Final thoughts There is nothing quite like Disney during the holidays. The weather was a bit hotter than expected, but the crowds were for the most part ok. Our feelings on AoA were mixed. The Skyliner was awesome (even with getting stuck on it once), we loved the food, and our day just...

@riverside Ive commented before how J reminds me of C. Now C is following his lead! The flight itself was uneventful, and our ride met us outside the gate at Newark. We finally got home around 11, and all went right to bed. The next morning, I tried to replicate my morning coffee routine...

After about 20 minutes, and a lot of stress wondering if we would miss our bus, it was time to meet the Step Sisters. It started off fairly normal - they liked the ornaments we wanted them to sign that looked like them (something we did 4 years ago but never get the step sisters that time)...

While I was watching L play, I heard a very familiar sound. A sound I’ve missed for awhile. The train! After K came back, I asked the CMs blocking the stairs to the station if they happened to be running today, but the answer was unfortunately a no and they didn’t know when it would open. I...

A few more parade pictures After this, it was time for us to head to Splash for the last time. I get it, and I am hopeful for the new ride (as long as they keep animatronics and good music). But I have a lot of good memories on the ride, so it was a bit sad to go through it one last time...

This day we were very much just doing whatever anyone wanted, so as we exited the Princesses and the kids saw the Carousel, of course we had to jump on. Look at those strollers - you could tell the holiday crowds were coming! Side story - when I went as a kid, our tradition was to always...

Holy crap, that’s awesome. Thank you!

Thanks! Those pictures really brought me back!

The wait for Merida was only 20 minutes, but I still found time to go over to Cheshire Cat and grab e and K some iced coffees. I was hoping for a Shakin Jamaican, but they said their machine was down. :( So instead I just looked what was in it and tried to make my own with an iced hazelnut...

It really is! Sometimes I wonder if we push them too hard, and if we should have some more early nights. I think on longer trips we'll have to start. They seem to max out at 4 late nights. We love it! It's right in our entryway and are planning on getting some more in the future too

December 10 - Our Last Day :( My note from this day is that it "started rough". I believe that meant we were all tired and trying to pack and get out the door. Somehow the last minute items seemed harder to pack when in Disney than when at home. We had hoped to make EMH at 8:30, but only...

I’ve been pacing myself because I’ve enjoyed your report so much, but just finished! Loved “getting to know” your family, and following along.

I feel like I’ve been dragging this out! Once I’m done with this, I also have an adults trip from February waiting for me lol

That’s what I expected, thank you!

I figured I would check here because I think the CM was incorrect - can you use expired/used tickets towards an AP? I thought you couldn’t, but a CM told me earlier today that we could apply tickets from this past February to an AP purchase.

Ah finally that's the right people! But you can't really see Tinkerbell... Oh well! We then got in line for some Fish and Chips, and K and I split a beer. We found a spot on the curb right before Harmonious started, and just sat and ate, while we enjoyed what we could see. We debated on...

We were going to grab dinner at Sunshine Seasons, but even though the app said they should be open, they were some reason closed. A little annoying, since the booths also close early at night. Although Connections seems good, we didn't want to traverse the maze of walls. So we figured we would...

We also got a black and white cookie. Growing up in NY, these were always my favorite, and they mostly nailed it in the booth. The problem was that the frosting was too soft, where real black and white cookies should have nice and hard frosting. The taste was good though! Or so I thought. The...

After a couple hours, around 6:30 we headed back to Epcot. It cooled down considerably and was shaping up to be a lovely night. We had a DAS for Ratatouille from earlier. Which was good because the wait was !!! It’s a good ride, but I would not wait more than 2 hours for it! Probably...

We took a few minutes to sit in the a/c and contemplate what to do next. Do we trek across the park to the Skyliner, or because Frozen was back up, head there? We decided on the later, figuring the cooler air could be good for everyone. It had just come back up, so the wait was very short...
