Trip Report **COMPLETED** The 4 M's Go to Disney: a 4th of July Extravaganza

Hello everyone! We are back from the World so I figured I should start my Trip Report :)

Who?
My Mom (Mary) and I (Megan)

ANDDDD (you are not just stuck with the 2 of us)
My sister Elizabeth (we call her Betta) and my nephew Max

Where?
The Contemporary :) This was Betta and Max's first stay at the Contemporary - Max's first Deluxe stay :)

When?
July 4-7, 2019

Why?
We all have off on Fridays so with the 4th being on a Thursday it was a free 4 day weekend!

The title?
Max liked to say that the 4 M's were going to Disney: Max, Mommy (Betta obviously), Megan, Mary :hilarious: My Mom pointed out the 4 M's and he loved it!

T-1 Day July 3, 2019
After work we headed to meet Betta and Max at the hotel we were staying at across the street from the airport. My sister and Max live about an hour away from us so it is much easier for them to stay at a hotel before a trip - especially one where we have to get up pretty early.
We had an incident bringing our suitcases up to the room and my Mom accidentally tripped on this sign so we felt the need to document it :hilarious:

After we got Betta and Max settled into their room we headed to Cracker Barrel to get some dinner with my Dad before he dropped us off for the night.
We could see the airport from our room :)

July 4, 2019 Day 1
We slept decently well and woke up at 4 am - this particular hotel we stayed in was much better than the usual one we stay in across from the airport so that was nice.

My sister drove us over to the Airport so we did not have to take the hotel shuttle. She parked in a lot I was very unfamiliar with and we ended up having to take a shuttle from there to the airport which took more time than I anticipated. Naturally I was stressed out. This parking lot is cheaper which makes sense but I am spoiled by where we usually park when we are with my Dad :joyfull:
Thankfully check-in and security were fast and we made our way to grab some food for breakfast.

Happy to read another of your trip reports. Love all the pics. I like your Sam Eagle shirt. It's a close running for me between him and Fozzy on my favorite Muppets.

We will be there the same time!
Have you decided if to tackle RoTR so close to opening day?

It opens on my sister's birthday and she has this bright idea we are going to try and ride it on the 5th - aka get up at like 4 am and do it :joyfull: Its likely not going to happen. What about you ?
 

Oh bother!

We had a universal day planned that day... but as we are visiting from the U.K. and won’t be back until 2021 I think we are going to have to brave it 😞 I don’t even like Star Wars but the OH does.
I’m hoping they are going to extra extra magic hours, as they are for land opening!

There are so many EMH when it opens in August I would imagine they would extend them! I hope anyway

Just catching up on Trip Reports!! Loved that you were able to take your nephew and get him to start calling it the funorail!
I totally got Max to refer to it as the fonorail "because it's not the real monorail"


The cupcakes looked delish! I'll have to share mine next time so I don't end up in a sugar-coma! I love that they do holiday/seasonal cupcakes!
Dulce de Leche. It is chocolate with a caramel center and a caramel truffle on top
Mine is called the firecracker cupcake which is red velvet with berries inside (the hat part is white chocolate)




oh - just being here with you guys.
HOW SWEET of him!!! I'm so glad he had a great trip!

Again he loved it despite his face
His facial reactions are priceless! I wouldn't think he enjoyed it just by his terrified look!

- no more stone picture things
Tim Tracker said they were removing all of them from EPCOT's entrance but due to the 20-year contract, they are on display "Somewhere" in the parks (I can't remember where).

In the beginning we were catching Max at the bottom of the slide but by the end he was doing so well with swimming to us at the bottom!

Good for him! Totally brave!

I always enjoy your trip reports so much! We are going to be there on Sunday and are staying at BLT in a theme park view for the first time. We usually do standard view and have lucked out with good views but I didn’t want to risk missing my view! Can’t wait to go to sleep watching the castle.

I think they are putting the stones out in the parking lot area-at least that is what I read. Thank you for reading!
