Thank you!

How was that? I’ve never been tempted as it sounds too much like just a pop-tart.

Eh, it's kind of dry but I'm a sucker for the seasonal theming of them!

In the trunk???

. Maybe!

Really!
I’ve never had very good food there. Mediocre at best. Maybe things have changed.

Really?? We eat there a lot and always like it! It's pretty basic burgers and sandwiches though but we aren't fancy eaters!

I’d agree with that… and I even got a table!

Welp, there goes that theory then.

Following along looking forward to reading more.

Thanks for reading!

How cool to run in to Kari. I miss her dining reports

That was so funny! I miss them too! She was so funny!

Same! We actually have two parties booked for October, including the one during MNSSHP. We've never done that one but I think it will be nice to get off our feet for a bit.

I've done the party once and did enjoy it a lot. Not an every trip thing for me, and I'm usually riding the ride with low wait times during the shows.

You're a busy girl!

Now and then. Usually I'm a couch potato on my 3 days off. LOL!

OCTOBER 7, 2024
ALLIE'S SOGGY BIRTHDAY!


Hi everyone! We just passed the year mark of this hurricane trip and celebrated Allie's 22nd birthday this past week.
It was definitely more low key and not as soggy!

Before we get to October 7th I just wanted to go fill in a couple details I forgot about on October 6th, our Hollywood Studios day. When Allie and I were on a walk on her birthday we were talking about this trip and she was telling me that while we were at Sci-Fi she had gotten a notification from Southwest about their flight. Her and Clay were supposed to fly home on October 9th but while they were sitting having lunch, Allie was able to their flight to October 10th...you'll see how that worked out






As the days went on and with the talk of the hurricane becoming more imminent, Clay was getting kind of stressed about it. For some reason I wasn't that nervous, probably because I've seen in trip reports and you tube videos how Disney has handled past hurricanes so I wasn't too concerned for our safety. Allie told Clay that I am a worrier so if I wasn't worried he shouldn't be. What I was more concerned about was the poor cast members who have homes down there. It became a frequent topic of discussion with them asking how they felt about Milton. Many of them told us that they would be on the storm ride-out team which means they stay and work throughout the storm and a lot of them expressed that they felt safer here than they would be at home. Still must be so stressful for them to be at work and worrying about their homes.

We still had a couple of hurricane free days to get through since Milton was projected to hit on the 9th
and we are up to the 7th...Allie's 21st Birthday!

Of course I had gotten up and put up a Facebook post for her that morning


Allie, Clay, Mike and I were up and ready early to rope drop EPCOT...


It was another soggy day...

But what can ya do? We just threw on ponchos and made the best of it.
I do think of all the parks to be in in the rain, EPCOT is the hardest because it's so huge and fairly uncovered,
whereas Hollywood Studios is small with many places to duck into in the rain.

We first headed to Remy's...


Then over to Allie's favorite breakfast place, Les Halles where we were lucky enough to find a table ...


A stop for a soggy pic in France,


And then Allie, Clay and I headed off to Guardians...


I have no idea at this point what song we got or where Mike went while we rode!

Allie's birthday continued in next post...
