Great Pics!!!!

Thanks!!! If only I could get back to it, but I’m behind on 10,000 other things (sigh).

Thanks for following!

Back at AKL, the kids and I had hot showers and quickly got into our PJs and under the covers while DH went in search of a late night snack at the Mara. Day 3: Animal Kingdom We woke up around 7:30 the next morning in order to get ready for our breakfast ADR at Boma, which NEVER disappoints...

Day 2 cont. We found our bus stop easily and saw that bus was already there and ready to head to AKL. We decided to make a run for it, along with 5-10 others, but as soon as we got there we saw that it was jam packed. However, never fear, another AKL bus pulled in as soon as the first bus...

Ah, that explains it...

Day 2 cont. I know @Tuvalu often talks about her Shirley status, but I just assumed there was no way this would ever happen to us on this trip during this week in particular. However, after the resort monorail stopped at the Contemporary - everyone exited our monorail car, and the car in...

The weather was starting to warm-up enough that we could take off our long sleeve shirts and pants. The MPB brought us to the front of the park in no time at all, and we quickly headed up the ramp to the Resort Monorail to hitch a ride into the Contemporary. The kids thought this was SO COOL...

Time to get this trip report back on track. Day 2: MK Day #1 The pixie dust had already taken over and I was up and at it around 6:00 a.m. with no alarm. I quickly got ready, and woke DH to go next. Then we both had to wake two very reluctant kids who moved like SNAILS. I kept trying to...

I know it doesn’t get much love on these boards, but we loved Chef Mickey’s. It had such a fun vibe and the food was hot and replenished often. Plus we were there close to the switch from brunch to lunch so we got to sample all of the breakfast and lunch desserts. FYI - find a Mickey Dome...

All I can say is that it is A LOT of food. By the 3rd day I felt like a blimp.

Day 1 (cont.) The kids discovered the pool on the way out of the Mara and, of course, wanted to swim. It was only about 75 degrees out and the temperature was dropping with the afternoon sun. Nevertheless they changed quickly and jumped right in, eventually making their way over to the slide...

Day 1: We were up and out of the house by 6:45 a.m. and at the Parking Spot by 7:15 a.m. Now, it was in the low teens in the 'burgh when we left so what to do with our big heavy coats? Leave them in the car or waste valuable souvenir space in our suitcases by packing them? I think you know...

Finally ready to start my first trip report! For those who don't understand the title of the thread: Yin-zer: One born and raised in Pittsburgh and very proud of it. Who? Me - SHP, my DH, and our two kids R(8) and G(5) When? Dec. 26, 2017 - Jan. 1, 2018 (yes, we were crazy enough to...

She was so sweet to remember Em’s birthday and brought her a chocolate bar from her hometown. Em, did you love the Sarris candy? I grew up just a few miles from the factory and no other chocolate can compare for me.

It was open New Year’s weekend. The slice we had was good, but not amazing.

I am planning a full trip report, hopefully I can get started tomorrow, but the long and short of it is that my 8 year old was unable to rally at midnight and we decided to let him sleep and try again next time. The hard part about going the week between Xmas and New Year’s Day is that it is...

Yes, that’s correct (although I’m a “she”). We will be doing a lot of walking the first few days so by this point in our trip I’m hoping they will fall asleep by about 7:30 or 8 pm, and then I would wake them up at midnight, and hit MK for a few hours and then go back to bed. I may just...

Has anyone ever taken young kids (mine are 8 and 5) to very late night EMH? We will be visiting next week when MK is open until 3AM, and I thought it would be fun to put the kids to bed early and then wake them up at midnight to go ride their favorite rides with no lines. Good idea or horrible...
