Trip Report So I guess Disney thinks Canadians do not celebrate Christmas?? A Max Trip Report- COMPLETED

A big hello to all my Disney friends:

As the title suggest this is a trip report regarding our recent Christmas adventure at Walt Disney World

Why the title you ask? I will keep you guessing on that one for a few days at least

Details leading up to the departure can be found here:

https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads...-max-the-girls-and-the-boys-do-disney.951075/

This is my 6th trip report on these boards so hopefully you have read at least one before

The reason I say that is that my style might not suit all - I can probably sum it up as

1) Shoot from the hip
2) Do not pull punches
3) Definitely not PC
4) Not always PG
5) As much Seinfeld references as @Tuvalu can handle
6) Not too heavy or too light on the Pixie dust -keep it real and call it as I see it

Quick introduction will come from:

Day 1 - Travel Day towards the US but not quite beyond the comfort of home:
Friday Dec 21, 2018

The original plan was to drive from our home in Waterloo Ont Canada to Buffalo NY on Sat Dec 22.
With a 10:35 am fight a same day drive could have worked.

We switched it up to a drive on the day before and booked a hotel in Niagara Falls Canada

(our B&B in Buffalo backed out on us - @Doc Disney can try to explain how she let us down!!!)

So here we are at the Embassy Suites on Friday enjoying our homemade Mickey cookies

Me (Max, Andrew, Clarence) and Tricia

and this is all of us at the Falls ( selfies are harder with six people!!!)

This report will chronicle Disney trip 28 for me and lucky(?) 13 to WDW.
It is also 13 to WDW for Tricia
The girls celebrate 10 trips to the world
Trip 2 for Shane (though his memory of the first is limited)

And - 1ST TIME FOR JORDAN!!!!!!

More Day 1 to follow and then off to Buffalo the next day!!!

Welcome aboard, ashore and wherever we are!!!

Walked over to Launch bay to do some meet and greets (with actual characters this time!!) and let the boys get their SW Geek on!!

While in line for Kylo these two came by and started to harass the people in line - asking one person for Identification

Here is how it played out

Max: "What don't you just go away!
Storm trooper: "That would be a NO"
Max: " WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHOT ME - YOU GUYS COULD NOT HIT WATER IF YOU FELL OUT OF A BOAT!!!

(I got a good laugh on this one)

Well they proceeded to take down the chain and escort me out of the line for questioning

It went something like this

So yes - I got arrested by the First Order !!

Wait....what???
I think I was very clear....
Right? Uncool, Max. Uncool.
I think it was very cool - from my vantage point!
I agree that the music of Illuminations is very good and the globe scene does slow down the show.

Can't wait to see how you get arrested!
Something strange about the fact you are excited that I was incarcerated!!
Max, care to elaborate on this cliffhanger please? Did your hand got stuck in the pooh honey jar?
No because if my hand was in a hunny jar the hunny would act as a lubricate and I would be able to get it out!!

Thanks again for sharing! More than great report!!
Much appreciated - thanks for following

All caught up great TR, did the Disney police get you or the green army men
Please - those guys are easy to get away from!!

Ahhhh, the infamous Max cliffhanger. 🙄
Always leave them wanting for more!!

Trying to be patient...

Don't leave us hanging...

Looking forward to more!!!
100% LOVE THIS!!

Your family might have been a ship. Mine was more like a barge!! Ha Ha.
Time stamps put us on slinky at 8:27, saucers at 8:59. Keep checking your pix for those yellow shirts!!!
Sorry I did see you - I am sad that we did not meet

Not sure if I was able to add the kicks in the sit down position

You rebel scum!
LOL

Love Seinfeld! It occurred to me if this episode was redone today, instead of wine glasses in everyone’s hands, it would be smart phones and everyone would be filming Elaine’s “dance” 😂
How true!
Be honest Max, the whole time during your “arrest” you were already thinking how you were going to present it in your TR 😂😂
Actually I thought about it after - during it I was just trying to get the big laugh from the crowd!!

I am glad Cassie caught it on video - it is her voice saying "BYE DAD!!"

A very fun interaction!
It was fun!!
I am literally LOL-ing at your arrest, @amjt660! (And I am imagining my dad doing something similar if there had been Stormtroopers in MGM back when we went on trips as a family.)
I know - I am such a Dad!

Well, your departing "gesture" after your arrest by the First Order was unique. :p I was briefly detained once by the First Order (they were roaming around DHS, looking for enemies), but I was able to talk my way out of it, and with no departing "gesture"either . . . :hilarious:
Just to clarify it was only a gesture and there was not a full moon over DHS on this day!!

Briefly????
Did you do that on purpose???
@MinnieM123 is so punny and she might not even know it!!

Hello everyone!

The drink that Jordan got was the House made spiced sangria. He thought that it was pretty good but not amazing.
The drink that Cassie and Shane shared was the Jungle Navigation Co. Shandy. They told me that it was okay when they mixed it.

My mom and I loved our meals and we would recommend both the salad and the falafels! (and the wine :) )

OMG, DR Loosen is my absolute favorite! I buy it here at home and it's like $8.99 a bottle! I like to keep a DR in the house. LOL
