Trip Report Our Slightly Crazy All For Our Dear Lil’ Emy One Day MK “Worldwind” Trip...!!!!!

I’ve never done a formal TR here, as I generally tend to hang in the Chit Chat Chit Chat thread and do “mini TRs” of our travels (mostly non-Disney) there.
But, I felt (at least to me anyhoo ;)) this silly-fun trip merited a more “proper” TR...!!! :)

Warning, as this first post will be text-heavy...

Background:
Oldest DD called me on a Friday afternoon in mid August and asked...
“Hey dad, ya’ wanna’ go to Disney World for a day?!” My reply... “Seriously?!!!” (We live in Austin, Texas). But, DD had found some crazy-inexpensive airfare on JetBlue.
I was all up for it, of course, as we did many spur-of-the-moment road trips with our kiddos when they were younger, but, nothin’ on the scale of this “air trip”... oldest DD was kickin’ it up a notch...or two...or more...!!!!! :hilarious:
The original plan was for all 7 of us to go...
Oldest DD, SonIL, granddaughter (Emory - “Emy” in the title), DWifey, DS, youngest DD, and myself.
Unfortunately, I was the only other family member (besides the first 3 mentioned) that could make it schedule-wise.
The original trip date was scheduled for 9/3, but good ol’ Dorian jacked that up flight-wise...!!!!! :facepalm::bored::hilarious:;):)
No worries, as we had a family cruise (not Disney ;)) that we were all able to make from 10/5-10/12, and we simply rescheduled the “Worldwind” trip for 10/29...!!! :)
It was a beyond amazing quick trip...!!!!!!! :joyfull:
But, even though it was such a short trip, I still have a ton of pics and videos I need to go through...seems like more than if it would have actually been a week-long trip...!!!!! :hilarious:

OK, a quick intro to us 24 hour-ish turnaround, half-ish away across the country, WDW trip silly geese...!!! :D;):)

SonIL (Daniel), Oldest DD (Megan), Granddaughter (Emory - “Emy”), and my ol’ darn self (Steve - “Pappy”)...!!! :)

That pic was taken as we were were exiting the park, and Emy looks a bit tuckered, but, I assure y’all she had a most amazingly Magical first WDW visit...!!!!!!! :happy:

OK gang, on that note I’m out for now, but, I’ll try to keep this TR updated on a timely basis...after all it was only one day...but, boy howdy, it was one incredibly AWESOME Magical day...!!!!!!! :joyfull::inlove::happy:

Megan has the best ideas. A baby in a pumpkin? Would never have come up with this one when my kids were that small. Is that a bit of the pumpkin in her left hand. Is she eating her chair?

It would indeed appear (I noticed it, too!) that Emy's munchin' a piece of her "chair"...!!!!! :hilarious:
Megan does come up with some of the cutest ideas for Emy, and I have no clue how/where she came up with that one...!!! 🤷‍♂️;):)

I sowwy…!!! :oops:;)

Late to the party but now happily following!

Thank you very much, and good to have you along...!!! :)

Cassie was our Skipper and she was a hoot...!!!!! :hilarious:
I don’t know if any of y’all have ever had Cassie as y’all’s JC Skipper before, or maybe there’s more than one Cassie ;), but, ours was great...!!! :)

Another hit with our dear lil’ Emy, and although she probably didn’t understand the vast, vast majority of Cassie’s commentary ;) she also seemed to get a bit of a chuckle out of all her silliness too...!!!!! :hilarious:

Anyhoo, more JC fun...”We’re entering the Congo...how far con we go...?!” :joyfull::hilarious:

Thank you, Emy really got a kick out of it...!!! :)
I thought I saw somebody around here also mention Cassie, and how fun and into it she was. I don’t ever recall having a bad skipper before, but, CMs like her take it to the next level...!!!!! 😄

PART 7 - EMY MAY OR MAY NOT GET SPOOKED...!!!

But, first we needed some grub, so we headed to Pecos Bill...!!! :)
I had the Taco Trio, Megan had the vegan Plant-based Southwest Cheeseburger, Daniel had the Bacon Cheeseburger, and Emy had some munchies that mom and dad brought along for her.
Only have pics of Megan’s burger and my Taco Trio, but all of our Pecos Bill choices were good and satisfying...!!! :hungry:

Actually, Emy ended up not seein’ much of HM as she was hungry, and as Megan was feeding her under cover she dozed off...!!!!! :hilarious:

We had no FPs for PotC, but, it was yet another mosey-on...!!! ;)

Also, Emy was still dozin’ as we strolled through the queue and boarded our bateau :geek:...

Following!
I love the idea of a whirlwind trip!!! Those make the best memories!!
Glad you were able to enjoy it fully!

Thank you so very much...!!! :)
It was just so much silly-crazy fun...!!!!!!! :joyfull: Other than what Park we were attending and the 3 FPs DD made, we just, literally, winged it in and out for just the one day...!!!!! :hilarious:
We just thought it was so crazy-cool that we actually did it, especially as far away as we live...!!! :) So many other Guests that we ended up in conversations with (due to how adorable Emy is :inlove:) thought it was very cool, too...!!! :)
It was just so silly-fun to do, and I’m bettin’ this won’t be the last time we do it...!!!!!!! :joyfull::D:happy:;):)

I too LOVE that pic sooooo very much and that’s why I put it in my first post...it kinda’ sums up all the Disney Magic through a child’s eyes...!!!!!!! 😍
But, there are similar pics to come, and at the end of this TR I have a few pretty cute videos that I’ll post.
Again, thank you so much for your kind words...!!! :)

We were kinda’ surprised at how light the crowds were, but, since the 29th was another MNSSHP day (and we didn’t even get into the Park ‘til 12:35p), we figured most Guests were either waitin’ to get ready for, or had gone back to their resort to get ready for the party...!!! :)
