Wow! You packed a LOT into that first day! I can't believe you were all still standing by the time you got back to Kidani, lol. Your kids are adorable, and I love the outfits! Looking forward to the rest of your report.
I know!! I was really surprised that we accomplished so much that first day after waking up SO early. I think we were all so excited to be in Disney that we didn't want to stop. Would the exhaustion hit us later?
... follow along to see
I wish I had someone taking my photo when I scrolled down and saw that DELIGHTFUL mac and cheese cone. I might have said a bad word and drilled all over my shirt. Im sooooo sad FOR you that you couldn't get it!
Your daughters Sofia dresses were amazing! Do you make them all yourself? I really think that if you make them yourself you should totally start a business!
I would have been so bummed out too about TSMM, you handled it way cooler than I think most people would have. There is no way I would have not wanted to ride again so kudos to you for being the better person!
Ah that Mac & Cheese cone, I still dream about trying it. lol It looked SO DARN GOOD!
I can sew but not very well. Oh how I wish I had the talent to make my daughters' dresses. I buy or borrow them.
Looking back, I definitely should have said something about riding TSMM again! But I didn't want to cause a fuss.... and I knew we had another FP+ for it the very next day.
You better believe I did!!!!! It was my first encounter with Chik-fil-A and I was NOT missing out.
********
Despite it all, that's still a pretty nice view there Rachel.
Hahaha, I love the fact that you didn't wait when you got inside MGM. And clearly it worked out since you arrived at the same time. Incidentally, I wonder what we'll do now that we won't be able to say "I made my way up to the hat"?
Oh I don't like that you didn't get to ride again with a working gun. I've heard of them doing that before.
My goodness, the characters must absolutely love when you all show up with the kids dressed up like them.
Red Velvet Cupcake. That will be breakfast in the near future.
I'm still a Frozen guy too and enjoyed this show as well. I wish more people sang, but the one liners were pretty darn entertaining.
No more hat means I'm really going to get lost in HS!
I have absolutely no sense of direction and the hat was my only saving grace.
I am SO excited about this trip report! I am doing a split stay in May- also 1 bedroom villas with rented points, and also at AKL followed by BLT! My kids are similar ages to yours too so I feel like this is a glimpse into my future!
And as everyone else said, the costumes are just precious!
Oh wow, what a coincidence!! Well I can just tell you that you're going to love it!
Both 1 bedroom villas were AMAZING!! We did our HS & AK days while we stayed at AKV and our MK and second Epcot days while we stayed at BLT and that really seemed to cut down on our travel time. I feel like we didn't get enough resort time to really check out Kidani.... sadly we didn't even get a glimpse of the pool
But we would definitely stay at either resorts again (BLT is def my fav though!) and Joe & I are actually staying at AKV for two nights when we go back in May. Hopefully we'll get to check out the pool this time.
YAY! An update!!!!
As usual, awesome outfits on all the kids.
We had the same thing happen to us with the Frozen FP+ on our trip! In general, we found that to actually get FP seating, you had to arrive ten minutes BEFORE the start of your FP+ time for any show/parade experience. It was frustrating...
But not as frustrating as your TSM experience! Bummer!
Good to know! We arrived a few minutes early for a FP parade seating later in the trip to find that they were already allowing people into the FP area and the front row was already full. SO frustrating!
Even my boys love Sofia! My 6 year old won't admit it but he secretly loves her too, can't wait to see her & see Disney Junior again.
We are a Frozen loving family too so I'm excited to see the sing along.
Your adult drink sounds wonderful, too bad I can't drink until July.
Good idea on the uncristables for the kids!
I sometimes catch Donovan watching Sofia when the girls put it on.
You're going to love the Frozen sing-a-long. Just arrive early if you have a FP for it.
July babies rock!
It's the best month to have a birthday!
Joining in for the rest of the trip! Your kids (and their outfits) are so cute! (My personal favourite might be Jorie's Goofy outfit, it's adorable! But the Frozen outfits are amazing as well.)
Glad to hear Jorie and Donovan got the Jedi timeslots! That must've been stressful hearing all those times getting called one by one
And those cupcakes looked amazing, I've always intended to stop but we've never gotten around to it! I'll have to make it a priority in May.
and thank you for such kind words!
Eeeek! I know, we were getting really close to our dinner ADR time! I'm not sure what we would have done if we didn't get into the 4:10 show. Thankfully we did and we didn't have to choose between the two.
So many people rave about the Butterfinger cupcake that I had to try it for myself and I have to say they are definitely worth stopping in for!
Bummer about TSMM!
The girls look so cute decked out as Sophia!
I agree that the one-liners in the Frozen show are pretty funny- definitely keeps it fresh for the 'older' Frozen fans!
I didn't know Max met in DHS- what a good find!
We were excited to find Max! - he was right by the hat..... oh so sad that we're not going to be able to say that anymore
I'm going to miss the hat!
The girls' Sofia dresses are just so cute! Not gonna lie, I adore Sofia.
Those cupcakes...YUM!! I have tried the Butterfinger, and it didn't disappoint. But I sill haven't tried the Red Velvet, and I absolutely MUST try it on our next trip. It looks so delicious! And with a big family, it's great that they are so huge so they are easy to share.
The Frozen Sing-Along seems like a lot of fun. We aren't sick of Frozen yet either! I can't wait to take DS to meet Anna & Elsa next trip...hopefully we can get a FP+ because it just won't happen if the lines are still outrageous.
Yes you need to try the Red Velvet! (shhh, I may have liked it better than the Butterfinger
)
We LOVE anything and everything Frozen! The Sing-a-long was SO much fun and later in the trip when we meet Anna & Elsa, the girls were speechless! Oh I hope you get a FP for A&E!!!
