    Trip Report *COMPLETE* How to Break a Disney Curse in Three Easy Steps: 1) Two Chipmunks 2) The Dapper Dans 3) The Best Mom Ever

    APRIL 7, SUNDAY: CHECK-IN DAY AND EPCOT Part 2 We ventured outside to walk across the little court yard and into the DVC building. Of course we had to stop by Ariel and take her picture! We’d been inside Beach Club before this (and had breakfast and dinner there), but we’d never been in the...

    Trip Report *COMPLETE* How to Break a Disney Curse in Three Easy Steps: 1) Two Chipmunks 2) The Dapper Dans 3) The Best Mom Ever

    APRIL 7, SUNDAY: CHECK-IN DAY AND EPCOT Part 1 After a fitful night’s sleep (where “sleep” was pretty much absent), we rose bright and early, because our train was supposed to pull into our stop at Winter Park at approximately 9:43 am! We chose to go into the Winter Park station instead of the...

    Trip Report *COMPLETE* How to Break a Disney Curse in Three Easy Steps: 1) Two Chipmunks 2) The Dapper Dans 3) The Best Mom Ever

    Unfortunately, we didn't take the auto train. It goes out of Virginia, as far as I know, not NYC. But that is a train you could fit your son's truck on! ;) I definitely did that the next morning, haha. Thanks! Glad you're enjoying! Thanks! I really enjoy the train, though my mom only...

    They definitely provided a magical moment later in the trip! :inlove: Of course! They weren't easy to get, but I knew I had a forum to report to, haha. Thanks! Glad to hear it! Glad to be of assistance! Honestly, I still prefer driving, but I'd take the train over flying any day (while I...

    Trip Report *COMPLETE* How to Break a Disney Curse in Three Easy Steps: 1) Two Chipmunks 2) The Dapper Dans 3) The Best Mom Ever

    APRIL 6, SATURDAY: TRAVEL DAY Part 3 (Final Part) Then we decided to have our lunch, as those bagels felt like a million years ago. I didn’t take pictures (though I am proud to report that the DD breakfast and this lunch were the only food I forgot to take pictures of!), but I got a crispy...

    Trip Report *COMPLETE* How to Break a Disney Curse in Three Easy Steps: 1) Two Chipmunks 2) The Dapper Dans 3) The Best Mom Ever

    APRIL 6, SATURDAY: TRAVEL DAY Part 2 Finally, our track number was announced (it changed at the last minute from what the agent at bag check had told us, which is always stressful) and the escalator was actually working, so we were soon on the platform. No time for pictures when the train...

    Trip Report *COMPLETE* How to Break a Disney Curse in Three Easy Steps: 1) Two Chipmunks 2) The Dapper Dans 3) The Best Mom Ever

    APRIL 6, SATURDAY: TRAVEL DAY Part 1 Would it really be a trip report from me if there wasn’t some sort of drama involved, after my previous three trips? Nope. A few days before we were meant to leave, my nose started to get a little runny and I was feeling a little off. I’d been staying late...

    Trip Report *COMPLETE* How to Break a Disney Curse in Three Easy Steps: 1) Two Chipmunks 2) The Dapper Dans 3) The Best Mom Ever

    Well, it finally happened. I went to Walt Disney World, the place where, for the last three years and last three trips, I: Found out my company was closing, and thus I wouldn’t have a job in a month; Tore my ACL in Hollywood Studios, ended up at the ER, and had to be on crutches and use a...

    Meeting Ana and Elsa at Epcot Question

    Checking the MDE app, it appears they do start meeting at 9, so if you rope dropped it and were some of the first in, I think it's possible, for sure (they have quite a few meet-and-greet rooms, though not sure how many would be operating right at 9). And even if you were 5 or 10 min late to the...

    Best/ Favorite Animatronic?

    The dueling ghosts in the ballroom of HM, for sure! They weren't working earlier this month when I was there, which was a bummer.

    Pre-Trip Fourth Time’s the Charm? A “Keeping My Fingers Crossed" 30th Birthday Pre-Trip Report

    OK, random mini trip reports over! Here are our plans for this trip! SATURDAY, APRIL 6: My mom doesn’t fly, and she didn’t want to drive, so we’re taking the train. When we went to Disney at Christmas in 2009, we sat in Amtrak coach. BIG mistake. So on our 2018 Christmas trip, we got two...

    Pre-Trip Fourth Time’s the Charm? A “Keeping My Fingers Crossed" 30th Birthday Pre-Trip Report

    And now, to our most recent trip. This one's partially my fault, because I started looking at this trip as a "do-over" for the other two. So I kind of set myself up for failure. But it also isn't as bad as the first two (this was more of a "kick her while she's down" situation). Dec 2018-Jan...
