Helloooooo humans! If you've read my last report, you'll remember that we took our then six-month-old to WDW, and it was a huge adjustment from the way we used to do Disney. It obviously didn't scare us off though, because we are getting ready to go back for more! I hope you all enjoy following along! Let's get down to business!
Who: The usual crew, me (Katie), my husband and Disney partner-in-crime for many many trips, Jason, and our son, Lincoln, PLUS my mom (we'll call her Grandmama), and my younger sister (we'll call her Auntie A, or A) - you may remember my mom and sis from my cruise TR. We're looking forward to having some extra hands to help with Lincoln, and Grandmama has even offered to take care of bedtime a couple nights so J and I can stay out late!
When: Monday, May 30th - Saturday, June 4th
Where: Port Orleans French Quarter! An all-time favorite for us. We'll miss having access to the Skyliner (makes it sooo much easier when you have a stroller), but I can't pass up a stay at POFQ, especially at the same price we paid to stay at Pop back in December.
Why: This kid is about to be ONE on June 5th! I cannot believe how quickly the past year has absolutely flown by. I cry every time I think about it, or look at pictures from when he was so tiny, so I'm sure I'll be an absolute wreck on his actual birthday.
Funnily enough, one of the first things I thought about when we found out we were pregnant is the fact that we're going to be stuck going to WDW in the summer if we want to celebrate his birthdays there.
We've been in mid-May and September multiple times, so we're hoping it's not too much worse, as far as heat goes. We're also nervous about summer break crowds, but honestly, I don't think the crowd levels have felt "normal" since our last pre-COVID trip. I don't know if there's just an influx of people making up for cancelled 2020 trips, or if this is our new normal.
We are leaving two weeks from today, and I hope to post at least a couple more updates between now and then!

. Birthdays with Mickey are just the best 
That should put us in the bubble sometime between Noon and 1pm. I've requested early check-in, but we all know that's hit-or-miss. We've asked for adjoining rooms, so at least they should be ready right around the same time. If our room is ready, we'll go ahead and unpack/get settled. If not, we'll hang out for a bit, maybe take L over to the splash pad at the pool.
. With that said, my goal for this day is to grab an ILL for FoP first, and a LL for Na’Vi River Journey near the same time if I can. We’ll head to either Everest or Kilimanjaro Safaris first during Early Entry, depending on how the crowds look. We’ll head to the Safaris first if it’s already looking packed - J, Auntie A, and I can always ride Everest later via single rider if need be.
