Trip Report Social Disneying *completed*

Social Disneying



So we just returned from a much needed trip to the World!



I did a semi live trip report but wanted to do a more thorough full report and what our thoughts and experiences were going back in this crazy world we have been stuck in for almost a year now.



This year was the longest gap in Disney trips for us in years. We usually do yearly 10 day trips but took advantage of AP’s in 2018 and 19 and went 4 times from September 2018- August 2019. I was way overdue for some Pixie Dust to put it mildly.



The whosits and what’s its galore!



Myself, Gigi-



DisneyB, my patient hubby that has put up with my addiction to all things Disney for 30 plus years now.



And my precious Stinker- (3rd trip) He is as addicted to Disney as his Gigi is. I taught him well. ;)



The where- The Yacht Club (my first stay here and a major Disney Bucket list item to check off!) January 10-16th.



Most people that are familiar with my reports know I despise being in a car. It is torture. For me and for B- because I complain like a 4 year old. He chooses to drive at night so I will fall asleep and not make him question why he agreed to make the trek with me again. I had a tall glass of wine that evening and took a couple of melatonin gummies after Stinker was back out in the car. I fell asleep pretty quickly in SC and did not wake up until a little past Savannah so B had a good drive down. If I make it that far, I am so excited to be that close and don’t complain as much. I nodded off again around Jacksonville and we were at the gate around 6:30 am!

It was before 7:00 am when we pulled into the YC and I got the text the room wasn’t ready but B went in to ask, just in case- Score! We got a first floor room just across from the quiet pool and laundry.

While he went in to check on that I had my screen open and ready to try for RotR. Ya, right, as quick as I was, it was a big fat no!

The room being ready though definitely took a little of the sting away.



We freshened up, unloaded a few things and made the walk to DHS and was in the park around 8:40ish.



I was so shocked that the Christmas stuff was still up. Glad I got to see it again.



We headed straight here-

And by 11:30 had been on Slink, Aliens and TSM twice each!

Not bad after being out on the open road all night-

I so enjoyed reading about your adventures and your little Stinker is just the most adorable looking little boy! I wish you were going back before the Fall because I love reading your TR's so much! 🤣 Thanks for taking us along on your magical trip!
Thank you so much. I adore him. He looks so much like his daddy did and shares the same sweet personality that he had. It honestly is like getting to do it twice in some ways. ❤️

*attaching a couple of Stinker Sr. He was 3 1/2 in these pics. An added bonus is B’s leftover from the 80’s mustache! 😂 And my poofy bangs. 😑

I wish I was going sooner too but I just know there is no way I can handle a mask in the summer. I am glad you enjoy reading, I love to write them.
What a great report and thank you for taking the time to do it! Loved seeing Stinker's eyes lit up with happiness as well as yours. :happy:
Thank you and thanks for reading. I was glad you could see our smiles in the eyes. I had worried about that. ☺️

I always enjoy your TRs, but I enjoy them even more when Stinker is a part of them. There is just something really special about the grandparent/grandchild relationship (I have really fond memories of time spent with my own - even when it was doing something simple like playing cards). I’ll look forward to the next one, whenever that may be, and in the meantime I know I will think of you each time I do my run by the lake and see Swiss ducks 😊

Love the Stinker reports! It's so cool to see that you all are genuinely having the best time! I agree with you about their safety. We were there in December and I was hesitant to go at first, but once we arrived, we felt pretty safe overall. Eating was a bummer, but thanks to @Darstarr, we were well prepared for that. 😉 I am looking forward to your next trip, even if it is a few months away! :joyfull:

I enjoy my trips more when he is there too. I love that you tag me in the duck and bird photos. It always makes me smile, ridiculously.❤️
Such a fun report!! I enjoyed it so much. Thank you for sharing. And Stinker is cuter than a button!
I grit that same way when we took our trip in September. I was anxious at times but for the most part really enjoyed myself. We had one of our best trips ever. Until we all get to return...... 😊
Thanks for following, and for the kind words about my buddy. It was different but good!

Thanks for reading, I always love your reports. Hope that cute grandbaby is doing good and can’t wait to see a grandbaby report one day.
Can’t believe the Stinker fun is done.

Thank you guys for reading- here is to hoping for many more Stinker Trip Reports and a Tinker report in a few years! I so adore my little Avenger but I could totally deal with a little frilly princess Disney buddy too. ☺️ Ooh, maybe a Superhero princess???? She does have a ’tude already. 😂😳
