Okay, so now that it is over, I am here! But I am committed to reading through this whole thing! As you may know, our trip is in 37 days!!! And I am down to the excruciating waiting between all the planning and the actual going. So I am now catching up on everyone's reports! It is your turn. I think I may not have finished one or two of your earlier reports but I am going to just make my way through this one and then go back and see if there are any others I need to catch up on. I hope you don't mind reliving it one more time through all my comments! I'm sure it will take me a few days but I am going to get through it!
Hi Renee! Great to see you here! Always happy to read your comments. So excited for your trip! Hope you get good weather!
I keep dreaming about trying Yachtsman! It won't be on one of our short 2018 trips but maybe 2019. I was holding it for 2020 since I am going to try to do Beach Club or Boardwalk that year but I may not be able to wait. How was it with the fam? I'm afraid to take my crazy boys!
You know, it was fine. At that time at night, the restaurant was busy and there was enough noise and hustle and bustle that no one really noticed when Bryan squirmed off his seat and decided to run around the table. Haha.
I love your shirt. Mulan is one bad*ss and I love that so I really need one of her shirts!
There needs to be more Mulan stuff out there! It's hard to find!
Though Luke Evans is nice to look at!
Oh for sure!!
OMG he is absolutely adorable!
He is a cutie. He has puppy dog eyes and you can't say no to him. At least I can't, LOL.
Okay, so we will be getting one set of APs to cover our 2019 and 2020 big trips (and any other trips in between that I can squeeze in) so I am thinking TiW may be our best bet but I guess I need to run the numbers between that and the dining plan. I only consider the plan because with two kids it can actually work sometimes. But I am not sure which way we will go yet.
Yeah it's great if you like your cocktails (hehe) because the discount applies to that! The price went up recently to 150 so you'd have to see if it's worth it. It was great for large groups and we definitely got our money's worth for the August trip alone!
Aww thanks! It's so much longer now!
Flight delays are the worst esp before a Disney trip.
It has to get better, right???
Only way it can go is UP at that point.
It is good to not be the only Disney expert on the trip!
Haha her area of expertise is only character meet n greet times, autograph books, and pressed pennies.
I love them! I might need to place an order!
She does a great job!
That's why we prefer the boat at WL. Some of them we had to fold the stroller but most of them were big and it fit just fine without being closed up. It is also part of the reason we drive our car to all the other parks!
Ah good to know! Maybe WL for next time!
Fantastic report! I have loved following along over the years...but I was really interested see the littler members of your family at WDW! You did a wonderful job planning for a large group...and I loved the smiles (though Caylee’s side-eye reminded me of my own kiddo on her early trips!)!
Thank you so much for reading! I really appreciate it!!
Thanks! It was a pleasure to plan, really, since I can do this stuff so easily. Everyone else thought it was so daunting.
Caylee is still the same - sweet girl, just so suspicious of everything. And today she asked for another Minnie car, LOL.
I love this. Will is definitely atll enough for 7D this time but he wants to do Splash. At his last doctor's appt about a month ago, he was 39.5 without shoes. So I feel like maybe he has a shot. But we shall see. I told he wasn't quite tall enough yet but he might be in time for the trip.
I think he's got a good shot!
Fingers crossed he gets to ride splash!
HAHAHA...I can laugh only because I have a very similar photo of AJ!
OMG she's still traumatized and I'm certain she'll never go on mine train again. Hahaha.
My kids are obsessed with pressed pennies! We have a few full pressed penny wallets at home!
They are so cute and keep the kids so engaged!
I have a few microfiber type washcloths that I take as well. I didn't want to commit to a huge towel but what I have works!
They worked really well, I'm glad I brought one.
I think AK might the worst in the rain. It is just so hot and muggy already that the rain isn't really a cool off thing. It just adds to the mugginess.
It is!! It's so horrendous in the rain!
So glad I got all my boys on this in June and that my mom got to catch it in 2016.
So sad it was our last times on the ride. I'm sure the new ride will be awesome but there's something so nostalgic for this ride.
She got really good at giving it throughout the trip!
Totally agree. If we schedula a FP, we usually didn't need it but if we try to ride standby, the line is long. Go figure!
I know, always the case!
So fun! Love the dress! Hot Topic? Somewhere else?
Yup Hot Topic!!
Is this a thing? I will have to remember that we can do this! We have committed to doing Tiki Room this trip since we don't usually and there are rumors of its demise.
Yup it's been a thing for I think 2 years now. It makes Tiki Room that much more enjoyable!!
My non prescription sunglasses kept fogging up too. My prescription ones were fine but I didn't want to risk losing them some days so I took a cheap pair!
Good idea! I've broken nice sunglasses at Disney before.
I don't understand why they can't just create a separate line for those coming from the monorail?!?
I think I need to pick up this pose too!
I think we all should! I have adopted it at times but mainly only with princesses.
Yes, hahaha, karma for me. I'm still gonna do it though.
Definitely dealt with this before! Thank goodness those days are behind me!
I'm sure you don't miss it!
I totally admit it...I'm a nacho fiend!
Me too, and the Epcot ones are sooooo good!!
