Disneydoc is off to Saratoga Springs!

Yes it will. I will probably get pics if I am with her so we can show our kids that even old(ish) girls just wanna have fun.

Wow! So wanna do fireworks at MK? Or are you doing the Poly Beach?

We are doing the late Fantasmic on the 3rd, or we could catch the Boston show - the 5:30 one if you are around on the 5th...or see British Invasion that afternoon.. Xx

Thanks Sally! I have actually stayed at SS before, but solo, so never used the pull out beds. I liked the resort too - very quiet and green. I especially like how you can park close to your room/ building - nice if you want to go offsite or drive anywhere.

Yes Jan! My friend and I are so pumped. I have not even packed yet - can you believe it? But as a "frequent flyer" I am always on the ready for Disney - the packing list is in my head.

Mine Train! ADRs! Fireworks! Festival of the Lion King!

Well, tell Remlee that Mr. Hub is WAY more shady than I am. Just sayin.

Will your kids be coming with you on this trip?

I will text when I arrive. Will probably take it slow that first night, after the 8 hour drive. May just wander around MK. I made some FPs if I arrive in time.

Just a few more days!!!!

Thank you guys! Tomorrow night I will be at the Magic Kingdom!

Hey Friends! I arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon - easy drive, especially when both hands work (almost - need to do my PT exercises before heading out!). Had some issues also with the door to my SS room - they had to replace the battery to the reader for me. But the bands are working now - had to go back one time to get it fixed, and a second time for the bad reader battery.

I am in Congress Park, with a view of Fultons off my 3rd floor porch. I am actually going to get out there this AM and hoof around a bit on those pretty walkways along the river. Out of shape big time with this injury - could not do much for a while.

Stayed out until nearly park closing at MK for Wishes, Celebrate the Magic, and a few favorite rides - could not score a FP for the Mine Train. I do have a couple for later in the week! I was SOOO falling asleep on the bus home - worried I would fall over on the nice teenager next to me.

Had an awesome salad for dinner at Tomorrowland Terrace - Citrus Shrimp! Mandarin oranges, peeled shrimp, nice gingery tasting dressing - so refreshing. And a big bowl for 8.99. I did not even get a snack later - it was hot and steamy after the afternoon Florida rain. Had also munched on some almonds and a banana earlier - that'll do it too. Decided to give my rehabbing arm a rest and only eat breakfast in the room this trip. Summer salads are awesome in The World.

Crowds are really light for summer, but as my memory of this week in the past serves, it will start getting crazy on July 3 and stay that way till after the 4th.

This is my 2nd stay at SS, and I gotta say that it is growing on me. The beds are awesome - don't want to get out of it this AM! - and it is sooooo peaceful and quiet. I can see this being a place I will like a lot in my golden years ( wait a minute, I am chronologically about there...just not mentally).

There are a lot of walls up for improvements at MK! Kinda yucky. And no Peoplemover - a first day tradition for me! Oh well, you all know I will be back again, and again, and again...

Plans for today include an ADR at Tonys Town Square, because I just want to see it. They have a caprese salad thing with tomatoes and mozzarella that looks nice - it is an app I think.

Mr. Hub, I did eye The Turf Club for dinner last night, but decided I wanted to eat faster and walk around the park after driving all day. The Artists Palette quick service here at SS did have a nice salad. Disney gets a huge thumbs up from me for all these lighter food options! I know that anywhere pretty much that I go there will be one of these choices - except maybe Casey's, etc... I am also impressed that the prices of the salads are totally comparable with many you would get outside - I have paid more than 8.99 for a huge dinner salad with shrimp in an oCharleys, Chilis, etc. - way to go Mickey.

Just looked - I have a FP for the Mine Train tonight! Yippppeeeee! I want to see the flag retreat at 5 before my 5:50 ADR too. And catch the Dapper Dans on Main Street if I can. Probably the 3 PM parade too. Another MK afternoon/evening. Will probably hit Epcot for a few things, a light lunch, and a spin around the WS.

So off for now - so excited to be back, with about a 65-70 percent right hand. Getting there gradually!

Later!
