Trip Report I'm Tagging Along ~ LIVE! *COMPLETED*

Almost everybody has one ~ a friend or relative who doesn't think twice about inviting his/her self along with whatever you have planned.

I never thought I'd be that person.

Fortunately, I have a very understanding family who is actually excited about my joining them at WDW. < Phew! >

It's been a year since my last live trip report, so I hope I can do @JenniferS and her fans proud!

The Who's ~
Me, @Tuvalu

My parents

My youngest brother T and his wife E

And then something my trip reports have been missing....

Adorable children!

A is 5

M is 4

and L is almost 2

Come along for tag-a-long fun!!

How did I miss this?? Oh yeah, I was boarding the Disney Dream as you were landing at MCO.

Catching up now! Back later with comments.

@TuvaluI admire you for doing a mostly live TR! I've been considering doing a live TR for our November trip which in theory shouldn't be too hard since it's a short trip and we won't be in the parks. I might drive M nuts, though!

I appreciate your kind comments, @bee. Live trip reports are fun to do but are very time consuming...I could never have done it if I hadn't had my own room....Woody and Em would have felt neglected.

As Ellen would say: "You're late. Where have you been?!"

A few final thoughts ~

The parks are SO MUCH FUN when seen through the eyes of young children.
None of the interactive endings were working this trip....no Haunted Mansion, Small World, Spaceship Earth
I WAS NEVER RANDOMLY SELECTED FOR ADDITIONAL SCREENING!!
Pop Century is a fine place to shower and sleep. Bus service was more reliable than monorail service!

I learned that my dad's taste in hats has not changed over the last 45 years.

On the other hand, my little brother has changed over the last 30 years.

Lastly, I learned that "tagging along" can be a BLAST!!!

I hear ya, buddy!!

Then again, Tuvalu performs a public service here to the downtrodden (a.k.a., the rest of us . . . ) by supplying us with her upbeat TRs--so that we all have an escape valve from the horrors of daily reality !!!

Great report, loved all the photos! The kids are adorable, I thought it was funny that A seemed most delighted to meet Belle, and the look on M's face in the Pascal picture was hilarious--she looks rather peeved to have a chameleon on her arm!

I agree that family trips work out best when everyone's got their own space.

 

[MississippiBelle]

Loved your trip report! Little M is a spitting image of her momma! Is it weird that the airport pics got me really excited for our trip? (23 days!!!) Our flights always have connections through Atlanta, so the airport train there always make me feel like I'm on my way to Disney!

Are you ready for another or should I take a breather?

READY!

 

[LadyBelle]

I'm ready! I need motivation to start mine.

 

[Zipadeelady]

A little jealous but always ready!!!

Oh my goodness! What a great time! I loved seeing the throwback pics along with the new ones. Such special memories and I can't thank you enough for sharing them. Can't wait for the next trip! Keep up the great reporting!

 

[JamieLee18]

Yes! another!

Thanks! Can I expect a land and sea TR? < crosses fingers >

Thanks for reading! Agree, M is a mini-me of her mom! A looks like his daddy, but even more like my oldest son (weird how the gene pool works.) We haven't decided who L resembles yet!

Have a great vacation!!

READY!

I'm touched, y'all. Won't be a live one (can't do that to Woody) but will try to start in a week or so. @LadyBelle, here's motivation to start yours...beat me!

Breather??!!! Hey, no slacking off here!! Time's a wastin' -- we need another TR now!!

I guess by the time you read this you will be enjoying yet again another WDW trip. It was very interesting reading a live trip report while there. Made some adjustments on the fly due to it. Have fun on your current trip, while I sort through all of our pictures in trying to figure out which to share and the post trip report I should be starting soon.

Thank you for sharing.
