    Trip Report A trip of Firsts

    Our timing couldn't have been more perfect when we left. Not only did DD pass out, but the rain started the moment the bus pulled away from the curb. This afternoon was our most calm, as we just hung out in our room waiting out the rain, which didn't end till much later. We ended up having to...

    Trip Report A trip of Firsts

    On this day, I had done a great job of staggering our FPs so that DH had some, while I had some with DD. The plan was for DH to rider swap the bigger ones so I could enjoy them with DD. Our next FP was for Winnie the Pooh, probably my DD's next favorite. She's always asking to go on it because...

    So along with glasses of wine, DH brought back some desserts from club lounge, which were amazing! From left: oreo cheesecake, smores cupcake, turtle rice krispie treat. My favorites were the first two. Sunset from balcony And finally (a horrible picture that does no justice)... HEA from the...

    Day 3 continued After enjoying the pool for a bit, we headed over to Cape May for dinner. I was nervous about the choice because I'm really the only one in the family who enjoys seafood. In fact, DD commented on how it smelled, but all that changed when we sat next to the sand castle...

    Captains Grille is actually being refurbed right now and is in Ariel's over at BC. This is right by the elevators- to the right of the lobby.

    This was the YC. It's their new QS. It's part of their refurb. You can now refill in there.

    Trip Report A trip of Firsts

    I quickly learned the DD would much rather hang out at Stormalong Bay than any of the parks. Everyday we'd ride rides, but she'd ask to come back to the pool. And we did. You cannot beat this pool!

    Trip Report A trip of Firsts

    Sorry, my computer was going really slow during the last post. Back to Hollywood. We took the boat over, which was really crowded going, but we all managed, several double strollers deep. I almost forgot to mention, the other perk to Family of the Day was 3 extra FPs for EVERYONE in our party...

    Day 3 and some notes on YC I first want to add how impressed I was with the thoughtfulness of YC. The outlets in the bathroom had tiny nightlights that came on in the dark. I traveled with a nightlight, but this made life a lot easier. We also had enough room in the first section of the bathroom...

    Thanks for the suggestions! Biergarten and Via Napoli are definitely on our list for next time. I'll do a little research on the others.

    Trip Report A trip of Firsts

    You'll have to share your report on AKL when you go. When we go back, my in laws are coming and now really want to try club. The Canto Loopy was sooo good. Maybe one of my faves all trip. We have not done Biergarten. I'm tempted to get the park hopper this time so we can do dinner in Epcot...

    I've got to take the kids to the pool for a bit, so Day 2 will hopefully come later this evening. Thanks to all who are following along! Just recapping it has me ready to go back *sigh*

    Day 2 part 3 Navigating the pool with the double stroller proved a bit tough. I had to run into bell services to go through our bags because I'd made the rookie mistake of not packing our suits separately. I forgot a shirt for DH to change into afterward, and flip flops for us to wear, but we...

    Neither did I! Imagine my surprise! Day 1 (Epcot) Part 2 After Nemo, we headed off to the World Showcase since it was open and we had a lunch reservation at Akershus at 12:20. A side note, my DD is terrified of the "big" characters, like Mickey, Minnie, etc, the characters in full costume. She...

    Checking into Yacht Club (left Orange Lake at 7:40 am) I fully expected to just pull up, drop our bags, and then head off to the park. It's a good thing we left Orange Lake as early as we did, because it actually took a good 15 minutes or more to get checked in. Since we were staying club level...

    Trip Report A trip of Firsts

    This is a first for me- making a trip report! I have enjoyed reading so many others that I figured I'd give it a shot. This was also a trip of a few other firsts for us: My son's (14 months) first trip to Disney Our first stay at a deluxe My daughter's (4 years old) first stay on site Our first...

    The BIG taboo.... Breastfeeding (and ISO other infant tips)

    I just came back (June trip) and I wore my 14 month old in a mesh Tula with no issues. It was really overcast and the weather wasn't as brutal as usual. I've read about those cooling towels you can put between you and baby to keep you both from overheating. Another suggestion is muslin blankets...

    What Ride/Event/Show do you wish you SKIPPED with your children?

    This is going to sound awful. Don't crucify me. Happily Ever After. I was so excited to see it. I had shown my daughter a preview of it. She was excited. She was terrified of the fireworks. We ended up abandoning our spot and hopped on Barnstormer so I could still watch the fireworks, and she...

    Parks and Transportation with double stroller

    Sorry, wasn't aware that wasn't following the rules. I had posted in several places and people had told me that it was okay to park there. We didn't spend the entire day. Our reservation was for breakfast. Not sure if this is new, but we were directed to a guest parking lot. We actually stayed...

    MK Rope Drop - Strategy

    We just got back. The show ended as the lands opened. The lines were well formed at those areas. Shops are open during this time. This was disney's way of giving people more time to shop and "leisurely" stroll Main Street before making a mad dash to the rides.
