APRIL 10, WEDNESDAY: THE BIG 3-0 AT MAGIC KINGDOM! (continued) Tigger also wanted his pic with my mom! The whole meal, the waitress had been low-key rushing us, so she bought out my birthday cupcake and birthday card (another reason I’d wanted to eat here!) before we’d seen Pooh and Eeyore...

APRIL 10, WEDNESDAY: THE BIG 3-0 AT MAGIC KINGDOM! It was finally my birthday!! And where else would we spend it other than at Magic Kingdom?! We got up early (for us, at least) because I wanted to see the new opening show. I’d only seen the original show with the WDW RR once, so I wanted to...

I've been told I tend to over-hype things, so I will try desperately not to do that here! I personally ADORE Fantasmic! It's my fav nighttime show, and really my overall favorite, in WDW. But I think at this point, it may have something to do with nostalgia. The music is fantastic, and there are...

APRIL 9, TUESDAY: HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS EVENING On our way out of AK, we stopped in Discoverer Outpost and I bought far too many Spirit Jerseys (potion purple, the bright yellow, and the gray with rose gold sequins :geek:). We noticed this sculpture at the entrance (it was the same idea and...

APRIL 9, TUESDAY: ANIMAL KINGDOM (continued) When I left the Donald M&G, a CM stopped me by name. I had that moment of “How does she know my name!?” before I realized it was on my birthday button :banghead:. But apparently, my mom had pointed me out to her, and asked her to let me know that...

APRIL 9, TUESDAY: ANIMAL KINGDOM (continued) After we were done with the trail, we had just enough time to do something else (but not a ride...you know how it works) before our dinner ADR. So we decided to head into Dinoland to meet some characters! We’d met Scrooge and Launchpad over Christmas...

APRIL 9, TUESDAY: ANIMAL KINGDOM (continued) (Did I mention I really like giraffes?) (This fencing makes it so difficult to see the elephants :( But look--baby!) After our second safari, we decided to hit up Gorilla Falls. I took 90 million pictures of the meerkats, but I’ll spare...

APRIL 9, TUESDAY: ANIMAL KINGDOM (continued) After our river journey, we decided to just roam around the land a bit and soak it in. Though it’s small, it really is so peaceful if you find yourself on the right path! Eventually we wandered into Windtraders, the only store. My dad and I had...

APRIL 9, TUESDAY: ANIMAL KINGDOM (continued) Off to Pandora we went. We were excited because we had barely spent any time in the land over Christmas because it had been mobbed. And my first time in the land, on my 2017 trip with B, my best friend, I’d already torn my ACL by that point and was...

August 30-September 8 (so we'll just miss each other :(). We were originally going for low crowds, and then the SW:GE announcement happened after we were booked, flights and all :banghead:

APRIL 9, TUESDAY: ANIMAL KINGDOM (continued) I promise there are lions in the following photos! They were hard to get pictures of, but actually pretty easy to see, which was different. It was a pretty good trip around Africa. No giraffic jam, though :cry:. That happened to me in 2015...

APRIL 9, TUESDAY: ANIMAL KINGDOM Yay, we’re finally going to a different park (lol)! We were up bright and early this morning because I wanted to rope drop Kilimanjaro Safari. I was pretty proud of my mom this morning, because she is NOT a rope drop person and never has been. My dad and I are...

It was SOOOO good. I was really pleasantly surprised. It didn't taste like a "free" dessert at all. I'm not sure if that't their normal birthday treat, or if it was just Don continuing to be awesome! My mom and I liked Ale & Compass a lot more than we expected to, honestly. What kismet! That's...

APRIL 8, MONDAY: EPCOT, again (continued) We soon got the table ready text, and were seated. On one side of us was a couple (middle-aged-ish) and on the other was a big round table full of a family with like three adults and seven children. Oh boy, OK. Let me start off by saying that our...

APRIL 8, MONDAY: EPCOT, again (continued) We got back to our room, dried off and changed, and then tried to decide what to do. It was still raining pretty hard out, so we didn't want to trek back into Epcot just to get wet again. We decided to let our Via Napoli ADR go, which bummed me out...

APRIL 8, MONDAY: EPCOT, again (continued) The China Pavilion is just so pretty... We decided to hunt for another egg and we found it easily enough. (I'm not going to warn for the scavenger hunts anymore since they're both over...hope that's OK!) (Dramatic zoom in...dun dun dun!)...

APRIL 8, MONDAY: EPCOT, again (continued) We moved on to Norway next, and immediately noticed that Anna and Elsa’s M&G at Royal Sommerhus only had a 20 min posted wait! Flashing back to wait times of several hours when A&E first started meeting, we jumped right in line. Epcot continued to boast...

APRIL 8, MONDAY: EPCOT, again (continued) The rain hadn’t broken the humidity…if anything, it was worse. So we decided to head into the Mexican pavilion and visit one of our fav spots…La Cava del Tequila! I’m sure I’m going to jinx us by saying this, but we’ve always had great luck getting a...

Thank you! They didn't monitor him as they should, and he ended up with an ulcer and a urine infection (and some other minor issues). But because they weren't keeping an eye on things, they thought at first that his kidneys were failing and he got sent back to the hospital! It was so scary...

Everyone is different. I know people who went to WDW as kids and liked it, but now as adults they could take it or leave it (or they even hate it). I think for those of us that grew up with WDW, there's a moment as we get older where we have to decide (consciously or not) whether we will...
