It's kind of funny that Howard and I both reading the start of this TR separately on our own computers at this exact moment, haha. I think Disney would be the ONLY place I'd be okay going by myself at first because of Magical Express and all that. There's really no need to worry about getting around with the way Disney takes care of everything.
You still take really nice pictures! I like seeing the world through a solo adventurer!

Your pictures are good! Nice job!
You'll be covering World Cup Soccer at work? I'm so sorry...
Believe it or not, I had no trouble finding the Anna and Elsa barbie sized dolls shortly before Christmas to give as gifts. I must have just hit it right as I've heard so many complain about the lack of Frozen merchandise.
You look so happy! Married life must be agreeing with you!

Great morning!! Amazing how you can be boarding a plane in one moment, and walking towards Cinderella's castle the next!
Your Boardwalk view is gorgeous -- literally perfect!!
And, your photos are great! I like the F&G photos...I'd love to visit Epcot during that festival sometime!
Our cruise was wonderful....I plan on starting a report VERY soon! And, would love a DC DISmeet
I'd actually love to hear about your DVC experience...we visit enough now that I am beginning to wonder about it...

Brilliant start and hey I'm very impressed with the pics so far You can tell that gorgeous smile of yours just comes from the heart
Our first day traditions generally involve trying to stay awake so that we recover from jet-lag asap. I'm one of those freaks that cant properly start my hols unless I've unpacked
So I normally do that with the others helping until they either get bored or get in my road 
(patience is a virtue I may lack after 9 hour flight 
) at which point hubby takes kids to pool and I join them as soon as I'm done. This last 2 years we've had QS at the pool before that we were the family who had children sleeping with their heads on the table at 7pm (midnight our time). We are ALWAYS up before the sun on our first day and MK is always the first park we hit unless we are heading to the darkside for a day sssshhhh!!

This is such a fun trip report already! I also think you were being too hard on yourself about the photos -- I think they are great so far and I'm really enjoying the selfies, too! They're just so much fun and capture a feeling in a moment! Also... I feel ya about the boardwalk resorts... love the others but love love love those ones! And yum... funnel cake... I want some right now!

So excited for your trip report. I was following on your facebook page and looking to hear all about your trip. I haven't been to WDW since 2003 and we are going the day after thanksgiving this year and I can't wait. I'm hoping my fiancee loves it as much as I do so that we can keep going back! Love your pictures they are great! Look forward to seeing Franklin's also!

EEK I cannot imagine waiting 4 hours to meet a princess especially with children! Right now I am super happy to have been blessed with boys who could care less. I think I am pretty spoiled that generally I won't wait more then 30-40mins for anything at WDW and for that it would have to be good...like TSM on our last trip! Love the report so far!

I LOVE your necklace! It's beautiful!
I don't love the new DME video either. I miss the videos of kids getting surprised with trips, and the Disney characters checking in. I did like the interviews with CMs though!
Psh, you don't give yourself enough credit, those resort photos are gorgeous!
We try to go to Downtown Disney on our first day. When we went in August we walked in and Part of Your World was playing. It was a moment of pure Disney magic. Plus we get to start our trip with snacks, shopping, and pin trading

Following along!
My partner (now husband!) and I were at Disney just a few days before you. It was our first stay at the Boardwalk to celebrate our wedding. (We're calling it a minimoon rather than a honeymoon since we're taking a longer honeymoon trip to DLR and Hawaii in the fall.)
I read all of your other trip reports in the weeks leading up to our May trip. So excited you've got another one started!
My husband doesn't get much time off from work, so we generally fly down late in the evening so we can get in as much Disney time as possible. On both of our trips together so far, our first park has been AK the morning after arrival. Other than that no arrival traditions...just feeling overjoyed to be at the World!

What a gorgeous day! I love the view from your room Looks like you got a lot accomplished in your first half of your day.
I'll be taking a plane to Orlando in July and this will be my first time riding with Jet Blue. I'm glad it gets a thumbs up from you because I was kind of nervous about flying. It's been a really long time!
