**QUICK UPDATE**

Hi guys! I'm here!!!

Our flight was delayed yesterday so we ended up with a gourmet dinner of McDonald's when we arrived at WDW hehe.

But, we got a HUGE surprise on check in! We were upgraded to the Executive Suite at Coronado Springs! Its truly incredible and I'll post pictures soon. We've been 5 times during the Year of a Million Dreams and this is the biggest dream we could ever imagine!

I'm on my way to Downtown Disney for an early lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express and some shopping for water and breakfast items. Then its back to get claned up and off to The Party for the Senses tonight!

Pics this afternoon

~*~DAY 1~*~

FRIDAY OCT 24th​

This was our travel day and unfortunately things didn't quite go as planned. We drove from Toronto to Buffalo and stopped off at Cracker Barrel for lunch before heading to the airport.

**WARNING** Not Disney Food LOL

Rootbeer

Sunrise Sampler - Scrambled Eggs, Hashbrowns, Bacon, Country Ham, Sausage, Biscuits, Fried Apples

Candy at the Store

Our flight was delayed by bad weather, left an hour late and we arrived an hour and 15 minutes late due to turbulence throughout the flight. By the time we arrived at Coronado Springs it was after 11 so my plan to go to DTD was shot. We ended up with a gourmet meal of McDonalds LOL which I did not take pictures of

But....I will give you pics of the Executive Suite!

Hash Browns, Kid's Mickey Waffle & Apple Juice

WOLFGANG PUCK EXPRESS

We decided to head to DTD around 10:30 and came upon our favorite counter service restaurant, Wolfgang Puck Express at about 11. We had a light lunch because we knew we had the Party for the Senses later and wanted to be prepared for it.

~*~ DAY 2 CONT'D~*~

SATURDAY OCTOBER 25th

PARTY FOR THE SENSES​

At 4:40pm we checked in at the podium at Showcase Lagoon. We were given wristbands, told the expected attendance tonight was about 950 and that the gates to World Showplace would open at 6pm. I headed to the gate at 4:50 and found about half a dozen guests there already.

By 5:30, there were easily 200 people waiting at the gates. By 6, there were likely 350 to 400. We were there early enough to be RIGHT at the front (I have a picture to prove it!)

We then made the mad dash to grab your wine glass & plate and rush into the 2nd holding area. We ended up about 3 people deep from the front. Let me tell you, when they call this the "Running of the Bulls" they aren't kidding! At 6:30 there was sheer insanity as easily 750 people surged forward, people took off like their life depended on getting a table and now I truly appreciate what many meant by the rudeness of guests! There was pushing, shoving, and all out war to grab any table anywhere. By the time I got 2/3rd of the way through the hall I sprinted with everything I had and pounced onto a table (when in rome do as the romans do!). It was nuts. I have no issues with people saving tables, but there really has to be a better system than that! We were at the very back, but actually loved the location, it was right beside a stage for entertainment.
