I finally got a reservation for beaches and cream for our October 2022 trip. And just before that great day, the morning after we did our first MNSSHP since 2013, I woke up to my back having gone out and a sick wife (eventually diagnosed as covid). I’m not saying God doesn’t want me to have the...

I’ve been kicking around the idea of the Edison. A confession, I’ve visited Disney over a dozen times and I’ve never visited the Boardwalk. Since I now live here, I’ll remedy that

Steakhouse 71 is an absolute contender. Not a big fan of city works. I tried the polite pig yesterday for lunch. Prisoner of the moment… but by far the best counter service on property.

I’ve thought about Sanaa. We’ve done ‘ohana, but forgot to put on the list. Did it for the first time during our 2022 trip. Without the meal plan, this broke me financially. However, it is now my number 1 place to eat, ahead of Via Napoli and boathouse. But I’m waiting for my discount before I...

All, I’m moving to Florida for a job with Disney. Driving out tomorrow and will be living in an extended stay for a month. My birthday is next week. Throw some suggestions at me. It will need to be resort or Disney springs. Prefer table service. Group- Birthday boy Wife Son-19 Daughter- 16...

My pics at ‘Ohana are a challenge as they are live shots that I can’t get to act right.

Day 3: October 17- AK This is a short park day for us- Flight of Passage Navi Flight of Passage w/LL Festival of the Lion King And that’s it for me. I fully intended to do Everest. I don’t do thrill rides. However, I try to do one thing, out of my comfort zone, each trip. In the past, that’s...

For me, that was the hardest part. Not coming to realization that I’m being priced out. That no matter how much more I make, it was being outstripped by the increases. It’s being the Disney person in my orbit. It feels like I’m admitting defeat.

Also, as a … we rode Jungle Cruise in the evening, which was a first for us. Skipper Nick was good-to-great, but dear God… My 15 year old and 10 year old lost their minds for this guy. I caught my youngest taking a picture. I heard her say, looking at the picture she took, “I’ll save that for...

Problem is the rationalizing that I’ve had to do. My addiction made it so I could find a way to justify the expense. Not anymore. I still love it. That approach up Main Street for the first time still gets to me. But for the money I spent on this trip… next year I’m getting my college freshman a...

Perfectly put. For years, I’ve grown tired of the sky is falling crowd. After this trip, you can put me in the chicken little group.
