Giant LOL: #notababy

I love a Bee report, and I'm so excited for you to experience travel in Asia! I've been to India several times, and it's jarring but also expansive to go someplace so radically different from home. Can't wait to hear about your adventures!

You can pick up a Food and Wine Festival Passport for free to check off the items you try!

We always just buy it by the half gallon in the shop/food court. It fits in the mini fridge, and I think it costs between $4-$5.

It IS stressful being the group leader. If only all members of the group could follow simple directives and follow the leader! I guess that's probably why I enjoyed my time alone with K; she goes along with everything, and everything is fun and exciting to her. And that transferred to me, too.

I hear your pain. This was C's first trip, and I'm sad that it's so tainted with so much sadness, for me. I keep telling myself that her first REAL trip will be when she knows what's going on and will remember things, and I really do think that's true for me. But the disappointments have been...

Final Thoughts: We left the next morning around 7AM (by the time we got some gas). The ride home was a little longer with more stops, but we all survived it. I tried to process the past four days and come to terms with some hurt feelings. I am still trying to do that, I guess. Lots of my...

Thank the rain on May 19 for this very text-heavy post: After the UP! show, things got a little... messy. We all went to Expedition: Everest, where DH and DD6 rode twice (she loved it!), and I let C wander around. Thank goodness she wandered over to the Anandapur Ice Cream truck so I could get...

We did have a little time to kill, so we explored the Maharaja Jungle Trek first. It was hot, I was dehydrated, and my mental game was about done. It was a chore to hold my tongue and to fake happy at this point. But I tried. Some water helped, some one-on-one time with K helped (we were using a...

We continued on, catching some of the massive silver backs in their mountainside environment as well. I'm with this guy: We had an Expedition: Everest FP+ in the near future, so it was time for a trek to Asia. I did pause for a few pictures along the way.

When we finished, we were just steps from the Safari entrance, so in we went! The wheelchair entrance is straight through the FP+ line and onto specified wheelchair trucks. We had a couple minute's wait when we got to the loading area, but we were soon on our way. Our safari driver was... a...

So I lead the group to the Harambe Fruit Market, where we picked up some watermelon, carrots/celery, and a Mickey pretzel (my first ever!). As a side note, this was the day I was most disappointed to be saddled with the added task of pushing a wheelchair. I never had a free hand (or two) to take...

As we approached the Navi River Journey queue, the wait time was just 20 minutes, and I was happy that we would be able to ride when I'd really thought there was no chance. (Getting the other adults up for EMH was an unwanted lesson in patience everyday...) As we navigated the queue, I was...

Our final park day was Animal Kingdom day! I was very happy to visiting the park during its 20th anniversary year! Also, I was able to snag a Flight of Passage FP+ at 7AM sixty days out, so I was looking forward to seeing Pandora for the first time and riding this much-lauded ride. But first, we...

The Enchanted Tiki Room was as fun as ever -- and afforded me a chance to really rehydrate and cool off. At this point, I was on day two of pushing the wheelchair with MIL in it and wearing the thirty-plus-pound backpack from Hell. And I hit 33 weeks on this day, so I was extra grumpy about all...

At this point, the wait time for Peter Pan was up to 85 minutes, and Winnie the Pooh was at 30. We opted to head into New Fantasyland instead and rode Under the Sea as a walk-on basically (short wait in the wheelchair line). We stopped at Gaston's for a snack break. We pulled out some of the...

More Haunted Mansion queue: It was an uneventful ride, where the wheelchair entrance was the unloading area. The lantern ghost tried to come home with us, but then he realized our house is crazy right now. He stuck with the HM. Time for a stop at the Prettiest Bathrooms in the World...

Finally we approached Cinderella Castle, and she was as photogenic as ever! We were so late that we caught the Welcome Show. Booooooo to not getting on a ride before nine a.m. But let's go ahead and embrace the chance to watch the show in front of the castle (last visit we saw it at the...

So if you lost track, on day one at Epcot, I rode Soarin' three times, and my DD6 rode it four times! That's the inspiration for my trip report's title. Soarin' is our favorite ride at Epcot, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to ride it so many times. Okay -- on to day two. This was...

Elsa was K's only must-meet character, and she was pretty smitten. She was a little chattier than last time we visited Arendelle, but she was definitely shy. After this, K and I talked about what she'd like to do. After our 2016 trip, we talked a lot about how we didn't go around World...
