Following along! Your parents are such a cute couple. Good idea to head to inside attractions with the storm looming. Liberty Tree - my fav at MK. Hope your party experience was a good one!

Thanks for following! Haha, thank you, I will let them know! ::yes:: Yeah, that rain was a surprise, but fortunately we made it to the indoor attractions before it hit.

Liberty Tree is such a good option in MK, it's been a few years since we ate there, but it was just as good as we remembered it!
 
Popping in for a quick RL update. Things have been a bit odd here this week, I've spent the past few days in the hospital, eek! Big health scare, but things are looking ok right now, except of course for my anxiety which is through the roof at the moment, which of course makes me feel like crap and isn't helping matters. :rotfl:

So anyways, because of this little life detour, I've fallen behind on writing TR updates, but I have a long weekend so should be able to catch back up, hopefully! Also, I've found writing these updates really relaxes me and brings me a lot of joy, so hoping that writing some updates will help ease this anxiety and I will start feeling like myself again.

Anyways, that's it for now, hope everyone is having a great week!

I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. Take care of yourself and don't worry about us. You don't need any additional stress. :)
 

Day 2, Part 4: MVMCP, Part 2! (Liberty Tree Tavern!)​

We last left off riding Buzz. After the ride is was about 3:45, so we decided to go find a place to pick up our party credentials in the park. I knew from other posts they had them over at Tortuga Tavern, but I was hoping they would have them near the entrance to Tomorrowland like they do at the Halloween party, and I was happy to see as we headed that way there was a credential distribution point there!

So we got in line, and were surprised when only a few minutes later we started to move! We ended up getting our wrist bands by 3:55!

After getting our wrist bands, map, and ornament, we headed back up to the front of the park because I wanted to head down the bypass to get pictures with the toy soldiers back there.



There was a massive line by the time we got there, but it moved relatively fast. I was a bit bummed that with two groups ahead of us they had a changing of the guards, and it went from being two soldiers to just one. Oh well, at least we didn’t miss out on the shot with the rain, which was once again on its way! I was actually really worried after waiting ~20 minutes for the picture that we would miss it since the rain was so close, but fortunately we made it just in time!



We also got pictures with the décor back there.





We managed to get some more photopass pictures before the rain as well.



By then it started to drizzle, and it was still a bit too early to check into our dinner, but we headed that way in hopes of finding a roof to hide under.

We totally forgot about the covered porch in front of the restaurant, but were glad when we arrived and saw it and that it had empty benches! So we headed there to keep dry and wait for dinner. At about 4:40 I did the online check-in for our reservation, and about 4:55 I got the notification that our table was ready!

So we headed to the CM outside and he ushered us inside, where another CM told us to find a seat to wait. There was a bit more of a wait once inside, about 10 minutes, before being brought back to our table.

Dinner was really good, we figured this would be a good place for my dad since it’s basically Thanksgiving dinner again, and as noted before, the more basic the food the happier he is.





Also of note, my dad usually hates salad, but he could not get enough of the salad here! He was obsessed with the dressing, which was apparently a honey shallot vinaigrette, so now I’m on the hunt for recipe to make it. He also loved the beef, he ate almost the entire portion of it! Glad he enjoyed himself here.

Next up: MVMCP, Part 3!​
