Enjoying your trip report.



Enjoying your trip report.
Caroline enjoying your trip report and photos. I enjoy vacationing with my sister too. She is a great travel partner.
My sister is a big Disney fan and I’am a big Universal fan. I will have to admit I would have to do some homework to understand Genie + ride arrangements.
It really is nice to have a balcony! I love to spend as much time outside as possible. Being from Minnesota you know what I mean!So nice to have a slow morning on the balcony at WDW! I am afraid I am someone that holds up the line, like 50% of the time my fingerprint does not work. I have to have mine reset every trip at least twice, ugh! Not sure why they can't just use the photo they took of me last time they reset mine like Disneyland doesYum, Satu'li, never change! Love when Dinosaur has a short standby! Bummer on the la cava margaritas! I think they pre-mix everything now, which is a bummer. I still have yet to try frushi, some day my trip dates will align! Hooray for international CMs! And what a bummer on Remy being down, Epcot is so spread out it's the worst when you walk so far for no reason!
So glad you have enjoyed the reports. I’am looking forward to reading more of your report.I enjoy reading your trip reports on the Universal board! My daughter and I are going to HHN this fall, I’m really excited to do it again! I’m thinking we might do the Lights on tour. My sister and I really liked the tour!
It sure didn't helpI wonder if the change in movie and the bending monuments have something to do with it
I like fruit salad. I like rice. I do not like them together. Rice pudding is not something I care for.If you like a fruit salad with rice, it is similar to that. It is light and refreshing
I usually try to compensate by being overly nice to the poor CM.It is frustrating but really why say such stupid things! The poor CM standing there was getting so many negative snarky remarks from guests!
Hi Carole!Hey Caroline….
I managed to get in before I missed too much this time!
Glad you had some magic for the flight coming in, nicer seats are so much better for travel.
Your food pictures are lovely, I really like the look of the shrimp and orange drink in Epcot but all your food so far looks so nice. WL is beautiful, I’m glad you added those pictures too and again, your trip sounds so much fun as always.
Looking forward to keeping up this time…….![]()
Enjoying reading about your trip so far! What a great start you all had.
Thank you! Are you planning a trip to HHN this year? I’m excited to find out more about the houses and theme this yea!So glad you have enjoyed the reports. I’am looking forward to reading more of your report.
HmmmI like fruit salad. I like rice. I do not like them together. Rice pudding is not something I care for.
Same here!I usually try to compensate by being overly nice to the poor CM.
Hi Carole!
Thank you for joining in!
I know you are just getting back from your vacation!
I really love WL, however I think AKL beats it out just a little for both Donna and I
We had delicious food this trip and yummy drinks, of course!
4/18
Purchased Genie+ MK/HS (Fantasmic dining package for 8:30 show)
Paid for 7DMT
Today our plans included MK in the morning and DHS in the evening. Our first Genie+ ride was PPF for around 11am and 7DMT was reserved for 11:30.
We took the relaxing boat to MK and arrived at 9am. We started with PoTC. We were able to do quite a few rides without a wait. We did HM,

We decided to share a Mickey pretzel with cheese. It was around 10:30am. Lunching Pad was hopping, apparently people love hotdogs for breakfast!The pretzel was fresh and the cheese was nice and warm! Two thumbs up
![]()
A lady came to our table and asked if she could sit and eat her hotdog with us. Sure no problem, we enjoy talking to other guests. Her family was somewhere around and she couldn’t find them right now.Maybe she wanted a break from them.
She was from New Jersey and she told us they have spent the entire morning waiting in line for Tron! It has been down all morning. They finally bailed the ride and are hoping they can ride later since they did payto ride.
We decided not to try for Tron this trip. Donna was nervous about getting on and off the bike! I’m glad we didn’t try to ride this morning!
We enjoyed visiting with her and soon she saw her family at another table and headed over there. We finished our pretzel and worked our way to PPF. “Poor Nana”, actually this was true Nana’s one eye was not working properly and she looked very weird!
Our next ride was 7DMT, we paid for this “fancy ride” and it was thoroughly enjoyed by us! We didn’t get our picture!We also didn’t get our Pirates picture today. I noticed the lines looked really long this trip for our paid rides, however, The lines moved fast for almost all of our paid selections.
Next we did Buzz, Pooh, and Dumbo with Genie+.

No Galactic Hero’s here!!
We took another spin on PM. PM kept stopping so we had an extra long ride. I think Tron was back up running at this time.
Our final Genie+ was BTMR. We first stopped and got the delicious cheeseburger spring rolls. These are amazing! The special sauce is the bombcapital YUM!
We still had some time before Big Thunder so, of course, we went to see the Country Bears, ya all come up and see me sometime! How many of you like this show? I really do and think the show is really funny. We enjoyed singing and dancingwell dancing in our mind with the Bears

It was now time to ride Big Thunder. We had row 15, wow you are whipped around in the back! It was really fun but a little more wicked!
We decided to take the wonderful train back to Mainstreet station. There is a train station in Frontier Land right by the closed Splash. Pro tip the bathrooms at Splash are still open and it is really quiet back there.
There are benches to sit and relax on away from the crowds.
Once back at the front of MK, we took the boat back to WL.
We thought it would be relaxing, however, it sure wasn’t. A lady with her 2 year old son sat in front of us and she didn’t watch him, and he almost fell over the side of the boat. I had to grab him! YikesShe was like oh sorry and put her hand on him but still kept her eyes on her phone! Ugh I was a nervous wreck watching the little boy! I needed a Drink
and I was very happy when we arrived at WL! Bummer we didn’t have time for a drink
of the alcohol kind. We had just enough time for a Diet Coke, a bathroom visit, and a minute to enjoy our towel art from Mousekeeping before we needed to head to DHS!

