Trip Report If At First You Don't Succeed...*COMPLETED*

Well we're trying again.

Easter week at WDW.

Not my favorite week to visit but when your travel buddy is a teacher, you make the sacrifice. Except this year it doesn't feel like a sacrifice. The loss of our Easter 2020 vacation (thanks to COVID) was harder than I expected. I’m excited to have the chance for a do-over!

Of course the plans we had in 2020 aren't the same for 2021. We'll have no Fastpasses to skip the long lines. There will be no turkey sammie for lunch at Be Our Guest or All-American Sundae from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. No fireworks to conclude our Disney days. And we'll be staying at a different resort.

But that's all okay....there's still fun to be had! And thanks to the credit we received from last year's cancellation, most of our trip is already paid.

I have to give David's Vacation Club Rentals props. Eighteen months ago I'd signed a "no refunds" contract for our 2020 points rental, figuring it was a low-risk gamble. When the pandemic happened and WDW closed, we considered our monies lost ~ disappointing for sure, but understanding that was the result of the risk we took. After all, David's is a business which would also lose money from this pandemic. Legally they did not have to do anything for us. Yet I received a travel voucher for the full amount we paid.

I hope to report live on the adventures of Tuvalu and Em beginning next Sunday. Time will tell if I succeed. ;)

Hope you’re having an awesome time! The room at Poly really look nice. We’d love to stay there sometime but we always stay DVC and the studios are a bit squishy with kiddos. Maybe someday when DW and I can go alone (ha! That’s about 30 years from now...)
Are there grandparents or other family members to watch the kids for a long weekend getaway? Couple time makes for strong families. Woody and I took many short Disney trips together when our kids were growing up. No guilt! 🤣

At the moment we can’t quite make that happen, but maybe in a few years. I am hoping for at least a meal away from the kids during our October trip. We’ll have to see how the baby would handle that, but the older kids would enjoy some Auntie or grandparent time.

-The S’mores Brownie—why have I never seen this?? It will be rectified next trip though!! Probably while J’s there getting his funnel cake🤣

-Glad to hear the Apple Watch is working well. I put my card on my phone/watch the other day & am anxious to try it!

-Even before Covid I couldn’t stand when people were in my personal space. I would have done the same thing as you!!

-Seeing your pics threw me for a loop for a second. I thought CHH had reopened & I somehow missed it!!

I know it's a classic and all, but I would have enjoyed the walk through the empty restaurant more than the ride 😂😂 did you notice any artwork or details you've never seen whole eating there before? Without fastpass on our last trip, we went through quite a few new to us queues which was kinda cool. New details.
