
I was expecting the 26th but this was a welcome bonus.
As for your TR update.... We did the Jingle Cruise for the first time last trip. It was interesting to see the little bit of the holiday overlay. I think if they had some Santa's for skippers that would have been great!
Oh no!! That's a soaking. And now dinner is pending.... yikes!!
We were soaked. Luckily it really wasn't that cold but it was windy!
Santa skippers would be good, and music!
The Jingle Cruise is a great way to start off a Christmas time trip!
Love all the Space Mountain photos! So fun.
YIKES! That's a lot of rain!
Hope your timing works out!
It was a fun first ride. The Space and Splash photos are a riot, I am very glad we have them.
Love the update! The ride pictures are so fun. Shame that it rained that hard! But I guess we have to expect that at Orlando.
We did expect rain on the trip, it just wasn't in the forecast for that day so outside of Melissa, no one had more than a poncho on them. It was a bit more torrential than I'd expected though that is for sure.
Congrats on having one flight sorted. I would book into an Epcot resort for F&W. Fantastic that it starts earlier this year.
I am very pleased we were able to snag it.
I've read several other reports that the Jingle Cruise wasn't all that they thought it should be. Minimum Christmas decorations and missed opportunities for more. Oh well, it was something "different".
It was cute but yes, could have been so much more!
The Photopass pictures all turned out great! I agree that the one of your parents on Splash is my favorite.
Isn't that a riot?
You can tell that it did some major raining from the pictures you took. Nothing worse than walking around soaking wet and miserable.
Luckily we knew we were headed back so it minimized the miserableness by quite a bit. And it wasn't cold at least, which helped a lot. It was kind of funny.
Kind of.
