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 Toyotas)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!!

There was an excessively snobby couple with a child sitting next to us waiting for pizza and drinking water! Yep you heard me pizza! As a bartender, every stool at a bar counts and is revenue. As I quickly figured out what was going on, I felt really bad for Austin. First the highly entitled people repeatedly asked when the pizza was coming because they were so hungry. This woman was unbearable!

Then Amber brought the pizza and they ordered more. By now you can probably guess that Flying Fish doesn't sell pizza. Amber was ordering it for them at The Boardwalk pizza take out. Obviously, that was much of our entertainment.

Makes you just want to B slap them!!

Best appetizer- Homecoming Key West Shrimp cocktail

As my kids would say when they were younger, looks funny.

I am telling you! It took everything in me to keep my mouth shut! Den kept giving me the death stare. The older I get the harder I am to silence... sorry... in advance for future me!

Just binged your trip report and loved it! You're making me want to pop into Flying Fish on our November trip. We'll be at the Swan (kidless)...my husband would really love that steak, I think.

As you know, I highly recommend it! I also enjoyed Ale and Compass/ Crews Cup too in Yacht Club. Enjoy your trip without the kiddos. Den and I may try for a trip without the kids in January. Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone! Happy August! I had a very magical day today and I wasn't in Disney!! I met an old yet new friend today! You all know her well... @riverside came to see me at work today. As it turns out, it is an extremely small world. We live very close to each other plus I work with her neice. I can't tell you enough @riverside how much it meant to me, reaching out and then making the effort to come meet me! I had a fabulous time and look forward to more time together. @Tuvalu had a major part in our meet up because of her keen memory.

My buddy Bill is obviously not very good at photography. I wish it wasn't blurry. Happy Sunday everyone.

Hello all!! Den and I are so excited! We just booked a flight for Disney, just the 2 of us, for January 17 through the 21st. This will be our first trip alone together since our honeymoon which was 13 years ago! I can't wait! We will be most likely staying at Port Orleans.

Have I mentioned I am so excited!

Thanks for a great trip report, I read the whole thing in one go. Your family sure knows how to enjoy themselves. Your next trip on January actually coincides with my first trip in 6 years.
