Friday, November 3 My alarm went off around 3:45 this morning. Mom and I planned on being out the door and at the bust stop by 4 AM. I woke up long enough to change clothes, drink some coffee, and brush my teeth. We got to the bust stop and a bus was waiting. We had debated whether or not we...

We got back to the resort with really just enough time to turn around and leave again. While we were gone Jordan and Lincoln went down to the pool. 20171102_180259 by Rachel Metzger, on Flickr We had a dining reservation that night at Coral Reef. Our plan was to go there, eat, and turn around...

I snagged a fastpass for the Haunted Mansion for us. Finally, I was going to introduce Lincoln to one of my all-time favorites! WDW2017-301 by Rachel Metzger, on Flickr Not so fast. As soon as we got to the library scene the ride stopped and pretty quickly the lights came on. An announcement...

Thank you! Glad you noticed the Walter White shirt. We actually named our dog Heisenberg because of that show. Thank you so much! Thank you! Definitely a memory that will be treasured!

We sat him up on a booster seat, and Jordan had his hand on him while I snapped photos. I think viewing a lot of this through the lens of a camera helped me not break down in tears while this was happening. Lincoln was given stickers and a Buzz Lightyear toy to play with to keep him distracted...

He told me to make a face like the Beast. IMG_5709 by Rachel Metzger, on Flickr I understand the technology of scanning with your MagicBands, but this is still just weird. Big Brother Disney is watching you… IMG_5710 by Rachel Metzger, on Flickr We exited Space Mountain just in time to...

Thursday, November 2 This morning we were up bright and early for a morning at the Magic Kingdom. Lincoln even cooperated and wore his ears in the park. My dad arrived late the night before after being away on business. He slept in and would meet us later. IMG_5677 by Rachel Metzger, on...

We left Disney Springs and went back to the hotel to rest for a little bit. We walked from our room over to the pool area and food tent. It is a very pretty resort, but I’m not crazy about the layout. IMG_5658 by Rachel Metzger, on Flickr IMG_5659 by Rachel Metzger, on Flickr IMG_5660 by...

Yes, they do! I even said that I wish we could have taken the stroller in line sometimes just to maximize our time! And thank you!

Thank you so much! Thank you! Meeting Gaston that night would have made it perfect but oh well! Thank you! And yes, Island Sunset is superior! It was wonderful and thanks! Thank you! Thanks! It was a memorable breakfast! Don't let his size fool you. He's quite ferocious when he...
