We also have a vlog, KABI Treks that keeps us busy. We just recently completed our last cruise on The Wonder back in September and I wrote a trip report about that adventure. Here is a photo us from that trip

Travel Day

Let's get this trip started! When planning for this trip, we originally were going to fly in the day before, maybe do Disney Springs the night before. But, since it had been over 2 years since we last visited the World, we decided to add a couple of days in the parks before we got on the ship. Both DH and I worked our shifts on Wednesday and then my FIL dropped us off at the airport. We dropped off our luggage and then realized that DH's ticket didn't have his TSA precheck on it. The line to speak with a gate agent was super long, and security was less than 5 minutes, so we skipped precheck and just went with good old standby.

After security, we located our gate and decided to grab dinner, we just went with Wendy's. Burgers and fries were hot and fresh, I didn't take any photos because it's Wendy's. We then camped out at our gate until it was time to board our plane. Our flight was uneventful, I was hoping to take a nap but wasn't successful.

We arrived at MCO a little after 11pm, picked up our bags and grabbed a ride share to our home for the next 3 nights, Caribbean Beach! I had received the text with our room number while we were in the air so once we were dropped off, we headed straight to our room. We were in a preferred room and were given room 2460 in Martinique. We were in building 24 which was the furthest building from Port Royale, at first glance, I was a little disappointed, however, we learned later that this was a great location, but more on that later. It was after midnight when we arrived at the resort, and we planned to rope drop Magic Kingdom the next morning. So, I took a couple of quick photos of the room


Gotta love the towel animal Mickey! We basically unpacked the bare minimum, found our pajamas and unpacked our toiletries. And then it was off to bed for a few hours before our alarms would go off.

Up Next: We're finally back home!

We're Home, Part 1

Both DH and I managed to fall asleep pretty quickly, but before we knew it, the alarm was going off and it was time to get ready. Our first stop was Old Point Royale to grab some breakfast. We got there about 6:45 and found out that nothing opened until 7:00, they didn't even have the menus up on the boards yet. I was a little surprised because it was marathon weekend, and that was the morning of the 5k, there were runners milling around that had finished the race, but there were no options for food yet. We went on the app to figure out what we wanted and once the registers opened, we ordered our breakfast.

I did a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich and it came with potatoes on the side. DH went with the ham and cheese omelet which also came with a side of potatoes. Not pictured is my latte, running on only a few hours of sleep, I was desperate for some caffeine! I really enjoyed my bagel sandwich, the bagel was toasted, but still soft and the potatoes were very good. DH said his omelet was your standard, but he liked it, he thought his potatoes were a little bland, but once he added some salt, they tasted better.

After breakfast, we headed to the bus stop at Old Point Royale, there were a couple of other families there, but no problems boarding the bus and getting a seat. The bus made a couple of other stops and then we were off to Magic Kingdom! Once there, we made it through security and before we knew it, we were looking at this beauty!

Our last trip to Magic Kingdom was September 2022 and it felt so good to be back! We decided to use our early entry to ride Seven Dwarves Mine Train, we figured most everyone would head to Tron, and we had a lightening lane to use later, but this would probably be our best time to ride Mine Train. We were able to get as far as the Cheshire Cafe before we were stopped.

This was about 8am, at 8:30, they let us go and then the chaos began! Okay, it wasn't that bad, but rope drop is always interesting to experience. We made it over to Mine Train, we were held up for a few minutes but were soon making our way through the queue. We were in line for about 15 minutes before it was our time to ride. We got the back row, which was a first for us, I'm definitely a back row rider, I love the back row and will take it any time over the front.

I will mention that DH is a little obsessed with searching for Hidden Mickey's, we actually had the pleasure of meeting up with Steve Barrett (who writes the Hidden Mickey books) at Hollywood Studios back in 2020. There is an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in the mining scene of the ride, but neither of us is ever able to find it, still couldn't find it on this ride. There was also another one in the exit queue that we couldn't find either. Oh well, guess, we'll have to book another trip to Disney!

