Trip Report Doing it Live One Last Time! It's Our "Let's Try Some New Things" Summer Adventure to Disney World

Since its already after nine and we are getting up at 2:45 for our drive from the Lehigh Valley to the Philadelphia airport, I figured I'd get the beginning details of our trip posted.

Our flight is scheduled for 6:50 am arriving in Orlando at 9:20. Ive been looking all week on the SWA site, and it has shown this flight arriving early each morning this week!

Our first resort is AKL. We plan on dropping off the kid's carry on bags at bell services, trying to check-in, then heading straight to the MK. We have FP+ for Peter Pan at 12:30, followed by lunch at the Plaza at 1. After lunch, we have FP+ for SDMT and Space Mountain. Crystal and I were able to ride the mine train twice during the 24 hours in May, but that was an adults only trip (really wish I had done a live TR for that trip), so this will be a first for Brayden and Madelyn.

We have a week long stay planned at AKL before moving to GF for a week and finishing up a relaxing resort only stay at YC. We never just did resort only activities in WDW, so this will be a first for us.

Other firsts this trip will be both water parks, La Nouba, and Harambe Nights. We also have The Frozen activities planned in HS.

We are trying a few new restaurants as well. As I stated in the countdown thread, we have no plans on a trip to WDW or DL anytime soon. We really want to see and do many of the things we always talk about, but somehow never end up doing.

Have a good night everyone, and I'll be posting as time allows in the morning. Really excited for this trip!

I guess school starts later at home? We start back tomorrow .. Got our Fall break schedule mixed up so the kids get an extra week off after we get back from our trip .. Glad our school worked with us on it

I've been following along since the first day! What a great TR! I absolutely love the doing it live approach! You have inspired me to attempt this in January! Following along with you and your family brought a smile to face with every post! It sure made it feel like we were there too! Sorry to see it end, have a safe trip home!
We had a good time. If you do it live, take a charger to the parks with you!! You'll need it

Thanks for reading

All safe back in our home!

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to read and comment. I appreciate all of the kind things said about our family.

Getting on the bus today wasn't as hard as I though after how tough it was to leave the MK on our last park day. I'm happy that we are safely at home. The real irony is that we had a Disney vacation planning DVD in our mail today asking if we were planning on returning this December! How mean is that?

Anyway , good night and thank you again for taking the time to read. Think I'll go back and read through it myself tomorrow. Might even read some of my old ones too. :)
