pcot, to check out the Festival of the Arts! Very excited about this even though it doesn't get the reviews that F&G and F&W get. Still cool to experience something new! Plus, food and drink booths
but we know we're joining in the Mardi Gras festivities at Universal Studios again by riding the floats!!! Myself, Cathy and one other agent who did the training last year, Pam, rode on the Phoenix float last year and it was the highlight of the training:
Not sure if I'm excited about this or not. Usually I'm just excited over food, but @Raeven and her BF Josh didn't love their breakfast there so.....IDK.
Besides riding the float I'm super duper excited about this, especially since I don't like water parks BUT, I've never been to either Disney water park so it'll be something completely new to me, and while I was there for training last year it wasn't open yet.
1. my restaurant better be good and 2. my restaurant better be good.
Whaaaaaaat?! That is SO cool!!!!! I hope you have a great time!we know we're joining in the Mardi Gras festivities at Universal Studios again by riding the floats!!!
And who doesn't love that?!Either way I'll be happy because I'll be throwing beads at peoples' heads again.
Yes, please!I think I'll do just a little trip report and add it here
Welcome backHey all! I'm back from my trip! I'm going to answer your comments soon and I think I'll do just a little trip report and add it here I had a great time my two days in Disney and loved spending time with Cathy there and her & Pam in Universal. It was also great meeting so many of the other agents and especially my boss for the first time. Stay tuned!
I wish we'd gotten to Jellyrolls but sadly we didn't Still on my list though!Oooh, I wanna try this sometime! I'm thinking we'll go for our anniversary trip in August.
You know I'm not positive but I think the big one is the one on I-Drive is bigger I'm honestly not sure which one we went to when lol! The one we went to this year was different than last year; it was a bit bigger but not much. It did have more stuff though and the outlet center as a whole was larger.Which one is the big one now? The one on Vineland or the one on I-Drive? I feel like I heard/read somewhere that I-Dr used to be big and then it got shrunk and now Vineland is the better one? I dunno!! Anyway, I went to the one on Vineland Ave last May and I wasn't impressed at all. But I think it probably depends A LOT on when you're there whether it happens to be better or worse selection. There was lots of clothing (a LOT of cruise stuff, but some other stuff, too,) but I wasn't shopping for clothes so I didn't find much.
I'm NOT a water parks person We have a water park 10 minutes from us - it's not the size of Volcano Bay or the Disney parks but it's actually a good size - and I HATE it. Luckily Chris doesn't really like it either and Ricky goes alone with his friends but when they were younger and I had to go I dreaded it.I'm actually pretty surprised you've never been to a Disney waterpark.
Yeah.......as you know so did we. Not a fan. I didn't even look at the regular menu since I knew we were limited to the buffet but thinking stuff like eggs, pancakes, etc. that are on the buffet wouldn't be any better ordered as an entréeI'm hoping the a la carte menu has something good on it for you, we only got to try the buffet!
lol! Since I haven't ever even been to a Disney park I can't compare them to VB, but VB did look neat. I think people who love water parks do/will really enjoy VB.I can't wait to see Volcano Bay, but I also don't like waterparks. We've had Disney waterpark tickets since our first trip, and I don't think we'll ever use them. I got caught up in the excitement and bought them
I'll hopefully start my reporting over the weekend!Enjoyed your report! Have a wonderful trip, hope you give us a report when you return!
Thanks! Should be coming up soon!Great wrap up! Looking forward to hearing about your training trip!
Thank you for the nice wordsThank you for sharing another great TR with us! I'm sad to see it end, but happy we'll get to read about your next trip!
Temps were most definitely warmer than the previous weeks thank goodness! However only one day could be categorized as actually "warm". Most days we only took our sweatshirts off for maybe an hour or two and all evenings we definitely needed them. But better than the temps in NY for sureIt looks like the temps have gone up a bit, so that's awesome! It got cold in Florida for awhile...
So glad Timmy is loving it, I had no doubt he would Yup eventually I'll get around to posting our March plans lolCan't wait to hear what March has in store for you. We leave in 47 days!!!!!!! I can't wait to see Timmy. He's having the time of his life!
And I hope you and Dana have a great time later this month!I can't wait to hear about your TA trip and then your March plans.

Funny though I've asked the boys if they want to go to a Disney water park just to switch it up, thinking Ricky would say yes and he always says no! Fine with me
I promised I'd come back and do a wrap up, and I'm back! A few days before I leave for my next Disney quickie Here's a little rundown of how that'll go:
We then have some "training" which includes touring this place:
Besides riding the float I'm super duper excited about this, especially since I don't like water parks BUT, I've never been to either Disney water park so it'll be something completely new to me, and while I was there for training last year it wasn't open yet.
So there's my extremely long rundown of my quickie trip! Now to wrap up our August trip; we had fun. Bye.

Was there a strike going on? IDK, but I'm going to pay careful attention next month. Both to any missing dolls AND to whether or not the dolls at the end have faces behind the masks......
We were going to HS to ride the Great Movie Ride for the.last.time
By the time we got up there the wait was 90 minutes.
We went from 8:30, to 9:30, to 11 to midnight to like 8:25! Oh I was thrilled, and I ran!!!!!
I will say the construction was more evident than when Steve and I were there in Nov. I still don't think it was to the point it would impact your trip since it isn't affecting amenities, but they are working in more areas so more vehicles are around.
Cathy got the
Cheese Empanada
Crisp Tortilla filled with Monterey Jack Cheese, topped with Queso Fresco and Tomatillo Salsa.
I really wish I had taken a picture because besides looking pretty she loved these
All of a sudden, some guy starts poking me in the arm and says real loud, like he thought I couldn't understand English, and yells, "YOU HAVE TO MOVE BACK!!!" poking me the whole time he's yelling.