After Mine Train, we made a quick bee line to another one of my favorites, Peter Pan's Flight. I don't know what it is, but there is something so magical about this ride to me. The line was posted at 25 minutes, but it was about 19 minutes. We had a good laugh in line, a woman with her young son was behind us and he was absolutely terrified to ride, the mom was telling him how he rode Slinky Dog the day before and this was nothing compared to that. Throughout the whole queue, the boy was pretty scared and crying, but as we get to Darling home and we see the portraits of the Darlings, the mom is listing off the Darling children, "That's Wendy, and Michael...and I can't remember the other son" to which DH quips, "Tom". The mom is like, "Tom" and then is like, "wait a minute, is it Tom". To which, I'm like, "no, it's John, my DH just likes to mess with people". A few people around us heard this exchange and laughed and the little boy thought this was really funny and he didn't seem upset to ride anymore. Soon we were on our way to Neverland and saying hello to the mermaids

It was then time to leave Fantasyland and head to Tomorrowland, along our way, we passed this lovely sight

The Cast Member was in the midst of drawing another character, but we were on a mission and didn't have time to stay. Our next stop

It was time to explore Space Mountain, posted wait time was 20 minutes, but we got through the queue in 15 minutes. We then headed to our battle stations with Buzz

DH proudly was a Galactic Hero, scoring 999,999, my score was pretty pathetic, I was a Space Ace with 323,600. When we came off of Buzz, we found the crowds, the line was now at 25 minutes and extended outside.

We decided that it was time to cross the hub and head over to Adventureland, along the way, we stopped for a snack

Cheeseburger Spring rolls!! The babies are so yummy! DH and I each had one and pretty much scarfed them in a couple of bites. After our quick snack, we headed to the Jungle Cruise, this is probably DH's favorite attraction, corny jokes and puns are his MO. The wait time was posted at 25 minutes, but shortly after we got in line it went to 30 and by the time we got into our boat, we had been in line for 40 minutes. Our skipper was Molly, and she was very entertaining!
As we were on the ride, we came to a stop in the elephant pool, there was quite a backup, and it was almost 15 minutes until we were finally back at the dock, not sure what the holdup was, but Molly was fantastic and kept us rolling in puns. Since we were celebrating my birthday, I was also serenaded with the birthday song. We had been hoping to ride Pirates, but between the longer than expected wait time and our delay in getting off the ride, our lightening lane for Tron had opened up, so it was time to head back to Tomorrowland!

Up Next: Finally, we get to ride Tron!

We're Home, Part 2

Leaving Adventureland, it was now time for us to finally ride Tron with our lightening lane! This was a first for us, Tron was in the process of being built on our last visit, so to finally make that work toward the ride was just amazing. The standby wait time was 65 minutes, but we were able to walk right past and scan our bands and head inside. I was amazed with the preshow area, I loved how one second you were looking at the preshow and the next, you were able to see into the ride queue. Once we got into our queue, we snapped a quick picture

I was very excited to ride Tron, but I'm not going to lie, as a plus size person, I was also very nervous about my ability to fit. I wanted to try the test vehicles when we first entered, but there were kids playing on them which was a little frustrating. I knew that I could ride in the cars in the back if needed, but was worried about the "walk of shame". Thankfully, even with my thick sweatshirt on, I had no problems and still had plenty of room. We soon took off and man, Tron was so much fun, we both loved it! The only thing I disliked was that it was so short, I only wish it was longer.

This photo just makes me laugh, but you can tell we were having such a good time! After Tron, it was time to cross the hub again because our virtual queue for Tiana's Bayou was now open (yes, we were crisscrossing the park over and over again, we were really getting our steps in)!

The first thing we noticed was how green everything was, it was very pretty! I also really enjoyed the queue, I loved all of the different scenes, especially Tiana's kitchen and her beignets

Before we knew it, it was our time to ride!

