Trip Report And When it's Time to Find Home. We know the Way!! Aue Aue

Good Morning all my Disney loving friends! We just hit the road and our first destination is Charlotte, NC. However, before I get ahead of myself, it is our normal crew, myself, Deighton (I turn the big 5 0 this year), Den my husband and our 3 kids. Hunter who is 20 and is now bartending... Camden 13 still an avid lacrosse player and fisherman and the youngest Brinley, 9 for now but on August 10 she will turn 10 in Disney World.

Here is a brief schedule of the next 2 weeks. As I stated earlier we will arriving in Charlotte, NC around 4 pm today. We have reservations at a southern BBQ restaurant (let the feeding frenzy begin). Tomorrow, we leave early to get to Savannah Georgia as soon as possible. We have a lot that we want to do here but the weather is not showing that it is going to cooperate. Hopefully the weather man is as wrong in Savannah as they are in
Pittsburgh!

After a night in Savannah, we are headed to Disney Springs for 2 days. We have reservations in Disney Springs and this is when we will do some resort hopping. Then it is home to The Boardwalk for 9 nights with a seven day hopper. Then back to Charlotte to meet up with my brother and his family. Then sadly home and back to the grind! I will post more details shortly!

Thanks for following and thanks to all of you who take the time to do Trip Reports! You have no idea how much it keeps me going💞

Today's trip for the kids, not Hunter, was a surprise in terms of when we were leaving and when Den is leaving. It all started in January when Den booked the trip to The Boardwalk from the 5th to the 14th. I was grateful but wanted a longer trip so I decided the kids and I would drive to Savannah on the 2 ND and then to Disney Springs for 2 nights. Den would fly in on the 5th to meet us. Well, as the kids and I made plans, I noticed Den wasn't booking a flight.

Den decided he was taking the time off work and joining us but we never told the kids until we got in the car. Plus they didn't even know that they we were leaving today! Needless to say everyone is very excited!

Yesterday, I surprised Brin with a mother and daughter mani/ pedi. We had a blast! She choose silver sparkle nail polish on her hands to represent the fireworks in Epcot and a royal blue to represent Guardians of the Galaxy.

Please add any comments or thoughts or recommendations. I love all your great Disney advice. It is, obviously, going to be hot as Hades while we are down there. Hence, most afternoons will be pool side.
