I am a single mom with an 11 year old son. We travel alone to WDW at least once a year--our next trip is in 30 days! (August 15-31, WDW, DCL and Universal). I find our trips to be a great time to reconnect, after all the craziness of work/school/sports etc throughout the year. This will be...

30 days until my next Disney trip with my 11 year old son! WDW (POR and Beach Club), DCL (3 night Disney dream--first Disney Cruise!) and Universal (Hard Rock Hotel)!

Hi Lia, I rarely post but follow your trip reports closely and love them! I just wanted to tell you that I saw you at the Halloween party on Friday--it was when you walked through the villain's dance party very fast with Gina and LeeAnn behind you. I recognized all of you from your reports and...

Sorry- double post.

Hi! I am mostly a lurker but came out of lurkdom to post on your thread as well as Jess's thread- I have followed both of you from the beginning and love your reports. I really enjoy your humor, infectious energy and expressive way of describing your feelings and experiences. I am heading to...

Hi! I am mostly a lurker but have read every one of your reports and one of the very few times I ever posted was in your report when you discussed transferring colleges (the first time!) I am so very impressed by your writing skill, humor and passion for all the things you love, including your...

After lunch I decided to head over to Tom Sawyer Island because I knew Jordan would love running around there and the rain had stopped for the time being. I picked up a FP for Thunder Mountain before we left on our boat ride, because I just love that ride. So we took the boat over to Tom...

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! On our third day (second full day) my original plan was to do a full day at Epcot. However, I changed my mind based on how much we got done at Epcot the day before, and decided to do a morning at MK and afternoon/evening at Epcot. Also...

Yes, we got so much done on that first day and really every day of the trip! That first day of no crowds was great because we knocked out all of the headliners and I wasn't as stressed in Epcot or MK after that getting things done. I'm happy to hear that AKL without Savannah was fine. I...

Thanks Shondra. I think it will be ok taking him out for only 2 days. You are right, the memories and experience while he is still young are worth it! He is not the strongest student but works hard and hopefully the teacher will work with me in giving him work to make up on the plane!

I have been trying to get Sanaa reservations for 1/21/13 and still no luck. Hopefully it opens up soon!!!

So I just had to share...after a lot of contemplation, I just booked a new trip from January 16-January 21, 2013! I had a hard time deciding this...it is over MLK weekend, so Jordan is off from school Monday, but I have to take him out of school for 2 days, Thursday and Friday (we are leaving...

Aw thank you! Jordan is a great kid and this trip was a great bonding experience for us. It was very special. Yeah, the rain was definitely incredible, but we made it work for us. Jordan actually loves the rain and doesn't mind getting wet. I was the one that really had to adjust and...

After our break for lunch at the hotel, we were off to the Magic Kingdom! Before leaving, we went to the gift shop to buy the Mickey ponchos and new Disney hats. The ones we brought were just not cutting it. Jordan LOVED his new Mickey ear hat and wore it for the rest of the trip. He is not...

For our first full day in Disney, I had a plan. I set a wake up call for 6:45 a.m. to try to make opening at Epcot. Jordan was set on having "room service" for breakfast, because we did that every morning last Disney trip when we stayed off-sight. I told him no room service here, but I ran...

This mommy and me trip was really special. The tropical storm was actually a blessing in disguise--it was way more good than bad for us! I would definitely recommend WL at some point if you can stay. I will have trouble staying anywhere else, although would like to try all the Deluxe resorts...

8 years old is the perfect age for Disney, I think! They are so mobile at that age, don't tire out very quickly and we were able to do so much, especially just the 2 of us! I hope you have the same experience!

Yes, it was definitely our waiter! The restaurant is a fun place and I would try it again. I LOVED WL, and really am contemplating staying there again next year. It felt like home by the end of our trip, so easy to find your way around and soooo beautiful! Jordan really wants to try a...

It definitely didn't ruin our meal. Just not my personal favorite of the trip. I'm not sure if it being only 2 of us rather than a large rowdy bunch was something that impacted us in meals like this. Thanks for reading!

Yeah, I was a little disappointed by our server. I was so looking forward to our first dinner at WCC to show Jordan (and myself) some of the Disney magic here...we saw it all around us but not by our server. Jordan still had fun though!
