Paradise to the Treasure-A Polynesian/Eastern Caribbean/Spring Adventure 2025...Updated 8/20

[rndmr2]

Found your TR a few days ago and have enjoyed reading. I would love to go on a DCL cruise someday. I have been on many cruises but not DCL. I can't get past the much higher cost over other cruise lines but one of these days I'm just going to bite the bullet and do it, LOL.

Loved all the WDW stuff too, I love Flower and Garden, I've been there during that time a couple times. Love the topiaries! I used to love the Tea Garden in the UK area, glad to see they still have it.

We are going to be there Dec 10th to 17th. SO looking forward to going back and at Christmas. We haven't been to WDW since 2014!! Way too long. We did go in 2019 to DLP and 2022 to DL so I got my fix then, LOL.

I have always enjoyed your trips, and missed your reports when you stopped. So happy to see you back.
This was a really fun report, hope we hear from you again.

I will be down 10/21-10/27 staying at AKL, maybe we can meet up for a quick hello

Yes! For sure this time!

I think we'll be in DHS on 10/21, DS in the am and then MK on 10/22 (but later because we have Beak and Barrel and HEA fireworks party this night), and back to EPCOT on 10/23. Let me know where you'll be!

I think I am winding down my trips to Disney after my October trip! I’m debating renewing my AP.

Aw, that's so sad! But you've gotten a LOT of use out of it! You're not doing your December trip?

Thanks for writing all about The Treasure and your mother/daughter trip, I really enjoyed following along!

Thanks for reading! I hope you get to cruise someday!

Okay! Okay! You’ve convinced me!

Looks like I need to plan a trip! One of the very few places in the US I haven’t visited yet.

Well, maybe I shouldn't have been so convincing...that's a long journey for some pizza! Don't want to hype it too much or you'll for sure be let down!

Oh, dear! It happens so fast. We were on a kayak tour in HHI with another family and had our phones in lanyards. There was another family with us, and their Dad dropped his phone right as we were paddling back to the dock. I felt so terrible!

Yikes!

Being from Chicago, I am a snob about pizza for sure. I think we give CT a run for their money on that greatest pizza title!

Pizza Wars!

I would definitely love to try some authentic Chicago style pizza! I've always wanted to visit there anyway. You know what's absolutely terrible? I've been up and down the East Coast and have at least seen every state from here to FL. And I've flown to CA and HI, but besides that I have never been further west than New York/Pennsylvania. I really need to see some of the middle of the country!

I don't think I have ever left MCO on time!! But you had a pretty significant delay--ugh!!

Always! I was delayed in February too!

I enjoyed this report so much!! I am envious of all your upcoming trips! I do hope you'll write for some of them, and I'll enjoy following along on FB

Thanks for following along and commenting!

What a nice trip with Allie! I hate when delays like that happen going home. I would much prefer to sit in the hotel lobby or wander the boardwalk than sit at the gate!

Yes! That's was a long day! And kind of stressful because for a while we weren't even sure we were getting a plane and I was considering choosing another flight that had 1-2 seats left that was supposed to leave at 1 but then I hesitated and it was booked up anyway! I'm an anxious traveler in general and these kinds of things don't help!

I miss this sooooo much this time of year! It is the only food I miss from my QU days! New Haven gets such a bad rep, but it is a cute little city over in the Yale area.

I think New Haven is a really cute city too! Lots of good food down there and fairly safe as far as cities go. I work in Hartford and...ugh...driving home at 7:30pm is insane sometimes with all the motorcycle gangs or whatever these big groups of 20-30+ motorcycles are, and the marijuana smell coming in through my car vents. I am always so tense until I get through it! I'd choose New Haven any day over that! Seems like a lot of college students and pizza shops!

I hate to say it's worth it but it's worth it! Haha! Not that I have anything to compare it to but I just love DCL!

We are going to be there Dec 10th to 17th. SO looking forward to going back and at Christmas.

Nice! Where are you staying? There's NOTHING like Disney at Christmas!

We haven't been to WDW since 2014!!

Oh my goodness! This will be so exciting for you then! So much has changed!

We will be in MK on 10/22, we have a Beak and Barrel reservation that evening at 7pm. Are you doing the extra magic hours at MK that night if they have it? Hopefully we can meet up at MK!

Aw, that's so sad! But you've gotten a LOT of use out of it! You're not doing your December trip?

No December this year since Susan isn’t coming! I’m sad because this was getting to be an annual thing for us!

Oh my gosh! Our Beak and Barrel is that same night at 6:35! We’ll see you there!

Boo about no Susan and no December!!

I’ve driven 400 miles out of my way for ice cream, so…

And I’ve had Chicago deep dish pizza (Lou Malnati's), so can make a pretty good judgement.
Need to try NYC pizza though.
