Pre-Trip We're going back home to Walt Disney World!

Hey folks! Hubs and I are headed back to Walt Disney World. It has been 535 days since our last trip to WDW (not that I counted our anything). But we weren't Disney free we were annual passholders for Disneyland last year which was great. WDW is "home" though so we are excited to be headed back.

So let's start with some details....
Who: Me (Amy) and hubs (Brad)

Where: Pop Century
When: March 5-14

So today was our fast pass day and I faithfully got up early to get my fast passes. I have become a huge fan of Disneyland's Maxpass system so getting into the groove of this fast pass 60 days in advance thing is a little tough. Well, I logged into my computer made two fast passes and then boom...I was logged out. Tried to get in and it wouldn't recognize my password. It kept saying it was the wrong password.....ummm no it wasn't. So I grabbed my phone and luckily I could still make my fast passes and right after I finished getting the fp's and taking screen shots...boom! Logged out and couldn't get back in. Hubs couldn't get in either, so I realized it wasn't me but probably something on Disney's end. I figured I was lucky to get my fp's and I was thankful I thought to take screen shots of them. Well, apparently there was a problem on Disney's end as I read about on another site later. Whew, glad I got in when I did!

We do have some fun stuff planned. Brad is a huge Star Wars fan and is really looking forward to Rise of the Resistance and making his light saber. He saved that experience for WDW and chose to make his droids in Disneyland. I'm really looking forward to becoming a regular at the Baseline Taphouse again, haha! We also have Villains event, Frozen dessert party, and Rose & Crown dining package booked for Epcot Forever.

Anyway, I'll share more plans later. But I'm very curious if any other WDW magicians will be there during that time, it would be fun to have a magical meetup!

I'm glad you enjoyed the DL adventures, it would have been fun to have similar dates you two Goofs seem to have a lot of fun too. But perhaps our dates will match up sometime, we have a late June/July 4th trip planned a are 90% sure we are going over Thanksgiving too.

Well, normally we’d have a chance at overlapping summer dates. This year we’re going to California for our long vacation in July, and doing 3 shorter trips to Disney World in February, either September or October, and likely the first week in December. You can take some of the blame for us finally deciding to head west!

I'm still trying to get the boys to nail down their time off from work before I can start booking stuff. We might try the new Riviera if I can get a decent package w/ Costco, or I might leave the decision up to Tristen since it's his birthday trip...within reason of course. ;)

I'll be happy to take the blame for you heading west! I hope you have fun. Where in California will you be exploring?

Brad and I thought about the Riviera, it looks nice and the food reviews have been good. We are planning to walk around it a bit in March. I was thinking it would have been a birthday trip for you since you are going in April.

YES! This magician will be in the world as from the 30th of June 2020 until the 12th of July!:inlove::inlove::inlove: Any overlapping dates??

YES!!!!! We have a match of overlapping dates in June and July! We are there the 21st of June through July 5th. Surely we should be able to pick one of those days to meet up if you'd like. We are pretty loose in our schedule since we have a lot of days. :)

Plans are to fly into the Bay Area for a few days, then on to Yosemite, then down to Southern California for a few days before flying back home. Rooms at Yosemite and grand Californian are booked. Still hunting for just the right deal in San Fran!

i can’t remember your dates, but if the summertime don’t forget what Mark Twain is attributed to saying about San Fran: « the coldest winter I ever saw was a summer in San Francisco » 😉

Oh that would be so nice! Once the Fastpass deadlines have passed, I can give you some more info on the whereabouts! Maybe will do a PTR/TR. We'll see :)

Aww shucks! Our flight leaves late on the 14th, probably getting the Tragical around 5-6pm.



Bummer about missing each other....again! One of these days we'll meet up. Where are you staying this time?



It would have been nice if our dates overlapped. I wish we could get there on the 4th, but Hubs has church Wednesday night otherwise we might have left a day early. I'm glad you got the fp's you wanted. I'm hoping the crowds might be lower as many spring breaks might not have started yet. Although there will be the opening of Mickey's Runaway Railway and the start of Flower and Garden so that might pull in some crowds.



Well, at least we both will be having Disney fun at the same time! :) I know how you feel though, last year with all the Disneyland trips it was tough at first to not plan so much, but in a way it was a little freeing. It is now strange to get back into a super planning mode.

Looking forward to living vicariously through you! ;)
