Uhm maybe if it's being served by a hunky pool boy.Ah! Is there anything better than a refreshing beverage enjoyed poolside?

Awesome Canadian Mickey gear. I would have never thought to look at Walmart!But first a slight soggy end of the night picture decked out in my Canadian Mickey gear.
If I ever do a solo trip, I want to do this!Yes, it's time for 4 parks in one day!
I've seen Devine before, but didn't notice her on this last trip. Nice to see she is still around.Then I veered to the right with the hopes of seeing Devine in the Oasis area.
That's how I felt about it. I expected to hate it, but it wasn't too bad.Still i was determined to fit Pirates as I wanted to check out the new redhead scene. You know, I didn't hate it. It's not great but not horrible either.
I always try to make sure relaxing time is factored in to any trip. It's needed after a busy day!After a spectacularly fun day yesterday, it was time to relax and put my feet up!
I arrived at the Lava pool shortly after 9 am and snagged a sweet little spot right under a shady umbrella.

I settled in happily and enjoyed my coffee and book. It was such a perfect morning and I thoroughly enjoyed taking in this lovely view! I may have even snuck in a poolside nap!
poolside server bringing around menus and taking orders. Juicy chicken, creamy avocado, crisp celery and peppers made for the perfect lunch. The citrus slaw was a nice, light accompaniment. This was a huge wrap and very filling.
Upon arriving in my room, I found two delightful surprises! I love the creative design my Mousekeeper had left for me today! And she had pixie dusted me with some of the gorgeous H20 foot rub!
Character Warehouse at the Vineland outlets.
I decided to hop to Disney Springs.
so happy to be back in the bubble, lol! I am an onsite Disney girl to the core. It feels weird to me to be out in the real world.
!
As much as I love Disney and the parks, its those chill and just take it all in days that seem to be my favorite.

No. Indeed there is not

Yum that does look good! I didn't know they had servers poolside. That could get very dangerous for me!Next up was my awesome grilled chicken wrap.

Awesome haul!!! I'll have to get over there sometime. I can only fathom the damage Casey could doI had seen the Orange Bird D and B bags at the outlets on a Vlog and was hoping they would still be available. Luckily, they had several to choose from and I was able to pick my perfect placement. I also snagged some other goodies; including a Minnie top, a cute Bambi infinity scarf and Up bandits.
Yes, May will be great for pool time. I was super happy with my outlet deals too!I love your finds from the character warehouse! I love the Disney bubble, I have left for the dark side and Seaworld a couple times, haha!
Your pool time looked very relaxing. I think I will enjoy the pool in May when pool phobia Andi is still in school!
Nothing better than a 4 parks day, it's just so fun! You will LOVE that macaron ice cream sandwich!Well it took me long enough but I have caught up!
You know, I send the Hidden Mickey books to clients but don't have one for us! I think I'll get one for our Nov trip because I know Ricky will enjoy looking for them (Chris enjoys nothing lol) and I'm always on the lookout but never have much luck!
My favorite
A snack I've never had which is surprising given my love for macarons. Also on my Nov list now
Perfect on a hot day!
Your 4 park day went so well and sounds like so much fun! I had one planned for Steve our last trip but all our days got switched around and it didn't happen, which was ok. So I stand at 1- 4 park day in the books so far and will eventually do another!
sure, could you arrange for that at the Poly please?Uhm maybe if it's being served by a hunky pool boy.
It is great!If I ever do a solo trip, I want to do this!
Nothing like a little down time after going full tilt!I always try to make sure relaxing time is factored in to any trip. It's needed after a busy day!
So good!I have wanted to try that avocado chicken wrap. Now I REALLY want to try it after seeing yours.
I'm so happy to have you reading along!I continue to enjoy reading about your adventures.
Lyft is super easy to use. I was presently surprised.Thank you for writing your TR. I am thinking of doing a solo trip next year. I too am a Disney bubble girl and never leave it on vacation but this trip I want to try the Character Warehouse. I have been trying to figure out how to get there. Either taxi or uber/lyft, glad you had a good experience.
Chill days are awesome!As much as I love Disney and the parks, its those chill and just take it all in days that seem to be my favorite.
Very dangerous indeed!That could get very dangerous for me!
She would have a blast!!Awesome haul!!! I'll have to get over there sometime. I can only fathom the damage Casey could do
Big news!!!!!!I have been dying to see the Disney Christmas decor so I have been obsessively checking for resort availability since I returned. There was nothing in the price range I was hoping for and I almost gave up. Then I got an alert from Hopper telling me that flights from Toronto to Orlando were $317 for the dates I was interested in. That was way too good to pass up. Plus that pesky AP was burning a hole in my pocket. I decided I would take a look offsite and checked out Air BnB and found a super cute tiny house just on the other side of Disney Springs for $77 CDN a night!! It has great reviews and I decided I would be brave and experience life outside the bubble. I am so excited!!
Yes, the biggest and the best!
I am going back to Disney in 56 days!!!
Bring on ALL the Christmas stuff Disney has to offer!!

