This is my first attempt at a trip report so bear with me, I promise to do my best. This was a much needed trip for myself and DH. It was totally for rest and relaxation and definately not meant to be comando in any way.
Cast: Myself - 57 yrs old, total disney fanatic and great planner
DH - 54 yrsl old, willing to go along anything as long as I don't complain or nag
1/29 - arrival day! Check in at 2:00 at OKW went very smooth. Our first floor studio was ready when we arrived and we were anxious to check it out. Everything seemed great (just glanced around a little) then off to catch the bus to DTD. Did some shopping and then back to OKW to relax a little. We decided to grab a bite to eat at Olivia's. Very nice meal and a quiet relaxing time. THERE WERE NO CROWDS!
After dinner it was back to the studio to shower and get to bed early so we would be well rested for the next day. Well, the bathroom was not very tidy. There was hair all over the floor and the tub was not very clean. I wanted to call Housekeeping but my DH cleaned the tub himself and wiped the floor. (I always bring cleaning supplies) All was right with the world now and we were in bed by 9:30 pm
1/30 - Up early and off to MGM. It was a little rainy but not enough to ruin our day. People were complaining about the cold (67) but being from Pa we thought the temp. was great. We went over to star tours and then to Indiana Jones. There were no lines anywhere, how great is that? After that we went to Who wants to be a millionaire? By that time we were both getting hungry so I called DD and asked what was available in MGM. They told me that they had a table in 10 minutes at 50's Prime Time so we grabbed it. Got seated right away and enjoyed the atmosphere. Now, my husband is somewhat of a stuffed shirt and our waitress seemed to pick up on it and she really kept after him about eating all of his vegetables He really had a good time and loved the food. We both had the pot roast and it was wonderful. I highly recommend it.
I have arthritis very bad in my back and legs and it was really beginning to bother me so we decided to call it a day. Not very exciting, I know, but remember I said this was to be a very relaxing trip.
1/31 - We were going to the Grand Floridian Cafe for lunch today so we just took our time walking around OKW and getting to know the resort. We had never stayed there before so we wanted to see what was available. Great resort and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. By the way, I did stop by the Hospitality House and let them know about the bathroom being dirty and the insisted on sending someone out to clean it thoroughly. Fine with me, but I though I did a pretty good job. Needless to say we got fresh towels twice through the week at no extra charge. The lunch at the Grand Floridian Cafe was very nic. I had the cobb salad and my DH had the rueben sandwich. Very nice place. The rest of our afternoon was spent at MK. At 7 we went back to OKW and made a little dinner for ourselves and just relaxed on the little porch. It was a nice evening to sit out and enjoy a few drinks.
I'm going to have to finish this later. We just got home at 10 this evening and it is already 12 (very late for me). So I will have to continue this tomorrow. I'm sorry it is so boring, but like I said before, this was strictly rest and relaxation.
