Summary Time Overall, our first Disney trip as a family of three is obviously one we'll remember, for a lot of reasons. Irma tried to get the best of us, and it definitely did put a damper on some of our days, but it's a story we can tell E for many years to come! I'd like to wrap things up on...

Thank you - it was definitely stressful, and the cops were sure to warn us that these cases rarely have a happy ending. I think there will be some residual relationship impacts among the family, but we're happy to have him back! Thank you!! Agreed - it's so much fun to basically be able to...

I apologize for disappearing for a few days - my grandpa has dementia, and managed to go for a drive in his truck and get lost on Saturday. The police got involved, etc. It was a big, scary situation - but they eventually found him about 15 hours after he left home. He drove to a "park" (we...

Day Five: Nana (x2) Our marathon travel day began with a fueling adventure at Boma. This was originally a dinner reservation for this same day, meant to fill us up after a day at Typhoon Lagoon. Thankfully, there were plenty of last-minute reservations available for breakfast, and that saved us...

That's great! It's definitely a relaxing place, but with plenty of areas to explore.

Day Four, Part Five: Un! Un! When we left off, we had finished entertaining the crowds with our wonderful drum playing. It was almost time for our FOP FP+, so we headed back to Pandora. The wait for the River Journey was still under 20 minutes, and we knew E would love experiencing it again, so...

I don't know if it's new ... but I certainly didn't know about it. We happened upon it because E dragged us there :) If you look at the map below, you have to go over the dinosaur skeleton bridge to get to it. It's separated from the rest of the Boneyard, but also fenced in so that you can't...

Day Four, Part Four: Bums After we met "Hanas", it was a little after 1, so the plan was for E to take her stroller nap. Well ... girlfriend was in charge today, and was not feeling the nap situation. OK ... where to burn off some toddler energy? Somewhere I've never actually visited: I had...

Day Four, Part Three: Oofs Our Friday was already going very well - we had visited Pandora and seen quite a few animal friends. Next up was our (admittedly worthless) Safari FP+. I say worthless, because we walked right on, along with everyone that didn't have a FP+. We expected E to love this...

I value this feedback so much - it actually made me tear up a little. So happy I could help with your joyful memories, and actually writing the report is really helping me to look back and see everything in such a positive light after all of the stress that I was worried would "ruin" the magic...

Exactly. After everything was over and Orlando was mostly fine, there was some regret because the resort entertainment offerings on Sunday looked spectacular and it could've been one of those "I Was There When ..." moments. BUT, safety is number one priority in all natural disaster type...

Day Four, Part Two: Isp! Now we were ready for the fun to begin. We officially knew this would be our last full Disney day of the trip, and we were determined to put everything else out of mind and enjoy it to the fullest! We got to the park around 8:45 before the 9:00 opening, and once again...

Day Four, Part One: Hurricane Happenings This post will strictly be about how we handled the impending hurricane Friday morning. If you just want park touring, that'll be my very next post! After an admittedly restless night, we woke up pretty early to get ready to go to Animal Kingdom. This...

Thanks for joining! More Irma-related news in my next post coming later today. Thank you!! :) I applaud you going with a 13mo - I don't think I could be that ambitious. E was barely walking at that point!

Day Three, Part Four: "Sim, sim, sim" Our bus ride back from EPCOT was blessedly quick, and I hopped behind 2 other people that were in line at the concierge desk. Jeff and E had plans to go swimming ("sim", as E calls it), but they caught some Mickey Mouse cartoons on in the lobby and plopped...

Ha! Thanks?

Day Three, Part Three: "Babies!" When we finally emerged from Mexico, it was unsurprisingly still hot. On our way to the nearest diaper-changing spot, we passed an ice cream cart ... and you can guess what happened next. A momentous life event, that's what. E's first Mickey Bar! After we...

I don't know that Kristoff does any meets at WDW. Olaf meets at HS, but we avoided that park this trip. I have sadly never been to DL, but I took Jeff on a Disney cruise for his 30th birthday three years ago, and I've been dropping hints that he could take me to DL for my 30th next year ...

Day Three, Part Two: "Baboff" A bit of background here is probably good. My girlie E is absolutely obsessed with most things Frozen, and especially Kristoff. About 2 months ago I happened upon a gently used set of Frozen figurines (that accidentally also came with Snow White's prince that Jeff...

Day Three, Part One: "Mittey" This morning was definitely all about our pal Mickey. We met him twice and ate his delicious waffles! Our plan today was to wander EPCOT and have a slower pace so that E could recover from our long day in the Magic Kingdom. EPCOT had morning EMH this day, but we...
