Great report, Kelly, as usual!! I've been reading your TRs for a few years and it's so crazy to see how the boys have grown up! You all seem like such a wonderful family and it's such a pleasure "getting to know you all" through your reports. What a bummer that so many rides were closed while...

I am so excited that you posted this TR! I've always wanted to go to Iceland - it's on my bucket list. I was going to ask about the language barrier. That's really helpful that everyone speaks English, but how are you supposed to pronounce the names of the restaurants or streets?!?! It looks...

Hellooooo my fellow WDWMagic-ers! I'm planning a December trip and with 4 people going, with their particular eating needs/habits, I'm finding it difficult to sketch out my ADRs. Here's the situation: I will eat pretty much anywhere, so I am not the problem ;). My mother insists that every...

I always love your Trip Reports! Your fam is too cute - it seems like you all get along really well, which is so nice to see. I just started playing golf - it's a great father/daughter bonding thing. Although, sometimes I just want to concentrate and do it the way I want, and he feels the...

Yay! Welcome back to the boards!! That's so cute how you surprised the kids with the trip! And I agree with everyone else - those cookies look awesome! Can I just say, I LOVE this dress and I love even more that your kiddo is doing the "princess curtsy." How adorable!!

LOL!!!! That's hysterical! What a great idea, to take a cruise during the holidays. I loathe Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc... for all those reasons you've listed. Unfortunately, we will be suffering through them the traditional way for the foreseeable future, but a vacation seems like a...

Good for you guys to have some quality time together on Valentine's Day! I am now adding Oreo bon bon's to my "must try" list for the next trip... And thank you so very much for the soccer boy eye candy!!!!!!!

I sooooooo agree! Those restaurants that are a little more upscale like Cali Grill, Citrico's, Narcoossee's, etc would be wonderful if they were 18+. Sometimes you need a break from the screaming children. Bravo to you and your mom for holding your tongue with that rowdy family nearby. Maybe...

Yay, welcome back, Hollybelle!!! Your little boy is just the cutest ever! He looks like a perfect mix of you and Brett. You guys are super brave to head to the World with such a little one, but I know that if I had a kiddo, I'd be chomping at the bit to get there, too! Congrats on your...

Congrats!!!!!! That is such a huge accomplishment - thanks for sharing your experience!

Aw, Kelly, thanks for your report!!! The best, as usual! You write so well, it makes me feel like I'm there with you. I'm so jealous that you can do a Caribbean cruise without having to fly to get to the ship. Although, I am close to NYC and I vaguely remember a Disney cruise from NY to...

Aww, what a great ending to your trip! Congrats!!! We need more teachers like you who are actually excited to be in the classroom. And now that your job search is settled, you can make more permanent plans for the future and trips. When I finally got my first real job out of school, it was...

CONGRATS!!!! Oh, what a little cutie he is! So, so happy for you guys!

On my last trip, I took my ipad just in case, with no real intention to use it. But POFQ was running their free WiFi test during that period, and I was surprised that I ended up using it as much as I did. Usually, I like to pretend that the outside world doesn't exist when I'm at WDW, but it...

Great TR!! Princess Anna's BBB experience is just too cute. I'm so jealous they didn't have that when I was a kid - I would have been alllll about the pink hair extensions and glitter! That's a crazy long trip you guys have to make to get to WDW!!!!! o_O Your kids must be angels to make it...
