We woke up on Friday December 10th to the most beautiful view of Cinderella's castle. Once we were up and dressed, we finished packing and headed off to our 8:15 breakfast reservation. We had previously tried to get a breakfast reservation for Chef Mickey's on this morning but were...

Hello friends! I can't believe it's almost Christmas! We left off with my mom, dad, and I surprising DD with our room at the Contemporary with the most perfect view of Magic Kingdom. My dad called down to bell services to see if our luggage had made the trip over from Saratoga Springs yet...

As some of you know, one of my bucket list items is to stay at each and every WDW resort at least once. When my dad called me one day to ask if I would mind another resort change for our last night if that resort was the Contemporary, I didn't hesitate to agree. He had been able to find a great...

Welcome back! Thursday December 9th was another early morning. We got up, packed our stuff and my mom and I headed to the bus stop. My dad stayed in our room with our luggage to await bell services. He planned to catch the next bus and meet us at MK. By this point, DD knew we were changing...

We left off with us leaving Hollywood Studios on Wednesday December 8th feeling as though we had accomplished everything that we had wanted to accomplish in that park on this trip. Now we were off in search of lunch. We had been unable to secure the dining reservation that we had wanted for...

That brings us to Wednesday December 8th. This was another one of those early mornings. Prior to this trip we were really hoping that BBB would be back. DD had been able to do it a couple of years ago before COVID and she really enjoyed it, so we were hoping to do it again on this trip. About...

Okay friends, we left off with my mom, my dad, DD, and I arriving to our room at Saratoga Springs. Ryne, Kyle, and Kimberlyn flew home on this day. After we unpacked and threw our evening clothes in the dryer, we rested for about 45 minutes before it was time to get ready for our exciting night...

That brings us to Tuesday December 7th. We got to sleep in a little bit today. Breakfast was at 7:45am at Olivia's which, for those who don't know, is located at Old Key West. My dad had called Bell Services to have them come pick us up at 7:30am as Ryne, Kyle, and Kimberlyn were flying home on...

My last post left off with us taking a short rest break at the resort before heading out to MK for the rest of the day. Ryne and Kimberlyn went to MK early because she was on a mission to purchase a few items for family members and wanted some time to look through the stores. They only left...

After a late-night Sunday night, one would think we would want to sleep in on Monday. Well, we don't get much sleep on vacation. Our park reservation for Monday morning was Animal Kingdom, which was set to open at 8am; however, since we were resort guests, we could get in at 7:30am. We left our...

We left off with the whole crew giving up on Genie + and heading back to the resort to rest a little. We were only back for about an hour and a half before we set off on our next adventure. DD was able to catch a much needed 45-minute nap. We wanted Kyle and Kimberlyn to get the experience of...

Let's get started with our first park day, Sunday December 5th. Alarms went off pretty early and we enjoyed a quick breakfast of donuts in the room. We had a park reservation for Hollywood Studios on this day. The park opened at 9am so we were able to get in at 8:30am. We left the room at...

For my last post, I forgot to include a picture of some cool people that we found at Disney Springs while we were walking to dinner. A couple nights later, the same people were on roller skates instead of stilts.

We left off with my parents, my daughter, and I arriving to our villa at Old Key West. After we took the obligatory pictures and I did my room tour video, we called bell services to have our luggage and groceries delivered to the room. My heart went out to the bell services guy as we had 9...

Old Key West Room Review: Building 34 (Old Turtle Pond Road), room 3433, dedicated 2-bedroom villa Old Key West is a go-to resort of ours. We just love the design and the laid-back atmosphere. We prefer the turtle pond road section because it is set back from all of the hustle and bustle of...

Continuation of day 2.... We left off with the whole crew on DME headed to these glorious gates.... Once we arrived at OKW, we checked our bags with bell services as it was only 9:30 am. Then we browsed the store and ended up with a few snacks. We enjoyed the snacks and checked out the...

Let's get to the good part of the trip! Our alarms went off bright and early Saturday morning, 3:15 am to be exact. Our flight was at 6:05am and we had plans to leave our hotel at 4am. We were only about 10 minutes from the airport. Some would think that it would be difficult to get a 5-year-old...

Welcome back friends! Let's jump right in with what I consider to be day one of the trip, Friday December 3rd. My dad had to work for a few hours that morning, but the rest of the adults were lucky enough to have the day off. After I put DD on the school bus at 7:45am, I hit the ground running...