I just love the water tower! Before we knew it, we had splashed down into Tiana's party

Happy to see Lottie!

Hello, Mama Odie! It was a little chilly this day, only a high of 51, so I was a little worried about getting really wet. Almost everyone else in line was wearing ponchos, we took our chances and thankfully didn't get that wet. The Princess and the Frog is one of my favorites, so I loved the overlay, I feel that it really captured the movie, and all of the characters were represented. After Tiana's, our next lightening lane was now open

I love me some Haunted Mansion! It was also our first time seeing the Hatbox Ghost. At this point, we were able to start booking other lightening lanes. Some of the more popular rides didn't have availability until later in the day, so I grabbed an upcoming one for Small World, but first we had to get to our lightening lane for Pirates. After Pirates, we were getting pretty hungry, we didn't want a large meal because we had an early dinner coming up, but we needed something to snack on. So, while we were walking back to Fantasyland and Small World, we stopped at the Golden Oak Outpost to split a couple of things.

This was the Shrimp Gumbo with Sweet Potato Fries. I'm not a huge fan of gumbo, so it wasn't really my thing, but the couple pieces of shrimp I tried were very tasty and I really enjoyed the sweet potato fries. DH thought they were both very good and I think he was secretly glad that I wasn't a fan of the gumbo so he could eat it all to himself!

And of course, we had to get an order of beignets! I thought these were delicious! I'd never had honey with beignets before and I really loved them! DH wasn't as impressed with them, but he still ate his share

Up next: Our day continues

 

[Kari0180]

We're Home, part 3

After our snack, it was time to experience more attractions! First up, a ride on the happiest cruise in that ever sailed

I really enjoy Small World, but I dislike that the attraction backs up and it feels like forever before you get off. On this occasion we were waiting to get out of our boat when 2:30 struck and we got to see the little clock show (I don't know what else to call it)

Small World accomplished, I booked us another lightening lane and we headed over to Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid.

DH was a little disappointed that we weren't going through the regular queue because of his favorite hidden Mickey's is there. So, once we were done, he headed back in the standby queue so he could take a look. This queue actually contains one of the best hidden Mickey's, but it can only be viewed at a certain time on November 18th and only for a few minutes. We were lucky enough to view it a few years ago and it was pretty cool! Because it wouldn't be a proper day at Magic Kingdom if we didn't keep crossing the park, we once again crossed the hub and it was time to ride Tiana's again, this time with our lightning lane. The line was completely different this time around, where we waited about 30 minutes earlier, this time both the lightning lane and virtual queue were empty, we walked right up to the front where a cast member asked where we wanted to sit, DH quickly said "front row" which instantly made me panic, we were about to head to our dinner reservation and I didn't want to get soaked and then head to dinner. The cast member must've seen my concern because he told me he wouldn't make the boat to heavy so we wouldn't get that wet. We wound up having the boat all to ourselves which made me even more nervous, so I took as much precaution as I could
Yes, I know that I went a little overboard, but it was a chilly day, and I really didn't want to show up to dinner all wet. Thankfully, the cast member was very kind to us, and we just got a little splashed, even less than our first ride. It was getting close to our dining reservation, and we needed to head out of Magic Kingdom, we got lucky and saw the Walt Disney Railway pull into the station. We grabbed a seat and took a nice, scenic ride to the Main Street station. Once there, we took a photo in front of the Christmas tree

And with that, it was time to bid Magic Kingdom farewell for the time being. We exited the park and headed to the boats, where were we headed? We hopped on a boat and headed to Wilderness Lodge and dinner at Artist Point. I've been waiting forever to eat here, we had dinner reservations booked back in 2020, but we all know what happened then. I was really excited that I was able to snag us a reservation. We were escorted to our table quickly, where our server took our drink orders. She also explained to us that Snow White, Grumpy, and Dopey would be around to greet us at our table, but we would receive an invitation to meet with the Evil Queen. Pretty soon, our appetizer platter had arrived.

