    I like tuddles… Madelyn using her map reading skills to use. Free roaming birds are the coolest.

    10day Magical Trip at Port Orleans Riverside Royal Room & Discovery Cove (3/28-4/6)

    Welcome! We’re more than halfway through our vacation.. makes me sad :( So many different places to stay at WDW but I could be completely happy with making PORS our “home” given the perfect balance of property decor, price, location, and surprisingly good food court. Haha.. I wanted to...

    What a great way to celebrate your husband's graduation! I love your pictures and I'm bummed we didn't make it to SeaWorld on our recent WDW trip during Easter and your pictures aren't helping me to feel any better. :) I'm sad to hear about your teaching job situation and I totally...

    The fresh made to order Beignets rank right up there along with the Dole Whips!! However, what a clean up nightmare! There was literally powdered sugar everywhere at the dining hall. There was powdered sugar on the tables, on the floor, & on the chairs. I can’t imagine what it would be like...

    More strange wispy-like moss that hangs from the tree branches which is unique to Alligator Bayou. After an amazing hour long carriage ride, we tipped our driver regardless of what the sign had said and made our way over to POFQ’s Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory Food Court (wow...

    10day Magical Trip at Port Orleans Riverside Royal Room & Discovery Cove (3/28-4/6)

    Madelyn perfecting her princess parade wave at the folks in French Quarter. The Doubloon Lagoon swimming area at FQ was really well themed with a waterslide that had you come out of the Sea Serpant’s mouth along its “tongue” right into the pool. I wish I would have taken...

    10day Magical Trip at Port Orleans Riverside Royal Room & Discovery Cove (3/28-4/6)

    We headed back to our room with full tummies as DW decided to take a quick nap while Madelyn and I enjoyed a little pool time. After a little R&R, we decided to check out the Port Orleans property and what better ways to sight see the PORS and POFQ properties than a horse drawn...

    10day Magical Trip at Port Orleans Riverside Royal Room & Discovery Cove (3/28-4/6)

    By now, the Spring Break crowds were out in full force, perfect time for us to head back to PORS for some lunch, rest and relaxation. Today was definitely the most crowded day at Magic Kingdom. Once we arrived back at PORS, we decided to head to the Riverside Mill Food Court for lunch...

    It was starting to get really warm and the FP lines for Splash Mountain were a total zoo! Keeping the “Left Rule” in mind, I headed to the left side of the FP queue lines and once I made it to the far left FP dispenser machine, there were only 3 people in front of me in the FP dispenser...

    The line for Stitch’s Great Escape! wasn’t long at all so we quickly got in line. Even with it being toned down considerably (when it was Alien Encounter), I can see how this attraction can be pretty intense for the little ones. Madelyn got a little uneasy at certain spots but she handled this...

    After Tinker Bell’s Magical Nook, we headed over to Tomorrowland to do the attractions we missed on Day 2 of our trip. The PeopleMover was a walk on so we got on and snapped some photos from the ride. The ever popular line for the Astro Orbiter

    Friendship parade! Breakfast came out to $87 dollars and while we got more than our fill of character interaction, the food quality of the buffet was nothing to rave about. The quality was the typical buffet quality food and the selections were pretty standard with bacon, scrambled...

    I love it when Photopass CMs are very interactive. I didn’t get his name but he was great in capturing the magical moment of Disney. Waiting for our ADR at The Crystal Palace. Once we got in, it was FRIENDSHIP DAY CELEBRASHUN !! The restaurant was EMPTY. Which mean...

    It looks like you’re going during Easter in 2013? Our trip this year during Easter week was amazing! Perfect weather and the crowds weren’t as bad as I thought. I think we got spoiled as I’m not sure if we could ever do another summer WDW trip over a Spring trip… The dolphin swim at...
