Sooooo much to talk about!!!

I've been such a slacker with trip reports/pre trip reports lately and I apologize. Life is crazy and I know a lot of you follow along on Facebook with us so I'm just gonna provide a quick wrap up of the last couple months trips and upcoming stuff.

Joe and I went down over Christmas for a few days, we stayed at Pop Century and had a fantastic time. Crowds weren't terrible and we tried some new places. I did the Yuletide Fantasy Tour which I wasn't overly impressed with. It was ok but there is so much room for improvement. We tried new restaurants 50's Prime Time,Splitsville and Pizza Ponte. We took a trip off property to visit Buca di Beppo and to visit with Robyn and Simon for a bit at their villa.

February was a trip down with the ladies I work with at the travel agency. It was a learning/familiarization trip and also a get to know each other as we are from many different places and we've never met in person. It was fantastic. Lots of new things experienced. We did a VIP tour that covered all 4 parks in 6 hours and it was AMAZING. If the price point was a bit lower, I would do this every trip!!!! I met up with Joann, Spook, Becks and Kristen. New restaurants were Jock Lindsey's, Boathouse, Enzo's Hideaway, Ale & COmpass Lounge, Trattoria al Forno (Bon Voyage breakfast), Spice Road Table and Victoria Falls Lounge. We also toured a few resorts and just had a great time all around!

Last weekend Joe I I decided on Thursday that we would go down for the weekend. We stayed at the Hilton Lake Buena Vista at Disney Springs. Not impressed at all... Joe was there to play in a golf tournament so I played alone for most of the day. Animal Kingdom for me Saturday and I had lunch and drinks (along with free samples) at Nomad Lounge. Those are some great drinks. We went to Victoria Falls because I had to have that burger again that I had in February!!! OMG go get it.... best burger on property! We went back to the hotel and walked over to Disney Springs to have a drink at Enzo's Hideaway then met friends at Planet Hollywood's outside bar. Next morning I went to Epcot to hit a couple Flower & Garden booths, get my perfume from Norway and headed to Saratoga SPrings to met Joe after golf. We headed back home around 1.

Next up is Marvel Day at Sea. We head out on a Thursday and staying overnight in St Augustine. Early Friday we are driving down to Vero Beach to stay at the Disney resort!!!! Sunday morning we will board the Magic for Marvel Day at Sea!!!!!!! This will be ourth cruise and we will have been on all 4 ships after this one. I am going to be Jessica Jones, Blondie is going to be Scarlet Witch and Joe will be Thor. There will be tons of pics. I am trying to convince him to spend the day at Disney when we get back. I mean it will be May the 4th... and Amy and her mam will be there. I'm working on it hard!!!!

Other than that we have Golf camp coming up in July with Coral Reef and Skippers Canteen being the only ADRs booked right now. We will get to experience Toy Story land too. yay

Still gotta figure out October and I know we are going in January 2019 for the LPGA tournament

That's it in a nutshell for now! You can check us out on FB if you want to see more or ask questions if you have any!!
