"Let's See What We Can See!"- Surviving WDW With Three Under 3! COMPLETED 2/18!

[Sarahh1027]

Your trip report has been so helpful in planning my large group vacation this May with my littles!! Ill probably reread parts of your trip in the next couple months too haha
Selfishly hoping you and Haley can plan another WDW trip soon so I can live through you guys!

I feel like you deserve a great big round of applause for wrapping up not only this incredible trip, but also a full TR and your TR within the TR!!

Walking through this lobby always reminds me of the Full House WDW episode. Sing to me, Uncle Jesse!

YES! EVERY time!

Then, she proceeded to go back to her squad car, grab said coworker, and then all 3 of them gabbed about Disney World for the next 10 minutes. I love it- Disney bringing people together and saving my mom from a ticket! They sent her on her merry way without so much as a slap on the wrist.

This is amazing. I once was with a friend who got pulled over, but I happened to have taught the son of the officer, so we ended up catching up and talking about how he was on his way to Homecoming. She pulled out her phone to show me pictures and everything. No tickets, no warnings. She was lucky to have me riding along!! LOL!

6. RELAX and don’t be married to the plan. If things don’t go to plan, breathe, go with the flow, and know that EVERYTHING WILL BE OK.

I need this reminder for every day of my life, honestly!!! But it is solid advice for Disney trips, too!

We have briefly mentioned November/December 2025 to see the Christmas festivities.

I don't suppose you'll be there from Christmas to New Year's, but that's when we'll be there!!!

So sad to see your trip come to an end! What fun memories you all made together. Thank you for sharing the fun with us!

I can't believe the report is done. I am going to miss reading it. The trip sounded like a lot of fun despite a few hiccups or craziness.

Our next trip will be in a few years when our friend's twin girls are about 6 or 7. I can't get them to go sooner. So it will be either 6-8 of us depending on if my kids go. Both might be out of college by then. I will be the planner of the group with maybe my son helping (he got into on our last trip when he went with the band and he was the planner of his group of friends). I am excited and nervous at the same time.

Great trip report and some great tips in here! We're doing a full family trip for the first time with my daughter this summer. She'll be 10 months old plus there will be 9 of us adults. Definitely writing down some of the things you guys did with Ethan / ways you worked together to make it successful and fun for all!

Your monorail crawl sounded like the perfect way to end your trip! It’s a ride and a tour (with food opportunities!) all in one!

I tried those pulled pork nachos last May and I… didn’t love them? I think the main problem is I ordered them to-go (I ate them during our pool time) and I didn’t get a chance to open the box for 20-30 minutes while we fed the girls. I’d love another chance to try them… or perhaps I’ll try the ahi tuna nachos at Wailulu Bar & Grill at the Island tower because those sound GREAT.

Oh, poor Haley being over vacation… I know the feeling! I’m glad the drink helped. I’m also glad you had a relatively easy travel day (except for your poor mom). At least she was pulled over by another Disney fan!

I’ve LOVED reading your trip report - thank you so much for writing it! You did an excellent job coordinating a trip for so many people - I think it says a lot that you went again last fall and plan to have another big family trip in the future! I think your main points at the end are dead-on, especially about large groups taking longer to do anything. You’re also right that you don’t need nearly the amount of stuff you think when traveling with young kids!

I’m sorry you had to cancel your Disney Paris adventure. I’m sure you’ll get another chance to do something equally amazing in the future. I’ve never been to Disneyland Paris but have been to Paris - it’s an amazing place. The (only slightly) less famous art museum Musee d’Orsay was my favorite of the bunch, but it makes sense as I love the impressionist painters. I also highly recommend a visit to Versailles - the palace and the grounds are beautiful.

Good luck with house hunting! I hope you’ll stick around here even though your report is wrapped up. It’s always nice to chat with you!

As another poster said, I too teared up at the end of your report! So many good memories were made. Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
