Trip Report We are GROOT!

Hello friends! Well it has finally arrived and the five of us are packed up and headed to Disney World for a mega trip. We are on the road now and stopping in Columbia, South Carolina for the night. (Max we also have 2 ToyotasšŸ˜)We left a little later than we wanted to because our 2 cats, sensing our departure, escaped outside.

The cast is the same as usual, my crazy Disney family, my husband, Den, my oldest son Hunter, 18, middle child Camden, 11, Brinley, 7 and me, Deighton! Hunter graduated from highschool on June 2 and is doing a year at community College to get his prerequisites out of the way. Our extended trip is his graduation present. (His choice! Who am I to say no.) Plenty of details to come! Happy Thursday everyone! Woohoo!!

These Boardwalk upper floor views might be my favorite ahead of even MK resort lagoon / theme park views and AK savana. I love people watching, the boats, and seeing Spaceship Earth at night. There are some Riviera views with the lake and Skyliner that I also enjoy, but I think this Boardwalk view is my favorite.
It really is amazing! I opened the door to our room and walked straight to the window and my mouth dropped! Lol

Both Tricia and I had a backup battery in our bags (along with 2 bottles of water!!) so that we could re charge during a lunch/lounge/dinner period.

We did not have a dead phone issue all week.

We have 2 cases of water in the freezer so that is never an issue. The chargers are in our roomšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø Trying to get 3 kids ready at 6 am is my excusešŸ˜

We definitely made the most out of today. 9 hours in AK. We did almost everything and had so much quality time together. The safari was the best safari ever! There were so many animals close up! The guide, Halley, was amazing! We chilled at the Nomad Lounge (hidden jem). Lots of photos. Sorry!

Good Morning. Getting ready for fast fingers for Tron. I am beat! Lol. We are, obviously, headed to MK. Brin and I have Cinderella Royal Table Reservations and the boys are eating at The Plaza. We really have no agenda with Splash Mountain getting the Princess and the Frog refurb. That has always been my rope drop. Maybe 7DMS or BTMRR.

Last night, I did not mention, that we headed over to Epcot for extra hours. The place was packed! We did Nemo and toured the fish tanks for a bit. Brin was maxed out! I called a stop to the festivities. I should have known better. Today we are going to slow down and come back after lunch for some r and r.

A picture of the work being done on The Trat. From what I am hearing it is getting new floors and a paint job. We watched the floor cement mixer brought in which Cam thought was so cool it is like another attraction for him. Lol

Love the Nomad
Not sure how much hidden it is now
When we went in 2016 (before Pandora opened) it was less popular than today.

It just so happens, wait for it, I was prepared for this question šŸ˜ However I did not take a picture of the drink menu. Drinks averaged 15 dollars for a decent pour.

It was actually pretty quiet for a busy Monday at AK.
