Trip Report **COMPLETED** The Hotter Than Hades Birthday Trip

Hey guys...sorry I am super delayed in writing this and I am certain it will take me forever to write this one too! But....I do want to share it so here we go!

Who?
Back to the usual ....my Mom (Mary) and myself (Megan)

When?
July 9 - 17, 2021

Where?
We stayed at the Yacht Club again :)

Why?
My 33rd Birthday - and it was hot out.....:hilarious: Also - I barely took my camera out so most of these photos are my from my phone. Sorry in advance :)

Day 1 July 9 2021
We got up at 3 am (😩), got ready and headed to the airport. My Mom stayed at my house so we could just drive together and not wake my Dad up :)
We got to the airport around 3:45 am and we were stuck in the Southwest line for forever because everyone forgot how to pack a suitcase, check in, take out a passport, etc etc.
Anyway - we eventually made it through security and to our gate.
Time for our usual date sign!

We were in row 2 on the plane!

We actually had a layover in Chicago which was super annoying. It was essentially the same distance from Chicago to Orlando as it is from Buffalo to Orlando so it was an extra 1.5 hour flight for the same distance essentially :banghead:
Obviously it could not be helped as Southwest added this layover after I booked and there were no other options but we still complained :joyfull:
There was barely anything open at Midway to eat so we got some donuts. I only took a photo of one of them apparently. Off to a great start :hilarious:

We checked in and our table was ready just as a calvacade was coming by. The CM seating us noticed this and let us stay outside to watch :)

We decided to use our Fast Pass for BMTMR. We figured this que is so hot so we could skip waiting in it some other time. We thought about Space Mountain too but figured at least that que has AC. Turns out we never actually got on Space this trip because it was always packed and the line was outside :cry:
Anyway - the line was crazy for BTMR and Splash - it was so crowded in the area

It was so weird using a FP when there were none - I felt like I had to explain to the CM why I had one :hilarious:

Back at the hotel we picked up one of the Birthday gifts my Mom got me !
I always wanted number balloons so I was so excited! There was some candy in the bag that held it down too :)

Awww. Hope you both have a mild course and a speedy recovery.
Thank you. It's no walk in the park but definitely not as bad as I anticipated. Although now R has it too. At least he and and I are vaccinated, toddler E obviously is not. It's like the Covid version of Groundhog Day over here, minus Bill Murray's witty banter.
Trip reports are a nice distraction!

Following along! My family and I was at the Magic Kingdom the same day as you were. And yes, the heat was a bit much.
