I've been a little MIA in the Trip Report section, but I'm back and I'm going to binge this TR! Just to not overwhelm you I've tried not to quote quite so much!
Our wake up time was 3am, ugh! I always think the early morning flights are the best at the time of booking, however, when the time arrives, not so much.
It always seems like a good idea because you get there earlier... my dad runs into this regret often! Even after I remind him how bad the early morning is!
The resort is huge, the bus takes almost 30 minutes to go around the resort coming back from the parks. We started getting off at the Pennisular bus stop and walking, it saved us over 15 minutes of bus time.
Wowza, that is an enormous resort. Who wants to spend an extra 30 minutes on a bus?!
We also found toenail clippings on the floor in the little kitchen area and a lot of hair in the bathroom. This was gross, we could tell the floors had not been cleaned at all before our arrival.
Oh heck no! That is so disgusting. Thank goodness they compensated you.
Life has been rough for me the last couple weeks. My dad died suddenly at home and during this I ended up with a stomach virus that took me out for 3 days! Let’s just say I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy!
My dad lived a long and adventurous life, he was 86 and was able to live at home with my mom until the end.
He started my love of traveling! My dad loved to see the world and he was generous enough to take his children with him.
I was able to travel to many places including some of my favorites Australia, Figi, Galápagos Islands, and all over Europe.
My dad did have end stage Parkinson’s and even at the end he never complained and always tried to do everything himself!
My dad has a beautiful lake place in Michigan and we as a family will celebrate his life in the spring months. This is what he wanted. We are trying to help my mom now since she has spent the last 65 years with my dad and now feels a big loss!
I will be back soon to update
Thanks for listening!
Oh, Caroline, I know this is belated, but I am so sorry to hear about your father. What a difficult year.
Thank you for sharing the stories about your dad, he sounds like he had a very full and happy life; and he must have been pretty special to raise someone as wonderful as you!
We all know, the famous saying from our non Disney friends, “Haven’t you done and seen everything there?” Roll eyes! No my friend there is always something new to discover and find happiness in!
Ugh non-Disney folks just don't get it. PLUS, I love the stuff I've already done. It's familiar and comforting and feels like home. (these same people then go to the same beach resorts and waste away on a beach for their vacations! lol)
This is priceless!
This is soooo cute!
We just took it all in and savored the treats and the wonderful HEA show. This party took away the stress of finding a spot to watch HEA and increased the enjoyment by 100% for me. Tink flew right over us, it was amazing, she was so close!!
Well, you did it! I'm finally sold on a dessert party! When everything is back up and running again I for sure want to check this version out.
Hahaha your pirate impression is too perfect!
What a great photo of Andi!
We had a rowdy group of kids next to us. They kept running around the chairs and bumping into everything. This was a little distracting! The adults never said a word and basically ignored them.
Ughhh, I'm perfectly fine with kids being kids, but parents also need to be parents!
As we turned to leave, we ran right into Molly! This was perfect timing.
Aww how fun!
Love this photo, reminds me of all my happy memories with my dad at Disney!
We are also thinking about a November trip for Andi’s 21st Birthday
It is hard to believe my baby girl will be drinking age! She wants to drink around WS, responsibly of course!
I can't believe that she's almost old enough to (legally - I saw those sips!!!
) drink! And, what is this "responsibly" you speak of?
I ate snacks in the room. I had cheese and crackers, chips, and candy. Perfect TV watching food. It was a well needed lounge night at the resort for me.
That sounds like the PERFECT night. Like I'd fly to Disney right now just to do that.
My screen protector cracked and my rear camera didn’t work anymore! This really sucked! I couldn’t take any more of my award winning pictures!
Noooo, always a slight damper when that happens. Darn breakable phones!
This looks heavenly, I'm drooling!
This was a big step for me. I am a shy person and had not traveled solo to Disney and I was a little nervous
My husband bid me farewell and told me to have fun at my bloggers convention
Well, let me just say, I had the best time and met the nicest group of Diser’s! This was one of the best Disney trips I have had! I am forever grateful to have been included in this! I can’t wait to do this again!
Aww I'm so glad you went. I'm so glad I went! I'd really love to do it again someday, and put myself out there a bit more (struggle with that shy stuff myself).
This is Douglas, he is Andi’s pet rabbit. He is the cutest little guy. I call him my “grandbunny”. She sends me pictures and videos everyday of little Doug and it helps me feel happy, especially at work these days! She bought him a harness and takes him out in the yard!
This brought me so much joy, which is very hard to come by these days. What a sweet grandbunny! How has work been for you? I hope you have plenty of PPE and safety precautions!
There was a huge family next to us. They were talking about their trip and how they don’t feel the need to come back to WDW, what? Blasphemy, I say!!
Pshhh more room for the rest of us!
His little white feets! I love him!
two queen beds (which is not the norm for DVC studio)
I sooo wish it was the norm because those sofa beds are really uncomfortable.
Festival of Arts or FArts
was a fun time as well.
This festival looked so fun in your TR, really need to get down there in January some year!
One main reason is COVID-19 cases are high and this virus isn’t going anywhere for awhile and I need to do my part.
Love this about you - big long distance hug!
March 20-27 at CSR Tower room, excited to stay here again.
Argh so close but so far to my tentative travel days! What if I just go twice in March?
This one is too funny!
I am now on 2 weeks of vacation and I only have to use 3 vacation days.

Way to make me tear up, Andi!!
