20th Anniversary Trips - A PTR for a first ever Disney Cruise and a trip to California!

How clever and a great use of them! Especially the oldest ones that are probably defunct now! I just got my DS his first magic band. How is my baby going to be 3 on Saturday?!

Sadly even some of the newer ones have died. It's kind of luck of the draw on whether they will work when we get to the parks.

Happy Birthday! I hope it was a good 3rd birthday! I always say it goes by fast and slow all at the same time!

That's hilarious! They sure do add up though, and just think how many were FREE!!!! (I don't recommend thinking about the ones you had to pay for, LOL!)

We did one trip where we switched hotels 3 times and magic bands will still free and I got bands for all 3 hotels!!! ha I really worked the system! The new ones are so pricey but I am looking forward to using my band in Disneyland!

Love the tickets you made for the girls. I've been trying to figure out how to possibly get down there to ride Rock'n Rollercoaster and Muppetvision 3D one last time, too, but I just don't see it working out. I'll live vicariously through you

I didn't think we would. Gwen is SUPER excitied to get to see Muppets again. And Morgan is "mad" that muppets are taking over rock n rollercoaster. So she is also happy that we are going. We do plan to do all the things closing... Tom Sawyer Island, the Ferry Boat as well.

Joining in here, hi! I’m Maddie. I’ll be staying at CBR in June for the first time, let me know how you like it in April! I’m so jealous you get to see MuppetVision before it closes, I love the Muppets

Welcome!!! We have stayed at CBR a few times. We love it. It is big but with the Skyliner it's doesn't feel as big as it used to. Let me know what you want to know about the resort!

Well, I don't know how I have missed this until today. BUT - first, I want to hear all about the cruise. I keep toying with taking one but...I just don't know if I am a cruise person.

Second, as someone who drives that way all the time now to Disney - there is a Buc-ees right before you get on I-4. I somehow always miss it. But I THINK you actually pass 2 between Savannah and Disney.

I hope Morgan's trip to SCAD is wonderful. Have you reached out to admissions or anyone from the department to get a tour? If there is a particular major or department that Morgan is interested, I strongly recommend letting them know you are coming. Often, they can get you a special tour of their spaces, meet some current students, sit in on a class or something. I know we do that for anyone we know is coming.

I love the surprise and LOVE your fancy tickets! Well done! I’m so glad the girls are excited.

Renting cars, especially one-way rentals, is such a pain in the rear. We had a similar headache on a trip to California a few years ago and ended up switching plans to avoid a one-way rentals situation. Similar to you, it showed no cars available for a one-way rental (!) for the rental company we needed. I’m glad you found something that works for you. It’s too bad you have to haul everything all the way from the MCO airport - would it be better to keep the car for the few extra days and avoid the Uber fees? You’d be able to park for free at your Disney resort.

Your plans sound good. I’d also love to try the Wailulu Bar & Grill (the menu sounds so good!) and can’t wait to try the F&G food booths. Those menus should be released in a few days and I’m excited to see the offerings!

I hear what you’re saying regarding Hollywood Studios - there are so many headliners there. Honestly, I have zero doubt (even on a very busy day) that you could get a fourth lightning lane for Muppets 3-D - they have availability long after half the attraction options have disappeared. If you do use two days of HS, I’d even pick Star Tours or Swirling Saucers over Muppet 3-D for my preselection if you don’t want to use the usual Tower of Terror/TSM combination.

So, I had the exact same thought this weekend. And since it's still not round trip the car rental is alot to keep it. I was kind of bummed that it was so much more. I would have liked to not have to take an uber back to the airport...

We talked about this, this weekend as well. And really it's just that I want to get a LL for Slinky Dog Dash as well. my CHILDREN are less interested in that... It's really that all the good stuff is in the top tier... I get why they do it, but I wish they would stop with Fancy rides so there is more in the main groupings. Or something.
