    Trip Report Completed - Shaky the Elevator, and other Disney World Tales

    Once both kids had a chance to use the potty, I took Luke towards TSMM, and Sara took Makayla over towards Fantasmic. Luke and I had just arrived in line when I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I checked and it was Sara calling me. The noise inside the queue was very loud, but I made out...

    Our restaurant that evening was going to be Catalina Eddy's. They serve the individual pizzas Sara and I have come to know so well, starting from our time at Pizza Planet restaurant. We had thought this would be a fairly quick, enjoyable meal. Sara and Makayla were already in a very long line...

    Right around the time we had finished meeting Doc and joining up with Sara and Luke, everyone was beginning to stake their claim to spots to watch Jingle Bell Jingle Bam in front of the theater. We quickly walked over and grabbed a space very near to where we had been last year. Both the...

    We exited the Frozen theater with Luke still a little disappointed. He perked up though when we found a small video game center near the exit. I don't think he realized it, but he was playing with a Star Wars character :eek: in a Disney Infinity game. I believe it was Kylo Ren, but my...

    When the show had ended, we decided to hurry to make it to Disney Jr Live on Stage. We had about 10 minutes to get there. What was funny is that there were several families with small children around us all going to the same place. Once we arrived, Sara took photos of some Disney Jr...

    Before this day, Sara and I had never made time for B&B at HS. Since we were staying in HS for the entire day, without returning to our room to take a nap, we decided to put this show on our must do list. The seats were filling up quickly, but we were in plenty of time to get some. It was...

    Back at Hollywood Studios, the sun was out and the Christmas decorations were up. I've said it before, but I just love this look. Christmas decorations or no, it's just so well themed. The giant palm trees are such a crucial piece to the whole design. My first MGM/HS experience came with...

    I'm chalking this up to it being the end of the breakfast time and she had another engagement to get to. Perhaps I'm being naive, but I'm okay with that. We ate at Akershus on our last day and that Ariel was more sociable. I guess the idea of double dipping fastpass and child swap makes...

    Shortly after Ariel had left us, a character helper cm made his way over to the table to make sure we had seen all the characters, and then shortly after we saw them disappear in the the kitchen. Their breakfast time had come to an end. Shortly after, the true star of our breakfast appeared...

    Flynn was easily the most talkative of the characters we met at this breakfast. He seemed to spend a good bit of time at each table. As he was leaving, we asked if we could see what was in his satchel. He told us we had to be quiet and not bring a lot of attention, because he had the most...

    As we pulled away, I came to the realization that we were likely not going to make our 10:40 reservation. It had take a lot of time to get everyone on the boat and situated, and I knew that the Boardwalk would be the last of the 3 resort stops. In this instance, it felt as if the boat was...

    Friday, December 15th would be our last full day in WDW. It started off fairly normal (for WDW), with me waking up and getting ready while the rest of the family slept. Soon enough, Makayla had woken up, but this morning she was crawling around and growling. She declared that she was The...

    For the first time, we went out the back door and saw the Savannah area. Unfortunately there were no animals nearby. We found a group of CM's where were standing outside and talked to them just a bit about what our week had been like. We talked a lot about the weather too. It had gotten...

    If you've happened to read through any of our past trip reports, you will get an understanding of how much we love Boma. We've eaten here at every single trip to WDW. We love that it has food with an African flare that you can't find too many other places, and that it's buffet style so you can...

    While we exited MK, I had what I thought was a great idea. Luke had been so into Big Thunder Mountain and Seven Dwarves...why not take the next step and try Expedition Everest??? -"Luke, would you like to do Expedition Everest when we get to AK?" -"No, it goes backwards." -"That's ok, it's...

    There's always the elation of seeing the castle for the first time, then the pure sadness of seeing it for the last time.

    And then it was time to do one of the hardest things, say goodbye to the Magic Kingdom :cry:. For whatever reason, I find it's actually easier to get through this since coming to MK with children. The constant checking to make sure both kids are still with us takes away from the...

    We parked our stroller and made it to the fastpass entrance directly behind a family that must have been learning about fastpass for the first time. They were engaged in conversation with the cm's there while fully blocking anyone from getting in. I believe they were being told that they...

    After meeting my personal favorite, it was time to head to the other side of MK for Pirates. It was at this point that Sara started to go into the "awwww, these are our last few minutes in MK" mood. I had avoided that thought up to this point in the day. We planned out days out a little weird...
