    November 29 continued... We went to several stores to look around. We also went in Goofy's Candy Company to get some last goodies to go. Our family really loves their gummies, so we bought some and also this delicious apple to eat at home. We were really ready for lunch which did not help...

    Sunday, November 29- Disney Springs We slept in a little, packed up, and we headed to Disney Springs at opening. This was my husband's and I's actual 17 year anniversary, so we wore our buttons again and had reservations for the delicious Homecomin'. The screening lines moved fast. We headed...

    Thanks! My mom had a blast with all of her grandchildren! This was the first Night of a Million Lights. They were looking for a way to fundraise so they could be prepared for when they can open again to all of the Make a Wish Kids. It was a very happy time that we could enjoy it, but it was sad...

    Night of a Million Lights continued... The kids were also excited to ride the rides there. Give Kids the World Village was so nice, and I'm really glad we got to experience it. We went to our room for a late night swim and our last night of our trip.

    November 28 continued... Night of A Million Lights I was so excited for this! My mom used the money she had spent for the tea party to buy these tickets. I was very sad that the houses were unable to be filled with Make a Wish kids but excited to be able to visit the village and see it lit up...

    Saturday, November 28- Night of a Million Lights- We slept in and went for a swim. They love to swim, so that was their only requirement for our new hotel. We then picked up some lunch at Steak and Shake which was right next door. We swam some more and got ready. We were headed to Pop...

    November 27 continued... We then made our way back to Future World and Test Track. I don't miss making cars because I never had much fun doing that. I have never ridden Figment either. The last time we were there during Spring Break the line was too long. Before that I had just never done...

    November 27 continued... It was all very delicious! Our table got our food first by a while, so instead of dessert, I got a Starbucks coffee next door. While we waited on them, we also took in the environment. It was the first day of the Festival of the Holidays, and the kids were super...

    November27 continued... We did hang out in Norway a while before heading over to Spaceship Earth. I had never tried school bread, so we made it happen. We all kind of liked it. The custard was good, but the actual pastry had an unusual aftertaste to me. There is a spice that I was not too fond...

    Friday, November 27- Kona and Epcot- We got ready, packed up, and we headed to the Polynesian. I really like these cabins! We always go to 'Ohana's on our trip for dinner. We love their food. My youngest daughter could eat all of the shrimp, and I always save room for the delicious bread...

    November 26 continued... Everyone enjoyed all of Pandora. When we were done with both rides, it was dark. This was our first time seeing it in the dark. It was so pretty! We then headed to Expedition Everest, and I called IHG. They were absolutely no help, and I wasted my time talking to...

    We all have been very healthy since returning. 4 of us should still have antibodies, so it made it less stressful. My daughter piked it up from school in the end of September. She had symptoms so mild that she would have gone to school pre Covid, but we wanted to verify it was just allergies to...

    We love the Photopass people and pictures! I was very surprised when we couldn't see the castle. The last shot where you can see the castle was taken with my daughter's GoPro since the park had already closed.

    November 25 continued... We then went on our favorite Carousal of Progress. There is a great big beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of everyday. This ride was one my dad enjoyed when we went on our one trip when I was nine in 1989. Hollywood Studios had just opened. I was sad the People...

    November 25 continued... We then excitedly went to our Be Our Guest 4 pm (5 and 5) reservations. This was the only time available. We originally had pre park opening reservations for breakfast. We also had a fireworks party planned for Happily Ever After. Dinner here was pretty much our...

    November 25 continued... It was very odd to see the Rivers of America empty. The Haunted Mansion on ride photos are not at a very good place. Splash's is much better. The only one worse is Pirate's. I then bought a coffee mug, and we took a pic before heading over to It's a Small...

    November 24 continued- The pre-ride areas also seemed very strange since they were now not holding groups anywhere for long at all with no time to look around or pictures. Our next stop was Toy Story Mania which is always fun. We do miss Mr. Potato Head actually talking to people, though...
