He was 4; but we did not go when he was 5 or 6. I likely would have had one if we had gone at least one of those years. We returned when he was 7. It was a short trip (the shortest we have done). We just had 4 park days so I didn't get one. There were a couple of times he mentioned he...

Hello, joining in for July planning. Our last 3 trips (2017, 2018 and 2019) have been in August; but my son's soccer club is doing a summer camp in Orlando and we decided to go down a week before it starts for some Disney time. We're arriving July 9 and leaving (for his camp) on the 15th. His...

I took my daughter as a lap baby. She was my "laid back, easy to entertain, just talk to me or have a snack for me and I'm fine" child. Flew cross country with her. I even watched a movie (with one ear bud in). I did have this thing connecting her to my seat belt. I can't remember what it...

@The13thLetter I understand. We took my mom with us on this trip and I am so glad we did it. She's probably going to be one and done with Disney, she's getting older and has a bit of arthritis. The kids also loved having her with us. Our previous trips together were Thanksgiving trips to the...

I hear you. With the exception of our most recent trip when my mom was with us, I am always alone with my 2 children. Until the last couple of trips since my daughter is older, there's no switching off, splitting up, or anything like that. We either all wait or we all miss it. OP, good for...

I understand as our trip was great; but also much different this year as well.

As a parent who has given too much power to one of her children regarding stuff like this I have to agree with the above post. I am not saying they are doing it intentionally; but my oldest would tend to be just like that. I don't want to go; but don't go without me. Since you would still be...

Hello all. We returned home yesterday. I didn't have my laptop with me so I didn't post while we were gone. Thankfully we did not experience the same delays on our trip home as we did leaving. On Arrival Day: We ended up leaving our home airport around 9:00 pm. Our original departure time...

Well got to the airport and checked in without incident. Said goodbye to our suitcases only to find out our flight is delayed 2.5 hours. That's longer than it takes to get there. We're doing okay passing the time. And I called Magical Express to confirm I could claim our bags and they wouldn't...

I understand to some extent. This will be the first trip that isn't just my children and me. My mom is coming. She has never been. The children are so excited about showing her around Disney and I have worried that she won't enjoy herself and the children will be disappointed. I challenged...

I just work from previous list and adjust it according to the number of days. Last year's trip was 10 days and this one is 6; so I just changed the numbers.

Ain't that the truth. Every time I come home from the store I think of something else that's needed. And I was working from a list. Thankfully I can still add to my Instacart order. The bags are closed and I don't feel like packing another thing.

When I went to set the date, there were several dates showing for me to choose from. Today's date was there as well as tomorrow, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Usually I don't order more than a day in advance with Instacart. I like both and have used both at Disney and at home. I have also...

Well, we are checked in for our flight. We are flying Southwest. Got B1-B4. Didn't buy early bird check in. I only get it for our return flight because like most we are usually in a park 24 hours before our return so don't want to bother. Got one other item out of the way. My son is with...

Sitting here counting down the last few minutes until I can check in for our flight. When they say 24 hours, they mean it. Tried 5 minutes early. Finalized our Instacart order and set the time and got my daughter a blood test her pediatrician ordered. She was thinking of postponing it; but...

Have a great time. We won't be far behind.

Can finally say we are leaving tomorrow. The usually quiet drive to my daughter's school was live with conversation about our upcoming trip. Instead of taking her usual power nap, she talked to her brother about the plans and asked me what she needed to do after school today. She decided to...

It is really hard I know. The struggle is real over here.

Oh no! I hope he's better and it isn't anything contagious.

And so begins the longest 3 days known to man: the last work/school days before vacation. Hopefully being busy helps. I have a full load today, then ds has his final sculpture class this evening. I'm hitting the bank later this morning for cash and to make a transfer between accounts. My...
