Trip Report It’s a Long Way Down Holiday Road... my first attempt at a Live report!



Let’s get this started, shall we? :)

Jack be nimble... Jack be quick... ohhhhh oh oh...

My family has a long tradition of blaring Holiday Road at the beginning of any road trip but especially to Walt Disney World! If my son was going we would do this at the gas station, filling up, windows rolled down whilst wearing Mickey ears way, way, far away from Disney. We get some pretty hysterical looks from people. This time it is just Clark and Ellen, so we will be blaring it in the car as we leave the driveway in a few hours. (Mickey Ears will still be on) :D

We drive mostly at night, so I will sleep. I am a horrible rider, worse than a 2 year old as any of my family will tell you. So my hubby hopes he can at least make it to Florida before I wake up and begin my complaining of Oh, my gaaa, are we there yet... etc. I usually wake up in Georgia though lol because, I am uncomfortable and to be honest too excited to sleep!!

Right now, I am bored and counting down the hours while he sleeps! Packed and ready to go, worse than waiting for Christmas morning.

This will be my first attempt at a Live-ish report- so bear with me.

For those that didn’t read pre-trip report, we are staying at Coronado Springs til 9-11. Free dining so lots of food pictures. I am obsessed with taking photos of Disney food.

I will update here and there as we go, and I am awake. Hopefully I can get another beautiful shot of going through the gate as the sun comes up, there is not a prettier sight to me!

See ya real soon!! ;)

Have a blast! And enjoy your time as a wife.....there’ll be plenty of time to be Gigi and Mom once you return. 😉
Thank you and you are right! We have been to Disney for our 15th, 16th, 17th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th anniversary and never just us two! So here is to a 26th just us. (A few days late this year but still our anniversary trip) We are on the open road!
Safe travels & I hope you have a great time!! Looking forward to this!!
Thank you! I am so stinking excited. :) Headed out now!

And we are here! Earlier than we thought. The good news is slept almost the whole way, so it went quick. Bad news did not go through the gate at sunrise. At Coronado right now, fingers crossed they will have a room ready!! It looks so different, pulling in! That tower is huge.

I honestly almost fell over when we walked in they did not tell us, just said a king preferred room. Nothing like that has ever happened to us before. A waterview when we paid Standard a couple of times but this was HUGE!!
Great day we got to DHS upgrades to APs. It does not effect dining plan to do so. Have been on RNRC 3 times, ToT twice, and did standby for Toy Story Mania it was at 30, but was more like 20. Ate lunch at Rosie’s, and now enjoying a Brown Derby Cosmo at the Lounge. Will post pics soon! Having a ball and so loved Toy Storyland. Going back in a bit to ride Aliens. :)
