Thank you. I never expected a simple request to become such a racket! Thank goodness there was still availability so a snafu didn’t become a disaster! Thank you! I love hearing that other people also speculate about menus and plans before their trips - it’s nice that it’s not just me...

I’m also a huge split-stay fan and have done them my last three trips (including our upcoming one). I think nostalgia was the right choice and I’m sure you’ll love your stay at Pop. It’s a great resort and I’ve always enjoyed my stays there. And HOORAY for the great deal at the Poly! Renting...

Your summer trip sounds like so much fun! Yes, it will be hot, but all the more reason to aim for the air conditioned attractions. :goodvibes And yes, you can’t pass up a free stay! Plus, I’m sure the boys will LOVE staying in a Cars suite! That section (and really, all) of AoA is awesome!

Day 1 Plans Thursday, May 23rd Time to jump into the daily plans! Today’s Highlights Travel to Orlando Check-in to Polynesian Villas Resort Time ADR Dinner – Chef Mickey’s Our travel day will begin bright and early as we have a very early flight. :faint: My husband and I will wake up before...

Where did our ADR go?! a.k.a. Trip Updates and Frustrations We’re getting so close… just 16 days to go! :woohoo: The fact that we only have five characters left on the countdown chain after today blows my mind. I thought I would include a general trip update to help unload my mental...

M will definitely ride it as long as she’s over the height requirement. She has no qualms about this ride as she does about the roller coasters. That’s wonderful to hear! The land looks so beautiful in pictures I was hopeful it would be nice to experience even without seeing the movies. So...

Yes, I saw that path highlighted on your trip report! I swear I’ve seen the sign before (?) but I’m not sure if I’ve been on the trail. I love seeing the details on the Tree of Life so it’s a great idea! How have I never heard of this snack?! It looks incredible! (I need more stomach room...

WHAT?! Oh my goodness, I LOVED your mom’s trip reports and I absolutely remember them and your family! How are you old enough to be graduating from high school?! Congratulation on your upcoming graduation, Julia, and all the exciting things to come. I’m so excited to hear about your plans...

Eek, just two weeks to go! You’re so close! My goodness, your clothes are already packed?! I’m impressed! I’m sure with your Target run and Amazon order your toiletries will come together quickly - and yes, I also do THE Target run for vacations. I wanted to mention that if you spot us at...

Congratulations and happy birthday to Morgan!

The skyliner line can be nuts in the morning! Also, it seems you have an hour-ish wait for Remy no matter when you ride - you just spend more of it waiting for the park to open than inside the queue if you’re there early for early entry. I’m sorry Remy didn’t work out but I’m glad Test Track’s...

Haley did a great job - I have a very similar lineup! :goodvibes I hadn’t thought of individual carabiner clips for our water bottles! I may need to steal that one. ;) The snack container is also SUPER cute! Also, good for you on your packing progress! I’m an excellent last-minute packer, but...

Hi Katie! I’m excited to join in on your planning. I’ve always picked very early flights for Disney World (more Disney time!) but perhaps arriving on the 28th would be better as you’ll be ready to go with a full day on the 1st. However, you know your family best and perhaps you’d prefer an...

YES. We’re braving a 6:30am flight with young children for exactly that reason. Our alternative on our preferred airline would’ve gotten us there after 4:00pm which is unacceptable. Oh goodness. :rotfl: Kids’ schedules are nuts! I’m sure you would’ve delivered anyway, but a great Mother’s Day...

Those wait times are crazy! I know the lines at HS get long but 30 minutes for Star Tours (?!) is nuts. I’m right there with you on waiting in line… I’m not good at it. :laughing: It doesn’t help that I’ve become very good at avoiding long lines at most amusement parks including Disney World - I...

I’ll be interested to hear your take on Jollywood Nights! The reviews seem mixed to terrible, but you tend to roll with things pretty well so hopefully you found some things to enjoy. I’m glad you managed to retrieve your view from that oblivious (?) family - good for you!

You had an excellent day at Animal Kingdom! I’ve really grown to love Animal Kingdom (and I agree - Joe Rohde is a genius!). I love that your daughter loved Everest! It’s one of my top Disney rides. My daughter really wants to try it to see the yeti but is also a little afraid of roller...

Animal Kingdom Must-Dos a.k.a. Can we fit two shows into one day? Animal Kingdom has grown on me over my last few trips. I’ve always enjoyed it (the safari! Everest!) but it wasn't initially my favorite park. However, I spent two days there during my last two trips and loved every minute...

I’ve really grown to love Animal Kingdom. It has such a peaceful atmosphere and there are always things to explore and discover. Awww, look at that baby elephant! And the little gorillas! Just adorable. You had such a great end to your day between the safari, AK wandering, and dinner at Nomad...

We’re having so much fun with the countdown chain! We’ll need to do it again for future trips. I’m so happy I found earlier reservations! It will work out so much better for us, particularly for the dessert party. I know the reserved section will be more crowded if we eat desserts first, but...
