I am loving this trip report. So interesting. Thank you.

Have you met anyone interesting or anyone who stands out?

Sorry just thought, am I allowed to ask questions?

Ask as many questions as you want.

Many people have struck up conversations with me - especially in line this trip and the cast members are really friendly. Guy today on Sunset cleared my tray for me and brought me two cups of iced water "to be getting on with" 🙂 Most are interesting to talk to 👍( I dont "do" character meets so can't comment on them 😅 )

Enjoying reading your report, especially as staying in Aventura in September for first time for 14 nights on a Universal/ Seaworld/ Busch Garden holiday.
We may use Lfyt /Uber from MCO as well. Can I just ask did you just go to the pick up area in MCO or do you have to book via the app when you get there?
Also we were thinking of getting boat from Sapphire Falls, we stayed there last time. You said it was quicker getting the bus. I always thought there was a long walk after bus and big queues at main entrance, have I got that wrong?
Great tip about the water for the refillable mugs. Definitely getting them especially as staying 14 days.

You'll need to book via the app when you're close to the pick up point. There are seats just inside so you can stay cool ( and connected to the wifi ) while you order and wait. I think the lyft drivers give you 5 mins, uber slightly less

Also we were thinking of getting boat from Sapphire Falls, we stayed there last time. You said it was quicker getting the bus. I always thought there was a long walk after bus and big queues at main entrance, have I got that wrong?

Was just my experience.
Yes if you get the bus you have to walk through citywalk but I never had to queue for security first thing in the morning. The buses were never full, very frequent & the bus stop is right outside the lobby entrance.
If you get the boat you have to walk to the boat dock at SF. They don't run as frequently and have a lower capacity. I did see people have to wait for the next water taxi. I made the decision to leave the boats for the SF guests.
Coming back I could see how long the line was for the boat - it was rarely busy so I tended to use that.

And thank you- I'm glad somebody is reading it 😊

Many thanks for the advice. Know what you mean re using the boat. We stayed at SF a couple of years ago. Loving your report.

Looks like you’re still having a great time. Taking part in the parade at MK sounds very special and your HS day looked like a success, nice spotting the proposal 🍾

About 20 mins at opening. Was 45-50 estimated by the time I got to the front - no virtual line

It's great, the best thing is the flexibility. I can switch up my plans on a whim 🙂 and if I want to have dessert before dinner nobody is going to judge me 😁
