Pre-Trip Grand Flo Kiddo Ressie Hacks

Nothing like starting off a PTR with words that make me puke in my mouth 😀. With that part out of the way...I'll be heading down to Disney soon!

Will I be staying at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa? No. Will there be kiddos? Yes. Hacks? What isn't a "hack" nowadays according to social media?

I'm excited for this trip as it will be a total of 8 people! My sister threw together a somewhat last minute trip for the summer and got a 2 BR villa at Saratoga Springs for us all. Who will be on this trip? Obviously my sister and I (sans Bach)

Her 2 boys, my niece and her brother, her girlfriend and my nephews girlfriend will all be joining us! That's 8 total!

I've visited with my nephews and niece many times as they've grown up but It's been years since we've all been down together.

I'm so excited for us all to be there together again!

As Mentioned, my sister booked a 2 BR villa at SSR. We tried for BW or BC but on such short notice it wasn't happening. Either way, we are all together.

We head down this weekend! It's only a 4 day trip since school starts back a few days after we return, but I have a feeling this will be the first of more trips together. The kids are just as excited as us and already making plans.

Please pardon my absence from the forums over the last few months, but as usual I have a valid reason pertaining to animals. Edith (my female Malinois) had puppies!!

Edith and the pups are doing excellent. They just turned 7 weeks old yesterday! 7 females, 2 males.

This been quite the adventure as I've had to movie in to our pet center with Edith and the babies because she is so protective of them she was stressing out with the other dogs around. She will ONLY allowy wife, Elisabeth (my assistant trainer) and me near them. Luckily there is an apartment on the top floor of the pet center so we're livin' it up 😂

My wife had just returned from 16 days at WDW (yes you read that correctly, 16!) and Edith had the puppies shortly after she got home so we haven't been under the same roof for nearly 2 months. I've returned home for a weekend and Elisabeth stayed with the pups so we've had a little time together and we meet up on weekends as well. It's been like we're dating again and we've made the best of it. She did tell me that she likes waking up and everything was were she left it and there's no crumbs in front of the fridge 😂😂

According to influencers, if I walk into AK through Rainforest Cafe, get a drink at Tune In Lounge, sit down by the lake at Flame Tree BBQ or cut through the breezeway at Boardwalk courtyard to the pool, I'll be utilizing "hacks"!

PUPPIES!!! I would never get anything done with all of those adorable bundles around! I had the pleasure of having a neighbor who got a Malinois as a puppy. I was the only neighbor Bella would let into the yard 🥰
Edited to add: C was there for 16 days?!?!?!?!

Yes, it was originally 6 nights at WL and on day 5 she was sad about it being over so we booked her a few more days. This process repeated itself several times 😂

She can't tolerate the heat in the summer so she wouldn't be able to return until October so we decided for her to get her Annual Pass' moneys worth 😁. She had recently returned from her very first solo trip ever and had fallen in love with it. I wasnt able to travel since Edith was bursting at the seams and she's stayed home sooo many trips to tend to our animals while I've gone down. It was the least I could do.

Disney is her happy place that reminds her of her mom too. I think it was therapeutic for her to be there alone and enjoy the memories.
