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!

I'm so sorry you got such devastating news. Good that you have some time with the family coming up. Hopefully that will raise spirits a bit, and they say laughter is the best medicine....how can he NOT laugh at Una's antics? When is her birthday?
Yeah it's been tough.
He is definitely looking forward to seeing her.
Her birthday is this month.
And thanks for the info on the baby rocking. That is what they were taught to do also.

Hello @MickeyCB
Thank you for letting us come along during this trip
My thoughts are with Gary and you
I hope you have a safe and happy trip to see Una and quality family time back home for Christmas

Take care

Max
Thank you very much for following along Max and your kind thoughts.
But I will admit I was waiting for you to make some kind of wonderfully snarky remark during the report that you have become famous for! 🤣

Loved the trip report! Your Una is just the cutest. Sending you thoughts of hope and healing for Gary. Wishing you and your family a joyous holiday season!
Thank you for tagging along, and I (prejudice though I am), think she's cute too!🤣
Appreciate you kind thoughts.

What a great trip you've taken us on! The photos that you have are memories to be cherished for sure and I love that it makes Gary smile. My dad is disabled and the one thing that makes him happy these days are seeing photos of his great grandchildren. Praying for all of you for a good prognosis and successful treatments. Merry Christmas and we'll "see" you in the New Year! Camille
Thank you for following along on our adventures. And I agree those photos are precious.
It's nice that that your dad is enjoying the photos.
And thank you for your prayers, we'll take them.

except for the parts that weren’t….
Una is such a strong willed being, like her ladder climbing Grandpa😂
Thinking of you always my friend….😘
And you know what, you definitely have to have the fun to carry you through the parts that aren't.
It's going to be a trip getting to watch Una grow up!
Stay warm up there on the coast!

Wow - this is what I get for showing my compassionate side!!! JK of course

You made me go back and check all my posts

1) Great start post - always simple and appreciative for writing a TR
2) Groovy Batman Gif - funny but not snarky I admit
3) Christmas Stitch - how can I be snarky when you presented me with "imitation is the highest form of flattery"??
4) She a pistol - trying to add some education content (al la Epcot) - so sue me for trying to elevate your TR!!!
4) You and Seth alone - being supportive - him opening up is something I enjoy when my daughters do it with me
5) Multi posts about your GR experience - again supportive of you being so mistreated - you deserved better
6) Wrap up post - i feel for you and Gary and fingers are crossed for a good outcome

So I took the high road (for a change) because I think you need a friend more than a smart (Alien Spinning Saucer) at this point

Ahhh there it is!!!
I'm an imitator, I've been educated, my report needed elevating, and now I've got a new magician friend, that isn't a saucer!
My life is complete!!

Happy birthday to her!! I'm a December baby, too, as is my son, and my nephew. December is a very busy month for us! Well...usually. But since my BIL and FIL both have corona, my nephew's birthday was canceled, and we couldn't celebrate my birthday last week, nor my son's birthday the week before that. And Christmas is up in the air. Here's hoping you all stay healthy and can get together to celebrate! I forgot if you mentioned it....have you all gotten boosters? We can't get them yet here. My FIL and BIL got corona just before they started offering boosters here, and they are only offering it to 60 plussers for now, so we aren't eligible yet.

I hope you do eventually get to do all of your celebrations.
Gary and I are boostered (is that even a word)?! 🤣

I don't "know" you, but do feel like kind of know you? Yea, that sounds crazy, but true.
I am a grandma too, 6 times over, with one great g-baby:)
I am so glad that your family could enjoy disney together. Una is a doll! I notice Gary staring at her in some of the pictures, instead of at the camera. He must have loved being with her, and allof the family
Best Wishes for a Nice Christmas with your family.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
