Yay! I'm in! We just stayed at the Beach Club Villas for my 30th birthday in April for the first time and we loved it! I hope you did, too! (Also, I got the same DVC MB for my dad and I's upcoming trip :)) Happy Belated Birthday to your mom!

We debated back and forth between the two, as well. What clinched Cruella's for us was the fact that you can come and go for three hours. We liked that freedom. But I agree...the MK dessert parties are soooo worth it! We're doing the HEA After Fireworks party later in the week! Thanks! And I'll...

Yay!! :D

I still can’t believe that this trip is literally right around the corner. Usually time crawls to a stop before any Disney trip for me, but this one just snuck up on me! I also LOVE to surprise my dad (since he is a hard guy to surprise), so I have a bunch of extra stuff planned that he doesn’t...

Awesome! Hopefully it will be a tiny bit cooler and less crowded/crazy! They definitely did. Since when is late Fall August 29?! Oh well. Enjoy your trip!! Have fun!! And thanks! :D

Yay! We debated back and forth how to approach GE. Originally we were gonna avoid it, but then we decided, hey, we're going to be there, so why not try? It's going to be...interesting...to say the least. :hilarious: It's going to be interesting, that's for sure! I get along great with my dad...

APRIL 11, THURSDAY: CAPE MAY CAFÉ AND STORMALONG BAY AND EPCOT (OH MY) (continued) After Donald left, I got my next plate of food (and I started eating before I remembered to take a picture :hilarious:. Then I got another birthday muffin and a card! You can’t see them, but Goofy and...

APRIL 11, THURSDAY: CAPE MAY CAFÉ AND STORMALONG BAY AND EPCOT (OH MY) For the first time in forever (or at least in a few days), we slept in. Our ADR wasn’t until 10:20, and it was, shall we say, close to home. So we literally slept until like 9:50 :hilarious: and then we were running around...

Thank you! It really was. Every trip after this one is going to have a lot to live up to! And Fantasmic! is the best!!

Thank you so much! What a lovely thing to say 💛 It made me reconsider the picture, so thank you! It really was the most amazing birthday ever! I'm so grateful to my mom (and dad!) for making it happen! Thank you so much! How lovely of you! 💛 Some of them weren't so great :hilarious:, but I'm...

I can't believe I'm writing my pre-trip report before finishing up my April birthday report, but we leave in exactly 14 days, so time is of the essence! WHO: My dad (Matt) and me (Carrie) — we're leaving my mom home for our very first father/daughter trip! WHEN: August 30-September 8 WHERE...

APRIL 10, WEDNESDAY: THE BIG 3-0 AT MAGIC KINGDOM! (continued) After watching the show, we did some shopping in the adjoining store (I mostly bought a bunch of pins, haha). I always hope for some actual Philharmagic merch, but alas, it’s never to be, it seems. We still had over an hour before...

APRIL 10, WEDNESDAY: THE BIG 3-0 AT MAGIC KINGDOM! (continued) Bellies pleasantly full (but not stuffed!), we headed over to check in for the HEA dessert party. As I said previously, HEA is fast approaching Fantasmic! as my favorite nighttime show at WDW. When I saw it for the first time over...

Thank you so much!! It's so GOOOOOOOOOOD. I love popcorn in general, but Disney popcorn is genuinely addictive. And I'm fine with that! ;)

APRIL 10, WEDNESDAY: THE BIG 3-0 AT MAGIC KINGDOM! (continued) The app had the Storybook Circus M&Gs at only 15 and 20 min waits respectively, and we’d never done them before, so we headed in that direction (can you tell I’m a thirty-year-old who likes M&Gs? I’m not ashamed!). But when we got...

APRIL 10, WEDNESDAY: THE BIG 3-0 AT MAGIC KINGDOM! (continued) After a great parade, we made our way to the FP I’d made while we were waiting: Haunted Mansion (I’d hoped for this exact scenario when booking FPs for this day, and I couldn’t believe my birthday luck was holding out!). Got a pic...

Agreed! :hilarious:

APRIL 10, WEDNESDAY: THE BIG 3-0 AT MAGIC KINGDOM! (continued) After we were done clapping our hands and stomping our feet and trying to keep right with them, it was time for our Mickey and Minnie FP. I was really excited about this because we were all in our birthday outfits :inlove:. We...

APRIL 10, WEDNESDAY: THE BIG 3-0 AT MAGIC KINGDOM! (continued) After Mouska Dance It, it was time for our first FP: Pirates. Have a sub par, unnecessary ride photo: When we left PotC, we noticed a line forming by where the Captain Jack show used to be. We asked the CM what it was for, and we...

It was really the absolute best way to start my birthday off! :D Exactly! If Bella's parents had been apologetic, or at least clearly trying to rein her in, it would have been one thing. But they let her run wild and let her essentially bully them, it felt like. It was quite distracting, seeing...
