I know, I know, that's the busiest time of year to go, but hear me out! Christmas sucks for us right about now! And we decided that instead of staying home and wallowing in our sorrow, we would go somewhere and try to keep ourselves busy. Christmas 2022 obviously sucked, but we were so numb at that point that it's all a blur. Then 2023 was horrific and felt like the first Christmas without Lily. Needless to say, I didn't feel like decorating nor celebrating, so we didn't do a whole lot that year. Last year, I still couldn't bring myself to decorate, but we tried to attend a few celebrations and ease back into things. My anniversary trip with Brian last year helped get me closer to remembering that I used to love Christmas and all the decorations, but I'm still not sure I would be able to decorate the house this year either, so now I won't have to worry about it too much! The boys don't necessarily want to go anywhere, but they grudgingly agreed to go with us when I promised we would make it as laid back and stress free as possible, which I know means we will miss seeing and doing a lot of things! As you can surmise from my picture, we are staying at Caribbean Beach again. I booked two (hopefully connecting) standard view 5th sleeper rooms. I am going to request to be in Trinidad again this year.

Thanks so much for the fun trip report! I too find myself dealing with the massive amounts of snow since I'm back east for work for a week. Boy, oh boy, am I missing the beach right now

You have a great eye for detail! Thank you for all the wonderful photos and for sharing your trip w/us. Your sons may be less interested in Disney now but I tell my kids wait until they have significant others and eventually grandchildren, then they’ll want to come back! In the meantime we are adapting to new ways to tour Disney.
Thank you and you're welcome! I am definitely holding out hope that there may be grandkids that will need to visit WDW at least once!
