DAY 6 rCo Monday 9/05/22
Who: Sue (63), DVC Member

Plan: GideonrCOs, Drive to Gainesville
Actual: The new room was perfect rCo nice and quiet, and I slept very well. I was awake around 5 but didnrCOt get up until closer to 5:30. I made my last cappuccino of the trip and took it back to bed. Since Chris brought me a cookie from GideonrCOs yesterday IrCOll hit the road to go home earlier rather than going over to Disney Springs and waiting for stuff to open.
Around 7 I got up to shower & dress. Before doing so I submitted my mobile order for Mara for the 7:45-8:15 time slot. I was ready a bit early so I moved the time up to 7:35. At 7:38 the app still wasnrCOt giving me the option of telling them to prepare my food. If I remember correctly, last trip I discovered that although Mara opens early (7?) the hot food starts later (8?), which is a pain. Oops rCo that changed at 7:40 so I told the app I was there and headed downstairs.
The quiche was ready when I got to the elevator! I picked it up without any wait inside Mara and didnrCOt have to stand in line to pay since IrCOd used the app. I took it back up to the studio to enjoy, since itrCOs so humid outside (and eating inside Mara has little to offer. The quiche was delicious! I could only eat half, but this time I decided I had nothing to lose by taking the rest home. If it doesnrCOt reheat well I can toss it at home.
I finished gathering up my stuff and was out the door shortly after 8 and home at 10. ItrCOs just as hot & awful here, and it lacks the nice big pool and the concierge lounge ry| I was thinking while driving and I may shift these trips to early September and mid-January instead of early September and late May. That will save a few points but more importantly both of my trips wonrCOt be in this hot humid weather! WerCOll see if IrCOm successful in transitioning to that schedule in 2024.
This has been a really wonderful trip, even with the extreme hot weather. I absolutely love club level here, although itrCOs very difficult to get. IrCOll keep trying each time, hoping for the best. Holli loves it too, and appreciates all the nice touches, so sherCOs a great travel companion for these trips. I always enjoy spending time with Chris, Amanda & Ari, and IrCOm glad they enjoy this too. ArirCOs grown up coming to the lounge, starting when he was 6 weeks old (his first Disney trip).
My next trip will be with SB starting October 24th. Unfortunately, that trip became a cluster-**** when I didnrCOt have enough points at 11 months and had to settle for Old Key West since werCOd be traveling with another couple in a 2-bedroom villa. Now theyrCOve backed out so werCOre going to a resort I donrCOt want to be at, using a boatload of points for 2 people to be sharing a 2-bedroom villa. Sigh. DonrCOt get me wrong rCo Old Key West is lovely, but not for Food & Wine (or really any trip where the parks are priority rCo itrCOs too inconvenient with all those bus stops).
Thanks for reading along!
