Mr. Dis_Yoda

I’m back! The next 5 weeks are going to be a very busy time for Dis_Yoda...let’s just look at my travel schedule…

November 2nd to 6th - Walt Disney World w/ Mr. Dis_Yoda for Wine & Dine Race Weekend + Food & Wine Festival

November 13th to 17th - Southern California for Work (possibly a visit to Disneyland in the evening for dinner a night or two)

November 23rd to 26th - Walt Disney World w/ Mother for Thanksgiving (staying off site at the Ritz Carlton)

November 30th to December 3rd - Memphis, Tennessee for St Jude Marathon Weekend (I’m running the half) with three of my Disboard Running Friends (@tankgirl427, @acwinsett, Carol)

This on top of 5 different customer visits during these 5 weeks while handling my normal job duties. I’m exhausted just thinking about all this!

Oh, and I'm undertrained for the races.​

Welcome! Thanks for joining in!
Super excited for a new report! :mickeyjum

Yay! I'm happy to be traveling to Disney again to provide a new report. It was weird traveling where I didn't have a board to post all about the wonderful things that happened when we traveled to Italy!

Yay!!! I hope to see you this weekend!!!

I hope to see you too! Hopefully tomorrow either at the meet up or at the after party!

Can’t wait to read about your dining.

Can't wait to enjoy it all!

Yay for Thanksgiving at Disney! Where are you eating your Thanksgiving dinner? We're going to eat at the nicer restaurant at the Ritz I think. I guess I should figure out those trip plans so I know what my mother planned!


Always love seeing your reports!

Thank you <3.

I'm here lurking. I love your trip and dining reports!

Always great to have a lucker join in! Glad you enjoy them :).

I'm here - hope you are having a fantastic trip! Are you running this weekend? How's your ankle?

Yay! Welcome! I ran the 10K this weekend. My husband ran the 10K and is running the half tomorrow. My ankle survived its first race post surgery! Was slower than I wanted to be but at least I finished. We also probably shouldn't have done two parks afterwards but oh well! At least I'm not running the half tomorrow.

Joining!!

Welcome!
 
Hanger Bar

I left work a little after 10AM. Glad I didn’t take the full day off as we had a mandatory meeting at 9:15AM which didn’t give anyone very good news. Longer hours, no more every other Friday starting next week, expect to work Thanksgiving Weekend and Christmas...all thanks to Irma. Guess they wanted to wait for us all to feel better recovered before springing that news on us. The feedback around the room was not a happy one!

Dog ready to head to camp!

Leaving at the time we did meant we avoided a lot of traffic on I-75 and I-4 which means we made great time - 2.5 hours of driving time! Yay! After we got onto I-4 - we received the text message that our room was ready - which is rare to get it that early with DVC. We had no room requests but were given the top floor at the very end of the hallway. The only complaint I have about the room location is that after a race - that hallway feels soooo loonnnggg!!! As we went through the gates - we headed to Wide World of Sports for Bib Pick Up and Expo time. We got through all of that quick (like 45 minutes) and headed to the resort to settle in. Cheap expo visit for us as I just bought a shirt and a skirt.

Once we relaxed for a few minutes, we headed to Disney Springs for some shopping, drinks and eventually dinner! We picked tsumtsums, some new legos (no $800 lego set for me :( ) and then went to the Hanger. We took a seat at a table and eventually a server visited us. I totally think he forgot to put our order in because of how long it took to get our drinks as the server looked at my unhappy face and ran to the register. (Pineapple cider for Mr. Dis_Yoda and Cool-headed Monkey for me) Once we did get our drinks, we were happy! Can’t go wrong with rum and watermelon juice! Yum! I had planned on actually buying the mug but the server never gave me the option so guess I’ll have to go back for that!

Thanks for clueing me in! Will come back and read bt at least I'm subbed in here!
 
I really love the concept and beverages at Hanger Bar, but seriously the service leaves a lot to be desired :(
That room looks really nice!
 
Bummer about all the extra work hours.

We are breaking tradition and spending Thanksgiving evening at AK and eating at a favorite of ours Yak and Yeti!

Glad you enjoyed your drinks once you got them!
 
Sorry to hear the work news- hope it doesn’t mess up any of your plans. I still haven’t tried Hangar Bar! That watermelon drink sounds delightful. So many great spots in Disney Springs now with more places under construction.
 
Boo to your work for bad news all around. But gals you made good time to Disney!

Fran really liked the Cool Headed Monkey and it is a cool mug. Too bad your server was inept.
 
Following along. Went to Hangar Bar last Oct. liked the atmosphere and want to go back on next trip.
