Hi everybody, we hope you are all managing to do well, and surviving these crazy times. We have been wrapped up in remodeling our only bathroom in our house, so that has been taking up most of our spare time, but we will go through pictures and post about our next trip day soon. It was a good one, and started with an early tour at Epcot. At home the bathroom is coming along very nicely, and we did add a rain shower in the ceiling based totally on our experience with the ones at Copper Creek. It will be another way of bringing a bit of DIsney into our house. Now we just gotta finish tiling the wall...
My goal today is to break out the sewing machine, pull out the box of old quilt fabric, find my cutting board and cutting wheel, and make a few masks for DH and our son. I found a package of 1/4 inch elastic, so now I don't have a reason to procrastinate any longer. My sister made a mask for me and that is what I have been wearing to go to the grocery store. But I could use another one. Almost everyone around here wears a face mask in the stores. You almost feel like a criminal if you don't have one.
Hopefully the mask sewing was a success. Here they are required in public by the health department, although the police have said they won't be writing tickets for lack of masks. Our stores have signs that masks are required to enter, so we go with it. I really like that mine have Lightning McQueen on them.
My sister and her husband lived in Singapore for a few years and he ate lunch at Burger King every day. I am a little afraid of Indian food and probably shouldn't be. The butter chicken sounds good.
I actually ate a lot of the local food in India and found it to be quite good. I'd say it is more flovorful than spicy, but there is a lot of similarity in the flavors and they are different than we are used to. I did miss my cheeseburgers after a few days though.
The first time we went to AKL we got off at the Kidani stop by mistake. We took the boring outside sidewalk back to Jambo house. The interior hallways sound more interesting.
I am impressed with how many activities they have at AKL. The CMs all seem really nice, too.
We enjoy exploring both parts of AKL, and this was the first time we walked between them inside for most of the way. The rest of the walk is through the parking lot, but at least we were inside for most of it. The CMs there really do seem to go above and beyond, and it really feels like you are somewhere else.
That ice cream cone looks delicious. There aren't enough places to get ice cream cones in WDW. I'll have to check this one out.
We agree! The big ice cream shops int he parks get so crowded, and it is nice to find ice cream cones at smaller booths. This one was really good, and we enjoyed the ones from the booth by Tower of Terror earlier in the trip.
I love how AK looks at sunset and when it is dark out. It has an eerie beauty. It feels like I am in another land.
It really does emphasize the beauty of nature. On a related topic, we have been following some of Joe Rohde's instagram posts about hidden details in AK. He did some amazing things there to make it special.
Those popcorn buckets were one of Disney's best ideas. Popcorn is a great snack, especially for kids.
We love popcorn at
DIsneyland, but often didn't get it when it was hot in September. We really enjoyed it more with the cooler weather in February.
They did a great job with the face paint. Allie must have been very happy with it.
She loved it. I questioned doing it so late in the day, but it was fun and special.
How did you manage to carry all those prizes?
The backpack was getting pretty full, and we had to think about getting them home too. Fortunately most of the prizes were pretty small.
I don't like Dinosaur, either. The dark parts feel claustrophobic to me.
Interestingly enough Melissa doesn't like Indiana Jones either, so I think it has something to do with the ride mechanism.
It sounds like a fun evening. Would you do it again if you had a chance?
Absolutely. It had a neat feel to it, and free Disney food is something I'll sign up for any time.
I had fallen behind, so trying to catch up on all my reading!
That's ok, it is nice to take a break from everything and read about Disney when you get a chance.
Looks like you had a nice “lazy” Tuesday morning. I still haven’t ever taken boat transport at WDW, so I really gotta get on that next trip. I love that you guys make note of the types of boats, so when I finally do ride them I'll feel like an expert!
Wow, yes you have to ride the boats at WDW. There are so many different kinds and they are a fun way to go different places. I think we rode 7 different types of boats in this trip.
Funny enough… I think I know the guy in the red hat in your people mover pictures. Like… it really looks like a guy a know and he may have been in Orlando at the same time as you guys for a work thing. He manages a ventilator and oxygen concentrator repair shop, a super essential job these days.
I have wondered if some thing like that would happen. With all the random people in the backgrounds of pictures I've been waiting for someone to see themselves or someone they know.
Sanaa is definitely on my list for my sisters trip that I have plans for rolling around in my head. That bread service looks sooooo good.
It was great, and the whole restaurant was really nice. They had something for everybody, and a great view.
Your Moonlight Magic event looks like it was wonderful! I don’t know if I’ll ever end up with DVC, but those events seem like a great perk I you can make it work. And the glowing face paint is cool enough I would consider getting some myself…
Yeah, the extra events are a nice perk of DVC, but they are surprisingly popular and hard to get into. That is one surprise I've had about DVC, the special events are super popular and harder to get into than I thought. The accomodations are awesome though, and we love knowing that we'll be back to WDW. The glowing face paint was neat, and it would be cool if they offered a family discount...