First up was the smoky mushroom bisque. This was a very small portion, but it was so yummy, I only wish that there was more! We also enjoyed

The Hunter's Harvest, which was at turkey and chicken meatball with sauerkraut with a cranberry sauce, this was also very good. Our last appetizer was

This was the Wicked Shrimp cocktail served with a bloody mary sauce. I really liked the bloody mary sauce and the shrimp was very good too! I also ordered a drink with dinner

This was A Brew of Peaches. I enjoyed it, but it was a little strong for me.

Up Next: Dinner, dwarves, and more Magic Kingdom

It's funny, no matter how hard you try to keep from criss-crossing MK, you always end up doing it anyway!

We never intend to criss-cross so much at MK, but every vacation, that's what we wind up doing, oh well, it's a great way to get some exercise!

I hope that you enjoy your trip on the Treasure, honestly, we had such an amazing time, I miss being on the ship so much!

 

[Kari0180]

We're home, part 4

I meant to follow up right away about our dinner, but the last few days have been a little chaotic!

For our entrees, I went with Cottage Beef Stroganoff

This was beef, spätzle, and mushrooms with "preserved vegetables and parmesan cheese. I really enjoyed the stroganoff, I love spätzle, so I was very excited about that. The vegetables were kind of weird, they weren't fully cooked, and they weren't raw, and they had a strange tasting dressing to them and the parmesan cheese just didn't belong, but I still enjoyed it.

DH went with the Royal Prime Rib Roast and really liked this! He said the prime rib had a great flavor and was cooked very well, he also enjoyed the carrots and the mashed potatoes. His meal also came with a popover, which is one of my favorite things in the world. DH was nice enough and let me have some of it, it needed some honey butter (IYKYK) but was still good.

While we were eating, the characters started coming around, first up was Dopey

Next, Grumpy made a visit

Grumpy was awesome! This might've been my favorite character interaction ever! The characters wound up coming by a couple of times and while we were eating dessert, Grumpy let us know that he never gets dessert, DH offered him some of ours, but he said no. I told him I would talk to the powers that be to let him have dessert and he made me pinky promise! After Grumpy, Snow White showed up.

She asked us if Grumpy tried to smile for us, we told her we got a small smile which made her very happy! At some point during our meal, Snow, Dopey, and Grumpy did a little dance around the dining room, it was cute! Soon it was time for dessert, and once again, a variety of desserts were placed in front of us

This was the "Poison Apple", don't worry, our server told us it was only 30% poisonous. The Fairytale Gooseberry Tart and the Miner's Treasure. We both enjoyed all of the desserts, DH liked the poison apple the best, my favorite was the miner's treasure, loved that cookies and cream panna cotta!

Our server also presented us with these chocolate truffle hearts, it was quite the presentation! After we finished our meal and settled our check, we received this on our table

It was time to meet the Evil Queen, and I don't know where they found their Evil Queen, but she was amazing!

We had a great interaction with her and as you can tell in the photo, DH and I couldn't stop laughing! This was one of the best character meals we've ever done, the interactions were fantastic, and we really enjoyed the food!

Dinner soon came to a close and it was time to head out, MK was open until 10pm and we still had a few hours left, so we boarded a boat and headed back to the park.

Up Next: Closing out MK

 

[Kari0180]

We're Home, part 5

As we left Wilderness Lodge, we watched the sun set over the lagoon. By the time we arrived back at MK, the sun had set and we got some lovely photos with the lights

I loved that there were still some Christmas decorations up and that the tree was still up

Walking back down Main Street, we took in the castle

Before we left for dinner, I had booked us a lightening lane for Space Mountain, as we headed toward that, I begged DH to ride the People Mover first. We had about a 10-minute wait before we were seated for our trip around Tomorrowland, where DH pretended to take a nap

I miss the days before the People Mover got really popular and you could just ride over and over again without getting off. Those days are now gone. It was then time for our Space Mountain lightening lane. After we rode Space, we headed back to the hub to find a spot for the fireworks

We wound up with a pretty decent spot and soon it was time for the show!




