I have found a new way to pass time when I am a passenger in the car 
I hate regular selfies, I look blah!! These Snapchat pictures with the filters are awesome!
I call down to housekeeping on the first morning and request our room cleaning to occur mid morning each day! This has worked like a charm, our room has been cleaned 99% of the time before we get back mid afternoon.
Oh! Not a bad idea! I know I came back once, fairly late and my room hadn't been done yet. I wasn't thrilled.
I did ask about lotion when I called and was told to go buy my own in the gift shop! That did rub me the wrong way!
Then you should've gotten a lotion that would rub you the right way.
I did write an email to the manager at the YC and the GF! I hope they read my email because I didn’t get any type of acknowledgement!
Really? That's not the norm, I don't think?
the grilled cheese meal on the kids menu was gone
I asked and the CM said they could make it for us!
Nice of them.
Can I just say entering the park here is so nice! There is virtually no wait and never feels crowded!
I've done it a couple times and really liked it. So much that I've considered going from my resort to a Boardwalk resort
just to avoid the dreaded Epcot main bag check entrance.
The guy next to me was just way to cool for the ride. He never cracked a smile and just sat there like a statue!
Unless... "I really want to hoot and holler, but... I don't want to disturb these nice ladies sitting beside me."
Andi was apparently walking away from a fire, man, that girl can walk fast.
Great mental image there.
C and I had the white sangria. I really enjoyed this, it had fresh apple and pineapple in it.
Those sound good!
We have really been lucky with our pizza and service here. I have read some reviews which are not as good!
Like mine. I wasn't thrilled.
We came home and my 2 adult children wanted to play Yahtzee with their mom! How nice was that.
That's nice. Betting you enjoyed that.
I woke up with a scratchy feeling in my throat.
Oh, no...
Nice! Worth it, then.
Andi and I decided to do TSM first. I had read to do this first and let SDD line lessen some before heading there.
Really! I wouldn't have thought of that. And it sounds like it worked out really well, too.
We had so much fun we did it again!
We decided to check out SDD. The wait was maybe 10 minutes at the most. This bouncy rollercoaster is so much fun!
10 minutes isn't bad at all! And yes it is!
We decided to check out AS2 next. This was a walk on. Wow this is a bumpy little ride, especially when the track changes. I do like the aliens and the quirky music.
I finally rode it last trip. It's okay. It's definitely meant for the littles, but glad I tried it.
I was feeling a little queasy, I know I am a wimp.
We did TSMx4, SDDx3, AS2x1. I do believe we could have done SDD several more times if I would have been up to it.
You got lots done!
The egg was awful, it shouldn’t have been served. It was like rubber and the yolk was like powder, yuck!
Not surprised. Buffet eggs are notoriously gross.
I was feeling more and more like
by this time. It was 10am and I knew my sore throat wasn’t from the air conditioning.
Sorry to hear that.
We found the waiting area, right before you get on the ride rather chaotic.
It still was fairly chaotic in September.
We got on our ship and I was trying to press my buttons and watch the screen for the full effect and it was not easy! I have to say the ride was just meh for me.
That's a fairly equal assessment to mine.
Our pilots and the gunners were all one family and they were annoying!
Ugh.
The area is really amazing in that regard. I definitely did feel transported to a trading planet out on the Galaxy’ Edge!
The themeing is top notch. I enjoyed walking around more than I did riding SR.
We got a few pictures taken and watched Kylo walk by with some storm troopers, he was yelling at them!
Well of course! He's a bad guy, you know!
Ugh... erk… can't... breathe...……
We did not like the popcorn. It actually tasted stale and the red coating was really gross. This was a big miss for us. We threw most of it away.
That's a shame. What did it taste like?
The Rise of the Resistance queue was seen on our way out, looks good!
I don't think I saw that? And know nothing of what the ride is even supposed to be!
First, what does everyone think about the gondola problems? Wow, it sounds really scary and from what I have read, Disney didn’t know what to do.
I'm not really concerned, tbh. No, it wasn't the best way to start but... thinking they got/getting the kinks out.
I was really excited to try these out in January and now I’m a little nervous about it.
I wouldn't be. They're usually quite safe. And I'd be very surprised if there was any other kind of incident.
AK park is still way more appealing to me than SWGE.
I think I'd have to agree with that.
We were hungry and Satuli was our destination. This is one of our favorite places to eat lately and it is a must on our trips.
Everyone raves about Satuli. I wasn't that happy with my meal there (a few trips ago), but feel I need to give it another chance.
Two fisted choco eating. My kind of person!
This is the day I had to give up our FOP for the SWGE preview
Wow. That must've hurt!
We decided to take a Lyft back this evening and the spot for this service had moved and it was a cluster (you know what).
family? fun? filibuster?
It is dangerous! It is in a spot where guests are crossing to get to the parking lot. I didn’t care for it and our Lyft driver had a whole lot to say about it! More than I wanted to hear, she complained about it our entire ride back to the YC.
Really! Ugh. Compounding the insult...
Andi has had some extra college expenses for her International Studies. The responsible mother that I am, will use some of my vacation funds To pay for these!
Oh, shoot. Well... you have to do what you have to do.
We had a Thanksgiving week trip planned and this has to be cut!
Boo!
Our 2nd cancellation is the cruise portion of our January trip, more sad music!!
I just couldn’t spend the $2100.00 on the cruise portion, especially when the extra college $$ is around this price tag! Andi was a little sad except she knows we will definitely do a
Disney Cruise at some point!
Totally understand.
Jenny and Ariane will be there. I hope to get my drink on with them at Jock Lindsey’s bar in DS! This will be so fun!
Nice!
Andi’s friend R, who we had dinner with at Via Napoli, was accepted into the CP and she will be there in January!
Congrats to her friend.
And... all caught up!
I LOVE going for Thanksgiving and am really sad we aren't doing it again this year, but at least you and I will be there less than 2 months later!
Chris was coming and Ricky was a possibility depending on basketball so we were going to book him a flight. The least expensive out of the 6 airports we can fly from would have been $2500 for the 4 of us, WAY more than our resort with my discount and the cost of tickets for the boys!!! Just couldn't justify it especially right after the holiday. Someday I'll get there for NYE........................
Ahh, this made a mother happy!
Our Trip will be 1/14-1/20 at OKW. I rented points from an owner right here on the Dis! This was paid for awhile ago and not easy to cancel so no changing this! More good news “cue the happy music”
We have added 4 more nights to this trip. I got a great AP rate at Pop, it is around $110.00 a night. We will move here on 1/20-1/24. The cost to change our flight would have cost about the same as our Pop reservation so of course we will stay at Disney longer!!
cue the sad music!
Thank you for joining in and commenting! Getting sick on vacation is yuck! I’m sorry you and your mom got sick, no fun. I hope it didn’t put to big of a damper on your trip. The heat and feeling sick did make my SW preview less fun most definitely. The trip did improve!
