Trip Report Change of Plans for Thanksgiving...Let's Just Spend the Entire Time in Disney!

Good afternoon everyone, and thank you in advance for checking in and following along with our next Disney adventure. During the summer, Crystal and I starting planning with Maddy and Brayden to visit both of them at their schools (Maddy at the University of South Carolina, Brayden at Florida State) during Thanksgiving with a few days at Disney between stops. Crystal and I had planned to drive from the Lehigh Valley starting after school today and make our way to Columbia by 2 am tomorrow. We would then stay for the Wofford- South Carolina football game then drive to Disney on Sunday since USC is off for Thanksgiving after today. Brayden has classes Monday through Friday next week, so he would bus it Wednesday afternoon to meet us. We would then leave Disney on Friday and drive to Tallahassee for the FSU-UF game on Saturday.

Well, as the season went on, USC football tickets went up as the team is having a great season. For some reason, FSU tickets started high (they were preseason top 10, so that I get) and have stayed high even though they are awful! We had a great hotel in Columbia at a very reasonable rate, but we had no luck in Tallahassee even though they are 1-9. Plus, I wasn't really looking forward to driving so much when we only had about 10 days.

Crystal and I started talking and we decided to talk to the kids about flying down and just meeting at Disney. We had to work a few things out, like Brayden's classes and not going to the games (which has all been worked out), but we are now set to leave tomorrow and all meet up in Disney!

Crystal and I leave from Philly at 5:40 am, Maddy leaves Columbia at 5:10, and Brayden leaves Tallahassee at 9. We are staying at Riverside for only the second time. We have all of our park and dining reservations and LL's selected. The plan is to start at Epcot for the final day of Food and Wine.

The trip just happens to coincide with our 25th Anniversary which was November 20.

I'm sorry for Maddy and the family as to spending time in the ER
It sounds like she's getting better and I hope you all have a continued great time together.
I've really enjoyed reading this report for the way it brings out your family's happiness at being together.
Thank you.
Thank you ❤️

Seems like you are going to Epcot try the Point Snow Pilot Pistachio Nut Brown Ale.
I’m not quite sure which booth it is in but it is brewed in Steven’s Point Wisconsin, about 2 hours from my house. It is an interesting beer, I would be curious on your take.
I will look for it. There are a few beers I plan on searching out today. I’ll add that to the list 🍻