I was very happy when I heard that the Happily Ever After Fireworks were returning. I love the soundtrack! I've hit my photo limit so more to come...

 

[Kari0180]

We're Home, part 6

After Happily Ever After, we still had some time in the park, so we wanted to make the most of it. We wanted to ride Haunted Mansion again, so we started making our way there. Along the way, we walked past Pooh, it said it was a 35-minute wait, but the queue was empty, so we hopped on for a quick ride around the 100-acre wood.

As we got off the ride, the queue was much longer and was probably now at least a 35-minute wait, we timed that out right! We then made our way over to Mickey's Philharmagic, we really lucked out because they opened the doors just as we walked inside, another attraction with no wait, score! I love the addition of Coco to this show! Back on track toward Haunted Mansion, we walked past the Tangled bathrooms all lit up for the night

I love this area; I'm obsessed with Tangled and Rapunzel! I saw the photo pass experience with one of the lanterns and I really wanted to get a photo taken, but we didn't have memory maker on this trip, and I knew that I wouldn't buy a single photo, so it didn't really make sense to stand in the line (which was pretty long).

We finally made it to Haunted Mansion, and it was a 13-minute wait (so a walk on). Upon coming out of the stretch room, we almost wondered if the ride was down, everything was stopped, and we were all crowded in the doom buggy room. Thankfully, they had stopped the stretch room and after a few minutes, the ride started operating again.

After we got off, it was almost 10, we thought about heading back to Tomorrowland to get in line for Tron, but we were both fading at this point. We headed back to Main Street where I did some shopping and bought a Christmas ornament (spoiler alert, it broke). It was then time to say goodbye to MK until next time.

There was a bus to Caribbean Beach boarding as we got to the busses. It looked pretty full, but there was just enough room for the two of us. Staying in Martinique, we were the first dropped off, so we headed to our room and got ready for bed. We had another early day ahead of us!

Up Next: It's EPCOT time!

 

[Kari0180]

It's EPCOT Time, part 1

I woke up before the alarm went off and started to get ready, it was our EPCOT day! We got ready and decided to grab breakfast at Primo Piatto at the Riveria Resort. When we booked a premium room at Caribbean Beach, I didn't realize how far away the rooms were from the Skyliner. However, our building was the closest building to Riveria, it was only a few minutes to walk over there, probably the same as the walk to Old Port Royale. Once we were at Primo Piatto, we both ordered the Turkey Bagel sandwich.

This was very interesting, it was roasted turkey, egg, and a tomato cream cheese. I really enjoyed this, the tomato cream cheese was really yummy, and my bagel was the perfect mix of being toasted, but still soft. We grabbed these sandwiches to go as we saw the Skyliner was already running, so we walked over there and got on board and started making our journey to EPCOT.

It was a cool morning, but it was supposed to get into the low 70's, so I was excited about the warmth! It was a little after 7:30 when we arrived at the International Gateway, but we were able to go through the turnstiles right away. We were first stopped at the bridge between UK and France, but after a few minutes of standing there, CM's scanned our bands and we were able to walk over to the entrance of the France Pavillion before we were stopped. We were right at the front, and promptly at 8:30, we were escorted to our first ride of the morning

A first for us, we were in the first group of riders, we loaded into our rat and took a quick selfie

I really love this ride! Our plan was to ride again, but then we saw the line...it stretched all the way back to the entrance of the France Pavillion. Yes, I love this ride, I don't love it enough to wait in a super long line on an early entry. DH went off to search for a couple of Hidden Mickey's and I took a couple of photos

This fountain is so fun!

Okay, I'm going to admit, I'm very impatient and I was getting incredibly impatient with DH searching for his Mickey's. We only had 30 minutes before the park opened to gen pop and he was wasting precious minutes. So, I texted him that I was headed to Norway and to meet at Frozen. I started my way toward Norway, stopping to take some photos along the way

I made it to Norway and DH and his long legs made it only a couple of minutes after me. It was time to head to Arendelle.

