Everyone Else Is Doing It... a solo trip report that we all know won't get finished

Oh my! That looks amazing. What exactly is it?

It’ll go fast. And you’ll get called up a bit near the end as a single rider I bet.

Pineapple upside down cake with Dole Whip on top.

That’s what I suspected, but the cake looked a little on the drier side so I wasn’t sure.

I usually just get floats.

It had less pineapple on it than usual

I’ve found the cake keeps me from getting a cold headache

Ugh.
Gonna stick with it or bail for another option?

Stick with it… I’m here again tomorrow for the end of my 4p1d, and I did HEA tonight, so my non-ride tomorrow can be something else. I’ll do 7DMT last thing tomorrow now, instead of Space.

Great ride of the night! Walked up right at 10:59. My feet are super excited that I brought epsom salt for a soak tonight & tomorrow.

This reminds me of a story I didn’t tell in my report. I was nervous before my first time and therefore a little chatty. Talking to the guy getting in next to me and telling him I was afraid of getting motion sick. I realize this talk might make him worried about the situation he could find himself in so totally end the conversation with, “oh don’t worry I promise I won’t throw up on you” :woman_facepalming::rofl: as the ride starts.

I stopped in Starbucks on Main St to get an iced latte for tomorrow, and some creep took a selfie with me in it :peacock:

He generously offered to share his Lyft back to the All Stars… the driver turned on the wrong driveway and we drove right past my room at Sports on the way to Music. Then we chatted way too long and now he gets to skip RD, but I do not. :melting_face:

I’m not skipping my foot soak, though.

He looks very smug right there. Did he charm you with his Cambridge don voice?

It was more in how happily he proclaimed that he’d scammed Disney today :joy:

So… the big day is here! The big knee is, as well… swelled a bit during/after yesterday’s 30k steps. It feels a bit less of an accomplishment and more of a punishment, considering I did 3 parks yesterday, and didn’t even start until noon, had a sit-down dinner, and made a stop back at the hotel.

That’s probably the reason for the big knee, so in light of that (and to keep me from having to skip a whole day to ice it tomorrow), I’m moving the goalpost for today. I’m still doing 4p1d, but instead of 2 rides (one headline), one non-ride, and a food or drink at each park I’m going for 2-3 attractions, sitting down for 30 minutes+, and food or drink at each park.

The first big change to the plan is that I realized while talking to @umbridgepink last night that I really don’t need to RD today. I’ve got my 8:00am KS and 11:00 GotG, and I think I’ll do Gorilla Falls and MJT. Breakfast at Y&Y QS.

Is this “less” bc it means you can forgo a standby wait if need be and rest your legs more? Because it doesn’t read as less.

And please keep posting! It gets quiet on the weekends around here, I know. But I’m all in now that I realize you’re here and I am one of the few who has more forum time on weekends than weekdays! :roller_coaster:

You’ll do great today! Our family’s style is to go hard and hope it all works out (it usually does). I know that’s not always the best strategy but when the decision has been made to go for it, well, go hard!!! :joy:

There’s that, and there’s also a little more opportunity for longer sits if I do more shows.
