Soooo I haven't been on the boards much at all, but decided to check things out this morning and couldn't be more excited to see your report, Darolyn!! Great timing. My heart belongs to Tuvalu, as that's where Brett and I stayed on our engagement trip. Perfect location. And that view...

Kelly!!!! Ahhhh your report is awesome... I've been reading a little here and there for the past two weeks. And foolishly I decided to wait until I caught up to post my thoughts, and you know what that means... it's all a hazy blur now. Your days in the Virgin Islands had me reliving my...

Love those pictures of Spaceship Earth! Citricos in one of our favorite signatures right now... glad to hear it delivered! And I forgot to say this in my earlier post, but lodge-hopping, while it sounds cool, is actually over-rated. I think for us, the split stay made the trip, as a whole...

Hooray! Loving your report, Shannon. That intro shot of you and your man is super cute. Love it. Your pictures of Sanaa and the AKL resorts are #awesome. I'm totally with you on the tree at the Animal Kingdom... definitely my favorite park tree of them all. Looking forward to more awesomeness!

Karen!!! I'm just so sad you're not still there. I remember talking with you on the phone about a year ago and May 2014 seemed incredibly far away... it's just around the corner now. Let me know when you'll be back! You know what, @dragwit ? I don't think I pushed the button... if I did, I...

Thanks, @mcstensrud ! Thanks so much, @disneyfan1995 ! Thanks, Shannon! Those are two of my favorite shots, as well. And yeah, Lucas wasn't quite sure what to think of Belle. And she was gorgeous! Girls weekend to the west coast?! I'm down! Maybe @Disneyfalcon and @sweetpee_1993 can...

Day 5 – Friday, June 21st: The Long Flight Home Up early again, I had the brilliant idea to pack everything up and then take a walk over to the Grand Californian for Mickey waffles before going back up to our room to grab our things and walk back down the street to catch our shuttle back to the...

We did some other things that have since escaped me and then headed on to Route 66 for a couple more spins on the Racers before calling it an early night. Lucas was getting incredibly tired and we had a busy day of flights coming up. We grabbed something to eat as we were...

First stop in California Adventure was Clarabelle’s for ice cream. It doesn’t get any sweeter than having your first taste of ice cream on Disney property! We hit up a Bugs Land for more adventures of the creepy crawly variety.

Next up... Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, which I hear is a real nostalgia bomb for 80’s Disney babies! Of course, we couldn’t leave Fantasyland without stopping for my favorite photo op. West coast version: You know, now that we’ll be living in Florida, I guess the Sword in the Stone is...

Halfway back to the parks, I realized I’d forgotten something back in the room (I think it may have been Lucas’ sippee cup, but I’m not sure now), so the guys went ahead. When I caught up with them they were sitting on a ledge outside Disneyland. Turns out Lucas had just met the most gorgeous...

We grabbed a delicious lunch at the Storytellers Café in the Grand Californian. I can’t recall what we had, burgers and sandwiches, I presume, but I remember it being delicious. And more importantly, it was a nice retreat from the mounting heat outside. Little man enjoyed exercising his...

In Fantasyland, we wandered through the castle. I love how they brought the story of Sleeping Beauty to life in the walls. Similar yet different than Cinderella's Castle. We didn’t ride them, but there’s no question that the teacups in Disneyland trump those at the Magic Kingdom...

I’m torn as to which coasts’ version I prefer. Disneyland’s exterior is far superior and I love the inclusion of the small world characters... I feel like they enhance the ride rather than detract from it. That being said, I was completely weirded out by the fact that our boat was in a canal...

As we were exiting Toontown, Lucas was still sleeping (his internal clock was all off) so I hopped aboard the happiest cruise that ever sailed while Brett continued to stroll the little dude. I was excited to ride the original version and was afraid we wouldn’t get back to this area of the park...

For whatever reason, Brett was really amped up to do this one, so I figured, “Sure, why not?” Oh my goodness... it was so good. Lucas was entranced throughout the whole ride, even pulling himself up to the window and oohing and ahhing. After this I think we may have indulged in a...

Day 4 – Thursday, June 20th: Park Hopping After yet another super early east coast wake up call, we made our way to Disneyland. I was so excited to get into this park during the early hours of the day. And she did not disappoint. Ahhhh... I can't stress enough how magical mornings are in the...

Thank you so much! I'm glad the pictures show just how much we were enjoying life together. I know what you mean about Disneyland having your heart. That's how I feel about the Magic Kingdom. It's in the east coast parks that I fell in love with my husband, so nothing is ever going to top...

The idea of picking up a map never crossed our minds. I really appreciated DCA, and I think a lot of that was due to the completely foreign layout. Perfection! I might just have to agree with you, Tammy! Thanks, Erin! You guys definitely have to get out there at some point... it really...

Oh yeah, I totally notice other little redheads now, and there really aren't very many. I just really hope that his hair stays this color and doesn't change. I know what you mean about hating your hair and then loving it, I was the same way with my curls. It's going to be decades before your...
