IoA was nearing its close so we made our way through Jurassic Park. As we passed Kong, the wait time said it was 40 minutes and we figured we should get the ride out of the way now while the wait times weren't crazy. We waited less than 20 minutes though and were some of the last few guests in...

Pretty sunset ride pics: We explored a little more and then moved on through the Lost Continent. Val tripped while I was taking this picture and I'm choosing to include this one instead of normal-looking Val because it adds a little something extra to the trip report (right, @ValVal??)...

Hey everyone! It’s been a couple months since @ValVal and I got back from our Disney trip and I have yet to post anything about it. I was very excited to write a TR but things got a little crazy at the end of the year and I live for procrastination. Val keeps reminding me so finally I’m here…...

Following your insta now! Our trip starts on the 18th. We went to Hoop Dee Doo together 2 years ago and had a blast but I don't know if she wants to do that again or try new things. I'm definitely going to bring it up though. There's sooo much to do-- I feel like we're already running out of...

Just read your whole TR in the past couple days-- I was hooked!! Awesome pictures (what's your instagram?)! Your family is adorable, especially in the scavenger hunt. My family could never get as much done as you guys did and there would be a lot of arguing too. haha. Very excited to read your...

All caught up! Great pictures! I was in WDW at the end of your trip (just for a weekend) and it looks like our October trips will overlap this year as well. My friend is coming to visit from California October 18-26. I'm excited to write another trip report and to read a new one from you!

Here's the lightning situation that was happening shortly before Wishes-- no rain yet... We headed to the Hub to see the beautiful view of the partners statue all boxed off. What a lovely sight it is with a big old cube in front of the castle! The lightning stopped in time for Wishes to...

We went on Buzz Lightyear and then finally ventured out of Tomorrowland. It was absolutely necessary for Katie to experience my new fave, Country Bear Jamboree, so we headed in that direction. She can't remember ever seeing the show in the Disney trips of our childhood and was a little...

Such a good idea to get senior pictures taken in World Showcase! Great TR!

And moving right along, let's go back to May and the 24 Hour day. As we were leaving the theater at Downtown Disney to get back on the buses, we were each given 5 Tomorrowland pins so we could be "recruiters" like in the movie-- we were told to give our extra pins away back at the park. By...

Okay, one more Disneyland post before I go back to the actual trip report. @ValVal and I had a great two days. As I mentioned before, the tiny Sleeping Beauty castle is looking so sparkly and beautiful... We had some bad luck with a couple of rides and shows closing when we were in line...

Update: Sorry I've been neglecting this TR. Since I can never finish one of these without taking a trip to Disney beforehand, I bring you updates from DISNEYLAND. I've been out in California and had to make a trip down to see @ValVal and all the 60th anniversary festivities. We had a busy...

At 7:15, we made our way over to Frontierland, following this CM... Super relevant Snapchat Frontierland filter. We got to go out the fancy backstage exit, which was very cool. The buses were waiting for us out there to take us to Downtown Disney. So then the 400ish of us were...

We went in for the super exclusive breakfast party in Cosmic Ray's, where they had some fruits, yogurt, bagels, juice, coffee, cinnamon rolls with the Tomorrowland logo... We listened to Sonny Eclipse and the announcements from the Parks Blog team and then decided to take another spin on...

All caught up with your awesome TR! Your pictures are soo good. I was there with my sister the same time as your trip!

Friday, May 22 24 HOUR DAY My sister and I had plans of park hopping during the 24 hour day but ended up having to change our plans. Why? I won the Disney Parks Blog-hosted Breakfast, ‘Tomorrowland’ & 24-Hours at Walt Disney World Resort Event. The prize came with 2 free park tickets for the...

I think we went on Men In Black once more before leaving the park at close. Walked back to the car and even though we had yet to check into the hotel, we wanted to get some food first. We started off the Katie-can-legally-drink-now thing by going to the Chevy's outside Downtown Disney and...

And here's a bunch of Diagon Alley at dusk. I had only ever seen it in the daytime before but it's so different (better) when it gets dark. Of course, we have appearances by my good friend, the dragon!

We ventured elsewhere through Islands of Adventure and took a ride on the Hulk (another ride with annoying metal detectors). Then I wanted to ride the Ripsaw Falls water ride since we'd never done it before and the wait was really short. Walking through the queue took forever though. When...

We got out at Hogsmeade Station and I noticed something I had just walked by in October. Thestral!! Look-- there it is (or isn't). Mainly exciting because I share a special bond with the creatures. My college Quidditch team was the Thrashing Thestrals. We explored Hogsmeade a little and had...
