I don't know how I missed this part of our Thursday night, since it was clearly written in my notes, but when we got back to the resort on Thursday, Sara and Makayla went straight to the room to go to bed, but Luke and I stayed out trying to find the eagles game. We went inside thinking it...

After we said goodbye to Rapunzel, Tiana was waiting for us. She noticed Makayla's dress immediately and asked if Mama Odie had made her dress too. Unfortunately, Makayla and I aren't super familiar with Tiana's movie, so we didn't quite know how to respond ;). We did end up having a...

Makayla and I walked over towards Pooh and got there a little bit ahead of Luke and Sara. Unfortunately, we realized the line for Pooh was closed. There were CM's out letting everyone know about the ride closure and that they didn't know when it would be coming back up. Sara and I grabbed a...

When we had finished Tiki Room, we still had a good amount of time before our next fastpass at Pooh. Luke really, really wanted to do Space Mountain again, but for Makayla there wasn't much over that way that interested her. We decided that we would split up. Sara took Luke over to do Space...

Once we finished with Country Bears, we headed back outside, where there was a hoedown happening right in front of us. Neither Luke nor Makayla were interested in joining in, even though Makayla got specifically invited by the CM in front. Makayla is definitely more of a stay with us girl...

We got in line to go over to Tom Sawyer Island, I was actually pretty surprised at how full the wait queue was. Thankfully we were able to get on the first boat. I talked briefly with one of the CM's who was originally from near us, and she was talking about how the heat had definitely...

Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you're enjoying the report!

After we had done Splash, we took the quick trip to Pirates for a walk on that was only about 20 minutes. We had done Pirates before, but this time it seemed to have an extra dose of energy as Luke and Makayla seemed to really like the fact that we were walking through a dungeon to get to the...

With grumpy Makayla, we made our way through bag check and back onto the monorail over to MK. She ended up getting a small time out on a bench once we got through the entrance, and with that little break she was finally able to pull herself back together :). Our first fastpass was Big...

I woke up the next day and was relieved to be feeling fine after my rough night before. We all got up and ready and were out the door quickly. We had not seen this sign before on our trip. Must have been a couple of late party-ers the night before. Today we started by heading to MK, but...

I've always gotten motion sick, but that was mostly car sick when I was growing up. I remember riding roller coasters all day long when I was younger and being fine. It was certainly a shock to get that sick in just two rides. Thanks. I was certainly feeling dizzy the rest of the night. I...

After dinosaur, we spent some time at the Boneyard playground. This was our first experience here where both our kids were old enough that they could go and play on their own. Makayla had always needed assistance before. Now, she was just like a big kid. :) Luke and Makayla went off and...

We got the bus to Animal Kingdom, then made our way into the park. Our first fastpass was for Flight of Passage, and we were within our return time when we entered the park, but not so much that we had to rush. We started off by finding the kids' favorite bridge. Every year we come here we...

Thank you MickeyCB. We try to do our best. I'm not sure we do that type of thing anymore than any other family, but it does make great memories. I've realized that a lot of the best memories we have as a family are in the down times. It's hard to slow down in the moment, but it makes great...

Sara had to go to a different store to get a bracelet she wanted, so I took Luke and Makayla over to the little fountain to have some fun. After a bit, we met up with Sara again. Luke really, really wanted to do the Lego raceway again, so we stopped there quickly on our way out...

When we left, we made our way over to the lego store which was right next door. They had a race track which Luke loved. You build a car and then line it up, and there is a worker there overseeing it who will start the race when there are enough cars there. Luke built one over and over again...

For our meal, Luke got the Mac and Cheese and Makayla had the cheese pizza. Sara and I each got a Beyond meat veggie burger. Sara got some type of lemonade that came in a light up cup, and I had an amber lager that was local to Florida. I can't remember the name of it right now. It was good...

Our Wednesday started out in very stark contrast to our Tuesday. Tuesday we were up and out the door before the sunrise, and this day we slept in until almost 9am. Our day started by getting into the car and heading to the Disney Outlet Store, which is about a 5-10 minute drive off WDW...

When we woke up, it was time to do some laundry, and go for a swim. I took our clothes to the laundry room and then came back and got ready for the pool. We were able to spend some good time at the pool this afternoon. Sara joined us a little bit after the kids and I initially arrived, and...

Following the Indy show, it was time for lunch. We gave Luke and Makayla a few options on where to eat, and they each wanted to go back to Pizzerizzo and play with the hula hoops. Sara and I weren't thrilled, but they were so excited we couldn't say no. We ended up getting the same meals...
