Trip Report **COMPLETED** Our 50th Anniversary Trip

Hi everyone!
I am super behind on my trip reports (sorry).....I have two trips to write about so better get started with one

Who?
The usual suspects - My Mom (Mary) and myself (Megan)

When?
September 30- October 3

Where?
The Grand Floridian
We wanted to stay somewhere where we could walk to the Magic Kingdom!

Why?
The 50th Anniversary ! We honestly did not know if we were going to be able to go on this trip up until 1 week before. We had canceled our August trip due to COVID numbers so I watched closely and waited for permission from work to go. I finally got the green light to go after the numbers down there dropped quite a bit!

September 30, 2021
We got up at 3:15 am, got ready, and headed to the airport. Check in and security were easy and we made it to our gate with plenty of time to spare.

We did not think we would be able to eat anything because the restaurants have not been opening at the airport very early but thankfully one did and we were able to grab some bagels!

We boarded the plane on time

Magic Bands!

We always play with these things our earplanes come in and always get into a fit of hysteria over them *I'm sure it's the 3 am wakeup calls

Our flight was super easy and we were 30 minutes early!
Loved the fonorail wrap!!

Next up: more traveling

Day 4 continued
We took some PP pictures on the way out. P.S. It was a bad life choice that we did not wear shorts this morning. And that I wore a jersey. I was so hot !!!

And that is it!
We had the best 50th Anniversary trip!! We got so much done and got so fortunate with the low crowds
I felt so lucky to be there especially since we did not know if we were going to be able to make it or not!

Thanks for joining along!

Next up: my October/November trip (if I ever find time to write it)

But it's #22. That's the best number.

I always love reading your adventures with your mum. Thank you for sharing them with us. Since we have just completely cancelled our four week Florida holiday for next year and not rebooked, these TR’s are going to keep the magic alive.

Aww no that is so sad!! I am glad the trip reports help a little!

Great Report! I agree, it was SO HOT all weekend.

I forgot how hot it was until I went back and looked because when I went back a few weeks later it was not that hot!

Its only because my Mom and I can't sit still that we get so much done

As always, I loved following along on your trip with your mom! I did not know that Club 33 was above the Brown Derby! Do you have another trip planned yet?

Bummer, we'll be there the first week. Hopefully our paths will cross on a future trip!
