Trip Report 10 x 2 wishing for an extra magical celebration! Completed!

I'll start this pre trip by taking you back in time. Approx 10 years and 7 months.

I was having my first ultrasound with my amazing OBGYN. This being my second pregnancy I was an old pro. All 31 years old and cocky. When my doctor suddenly said "Oh, here is why you have been so sick. Baby A and Baby B. You're having twins."

The world stopped. Everything came crashing down around me. I was speechless, dumbfounded even. I couldn't process anything she told me and was sent on my way to digest the news.

10 years later, I look at my beautiful, brilliant, unique and sassy girls and I am still speechless and dumbfounded. How did I get so lucky that the Universe gave me you?!? So this trip is all about celebrating Bear and Nene. Double Digits Baby!

Sounds like a fun time at DHS. We actually got to see Fantasmic in October for the first time in at least 6 years or longer and it was really great! We love the skyliner also and sometimes hop on just because it's so relaxing!

I am taking 3 of our kids to WDW over spring break so I am making Fantasmic a must do.

Love that you got so much done right away at AK even with the hour wait at Avatar FOP! We haven't been to Yak and Yeti in many years but after hearing that your husband thought it was the best meal of the trip, I'm going to add it to the rotation for our January trip! It's so nice that you were able to get the whole family together for this trip.

Our food and service were fantastic at Yak & Yeti. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. We can get so much accomplished at AK in the morning. We didn't get to slow down and see the animals since we were park hopping. I regret that but we only had 2 days in the parks with my parents. I loved having both sets of grandparents with us. We did have a hard time boarding a few rides but the memories made were worth it.

After dinner it was a race to make it on our GOTG LL.

Grandma and Nana were racing.

Paca decided to sit this one out but Pawpaw was along for the ride.

This appears to be Handsome's go to face on this ride.

After Guardians it was time for TT. This was my one mistake this trip. Due to my Mom's stroke she struggles with core strength and control of her body. I told her that if she sat on the end she would be fine. I wasn't in her car and didn't realize she wouldnt be able to scoot all the way across so she ended up in the middle. She had a terrible experiences as a result and I felt awful after.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

My mom was struggling so we decided to head back to the resort instead of watching fireworks. Skyliner for a quick exit. It was an early night but had been a great day.

7:00am we were back on the Skyliner on our way to DHS. The grandparents decided to come a little later since our first destination was TOT with it being down the first day.

We actually ended up riding 3 times in a row. This side of the park was absolutely dead. It was so fun. After the 3rd time we decided to get coffees and do a little shopping since the grandparents were on their way.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

Once we were all together I required a picture since we missed our Epcot picture the night before.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

Lines were still fairly short so we jumped in line for MMRR. It was a 20 minute wait and we were all able to ride together which was so fun. Since we were crammed like sardines my mom was able to handle the tango scene.

We had a LL for MM with so many grandparents along Hubby and I were able to take a rare ride together.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

Next up GE. We don't let our kids have soda at home but at WDW those rules fly out the window. Handsome had to have one of the fun cokes.

We had an ILL for ROTR so that was our next stop. I was so excited for my dad to ride this one. He is an engineer who loves Star Wars so I couldn't wait for him to experience this ride.

My mom was not happy about the little drop but my Dad loved every minute!

 

[Sillysidewalker]

We had a LL for SDD so back to TSL we went.

Timing worked out well since our lunch ADR at Rodeo Roundup was next.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

My kids aren't big BBQ fans so not really worth the money for us since my girls were all the price of adults and the only thing they ate were biscuits.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

We wanted to take my dad on the Falcon before heading out so back to GE we went. No pictures from SR but we did run into these two.

After this we bid DHS adieu and went back for a very brief rest/swim. We were on the bus to MK by 4:00.

“Happy Thanksgiving to all the readers! Thanksgiving is my favorite good food, drinks, family, friends. No worrying about the perfect gift or hauling out bins and bins of lights. The perfect holiday in my opinion. “

I know it’s not but you make the coordination of all the families for rides and food look easy!

 

[Sillysidewalker]

My family was starting to get annoyed with my picture requests however the humored me and did it all over again.

The girls decided the needed to take their own photos.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

We were thrilled when they announced Tron would be opening early since it fell on our trip dates and we could all ride it (those that wanted to) we had scored a 5pm ILL so that was our first ride.

I like the shirts! Fun way to sort of match but still pick your favorites.

Next up was Space Mountain. Handsome was getting crabby so fights about who got to be in front ensued.

Next up Jet and Hubby's favorite.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

We had burgers and chicken fingers at Cosmic Rays and then said goodbye to Tomorrowland. We made our way across Main Street to Pirates for a LL. My mom had a very difficult time getting on and off this ride. If we had a do over I would have probably skipped this one due to her mobility issues.

We stopped for Dole whips after this and then we cowrites some happy haunts.

Hubby and I had our own buggy.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

We decided to get a spot for the fireworks. Since both grandmas needed the handicap viewing area we had a difficult time getting spots. Not all of us could join them so we had to split up. They let us hang out together until the show started and then Hubby and my dad had to go outside the viewing area which stunk but I understand.

No pictures except the one of my Mickey bar. I just wanted to be in the moment. It was a great show but it took forever to get out of the viewing area. Fortunately the park really cleared out. Lucky for us SDMT was down to a 30 minute wait which ended up being 20.

 

[Sillysidewalker]

We decided to do some shopping on Main Street and then head out. I needed one last night shot of the castle and my girls were more than happy to jump in.

We were able to catch a bus within 5 minutes so we had great bus service every time this trip.

Oh the coordination and pleasing all the personalities can be such a challenge. We don't get as much done as we would like but love all the memories we can look back on. And that's why we book the next trip!