The posted time was 25 minutes, and it was about a 20-minute wait, until we were saying hello to Papi

And our ride photo

After we got off the ride, the park was now open to gen pop and our lightning lane for Frozen was open, so we turned around, and walked back and rode again! This was the start of our "double dipping" day.

 

[Kari0180]

It's EPCOT time, part 2

Heading out of the Norway Pavillion, I was able to grab us a lightning lane for Soarin', so it was off to the Land Pavillion.

They stand-by line was 15 minutes, so we got in that line first, where we were sent to Concourse C, section C, row 2 and soon we were soarin around the world. After we were done, our lightning lane opened, so guess what? We hoped right back in line, where we were sent to Concourse C, section C, row 2, this time we were one seat over from where we were on our first ride. Kind of a bummer that we were in the same spot 2 rides in a row but still had so much fun. It was then time for our lightning lane for Living with the Land. Time to look at some fruits and veggies.


Another favorite of mine! I was then able to pick up a lightning lane for Figment, as we were making our way over to the Imagination Pavillion, DH was making fun of me for using a lightning lane on Figment, but when he saw the queue was at 20 minutes, he quickly told me I made a good choice. He forgets that the days of walking right up to the front don't really happen anymore. We quickly boarded our vehicle and spending some time with our favorite dragon

After Figment, it was time to ride Spaceship Earth with our lightning lane, but first, it was time for another first, we walked through Journey of Water

Not going to lie, was kind of disappointed in this. I get that it's geared mainly toward kids, and they seemed to be having a blast, but I don't think I will need to go through this again. Although, I loved Te Fiti and we had to grab a selfie in front of her

It was then time for Spaceship Earth and after thanking the Phoenicians, it was getting close to lunchtime, so we started walking toward our reservation, but we decided to make a quick stop at Club Cool first

I enjoyed most of these, but the Cucumber Sprite from Russia was my favorite, it was so refreshing! DH really enjoyed the sodas from Madagascar and the Dominican Republic. I skipped out on the Beverly, been there, done that, but DH had to have a go at it. DH and I don't drink soda that much anymore, so we were both feeling all the carbonation and of course, then it was time to have lunch. Where were we headed....another first for us, Space 220. We checked in, were given our boarding passes

We then boarded our elevator to take us to the space station

Not going to lie, this was pretty cool! Once aboard the space station, we were escorted to our table, met our server, and put in our order. While waiting for our food, we watched the sights outside the window

 

[Kari0180]

It's EPCOT time, part 3

Shortly after ordering, our appetizers arrived, we split the Starry Calamari


These were very good; the breading was so light. I wasn't a big fan of the aioli, but the marinara was very tasty. We also had the Apollo 16 Shrimp tacos

I enjoyed these, but DH wasn't a fan. The shrimp was served cold and there really wasn't a whole lot of flavors. It was then time for mains, we both got the Interstellar Steak and Frites

This was okay, the steak had a little too much butter to it, but we both enjoyed the French fries. We decided against dessert, but our server brought me a sundae for my birthday.

This was very refreshing, and the vanilla ice cream was really good. We then took care of our bill and had to take one last photo as we headed back to earth

Once we were earthside, both our lightning lane and virtual queue for Guardians opened

