Back to reality and work for me today!
As I mentioned above, we had a great quick trip to Disney. The weather wasn't the very best, and we got drenched more than we would have liked, but overall it went well. the highlights:
I'm so very glad we did this little trip and I think my son also enjoyed the time we had together. There were no complaints, no issues with us getting out and doing things, but we did take some time to just chill in our room which I was okay with doing also. I think the only real panic moment he had was when he learned our returning flight was CANCELLED and he was worried as we rebooked another one, but it all worked out. Although I was TEMPTED to just book a flight the next day instead, we actually ended up returning EARLIER than planned based on his feedback on flight preferences, and that was fine with me too.
I'll try to do a little more detailed TR soon with some more photos. For now, enjoy this little collage I put together for a social media post.

- Staying at the Polynesian. This is just such a lovely resort and I only regret we didn't have more time there. I LOVE the Villas with their 2 bathroom layout. It was so great to come back in the evening and both be able to jump in the shower at the same time.
- Moonlight Magic at Typhoon Lagoon. This DVC Member event was really done well. I suppose the rain may have made the crowds a bit lighter...but maybe not since when we left around 10pm it was pretty packed. We actually arrived a little bit early and hit the two slides we wanted to do first while it was rainy. Then the rain stopped, and we enjoyed lounging around the lazy river and some fun in the wave pool, which is just awesome. I only wish we had more time for the food there. I only ate ONE Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich and two cookies which were actually more like homemade and not the pre-packaged cookies we've had in the past which I do not enjoy.
- FOOD. We really enjoyed our meals. We ate at Skipper Canteen for the very first time and it was such a fun meal as well as very tasty. I'm so glad we gave it a try. We ate at the sushi bar at Polynesian, which was also good but same menu as Kona Cafe so nothing extra special other than no need for an ADR and you can sit at the counter there. Fontera Cucina was definitely a good meal also, a bit expensive for Mexican food (and no FREE chips and salsa) but different and delicious. I'd return just for the appetizer we had there. Finally the Dine with an Imagineer Experience at Hollywood Brown Derby...the meal was fabulous (but I'm sorry but I do NOT like that grapefruit cake at all...despite it being a signature dessert) and our Imagineer was so interesting and fun to listen to there.
