Trip Report The More Things Change, the More We Stay the Same!

Hello everyone. Its an exciting time at our house in Eastern PA as we are just hours away from returning to Walt Disney World! After not traveling to Disney in over 6 years, we will leave tomorrow for our third trip in just under a year.

So much has happened over the past year, and many big changes occurred in the just the past few weeks! Brayden and Madelyn completed successful school years which included conference and district playoff runs in several sports.

I was able to complete successful winter and spring track seasons. I was also appointed as our next boys' XC head coach which I'm really excited about. But the biggest change was Brayden graduating high school!

After a lot of time and college visits, he decided that Arizona State Univesity would be his next stop. Thats a loooooooooong way from home, and I have to say I'm having a tough time with hime being away. Crystal and I are both excited for him. We are so happy he has this opportunity.

We leave from PHL at 7:10 am which means we will be on the road by 3:30. We are staying at Coronado for the third time. We stayed there for Maddy's Sweet 16th in February and really enjoyed it. It was our first time there in about 10 years.

We plan on going to Epcot tomorrow with lunch at Coral Reef for 2:30. We've only been there twice and both visits were vey long ago, so we are looking forward to what will seem like a new experience for us.

We are excited that fireworks are back! We will be in Epcot for the 4th, but in MK July 1 when they start again.

Also have one planned wdwmagic meet up and beer exchange with @imahistorygeek and @lostpro9het as well as @ajrwdwgirl. Plan on meeting up on June 30 at CSR with dinner at Three Bridges and probably drinks at Rix while we wait for our table.

We have so much to be thankful for, and so much to look forward to. Can't wait to share another life trip report with all of you.

We made our way to the bus stop back to the resort. The rain has increased, but the wind is still calm and the weather isn’t much more that a slight inconvenience at this time.
Hope the storm stays further off the coast and those that live in Florida catch a break. 🤞

With the weather forecast last night, we decided to sleep in today. Maddy and I are heading to MK now. Brayden and Crystal will meet us there for lunch at the Plaza. Going to Disney Springs after lunch, then back to MK tonight (unless plans change).

weather update: Rain let up by 8. Sun trying to come out now. It’s breezy,
but dry!

You are so fortunate you didn't get any of this weather! I'm down south Florida on the West Coast and last night was a nightmare! I am enjoying catching up and I have to say that Crystal has such a beautiful smile and when you see the whole family smiling together, it's making me smile too!

Hope your weather has cleared and it’s a beautiful day there!

I’ll pass on the kind words to Crystal

Had a great night at MK last night. There was a steady rain as we exited Pooh that lasted up until Happily Ever After began. But, as soon as the first fireworks were launched, it stopped. I stood in the same area again last night, and it was by far the least crowded its been this trip.

Maddy and Crystal watched from a different angle tonight.

Brayden chose to ride BTMR three time and Splash Mountain instead. Another great night!

Heading to HS this morning. We have RotR boarding group 16. Stopping for drinks at Oga's again today. No other set plans. We would like to se fireworks in Epcot tonight.

Have a great day!