We utilized our lightning lane first, made it through the pre-shows and got in the queue where we had kind of an odd interaction with a CM. We're at the point in line we're being separated to the left and right for the different coasters, the CM asks us how many are in our party, we say 2 and she tells us which line to go to, we start moving to the line and she starts yelling at us, telling us that she didn't tell us what line to go in and that we have to have patience, we just can't do things on our own. I apologized and said I thought she told us where to go and she told me that she wasn't talking to me, she was talking to the group ahead of us, but she sent the group ahead of us to a completely different line. When the line started moving again, she sent us to the line we originally started walking in. The group behind us told us after we moved away from the CM that they heard the whole interaction and that she had told us to go in the line. I'm a pretty sensitive person, and I was almost in tears by the whole interaction. It was just really awkward, and I was embarrassed by her yelling at us. I wish I could say that by the time we loaded our vehicle, I was over it, but I wasn't. It got better once the ride took off, we had Disco Inferno and that was a fun soundtrack to experience. It was then time to ride again using our virtual queue. I was a little shaken over our first experience and I almost didn't want to ride again, but Guardians is one of my favorite attractions and thankfully a new CM was in that spot, so I didn't have to see her again. We rode for the second time and got September, which was even better than Disco Inferno. Coming off the second time, we grabbed a selfie in the courtyard

We were hoping to head over to Hollywood Studios, so we decided it was time to make our way back to the International Gateway. But first, I wanted to stop a grab a couple of cocktails along the way. Our first stop was at China and the Joy of Tea where I had to grab a Tipsy Ducks in Love

This used to be one of my favorite drinks, but I was disappointed in this. The tea/coffee/chocolate beverage is out of a dispenser, and then bourbon is poured on top. It was hard to mix, so the first few sips were bourbon and nothing else. I also missed the whipped cream that used to be on top. I think I can skip this drink in the future, it made me kind of sad. We then stopped in Germany and made a trip to Karamell Kuche. I wanted a butter bar and a caramel; we got to talking with a CM while in line and he gave us a free bag of popcorn! We then stopped over at the American Pavillion so I could grab my absolute favorite drink, the moonshine sour

I love this drink! As we continued walking, DH wanted to walk through Japan to find a couple of Mickey's. As he was searching, I started to not feel so great. I recently started on a new medication, and I've been dealing with some of the side effects and of course, I was having issues now. We made our way out of EPCOT to head to Hollywood Studios, we decided to take the boat over and I was hoping that a nice boat ride would help and that by the time we got to Hollywood Studios, I would be feeling better. Unfortunately, they kept packing more and more people onto the boat and there was no air circulating and it made me feel even worse. By the time we reached Hollywood Studios, I was feeling awful, I was really nauseous, and I thought I was going to vomit. Our first stop was to first aid to get some meds, hoping that I would feel better. I tried walking through the shops to see if I would feel better, but nothing was helping. I wound up sitting on a park bench and realized at this point that I needed to go back to the hotel, I wasn't feeling any better and was maybe feeling worse. I started crying to DH, I felt awful, I know how badly he wanted to be in Hollywood Studios and here I was ruining it. I told him that he should stay, and I would be fine getting back to the resort, but he didn't want to leave me. So, after only about 45 minutes and not experiencing anything, we got on the Skyliner and headed back to Caribbean Beach. Of course, along the way, the Skyliner kept stopping, I was so afraid I was going to get sick, but thankfully, I was okay. We hopped off the Skyliner at Caribbean Beach and hopped on the Riveria line and then I headed back to the room while DH explored.
Thankfully, once I was back to our room, I was able to take some other meds and after a little while I was feeling better. No pictures, but we wound up getting dinner at Old Port Royale. I went with a kid's mac & cheese with applesauce and French fries (DH ate the French fries) and he got the Mixed Grill Platter. He wasn't very impressed with it; he said all the meats were dried out and he didn't really like any of the sides.
Even now, after returning from our trip, I still feel awful about how this day ended, I really feel like I let DH down. I thankfully don't have many episodes, and I didn't have another one at all during the rest of our trip. But DH was so looking forward to the parks portion of our trip and I ruined things for him. We'll be on the Destiny next January and even though that sails out of Fort Lauderdale, I think we'll do Disney either before or after and utilize Brightline. I owe it to DH for another Disney parks trip. Hopefully, I'll be used to my meds (or even off of them) by then!

Up Next: What we're all looking forward to...Embarkation Day on the Treasure!
