When?
December 3-8, 2019
Jill and Nick were there November 30-December 6, 2019

Why?
To celebrate Jill's 40th Birthday and Christmas :)

Where?
Port Orleans French Quarter - our favorite moderate

The title:
I like the title the 4 M's because that's what Max calls my Mom, Betta, him and I - Mary, Mom (Betta), Max and Megan :) Then - just added some initials :hilarious:

Day 1 December 3, 2019
After work I headed home and met up with my Mom, Dad, Max and Betta and we headed to the airport. We were originally supposed to leave the next day, but that flight got pushed to 5 am and I work typically until 9 pm on Tuesday nights. So, I adjusted my schedule and we took this flight instead of having to get up SUPER early after a late work night.
I should mention that Betta was on crutches this trip - this is from her surgery I have mentioned before (hip surgery) that she had 8 weeks ago. Needed some help getting around long distances.
I had a hard time taking photos this trip just due to pushing the stroller mostly so sorry in advance.
We had some dinner in the airport then headed to our gate.

Our room was ready and it turns out we were next to Jill and Nick and Betta and Max were next to us. We did not ask for this so that was a nice surprise.

Our plane was at the gate but for some reason no one got off for forever. Then, we had 10 wheelchairs that needed to go on one at a time.

Finally we boarded about 20 minutes late.

We ended up having to de-ice. It was SUPER dry out at the time we were supposed to leave but all of a sudden started snowing SO hard right before we left.
You can kind of see it outside the window

So...in the end we ended up leaving about 45 minutes late :confused:
The flight felt like it took forever but eventually we landed at 9:30 pm.

Day 6 December 8, 2019
We got up at 4 am and got ready to leave for home :cry: While we were waiting for our DME people were out and about waiting to go to Hollywood Studios -before 5 am! o_O
They did extend the hours this day so I think the park opened at 7 am - makes sense why there were up so early !

Thought of your family while watching the Bills play. I’m LSU alumni so I follow TreDavious White-he was one of my favorite players at LSU.

I think its worth doing at least once! Star Wars fan or not its worth going on just to see how far they have come in terms of attraction designs - its SO different but amazing!


:facepalm::banghead: She did not actually crutch - they were just for her to walk with for balance support after her surgery :bored: She did not need them at all - my Mom and I were confused why she even had them since she was told to get off of them weeks before
I think you talked me into it!! We're landing early evening & don't have any plans for that night. We're headed to HS the next day so we should be well rested to get up & go for it!!

🤣🤣🤣After being on them 6 times in my life(5 surgeries & 1 broken ankle) as soon as I'm told to get off them in the trash they went!! I didn't have to be told twice!!

Just finished your report! I agree, Jill doesn't look 40 AT ALL. Maybe it's cause I'm getting closer to 40, but people just look younger these days :hilarious:

Thanks for bringing us along! Excited to hang out with two Ms a little bit next month 🥳
