Awww, such a cute pic and it reminds me of when we took our youngest to Disneyland when he was 8. We packed a ton of rides and walking into our first day, and planned to wind down in the evening with a fun dinner at the restaurant that the PoTC ride passes through (Blue Bayou)--but Adam fell...

What’s the saying—‘In for a penny, in for a pound’?? At this point, we were already in for a metric ton, so it wasn’t too long before I made call #6 to add an 8th day to our tickets and a 2nd day to our Contemporary stay. And by now the Cast Members weren’t even bothering with small talk...

You gotta hand it to Disney when it comes to wringing the maximum amount of $$ from guests. When I called to make this latest modification, they quoted me the cost to add the 7th day to our park hopper tickets. It was just $63 total to add an extra day onto all three of our tickets. They draw...

So now we were booked for 5 nights at the Yacht Club. I started to feel a bit better about our upcoming trip--knowing that we would be able to walk to Hollywood Studios and Epcot in the mornings to get a jump on the crowds, plus we'd have a very cool pool to go back to and relax if the parks got...

Back when I had expanded my research into looking at the Deluxe Resorts to add the one extra night onto the end of our reservation, I had seen a lot of comments about how the Yacht Club was in a perfect location for guests to walk to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. And once I had begun to...

With the resort reservation now modified, I went back to reserving Park Passes for each of the six days. Scouring the forums again, the overwhelming consensus from recent trip reports was that getting to the parks at Rope Drop was the best guarantee of avoiding the massive lines later in the...

After the new reservation was confirmed, I looked forward to finally sitting back and relaxing about our upcoming trip.

The thought of staying at one of the Animal Kingdom rooms with a safari view sounded very cool, so after getting the thumbs up from DW it was back on the phone line for call #3 to Disney to make the upgrade to a Deluxe Studio-Savanna View (with a Queen Bed!) for our last night. And by this time...

After several weeks of checking the CBR website each day with no change in the room situation, I started to think outside the box: what if we booked our final day at a different resort altogether? And since it would only be for one night, I expanded our options to include the deluxe resorts as a...

Rather than cry over spilt Mickey Bars, Melissa and I discussed it over the course of the next week and we agreed to tack another day onto the end of the trip to account for the extra long lines that we’d be encountering during Easter week. I called American Airlines to make sure we could push...

And the saga continues...

Hi Tuvalu! Your many TR's were a big inspiration for me to try one myself. Hopefully it works out that we find ourselves in the same park on one of the days that week! Welcome, Loco--I think we'll have a great time too. We'll be at Disney World after all!! Glad to have you along, Bullseye...

Welcome! And glad you're enjoying it!! I'm still new to the gif game, but thanks for the compliment! And I enjoyed your recent TR--it looked like you had a fantastic get-away!! Ugh--I'll be posting about all the rescheduling next, but I think everything turned out okay in the end. Welcome...

Admittedly, I’m pretty bad with dates (I’ve been alive 54 years but every time someone mentions Memorial Day or Labor Day I still have to stop and pause to try to remember which one comes at the beginning of summer and which one comes at the end …), but I swear, in my mind, Easter always seemed...

So, I guess you could say that I had a FastPass for a real roller-coaster ride of emotions... My first response was: Which was almost immediately followed by: and then quickly ended on:

Me (sitting in front of the monitor at 1 AM):

Out of curiosity, I decided to Google what day Easter fell on for 2021: er... ... ... Huh.

We wound up choosing the Caribbean Beach Resort, and I then made back-to-back calls to American Airlines and Disney to book a five-night stay with park hopper passes from April 3 to April 8. I felt really good having the big decision about where and when we were staying settled, but I still had...

Disney's current 35% sale was very enticing, but there weren’t many available/affordable flights between Seattle and Orlando to make a December trip work for us. So I confirmed the dates for Adam’s spring break (the week of April 5th), which it turned out fell on the exact same week when we had...
