    Trip Report An attempt to live in the moment

    We found a spot close to the front of the castle and before the fireworks started there was a cute Christmas show. Loved it! Some people may not like this location for the fireworks-being so close to the castle because you have to crane your neck but it is my personal favorite. Maybe it's...

    Christmas party guests were allowed to book a virtual queue for Tron and Mike was lucky enough to score an early one so we walked him over to the ride and then Brian and I went shopping. Our number would not be called until much later. After a little shopping we waited for him outside Casey's...

    We had tickets for the Magic Kingdom Christmas Party. This was not our 1st time attending but I think the last time we went was back in 2014. When we were leaving MK Tuesday after 3pm we noticed that the crowd waiting to get in early to the park for the party that night was HUGE. We asked a...

    Sunday, November 19 - Our last day 😢 We slept in again and then took the bus down to City Walk for brunch. The bus service was excellent all 3 days we stayed at the resort. We all had a little money left on our gift cards from the event so we went to Cinnabon and Starbucks again. (We all got...

    A very nice custodian offered to take our picture for us in front of the tree. It was almost time for the event to start and we were hungry so we got in line to eat at Louie's Italian Restaurant. It was very chaotic and they were not prepared for the huge crowd that showed up but eventually we...

    Since we had gone through Seuss Landing the night before this time we headed towards the Marvel section. Our 1st ride was Hulk and then Spiderman was next. It was still early and the party didn't start until 9pm so we did a little shopping and then continued into Toon Lagoon. Next we...

    Saturday, November 18 We slept in until 10am and then we went shopping at some outlet sites until about 1pm. We ended buying a new luggage bag because apparently we had purchased too many things on our vacation 🤷‍♀️. Brian also bought some new shorts, shirts and socks. (I am sure we must have...

    Thanks, love that picture too 🙂. Yes, we all agreed that we thought it was 100% worth the price. Before we went I watched every YouTube video I could on the Orlando Informer meetups. After we got home Brian's friend started talking about going to the one in February lol. Honestly if we only...

    Once we finally got to ride Hagrid's we took the train over to Universal Studios to visit Diagon Alley. Escape from Gringotts was up next. Such an amazing queue! Our last ride of the night was Revenge of the Mummy and then we slowly made our way out of the park when the party was over at...

    We made it to Hogsmeade and it was busy but it looked like the crowds were starting to thin out. We visited Hogwarts Castle because the wait was only 20 minutes. After the ride the event had officially started so we headed towards 3 Broomsticks for our dinner (food was included in the...

    We actually tried Beverly back in 2017 and once was enough 😂. Here is a picture of Brian's face after taking a sip: Makes me laugh every time. The room was wonderful and the view was amazing. I would definitely stay there again.

    The event didn't officially start until 8 (after park close) but we were allowed to enter the parks at 5pm. Each guest was assigned a park that they were allowed to enter early-ours was Islands of Adventure. After entering you could park hop but had to either use the Hogwarts Express or go...

    The view from our huge window at Cabana Bay ] Theme park view! We stared in awe for a bit and then it was time to head to City Walk to pick up our tickets. We opted to take the free bus service there and we didn't have to wait long for a ride. We didn't take any pictures of the process but...

    We had never stayed at a Universal hotel before but we have been to the Universal parks a couple of times. We got a good deal on a room at the Cabana Bay because we were attending an after hours event Friday and Saturday night. It was an event I had heard about through watching YouTube videos...

    We did a little shopping after GOTG and we came across the place that has the free pop. I had completely forgotten about Club Cool. I tried every flavour except Beverly and I think Country Club was my favorite. Unfortunately we didn't finish World Showcase. We opted to do some inside...

    On Wednesday we had explored Mexico and Norway so we started in China. I was hungry so we stopped to eat at the Lotus Blossom Cafe. Brian enjoyed his meal of orange chicken but I did not like my vegetable/noodle dish. We continued on to Germany where I picked up dessert for myself and it...

    We were soaked so we went back to Pop to change and we made it to Epcot in time for our ILL. Song:"Disco Inferno" Just for fun we checked to see if the virtual queue for 1pm was still available and it was so of course we joined. Crowd level was definitely low because we only checked after 3pm...
