Trip Report: Dinner at the Boathouse (Day 4, Part 4 | November 2020)

 Our dinner reservation was at the Boathouse so we had to get to Disney Springs. We walked to the Contemporary to catch a bus. We waited about 15 minutes-definitely one of our longer waits, but we weren’t in a hurry. 

At Disney Springs we had about an hour to kill before our reservation. Can I talk about the Tigger plush wearing a mask at the temp check? He’s so cute!

We walked around and looked at the Christmas trees. We like this new Christmas Tree Stroll because it’s less congested. There was a map that you could complete and get a prize. It took awhile to find the maps, but we eventually found them at The House of Blues. We were able to find all the trees. The Fantasia-themed tree had a Baloo sticker, so I’m guessing there was a change for what that tree’s theme was supposed to be. The prize was a button. It isn’t anything fancy, but this was also a free activity.

Since we didn’t have any shopping to do, we checked in at the Boathouse a little early. We asked to sit outside to enjoy the view and were seated immediately. That was a happy surprise. Our waitress recognized my ears were from an Etsy shopped called Clearly Magic which was cool.

I got a cheeseburger-I didn’t write down my dad’s meal. He did get the blueberry lemonade which is an alcoholic drink and he did like it. We ordered a side of green beans, but they didn’t come with our meal. It worked out because that would’ve been way too much food. So, our waitress was nice and just took them off the bill.

I wasn’t feeling good again so we finished up and walked back to the room. I fell asleep pretty quickly.

Trip Report: Christmas Tree Trail (December 2018)

If you missed the last update, you can check it out here.

Next, we were off to Disney Springs. We took a bus. There was an ad for the Void which we were planning on doing anyways. So, I made a reservation for this evening.

My parents were going to see Mary Poppins Returns. My stepmom is a huge fan of the original. I had no interest and am not the biggest fan of the original-don't hate me. 

I took the time to wander around Disney Springs. I checked out some Christmas decor and stores. Then, I got a table near The Daily Poutine. I sat down and took some notes on our trip so far.

After they finished with their movie we met back up. They did enjoy the movie-if you care. Then, we were off to check out the Christmas Tree Trail. 

The trail is really cool and there were some pretty unique trees. Like there were Mulan and Haunted Mansion ones. I expected the Frozen one. Oh, and Robin Hood which just doesn't get enough recognition. The trees were so detailed and interesting. There was also posters and other theme-ing around the trees.

My only issue was the people. It was a little crowded which was expected, but people need to be more aware of those around them. I would wait "in line' to take pictures and people would just jump in front of the tree even though people were obviously waiting. I really just wanted pictures of the trees and up close shots, but didn't want to be in their pictures. Eventually, I just stopped caring and did what I had to do.

The trail is beautiful and a great free thing to check out at Disney for Christmas.
