    Who says Disney is just for the kids?! An adults trip (with a little bit of work sprinkled in) - February 2024

    What a great trip overall! I haven't done Gideon's yet. Maybe this trip (although I am cake focused for my birthday so probably my fluffy butt doesn't need cookies too.) Oh, and I MUST do the make your own popcorn at MK. Now, tell me why you all didn't love FlameTree. Because that place is...

    Who says Disney is just for the kids?! An adults trip (with a little bit of work sprinkled in) - February 2024

    When you are old and in Disney - you take your pain killers with anything that is handy. But alcohol is the best!!! What an amazing day at EPCOT, although that last wait for Guardians was a bit much. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your knees after you got back?

    Advice/Things to Know for an Art of Animation Stay?

    The Little Mermaid rooms are the farthest point in the resort from the Skyliner and the lobby/food/etc. If that's where you are staying, plan for a longer walk in the am to the Skyliner. I've only stayed in a Cars Suite there but it was a good vibe. I prefer Pop myself so that's where I...

    Mega-Con? Mega People! Mom and Daughter travel again! 1/30-2/5/24. New 3/25**

    Andi, Andi, Andi - we ALWAYS get the ice cream unless we are trading ice cream for a yummy drink. Oh these young ones. We have so much to teach them. And sorry about the snow. I spoke with my parents in MN on Sunday and they were ready for the storm. It sounds like you all are getting a lot...

    Who says Disney is just for the kids?! An adults trip (with a little bit of work sprinkled in) - February 2024

    I can't believe I just found this. I love your reports. And I'm caught up so hopefully, I won't spend an hour reading again (a well-spent hour but I SHOULD have been grading.) I'm so sorry about your knees. I am off to the World in 2 weeks and both of my knees are bothering me from various...

    Will I ever actually get there??? A first-time trip to WDW (3/10 - 3/16 2024)

    I'm so sorry about your delays. You would think that Southwest would get their act together after last Christmas. I fly them all the time but, if I can drive it, I now drive instead of fly. I'm headed to Disney in 2 weeks for a wedding and my birthday. It's a 10.5 hour drive but I'd rather...

    There's Always Too Much Sauce - A July 2022 TR *Updated 3/23

    I'm so glad you had such a great visit with your mom and made those memories. And everything you said about Disney applies to so many of us (although minus the kids for me.) I'm sitting here right now with the final countdown to my trip for my friend's wedding and my birthday. And I'm hearing...

    I love the after hours events. I have only done the villains one pre-shut down but I would do one again in a heartbeat (if I have the extra money.) Also - I love your fuzzy grey jacket. I have that one as well and LOVE to wear it.

    Will I ever actually get there??? A first-time trip to WDW (3/10 - 3/16 2024)

    I love experiencing someone's first trip to Disney. Following along. Can't wait to hear more. And POFQ is one of my favorite resorts. Pop is my favorite value, POFQ favorite moderate, and Old Key West is my favorite DVC.

    You Get a Suite! You Get a Suite! Everybody Gets a Suite! December 2023 Trip Report! (RL Update 3/28!)

    It's the CMs like the one you had at the Grand who are truly the magic of Disney. I love interacting with them whenever possible, especially the College Program kids. Not only are they super excited to be there, a lot of them are truly far away from home and friends for the first time. I...

    Ugh. Covid. What a bummer. I hope you feel better soon! If it helps at all, it sounds like the CDC has changed the quarantine protocol yet again and even with a positive diagnosis, you don't HAVE to isolate. It's been all the talk on the Production Manager's forum as theatres try to figure...

    You Get a Suite! You Get a Suite! Everybody Gets a Suite! December 2023 Trip Report! (RL Update 3/28!)

    Petals is the pool bar at Pop Century. And it has AMAZING frozen drinks. The Pina Colava is a Pina Colada with raspberry syrup. I always get a drink or 7 from there when I stay at Pop. The great thing is, they are open until like 11pm so I can swing by and get one to take to my room on the...

    Wait - talk to me about this Pina colada. It didn't look like the "normal" frozen kind. I'm intrigued. And also counting the days until I get a Pina Colava from Petals!

    This might be weird, but I LOVE the powdered eggs at Disney. I'm looking forward to them!

    Yay AP!! And you are doing that Disney math correctly. You simply MUST take more trips. You are, quite frankly, losing money if you don't.

    Dis Friends are the best friends! A perfect trip in so many ways even without a ride on Dinosaur!12/7-12/11 Christmas Trip

    I go back and forth about wanting to try Gideon's cookies. Caroline's love for them might sway me. But goodness I want some cake. I've been craving cake for weeks. Maybe in April (although I KNOW I am getting the chocolate cake at Steakhouse 71.)

    There's Always Too Much Sauce - A July 2022 TR *Updated 3/23

    You know, we might be the same person - need a cheeseburger after a run and now, need a nap after the long run. I remember after the half, all I wanted to do was crawl back in bed and sleep. Of course, I regretted that later in the evening when I couldn't move so well because I didn't stretch...

    I'm with you. I really, really miss those extra hours evenings. I always preferred them to the early morning hours. There is nothing like being in the park at 1 or 2am. Once upon a time, I tried to do the 24 hour day at MK. It was a trip I took my niece on. We made it until about 3am and...
