    True Cost of an AP

    Gold pass member here 🙋🏼‍♀️ I have FP on my FL resident pass. I’m also a teacher who has decided that my AP is important to me and I budget for the $54 monthly payment. While our pay is low compared to many states (not here to get into that) myself and many of my coworkers have APs. We often say...

    Trip Report Wishes Heads West!

    Fireworks started at 9:30 and was the first time I got a little teary. The show was Disneyland Forever, and the opening was incredible. We headed through Adventureland to get some food for Lauren. We grabbed some of the Beef Skewers, and I totally forget which ones. Dad and I shared one, and...

    Trip Report Wishes Heads West!

    We rode the teacups (4:30) and then did the castle walkthrough. Some guy had a snack in his hand that looked incredible, so I had to ask him about it. It was the garlic bagel twist, which them immediately ended up on my must do list. Before snacks, we headed to the Carousel. Belle showed up...

    I LOVED MICKEY’S SOUNDSATIONAL PARADE!! I thought it was so fun and different, which could just be because I see Festival of Fantasy all the time. We did find it odd that Mary Poppins is what they chose to close the parade with. We went back to ride Roger Rabbit at 4:00. I liked the ride, but...

    Our next stop was Fantasyland. Most of the dark rides here had really short waits, so they had us take the wheelchair right through the exit. We were able to get on all of the rides in a really short amount of time! We rode Snow White’s Scary Adventures (12:28) which we miss so much at WDW. It...

    Trip Report Wishes Heads West!

    We headed back across the walkway to Thunder Mountain (11:00). Then we headed back to Main Street for lunch. We arrived early, and they were still switching over to lunch, so we had to wait a bit. They gave us a menu to look at, we traded some pins, and received some buttons from the hostess...

    Tarzan's Treehouse continued Then we hopped on Haunted Mansion (9:10). I really liked the outside of this attraction. Honestly, I am not a huge fan of haunted Mansion. I know I’m probably in the minority in saying it, but neither park’s version does much for me. We headed for critter country...

    We headed to Jungle Cruise next (8:28) and then Pirates of the Caribbean (8:42). I LOVE WDW’s Pirates so much and DL did not disappoint. I don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t gotten to experience in yet (@breinsel) but I loved the way that this version told the story. We walked...

    I was in no way expecting as much chaos as there was on the Walk of Fame. But we found the stars we wanted and it was fun walking past and seeing all the names.

    Sunday was our day to explore LA and the surrounding area. We followed a 1 day itinerary off of Pinterest, and added in a few things as we saw fit. First up was sidecar donuts. Some health food blogger my sister loves eats here all the time (my sister is allergic to gluten and dairy, so...

    We arrived at John Wayne Airport on Saturday evening and headed for our resort in Newport Beach. As I mentioned, we are only doing 2 park days, and exploring other places the rest of the week, so this resort was a good pick! We didn’t do much else other than grabbing some groceries, because...

    Thanks @ajrwdwgirl! I’ve been following your report but have yet to comment! Thanks for all the tips, the mint julep bar is definitely a must do. We may not even bother with Galaxy’s Edge, none of us are really Star Wars fans, so I may just wait until WDW crowds thin out and experience it all in...
