Trip Report We are GROOT!

Hello friends! Well it has finally arrived and the five of us are packed up and headed to Disney World for a mega trip. We are on the road now and stopping in Columbia, South Carolina for the night. (Max we also have 2 Toyotas)We left a little later than we wanted to because our 2 cats, sensing our departure, escaped outside.

The cast is the same as usual, my crazy Disney family, my husband, Den, my oldest son Hunter, 18, middle child Camden, 11, Brinley, 7 and me, Deighton! Hunter graduated from highschool on June 2 and is doing a year at community College to get his prerequisites out of the way. Our extended trip is his graduation present. (His choice! Who am I to say no.) Plenty of details to come! Happy Thursday everyone! Woohoo!!

Did you all enjoy Tutto Italia? Headed there for the first time on my next trip.

Tutto Italia is one of our favorites! We only had salads this trip because we way over ate!

same! you can never be too careful, especially in this day and age.

Thanks for all the likes, loves and haha! Plus following! You are the best!

After a few trips that sickness ensued, I always clean before anyone goes in the room. Plus, I get to see it first

How was the edamame? Shockingly, salty edamame is my hangover cure

That is a great idea! It makes sense. Salt and protein. I will pass on the information as a bartender!

We had another magical meet-up today! @riverside and Camden met today. It was so sweet to listen to them talking Disney together and even a bit of Universal. Disney friends are the best!

It was so much fun as was yesterday’s visit!! Everyone, I gotta tell you @littleroo has the friendliest, most polite kids!! They are truly a pleasure to talk to!!

 

[littleroo]

Thank you for your sweet words @riverside At least they act like that in public The newest meet up yesterday was with Brin and riverside. Brin was shy at first but completely sold at the end of the Disney conversation with her new friend.

We had a meeting of the minds at lunch. Does anyone want to go back and rest? It was unanimous everyone said no! What do you want to do? It was unanimous, all kids wanted to stay in Epcot and take our time around the world. Off to Mexico we went and took some pictures along the way!View attachment 724086View attachment 724087View attachment 724088

Thanks for following! Den got the guardians shirt at Macy's and it is still available. I just looked it up. It has been worn many times and has held up really well.

It’s the truth!! Your kids are so sweet!! I still need to meet Hunter!! Can’t wait!!
Upon first meeting I will say that Cam was more outgoing than Brin but once she warmed up she definitely rivaled hm!!
Your kids are wonderful-they definitely take after mom & dad!!

I highly recommend it and so does my crew! The clock strikes 12 at CRT is delicious, too. I would go back just for that!

Good Morning and happy Sunday! It is time to wrap up this thread and get ready for the next which is only a little over a month away. Hooray! I end with where we began... to those who followed you may recall that the first place we stopped in Florida was the Disney Warehouse. We purchased a few items and really we were not overly impressed but I did score a Guardians of the Galaxy collection of miniature characters. As promised, Den and Brin pulled through and made them into Christmas decorations for me!

Friends, if you have not seen GOG, please watch it! It is hilarious with a lot of heart!

Now I have to come up with a new name for our January trip! Hmmm.....

Too funny! We just watched it to get some use out of our Disney+ subscription. Great soundtrack! Always good to watch a Disney show to get you ready for a Disney trip!

Have a great trip!
