I felt every moment of your frustration with the Bon Jovi tickets (having secured Little Mix tickets for my children for Christmas. I neither wanted them myself and considered them expensive!).
So glad you pulled the day back by switching from EPCOT to MK, last Aug we had issues with EPCOT that we’ve never had before, rides going tech was a big issue.

I had the same saga the last time I tried to buy tickets for something. Why do they have to make it so difficult!? Just show me a seating plan, I’ll pick a seat, then let me know what it costs, then I’ll decide. I didn’t even realise there was so many different classes of tickets now, TicketMaster actually did themselves out of money with their silly systems because I thought the seats I actually wanted were sold out, when it turns out they were just in a different category, but didn’t realise until after I’d bought cheaper ones. Well, that was a diversion from the matter in hand. P.S. I cannot buy you didn’t actually buy the tickets in the end, I’d have been fuming.
You would think that Disney would be a bit better at communicating things and someone would tell you when you’re being held before rope drop that Frozen is down. If I was one of those people who had marched there from the main entrance, I’d have been furious! I have the Cat Lady t-shirt, I do agree it’s disappointing about it only being in white, it’s not really my colour. Glad you enjoyed Garden Grill, we are big fans. It’s nice to see they have sausages now, as last time we ate there it was ham yuck! I believe the rocks in Tomorrowland have always been there but they have recently been painted that blue colour. I think we’re going to take a similar FP approach to you this year, I was debating not booking any apart from headliners and just picking them up on the day, but that’s just silly. So I’ll book a few with loose plans then just play roulette on the day and see what comes up, rather than being confined to a plan. It’s good to see you had a lot of luck with decent rides. HAHAHA Hand platters. |

Haha, I am sorry about that. It’s because I post my photos straight from my phone rather than using a hosting site so posting is always a bit of a protracted affair.
That is a good tip re Chip & Dale. Thanks! Nice and easy to remember! |

Thanks! Yes, GG was just as good as everyone told me it would be. Wish I were going there for breakfast today...
We had a great MK evening. It just goes to show what you can accomplish when there are only a couple of you and you have no plan. Would be harder to do in other parks I think as MK has the most rides. Yes, I am so sorry. I have seen your message - I am desperately behind on everything (other than work!) at the moment. Will ping you a reply soon xx |

No, Frozen is not in Mexico, as well you know. Only Frozen margaritas there (boom boom). But that’s where they’d roped it off from.
I thought 45 minutes was excellent work on the nap front. Must do better. Hand platters 🙈😹 What’s so funny about the Goofy coaster? Apart from the sight of me trying to get out of it at the end...? |

Thanks Joan.
Well, I’m a type A completer-finisher so not getting the tickets was making me furious! |

Yeah GG was super. Pastry with gooey icing, Tater Tots & bacon. What’s not to like? The coffee was good too.
Totally cracked up in the queue at the boy’s Scarlett O’Hara impression. Andy was almost crying. It’s a Tomorrowland mug. I must take a pic so I can include it in the next instalment. I thought that about the staff in Starbucks too. Lovely, but sooooo slooooow. |

Oh the ticket anguish. It’s just such hard work and I swear it’s all just to make you go “FINE!” and grumpily stump up for the “best available” which are inevitably the same price as a mortgage payment, out of sheer irritation and panic.
We have the Universal mug, plus all the first and second iterations of the park ones. And the Orlando & Florida ones you can get in Starbucks in Disney Springs. I didn’t know there was a Universal one til some kind Dibber pointed it out in my 2016 comments. There are now two others available, a Fantasyland specific mug, and a Tomorrowland one. “Hand platters” still cracks me up. I hope the report didn’t peak on day two but I fear it may have done. 😹 |

Thanks! Definitely a bit of a false start at Epcot but the breakfast more than made up for it!
