    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 11 The kids were more than ready for some pool time and on our way we met some friends: We took a nice afternoon dip and then ordered a late lunch/early dinner from the Riviera quick service location Panini for me-this was pretty good but the chicken was basically a half...

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 10 We took a short walk through Italy and stopped on our way out for Gelato. The kids took care of that while I had my own snack from the Magnolia Terrace booth. I was nice enough to share but the Jumbolaya was a little spicy for them and honestly a little spicy for me but I...

    Magical May Part 9 Im team #mexicofirst when it comes to world showcase. None of the flower and garden items could compete with mine and Zs favorite Epcot snack so there was only one place to head We had the entire indoor seating area to ourselves, if I remember correctly it was not quite 11...

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 8 Despite the late night, we were able to get up bright and early. I made myself coffee and drank it out on the balcony while strategically tapping my phone to set us up with virtual queue and our first LL. After a quick breakfast of groceries in our room we were off to the sky...

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 8 After a tour of the WDW resort, everyone was ready to sit down and eat. Our waitress was very friendly with the kids which was a welcome change from some of our other recent dining experiences. The pacing of this meal also seemed to flow much better and we soon had drinks and...

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 7 The kids were eager to see what the next surprise of the day was. When we got here they figured it out: We were happy to see that the parking lot was relatively empty and hoped that was a good sign. They recently released FL resident discounted tickets and when we tried to go...

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 6 I wish we could say we all got a great night sleep and woke up ready to go for our first full day, but unfortunately I was suffering from allergies and couldn’t stop coughing once I laid down. I was able to shift some plans around and we were able to sleep in a bit. Once...

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 5 We finally got a chance to sample the food when our bread service arrived. Both kids tried and didn’t care for the fancy olive oil to dip. I ordered the burrata appetizer and that arrived around the same time. I shared some of the bread with the kids but the rest was all mine...

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 4 My original plan was to drop K off then go home, do laundry, and re-pack so that I could head to WDW bright and early for some solo time and have R bring the kids afterschool. By the time I got home though, I realized any relaxation I would achieve would be negated by the all...

    Trip Report An Orlando Move and some Disney Fun!

    Following along, so many flashbacks to our move to Florida from CT last year with another little black kitty in tow We were lucky enough to only need to move one small car with this precious cargo but we had similar luck in getting to NC on night one and even worse luck the next day.

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 3 We left Disney springs and I must have been feeling the effects of the alcohol because I put directions for Universal’s Dockside Resort into the GPS. Our reservation was not at Universals Dockside Resort but I did not find this out until after I waited in line to check in...

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 2 The next morning K and I managed to pull ourselves out of bed early enough to pack up the car and head to Orlando for brunch and a bar crawl. We started at Homecomin I had the watermelon moonshine mash and K got one of the larger moonshine drinks It was a beautiful day and...

    Trip Report The NeverEnding Story

    Magical May Part 1 Once we moved to Florida, I wondered if Disney trips would ever be the same again and came to the conclusion that I would still want to do longer trips from time to time. We had stayed at the Riviera on our April 2022 trip and I fell in love with it. I decided to book a 3...
