    We took the buses to AK and DHS and we got lucky that the Poly was the first pick up and GF after, so we always got a spot for Nathan to sit. Sometimes DH, my other brother and I would stand but we were ok with that as long as Nathan and my mom got a seat. Thanks so much for reading!

    thank you so much for your kind words. It made me tear up a little. In a good way, of course. Very few people understand what its like traveling with an adult on the spectrum, so I really wanted to write this report for everyone to read. Thanks so much for reading!

    Yay! Welcome home, too! I believe we bought around 220 points and Disney "gave" us a full year for 2015 even though it was June. So that gives us enough points to stay at Disney World for 10 days in a studio at the Poly and a long weekend at Disneyland a year if we always borrow from the next...

    Thanks for reading! I loved every second! I want to turn 30 again! I would definitely recommend getting a custom cake! DH and I used the cake talk forum here to learn how the process works. Thanks, blisters are the WORST, but luckily they weren't that painful for very long.

    Yay! I finished it, now just some final thoughts Polynesian Village Resort: I absolutely loved this resort, it's by far my favorite of all the resorts we've stayed at. And now we own there! So it's always home for us. I loved the rooms, you don't think that the size is really that big of a deal...

    June 30th, continued. After Living with the Land we stopped for this picture. It was hot... Then we started walking to Via Napoli for our lunch reservation. It never fails, every year I forget how far Italy is from Future World. It was a long, long walk and my mom kept asking if we were...

    We are almost there! Last day, I can do this! June 30th, Epcot Day It was our last day. We spent the morning packing up and sending our luggage down to bell services. I was worried about this day with Nathan because we wouldn't be able to have an afternoon nap. So we slept in and I scheduled a...

    Sooo, we bought DVC! It was incredibly expensive and I'm still not sure if buying it now was the best move for us. We love the Poly and we are going to both Disneyland and Disney World once a year each so we bought enough points that that was possible. It did take quite a long time and we had...

    It was still raining when we finished with Belle so we donned our ponchos and walked to the Haunted Mansion. It was raining really badly by the time we got there but the queue was mostly covered. Had a great time on the ride, Matthew said how much he liked the hitchhiking ghosts with the more...

    June 29th, our last full day. This trip was very long, but it seemed to be flying by, and I wasn't ready to go home at all. When we were walking towards the monorail in the morning Matthew spotted Ohana and was sad we weren't eating there again. We told him to hug the sign and we'd take a...

    June 28th, continued. DH decided after that that he wanted to collect all the Starbucks mugs. So we walked (I hobbled) across Discovery Island to get to the Starbucks. Nathan loves Starbucks so he started walking happily towards it. I think we stopped at a kiosk and I put this on him on the...

    June 28th! Animal Kingdom day! I think this was the worst day for me, feet wise. Those 2 blisters were enormous and both on my right foot. There was no way I could walk without searing pain in my feet. It felt like I had rocks inside my foot when I walked. I'm prone to blisters and I was doing...

    June 27th, continued. We had dinner reservations at 1900 Park Fare and I think we left an hour before our reservation time. We were traumatized after the fiasco it was getting to the Hoop de doo. A quick monorail ride later and we were there super early. However we had time to browse all the...

    June 27th Epcot day 2!! We woke up kinda late after the big day the day before. We were exhausted! We had Fastpasses for Test Track that ended at 1010 so we were rushing to get there in time. I think this time Matthew said he didn't want to walk to the TTC to get on the Epcot monorail...

    After we ate we walked down to the dock because we had booked a Wishes fireworks cruise! DH had called and booked this some months before and had paid extra for some Happy Birthday decor. Yolanda was our skipper and she was great. She took us to Bay Lake first and she had extensive...
