Trip Report Merry Birthday To All... And To One, A New Pair Of Crocs???

Day 1… December 9,2023

We were all beyond excited to visit Disney World during Christmas time. We had decided to make it a triple birthday celebration. Hope‘s birthday being December 22, mine December 28 and Ross is January 3. It was the perfect celebration. Although it was strange not to be accompanied by Julia. My sweet gorl had too much school work to do and could not get away to come with us.

I’ll be honest, I took zero notes on this trip. I don’t know what I was thinking… so I’m going directly from memory.

I helped out with Ross the morning we were leaving. We had a late flight out. I was hoping we could make it on an earlier one. We managed to get to the airport and switch to the earlier flight. I was happy because that meant we could head to downtown Disney and have some Blaze Pizza. Oops sorry… Disney Springs.

At the airport, we ended up having a couple of hours before our flight and we were starving, so (after a quick stop at the Lego Store) we stopped and got something to eat at Flavortown - Guy Fieri‘s kitchen and bar. I’ll be honest, the food was really good, but it was so expensive!

The flight was good.

We were on a plane that had touchscreens which meant a lot of movie choices. And of course, I found my favorite Christmas movie!

We landed around 8 PM and checked into All-Star movies. Hope was extremely excited to stay here! She has very few memories of being here. When I booked, I booked movies because it was the least expensive room. We managed to get upgraded to a preferred room and I asked for the Fantasia section. When we checked in, we were actually in the Dalmatians section, so I asked if they could switch it and yes, they did without any problem! I had a very happy Hope.

We got settled and put our stuff down and then got a bus to Disney Springs and enjoyed our pizza!

After, we got a map to the Christmas tree trail and walked around for a bit.

I realize something right away, it was cold! I had read a lot and watched a lot of YouTube videos about Disney in December, I knew to dress in layers, but when they said it was chili, I had no idea it would be this chilly

We returned to ASMovies and settled in for the night. I unpacked our stuff and we went to bed with our bellies, full and a lot of anticipation for the week ahead.