Stay tune for a wonderful evening in DHS. Spoiler we loved Fantasmic![]()
One of the best, underrated things in the park.
And no foot shot? Shame!and PM.
Um... no.apparently people love hotdogs for breakfast!
Her family was somewhere around and she couldn’t find them right now.Maybe she wanted a break from them.
she told us they have spent the entire morning waiting in line for Tron! It has been down all morning. They finally bailed the ride and are hoping they can ride later since they did payto ride.
Well Nana is 51 years old. That's 357 in dog years.“Poor Nana”, actually this was true Nana’s one eye was not working properly and she looked very weird!
And again no foot shot!We took another spin on PM.
Okay! Okay! I keep hearing about this and never quite believed it could be that good. Fine! I'll try it if/when I ever get back down there.We first stopped and got the delicious cheeseburger spring rolls. These are amazing! The special sauce is the bombcapital YUM!
Of course! It's a classic.we went to see the Country Bears, ya all come up and see me sometime! How many of you like this show?
Weeeee!!!It was now time to ride Big Thunder. We had row 15, wow you are whipped around in the back! It was really fun but a little more wicked!

She was like oh sorry and put her hand on him but still kept her eyes on her phone!
Elaborate!
LwtL with the seasonal enhancements are the best!LWTL was a walk on and we did this right after Soarin.
I love this ride. Disney is now putting in more props related to each Festival. The ride is very relaxing and never gets old!![]()
Andi! I love that shirt.Cute orange bird shirt in the gift shop area. I thought Andi would want it but she said no!![]()
I am sorry to hear that La Cava has gone downhill. The drinks are so pricey, at the very least you should get a good quality drink!We headed to The Mexican Pavilion. The price of Margarita’s at La Cava is ridiculous now, however, we headed straight there.
The line was actually pretty short and we were even offered a table! Normally, I would jump on this except we had more booths to try! We ordered our $$$ cucumber margaritas and headed out. For the price, we were a little disappointed! The drinks were weak and didn’t have the flavor like the last time I got one. I probably won’t head back to La Cava anytime soon. Two thumbs down
I just don’t feel spending $40.00 on two drinks with the tip is worth it. Way to steep for what we got.
Still not feeling GotG?We decided to ride SE before heading out. I know we didn’t use the extra hours for top rides but Remy was the only one we really wanted in the extra 2 hours.
Cheese stuffed pretzel? That would be tasty!We decided to share a Mickey pretzel with cheese. It was around 10:30am. Lunching Pad was hopping, apparently people love hotdogs for breakfast!The pretzel was fresh and the cheese was nice and warm! Two thumbs up

Love the Country bears! So campy and cheesey! And of course BTMR is the best in the back.Our final Genie+ was BTMR. We first stopped and got the delicious cheeseburger spring rolls. These are amazing! The special sauce is the bombcapital YUM!

What in the world is wrong with people????? Put down the **** phones and look after your children!We thought it would be relaxing, however, it sure wasn’t.

Thank you! We love trying different food and drinks while traveling! We also have to stop for favoriteOh your food and drinks already look lovely!!
It sure is! It is probably one of my all time favorite attractions!Haunted Mansion is one of the thing`s we`d do if we ever did go back to Disney, it is a lot of fun.
It really was! If you don’t have a two year old on a boat by yourself then you can look at your phone! UghOh the kid in the boat is terrifying....we saw many similar incidents with folks only paying attention to their phones!! Crazy.....but glad you caught him, and yes, I`d be ready for a drink too.
We do take it slower without Andi, however, we still always have so many things to do!You have very busy days and manage to do a lot in them!
Wow those crazy bears left an impact on you! I’m glad it was a good one! We really enjoy the show and it holds a special spot for my daughter and I!I love Country Bears! I'm not sure anyone else in my family enjoys it, but they put up with it for me. It is the one memory I have from the one day I had at the Magic Kingdom as a child. I literally can't remember anything else but that show, so it holds a special place for me.
I agree and most people don’t even look into the graveyardOne of the best, underrated things in the park.
HahaAnd no foot shot? Shame!
Well Nana is 51 years old. That's 357 in dog years.
These little fried to perfection spring rolls are that GOODOkay! Okay! I keep hearing about this and never quite believed it could be that good. Fine! I'll try it if/when I ever get back down there.
It really is! Definitely old school but I love the Country Bears!Of course! It's a classic.
I laugh every time I am flying around those curves!Weeeee!!!
Such a fun coaster.
I know! He was the cutest little guy with curly hair! I sure would have hated to see him in the water!Good thing someone was watching him!
I was the same way. We are to observant I guess!When my kids were little, I'd see that all the time. I'd be the only parent watching anywhere from 3 to 10 kids. I always wondered what happened after I'd leave.
Love it! It was really fun riding it with you and Bill at Christmas time!LwtL with the seasonal enhancements are the best!
I know! I wish I would have got it for myself!Andi! I love that shirt.
I was disappointed and I had really talked up the cucumber margarita to Donna and it really was not near as good as DecemberI am sorry to hear that La Cava has gone downhill. The drinks are so pricey, at the very least you should get a good quality drink!
I am getting ready to put my big girl pants on for my trip with Andi! We will be doing GotG, Tron, Hagrid’s and the Mummy!Still not feeling GotG?
No just the regular old Mickey pretzel with the plastic cheese on the side!Cheese stuffed pretzel? That would be tasty!
Yes I agree! BTMR is crazy wild in the back!Love the Country bears! So campy and cheesey! And of course BTMR is the best in the back.![]()
It was terrifying for me and mom well, not so much! YikesWhat in the world is wrong with people????? Put down the **** phones and look after your children!
