Trip Report We are venturing outside our comfort zones and hoping the reward is worth it!! April 11 -23, 2021

Hello! I am, again, going to attempt to do a semi livish trip report and then fill in the details when I return. Like Rapunzel, when we made these plans, I definitely was taking a leap a faith! I, like all of us, have had a long year. We are DVC members and it was time to use the points. It is that simple. I can't tell you how thrilled I am now!

The cast remains the same! Den (my husband), Deighton(me), Hunter (16), Camden (9), and Brinley (5 and starts kindergarten in the fall). Some of us are a lot taller and some of us wider...

We fly Southwest out of Pittsburgh early Sunday morning and land in Orlando around 10:15am.( I feel like I struck gold with 2 nonstop flights!) Then we head to the home where animals belong, a one bedroom villa at Animal Kingdom Lodge until April 19th. Then we move to Cabana Bay Beach Resort until the 23rd. Universal is a whole new world for us. Any advice for the entire length of stay is welcome!

I will be posting our plans soon! Thanks for reading! Another big thank you to those of you who posted, happy, positive thoughts and reports during these crazy times. It definitely kept time moving forward and hope alive. It keeps me smiling and tearing up to see your children growing up on this platform! Happy Thursday everyone!!

Next up lunch and the gang was hungry for good reason. A story for the end! Where are we now? Liberty Tree Tavern but eating in the Diamond Horshoe??😅 Inspired by the pirates, I was in search of rum! Instead I found a Blue Moon!

My next bit of news may be troubling to some and I apologize in advance! We, pretty much, did everything we wanted to do in MK and the kids were ready to go back at 4:30! Normally, we would be ok with this but as Den would say, "we are in food prison"! AKL is tough to get food at especially if you get back late. Thank heavens for frozen pizza and cheese sticks last night! We "modified" our Skipper Canteen and took off. We got one of the only reservations available at the Edison....

On our way back to AKL with a bundle of food to go from Edison.( no French fries). Hunter wanted the Edison burger and Den and I got a rack of ribs for me to taste...a loaded potato and Caesar dressing with dressing on the side for Sally (me). We also had the calamari appetizer which I actually recommend more than the bacon! I can't believe tomorrow is Friday already!! Where does vacation time go? The kids did another stellar job of keeping up today! AK tomorrow. I hope to get moving early but I am not pushing it!!
