PS - The alligator rocked!!
Oh, I'm looking forward to checking out the Festival of the Arts when we go in January! The food looks pretty good, maybe better than Food and Wine?
Looks like you had a nice, relaxing pace to your day! I've never eaten at Liberty Tree... maybe should add that to the list... hmm.
Enjoyed your update!
Oooh, awesome idea! I may have to copy that if they have the cookie and chocolate flight in February!
Only in Disney is this a good thing.
Still have never seen her.
That is one thing we have. Winnipeg gets on average 316 sunny days a year.
Google it if you don't believe me.
I don't know why, but Epcot seems to always have the longest bag check lines of all the parks.
What is that wall? It looks like a wall that's just recently had a bunch of flyers and bills removed from it.
Those shots are so fun. I've seen a few on other TRs.
My fave was one where the Dad had the baby in a front carrier and was holding his ears for "The scream".
Blech! That looks horrible!
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Now that is really clever. I really like that. I presume the brush was also chocolate?
Ah yes. The dreaded blue food allergy.
For some reason, the video won't play. It says it's not allowed in my country.
We're part of the commonwealth! What the heck?
But I did find another source.![]()
But of course. One does not undo a towel animal. It is simply not done.
"Lady? Your kid's a dog."
Really! Outside the park. Huh!
What were they thinking with that meat in the bag?!? I mean they could have done a lot to make it better looking. Especially if it actually tasted good.
That is funny! Good on you for trying it, and you even loved it! You win on that one.![]()
I never think about until we are there, and I always wonder how they would address someone from England. Of course I knew it would be pleasant but still wondered - thanks!
As always, your report continues to rock - loving it!
Joining in!
What a great trip so far! You and your boyfriends humor reminds me a lot of my DH and I! No fun in life if you take it too seriously!
That meat in the bag, wow lol what poor planning on Disneys part! Glad you enjoyed it though!
I would love to make it to the Festival of the Arts at some point, it looks super fun!
I don't recall if I've ever eaten at Liberty Tree Tavern before but that "ooey gooey toffee cake" makes me want to make a reservation for sure.
KATIE!!! I'm a bad, bad DISer! I totally thought I had commented on your TR before now but apparently I haven't?!

But I'm officially joining in now!![]()

(p.s I miss our Fuller House Club! @Leshaface @HomeSweetDisney)
Wonderful updates! Your interaction/guest comment story at LTT cracked me up! LOL!!
"Yay for dog poop."

Maybe they only clap and cheer for people from England! I've been there when they announced people from various US states, and I didn't observe any clapping or cheering. They could be over-compensating to show that our countries are good friends now....
Yeah, let's re-start the Fuller House fan club!
Maybe I missed something... you're going back in February? Where are you staying next time?
You are seriously missing out on the legend that is Stacey.

I don't think we had the drawers open on us but I do remember having to close them in a certain order to get them to close all the way one time.Sometimes all of our drawers would slide open all by themselves
Maybe our room was slightly slanted.
Or maybe we had too much stuff in the drawers.
Or maybe we had a demon.
Or maybe all of the above.
WHO KNOWS
Best name for a burger!We shared a clogger burger and some fried chicken from Cletus’ Chicken Shack![]()
Ha! Too funny!We also spotted someone sat on someone’s shoulders whilst wearing a robe, and they looked like a ginormous human

These were my daughters favorite the last time we stayed at Wilderness Lodge. She had one everyone morning.MAPLE BACON DONUT.

Right?! There is nothing better than waking up naturally at 7am at Disney and actually feeling fresh and alive![]()

It looks beautiful I want to live there!![]()
We didn't do it, but I think it starts off blank but gridded with a number in each square, and people are given a paint pot and are told a number to fill in.. So they might be given a red paint pot and told to fill in four squares labeled as number 9, and by the end of the day (or within a few hours?) it makes a picture! There are loads of different ones but for example:

It's not actually, but it's a souvenir if you're as insane as I am![]()
It's just so unnatural looking, it makes my face feel funny to think about eating the blue icingDo you remember those Anna and Elsa cupcakes they did? They look like my idea of hell
![]()
...why have I just posed these on my trip report![]()
We ended up with a bunch that we refused to undo![]()

