Trip Report Hurricanes, Foot Pains and “What The Crocs Just Happened?” Anniversary Tale – A Sept/Irma 2017 TR (COMPLETED)

So here we are again… Another amazing trip is over.

My original title for the is report was:

The Best-Laid Plans Of The Mouse & Men… because so many of our carefully thought out schedules & plans were completely turned upside down by Irma and other “forces” along the way.

However, Ross and Julia who do not share my love for Robert Burns or John Steinbeck vetoed that and came up with their own title.

Before I begin our tale, I want to express and offer our thoughts and prayers to all who suffered in Hurricane Irma as well as Harvey & Maria. There are times when I joke about the fact that we were in Florida during the hurricane, but in no way do I not realize the devastation that was caused to so many.

That being said... Let the Trip Report begin! Who’s in?

I’ve been looking forward to this! I got a late start but I’m all caught up now—my excuse though is I just got back from Disney on Saturday night!! I stayed at Riverside(my favorite) also & we took a carriage ride & the CM was telling us about some of the storm damage Riverside got(pretty much just tree damage).
It was so neat to hear how happy Hope was about the Royal Guest Room!!

Hope you had a great trip! Yes - it seemed that Riverside just got some landscaping damage. It was amazing to see the clean up process. We all loved the Royal Guest room - it was worth the splurge!

Thanks so much!! I appreciate that! I started writing them so parents of special need kids wouldn't be afraid to go to WDW. People have called us crazy - but Hope grows every time we visit, and Disney does an awesome job!
