Trip Report 2 Weeks, 3 Resorts, 12 People - A (Hopefully) Live Trip Report!

Hello everyone! You may remember me from my spontaneous spring break trip back in March. Well, I'm back again! And this time for much longer... two weeks!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm PUSH! I'm a teacher from Wisconsin. I just completed my 8th year teaching first grade, and I'm ready for a vacation. This school year was by far the toughest of my career, for many different reasons, so I'm ready to be back in the Disney bubble. I've been so busy with the end of the school year, that I didn't even think about starting a TR until today... and we fly out tomorrow morning!

As I type this, I still am unsure what this TR will look like. That really makes you want to keep reading, doesn't it?? 😂 I'm planning on posting live from my trip... I just don't know how much. If I post a lot and go pretty in-depth, I won't post a ton when I get back. However, if I don't post much while I'm down there, I'll do more when I get back. Regardless, I'll post in some capacity. We'll just go with the flow (which is NOT how I treat a Disney trip... I'm such a planner).

Here's a few details to start off... The first week is just my dad and me. We fly out of Madison tomorrow morning, and we should land at MCO early to mid afternoon. The second week, we'll be joined by a whole slew of people, who you can see listed below. The past few years, my dad and I have gone down ahead. We're the biggest Disney nerds, and we like the extended trips, whereas others get tired of it after about a week.

We are staying at 3 resorts, with 10 park days, 1 water park day, and 1 After Hours event. All the other details will come as we go. :)

📅 When: June 7-June 21st
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Who: Me, my parents, my brother, my SIL, my aunt & uncle, my cousin & her husband & their kid (1.5 years old), and my other cousin & her boyfriend
🌏 Where: 2 nights at Pop Century, 5 nights at Coronado Springs in the Gran Destino Tower, 7 nights at Riverside
❓ Why: Why not? 🤷‍♂️

Sit back, keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the thread, and enjoy whatever this trip report becomes!

Well, the parks part of my trip has come to an end. We did early entry for Magic Kingdom this morning. We started by rope dropping Pooh. They let us in at 8:20, and we were off by 8:28, before early entry even officially began.

We were wanting to do Tiana next, but since it doesn't open until 9:00, we rode Small World. Once we got off, it was time to head to Tiana.

Next, we looked through the Christmas shop, then headed over to Tomorrowland. Stitch was just coming out and chose me as his victim to interact with.

Then we watched Carousel of Progress and rode the Peoplemover. We did a mobile order for Casey's. I love a Casey's hot dog. I also love the fries with the cheese sauce. I wish they still had that sauce at Cosmic Rays and Pecos Bill.

After Casey's, we rode the Railroad a full loop, did some shopping on Main Street, and came back to the resort.

While on the railroad, I managed to get another Beaches and Cream reservation for this afternoon. I'm not sure if we're just doing ice cream or will have another meal again.

We went to Beaches and Cream again. I got the bacon and cheese tots. No onion, with the ranch on the side. They were good, but maybe a little bit too much cheese sauce. I know, that sounds absolutely ridiculous. I'd give them 4/5. I once again got the cookies and cream shake. Still delicious. 5/5.

We stopped at Fulton's General Store at our resort on the way back. I got a Riverside mug.

When we got back to the room, we began packing. We fly out tomorrow at 7:30am. It's always sad to leave. When you're down here for two weeks, it kind of becomes a routine of living your best life. But it will be nice to be back in my own home in my own bed.

We'll probably walk back down to the main building again in a bit, for one last time.

I'm home! Got home in the early afternoon yesterday. Once I got home, I found out my internet has been out for days, and as I was trying to do an online chat to figure that out, as giant wasp flew by. They are sending someone on Tuesday to fix the internet... once that gets figured out, I'll post some thoughts and recaps from the trip.

But you really don't think about everything that relies on the internet until you don't have it.

I am glad you made it home safe! It wouldn't be a vacation if something didn't go wrong upon your return home. I look forward to your closing thoughts.

Welcome home, safe and sound!! Bummer about your internet, but that will be fixed on Tuesday. You probably need a few days to unwind, as it is, so maybe no internet is a blessing in disguise! ;)