Great news! I would love to see Disney all decked out for Christmas too. Great prices on the flight and house! I've rented a house before during non-Disney time, but the cheaper price compared to Disney resorts makes it tempting to do all the time.I am going back to Disney in 56 days!!!I have been dying to see the Disney Christmas decor so I have been obsessively checking for resort availability since I returned
Thank you!Yay upcoming trip!!
I am beyond excited!How exciting!! Christmas time at Disneyis so awesome.
Thank you so much! I can't wait!That IS big news! I hope you do another trip report so we can see all things Disney Christmas, too! What a magical time you will have....and that is an unbelievable deal on lodging. Happy for you.
Pretty much sums up how I am feeling!
I am so excited! I had never thought I'd be able to go at Christmas but we get two float days a year with the school board so I decided to use them when I found the great ticket price. I had been looking at Air bnb and when I found the house at that price (it normally goes for $112-$130/n) and it had such great reviews, it just felt meant to be!Great news!

I have read about the wonderful cupcakes at Contempo Cafe. Sadly I have never been able to get there. One of these days...I hopped on board as I was on a mission to grab dessert from Contempo Cafe.
It was so good, Caroline! I hope you get over there on your next trip.I wanted to try the crab cake sandwich so much, we never did get back over to WL after we left. It sounds and looks yummy!
The cupcake looks good, glad you had a nice evening checking out some new items
It's worth the trip over, Jeff! Lots of yummy options. They have a flourless mini chocolate torte that is calling my name......I have read about the wonderful cupcakes at Contempo Cafe. Sadly I have never been able to get there. One of these days...
I didn't see the Rose Gold cupcakes but I think they have those at Sunshine Seasons. There is a great bakery selection at Contempo Cafe, probably the best I've seen. I totally love those Disney magical moments too!Thanks for sharing your numbers on OOP v DDP costs. I am a numbers gal so I find all of that very interesting.
Sounds like a great excursion to Wilderness Lodge - loooove the look of the crab cake sandwich.....and the dessert stop at Contemporary. Yum! Did you notice if they had rose gold cupcakes when you were there? And how nice to get a chance to talk to the boat captain and swap stories. Little moments like that really make Disney special. We just stayed at Bay Lake Tower back in June, but most of our time was offsite....so only short time at BLT. I knew about the metal Mickey ears, but I didn’t even see them on our stay. So cute!
I bet you are busy planning all the sights you will see for Disney Christmas fun!!

The Rose Gold cupcake is at Sunshine Seasons...spoiler alert, I will have a quick review of it in my trip report (eventually ).I didn't see the Rose Gold cupcakes but I think they have those at Sunshine Seasons.
I tried this and thought it was good, but I loved the Black Cherry Lemonade they have since taken off the menu So last time we were there I had my share of a Blueberry Lemonade, I'll see what my go-to ends up being during our short stay there next month!the Cascadia Sangria Cocktail (black cherry vodka, fresh lime and orange juice, topped with Columbia Crest H3 Merlot). This was absolutely perfect.
Ah, so beautiful there at night, you know I love it And I too have always wanted to try dessert over at the Contempo Cafe but then forget when we're there! I need to write down these things because I also forgot to try something at AK last month and I don't want to forget next month. There's just too much to eat in Disney lolAfter finishing my meal, I took a walk around and enjoyed the view. What a perfect evening!
