Trip Report 5 Adults vs 1 ten month old. Guess who won?!

Hi All!
Back from another stay at WDW and it was different for sure!
We had a new traveler with us and definitely did Disney differently for that reason and a few others.

I would like to give you guys a heads up before you read any further.
If you have read my trip report from last year you may be aware that my husband (Gary) is being treated for cancer and there are some references in here to how he is doing, because that changed a lot of how we toured this year.
If you are uncomfortable following along because not everything is pixie dust in this report, I will not in any way be offended if you click away. (I much prefer a sexy vampire book myself to a story that has moments of sadness)!
Luckily there were some great family/baby/children moments that brought us joy and new memories were made!

So with warning given and to those who are going to hang around, let's begin!

Our group consisted of myself, Cindy, my husband Gary, my son Seth, my daughter Aleisha our son-in-law Julio and our now 10 month old granddaughter Una. (And PS, she is a crazy girl)!!
We stayed at Bay Lake Oct. 21-27th.

Cast and crew (and one of my favorite pics of the whole trip).

To arrive at Disney everyone was coming from different places at different times. Gary and I headed down from Pittsburgh with an afternoon flight. We left around 2:15 pm and got in close to 4:40 pm-ish.
Us headed to the air side on our version of the monorail.

We had time to eat at Friday's (I think it was). Gary had some potato skins that he liked and I had a kids mac and cheese and french fries that I thought tasted pretty good.

In the meantime my little sleepy head was headed to Orlando from Sacramento with her mom. They started out at 6 am-ish, west coast time.

She did seem to perk up to her usual nosy self once they were on board!

One thing you will notice this trip is a disproportionate amount of baby pictures! 🤣

Seth headed down from Georgia, deciding to drive.

As crazy as it sounds, our 2 flights landed within 6 minutes of each other and we were able to meet Una and Aleisha as they got off of the monorail thing!
So excited to see this Mickey 50th wrap on one of the cars.

And Grandpap and Una's airport meet up!!

Julio wouldn't be arriving till the wee hours of Saturday am so we don't have any travel day pics of him.
Next up, is grabbing 800lbs of luggage and off to the Magic Bus!

Thank you for reading and your kind thoughts regarding Gary.
And Una was definitely a hoot! And yes it was an annoying interaction, but it is very nice to admit that the majority of CM's are the best!

And since you brought up Christmas, I apologize as I am using your post as a sneaky opportunity for me to show off my Mickey tree and a few other pics of our crazy girls Christmas. 🤣

Our Christmas morning pic that Una was not having because she wanted what was in the photo after that!
And I promise no more Christmas photos after this!

Sorry, I lied. One more. Lots of money spent on toys and this was her favorite.

So what you're saying is that she's part cat? Loves boxes, climbing on things, and is easily distracted by Christmas decor...

I LOVE the Mickey tree! My ornaments generally get lost in a regular tree, so I really like the way the branches let them shine! The pics are just adorable and that is so sweet that Una kisses the phone for grandpa. That must melt his heart. :happy:

Thanks, my Mom found that tree on sale on sale one year after Christmas and I love it. It has super strong metal branches that will hold really weighty ornaments.

And I apologize for this TR taking a left turn to Christmas stuff, but I couldn't resist showing the Mickey tree and Una pics.

It's funny, last night I was thinking that it would be neat to just have a chatty Magician thread for people that have come to "know" one another on here. To check in with people, drop a funny experience, etc.
Not linked to a TR, but don't know if that would be desired or legal on this site.

Yeah sort of like that, except more of the TR crew. I noticed a lot of the posters on the multiple other threads don't seem to be into the TR's.
But most important as I was writing my idea I was thinking of you @Tuvalu and your term chick chatting I believe it is, which I love.
But, men would be very welcome to guy gab as well! 🤣

Well, it is your TR after all, so you get to set the rules. So if you want to be chit-chatty with us, you can 😉
(You could add chit chatty to your TR title)

There are actually a couple of threads like this. In the general chat section, there's the Chit Chat Chit Chat thread, and also the Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget thread. Some of the same people have been in both for years. You are welcome to join us!!
