We truly love all things Disney, so when DH suggested we take a last minute trip for 4th of July it was a no brainer that Disney World had to be included! I literally had 3 weeks to plan everything, but surprisingly even with the short planning time we were able to do so much in addition to our private tour.
7/2 - Our trip actually started with a couple of relaxation days at the beach in Destin, FL. We’ve been to beaches in the Bahamas, Mexico and all over the US- Destin beaches are definitely some of the best!

7/4 - This trip to Orlando was our first time driving. We usually fly in and take DME to our hotel, but it was so nice having more flexibility with transportation and taking our time. One thing we didn’t expect though, were all the tolls we had to go through. We don’t carry a lot of cash, so we were scrambling to find any coins we could! Thankfully we made it through and before we arrived, we got a text that said our room was ready just before 3pm.
We arrived at our favorite resort, the Contemporary, valeted the car and went straight to our room on the 11th floor. We stay at CR every time...I’m sure the other resorts are wonderful too but the view of and walking distance to MK is just perfect for us.
I didn’t get a room pic this time, but it looked the same as our previous trips. Not much “theme” but very nicely decorated:

We stayed Club Level the last time, but just a standard theme park room on this trip. The view was equally as nice!
We watched the 4th of July Celebrate America fireworks from our balcony, and it was absolutely fantastic! It stormed a lot that evening so the fireworks were delayed, but when they finally went off the skies lit up and it was spectacular.
We were excited to wake up the next morning and start our day at MK, bright and early....