The Uber driver arrived, and he called Jamie HYMIE!
YAAAY!
You can only buy a two-week ticket from the UK, and since we only wanted to spend one day here this year, we would save money by getting tickets at the gate.
VOODOO DONUTS – OPENING SOON!
And it was the first day we’d both worn t-shirts and shorts, with no easy access back to the hotel![]()
When we were loading into the ride I slipped on someone’s exploded strawberry yoghurt carton that was all over the floor and almost did the splits.
It was harrowing.
But the yoghurt smelled good so I suppose that’s something.
After the ride we exited into the Minion dance party area, and there was a tiny little minion at the photo opportunity area!
It must’ve been someone with some kind of dwarfism I’m sure, it was a very sweet little minion costume![]()
Jamie forgot about the super-harsh braking and didn’t brace himself and hurt his tailbone![]()
We shared a clogger burger and some fried chicken from Cletus’ Chicken Shack![]()
Next we rode Men In Black, and Jamie scored a PITIFUL 40,000
I don’t have a picture of our scores (maybe Jamie deleted it out of shame) but I know that I won

After our coffees we wondered around Diagon Alley.
On the way out of Diagon Alley we took this picture of Jamie in front of 11 Grimmauld Place to annoy our friend Rob, who is a Harry Potter super-fan!
(Number 12 is the notable house as it belongs to Serius Black; number 11 next door is just a regular house)
The Simpson’s throw some shade at Disney![]()
It’s so much fun if you love dogs, or just animals in general.
The best part of the show is getting to pet the puppers at the end!
We recently had American friends stay with us for the week, who were very concerned when we used the phrase “stroke the dog”.
That’s what we say here in the UK, but apparently it means something very different in the USA…??!
So in this trip report…
We pet the dog.
I’m sure one time when I met Rafiki at Animal Kingdom I commented on his fur, asking him if I could stroke him.
YAY for ET, even though I don’t think he said goodbye to us at the end.
It’s annoying me how much time and money Universal are investing in new rides that are ALL just 3D motion simulator rides.
So after complaining about everything being so samey…
We went to ride Men In Black again!
Sorry to the guy we walked past on the left here

After our trip to the vaults we rode Men In Black again
We also spotted someone sat on someone’s shoulders whilst wearing a robe, and they looked like a ginormous human

We ordered an Uber, and our driver was already sat right next to us!
Magical.
I ordered a Diet Coke and Jamie got a vanilla milkshake![]()
I don’t know how he does that.
To me that’s like having a dessert before your meal![]()
During the meal Jamie ordered another milkshake, this time chocolate!
What a guy![]()
As we took our mugs downstairs to refill there was some water left in his, and as he swung his arm it made a ‘gulp’ noise.
So he tried to recreate the noise a couple of times, and obviously (accidentally) just threw water everywhere.
They did clap as well for us from "the territory of Alabama". I am from Texas but it's cool![]()
Wait...wait...what?? Am I understanding that @pkondz has never seen Stacey!?? OMG really?? Our cat's full name is Stacey J. Aswad, named after the Must-Do Disney Legend, herself!
I don't think we had the drawers open on us but I do remember having to close them in a certain order to get them to close all the way one time.

These were my daughters favorite the last time we stayed at Wilderness Lodge. She had one everyone morning.
So... What's with the cash? Did you put it there to tip mousekeeping? Or?
Besides... Obvious poltergeist. Look at those shoes. No one does that on holidays.
Very good choice for an accessory. Even if it's empty.
I just got mine and DD's tix. Bought two days and got two days free.
How was the fried chicken? Recommend?
That place looks amazing. Can't wait to see it next year.
Agreed. One is fine. Maybe two... Maybe.
But that's it!!
This sounds way too complicated.
Uhh... not the best Marilyn impersonator I've seen.
Yes it was for mousekeeping! We left a note so they knew it was for them![]()
The demon arranged our shoes, truly haunting![]()
Universal is so expensive!
but I bet a lot of people opt not to go because of the price of two parks that can be done in two days![]()
I think it was fine but nothing special! A good protein fix when you're on the go![]()
Have you never been?!
I KNOW. I'd rather a slow, dark ride over even more motion simulator rides at Universal. But ideally more track rides like The Mummy!
It was bad, do not recommend![]()
I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to be mean![]()
