Thanks for your patience in reading up to now. I'm getting to the point, I promise. Suffice it to say I finally landed on Disney World as the choice for our destination.

DL in Anaheim was out with California still in heavy lock down, so I began looking at Disney Cruises. I had been fortunate in the early 2000’s to win a Disney Cruise at work and it was amazing. But even though (at that time) they were showing available dates to book a cruise in December 2020...

So in the fall of 2020 after Adam got the all-clear from his doctor for his broken foot and Melissa began seeing some improvement with her injuries from the car accident, I started to think a family vacation might be in order to end the year on a positive note. Hawaii has always been on our...

2020 had been a quite a year for our family: In January Adam was still recovering from a really bad flu that required multiple trips to the Urgent Care and an extended time out of school. And then later in January Melissa was in a car accident and has needed ongoing treatment up to the...

The genesis for this trip began last October, and our reservations took a very circuitous journey along the way before the final confirmation was made. So if you’re interested, pull up a chair, sit back and listen for a spell while I tell you the tale of how a five-night moderate booking morphed...

Just to get some of the preliminaries out of the way—when I created my profile for these forums I had to choose a member name so I went with tommcp516: Which is a mashup of my nickname from college and my birthday, and in my head it was supposed to sound like “Tom Mick P___Five Sixteen”...but...

Now on to proper introductions. Our family lives in the suburbs of Seattle, and on this trip it will be myself (Tom): DW (Melissa): and our youngest son, Adam (13): Here’s Adam & I on the final drop at Splash Mountain at Disneyland in 2016. I think one (inner) child was definitely...

AKA The NeverEnding 'Reservation' Hi! My name’s Tom. Welcome to my first-ever (Pre) Trip Report… To start off, I’d like to thank a few forum members: @Tuvalu , @Darstarr, @fractal , @DisneyGigi , @MickeyCB , @riverside and everyone else who has taken the time to post a trip report (or 2…or...

Remind Stinker to save some room for Mickey Bars later in the day..🙂 Although technically, it'd be 100% within your god-given rights as his grandparent to let him have ice cream for breakfast!🍦👍

Looks like another fantastic day with Stinker. And love that night cap photo on the YC beach--I hope to be recreating that shot with DW in about 80 days!

Looking forward to hearing about the Yacht Club--we'll be staying there in April!

Woo hoo--lucky #13!! Excited to finally join in on one of these TR's on page 1! Usually I'm 25 to 30 pages behind...lol Hoping for an awesome trip for you and Stinker!!

Great report so far, and nice photos! Plus, I just bought that same shirt you're wearing on Shop Disney, so I'm glad to see it lives up to the pics online!

After seeing a comment on another board about people reporting that their April CR reservations were being moved to GF, I called WDW this morning to see if my reservation on 4/8-4/10 would be affected. They confirmed that rooms in the Tower are being refurbished but that they're beginning with...

Where have you seen this being reported? We have a room booked at CR for the 2nd weekend in April but haven't received any emails from Disney yet?

7 to 8 inches of snow--Yikes! I hope the weather improves and it's smooth sailing (driving) out of the mountains to warmer points south :cool: Sounds like you and Stinker have a magical trip ahead of you!

Hi Tuvalu! Was that for a 9 am 'official' opening, or 8 am? How were the lines once you got inside the park at that hour? (I'm wagering that you made a beeline for BTMRR...lol)

I recently read a comment on another WDW site that mentioned people reporting being held up at the security checkpoint on the walkway from CR to MK for over 15 minutes prior to opening and watching as the Disney buses carrying guests from other resorts drove by and dropped them off ahead of...

Awesome trip report--and thanks for all of the details about the Universal part of your trip. We're heading to WDW in April, but next year we have our sights set going to Uni, with the Wizarding World as the main destination. Your great photos definitely helped seal the deal!

Very late to join the TR but it's been great so far--and how cool that you were able to have two separate meet-ups with people from these forums!!
