Springtime is the Best Time- Flower & Garden, a taste of Dapper Days and Earth Day -April 2024- Side Trip to Epic Opening Day

I have to close for now. "Call the Midwife" is calling me to my TV.

I love this show. I will have to see if there are seasons I have not seen yet. I was going between Netflix and YouTube TV for a bit but now we have Hulu so I have to see if I can watch it on Hulu.

I was a late comer, but enjoying it now. I watch it on YouTube TV on PBS.

We eat at Tusker House on most trips, and I have never noticed that detail! I love it!

Before going into FOTLK we saw Pluto cruising on the water. I don't think they do this anymore.

I really liked the boats going by with different characters on them. I also enjoyed the one with the band. It was just a little extra fun while you're wandering over the bridges.

We had to ride Dinosaur. This is one of Danielle's favorites as you can tell in our photo. She's still salty that it closed.

Jimmy's favorite, too! He has not stopped griping about the changes coming LOL.

While we were on the train we got the notification that our wait for Nomads was ready. We had to let it go. I still have not made it to Nomads.

Oh, no! Truth be told, I've never made it either!

If Danielle had not shown us I would never have spotted it.

I love the pop of characters too. I enjoyed the band too. I'm surprised we didn't see them.

Jimmy's favorite, too! He has not stopped griping about the changes coming LOL.

I miss the music in Dinoland. It was so fun.

Oh, no! Truth be told, I've never made it either!

Join the club. I'm so happy I'm not the only one anymore.

I wanted to give an update on Danielle.

She started at Coral Reef on Sunday and has only worked 2 days but so far she really likes it. She flew to Puerto Rico today for a vacation that was planned well before she got the news she was transferring. She is training right now and learning all he positions. The first 2 days was seating. She was able to pull from her prior work at Cinderella's Royal Table and many years working at a restaurant here. She said everyone has been great so far and very welcoming. It's a very small work family compared to Festivals. She met with her proprietor, who is also the proprietor of GEO82. She will be cross training there too sometime in the future. They cover shifts for each other when leaders are on vacation. She's really looking forward to doing that. We enjoyed our time there in December so much.

We're in the middle of birthday week. Gabriel turned 3 yesterday and JP tuns 9 on Friday. Where has the time gone? We're also still making plans for the June trip and planning outfits. I think I'm actually enjoying having more time between trips to really plan. There is going to be so many new things to experience when we go. That doesn't mean I want to wait another 6 months or so to take my next trip. I have an AP that needs to get used.

No sure how she's going to feel about the fact that it's all late shifts. Coral Reef is no longer open for lunch, just dinner.

I suppose at least she has the mornings free but yeah I’d imagine that’s a bit of a bummer to be all lates.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you at that difficult time.

She started at Coral Reef on Sunday and has only worked 2 days but so far she really likes it.

Good to hear.

She met with her proprietor, who is also the proprietor of GEO82.

Hopefully that will provide Danielle with the chance of some day shifts down the line

We're in the middle of birthday week

Happy Birthday to the boys

I think I'm actually enjoying having more time between trips to really plan.

I look forward to seeing all your outfits.

That doesn't mean I want to wait another 6 months or so to take my next trip. I have an AP that needs to get used.

Gotta get your monies worth out of those passes!

I'm worried about her getting tired of this. It will work well for not being an early rier.

Hopefully that will provide Danielle with the chance of some day shifts down the line

That was my hope too.

Happy Birthday to the boys

Thank you!

I look forward to seeing all your outfits.

Believe it or not, I'm toning it down and plan to reuse some past outfits. Michelle is the master planner.

Gotta get your monies worth out of those passes!

Absolutely!

Good!

She flew to Puerto Rico today

Ah! Saw a cryptic post of suitcases on IG. Wondered where they were off to.

She was able to pull from her prior work at Cinderella's Royal Table and many years working at a restaurant here.

Experience matters.

She said everyone has been great so far and very welcoming.

That's great.

She met with her proprietor,

GEO82. She will be cross training there too sometime in the future.

Oh! That's cool. I'd only just heard about this place, recently.

We're in the middle of birthday week. Gabriel turned 3 yesterday and JP tuns 9 on Friday.

How can this be?!?!? JP was just 3 last week!

I think I'm actually enjoying having more time between trips to really plan.

Just imagine how much time to plan I have!

That doesn't mean I want to wait another 6 months or so to take my next trip. I have an AP that needs to get used.

Yes indeedy!

 

[Steppesister]

And that's one of the reasons we read trip reports, to find new and exciting things to do and share.

Exactly!

That's a really good point. Since we'll have the kids in June, I'm sure we'll try to ride.

Perfect one for littles!

And decrepit bigs like me.

I've never seen "Boat Safety Card" but that sure sounds cool.

It was definitely a new one for me. I don't collect, but it was fun to see they exist and pass the info along to readers who might have little ones.

And that's why we keep going back. Something is always changing.

For sure!! So many new things still to see or do.

Thank you! Today was her first day. She's in training for all positions for the first few weeks. I'm waiting to hear how it went.

Loved the update and it sounds like she's doing well. How fun that she can sometimes go to GEO!

I've missed so many magnets. I can't remember the last time I got one in the mail.

Yeah, this. I am hoping I get one of them in the mail.

This was also Animal Kingdom's Birthday and Earth Day.

Oh nice!!! I was there one year with Kari on Earth Day.

ham & cheese croissant.

My go-to as well. Had one this last trip too.

Winged Encounters in Asia. This isn't a must do for me every trip, but I do enjoy seeing it every other trip or so.

Agreed. Once every few trips for me.

We did enjoy a little bit of Tam Tam Drummers.

Love me some Tam Tam!!! I could dance all day with them!

Before going into FOTLK we saw Pluto cruising on the water. I don't think they do this anymore.

No, they certainly don't.

We had to let it go. I still have not made it to Nomads.

That must've been a hare one to say good-bye to!

I love this photo!

Ah! Saw a cryptic post of suitcases on IG. Wondered where they were off to.

She has been very busy lately. This was one of the reasons a trip there for me didn't make sense.

Experience matters.

It has helped her confidence.

Oh! That's cool. I'd only just heard about this place, recently.

She's real excited about working there too.

How can this be?!?!? JP was just 3 last week!

I know! It has gone by so fast!

Just imagine how much time to plan I have!

I hope you're making lists of all the things.

 

[vamassey1]

Perfect one for littles!

Yes it is!

And decrepit bigs like me.

and me!

Loved the update and it sounds like she's doing well. How fun that she can sometimes go to GEO!

Thank you! She's real excited to have GEO to look forward to.

Oh nice!!! I was there one year with Kari on Earth Day.

It's a really neat day.

My go-to as well. Had one this last trip too.

We have similar tastes.

Love me some Tam Tam!!! I could dance all day with them!

We have to stop if we see them.

No, they certainly don't.

And that makes me sad.

That must've been a hare one to say good-bye to!

It really was.

I love this photo!

Thank you!

I'm wondering if it will change when we see it next month with the Bluey layover.

 

[pkondz]

She's real excited about working there too.

Good!

hope you're making lists of all the things.

Not yet. There’ll be a whole new slew of things!
