The ticket prices are crazy. It has always been a significant cost, but it used to be less than that for a lot more days. Oh well, we don’t have much choice about it. I’m glad people don’t think we are crazy for still wanting to park hop, or at least have the option of doing it. I still...

So we are at 53 days to go and about all that's left to deal with are park tickets. I have been waiting to see if any particular deal pops up, but am pretty much resigned to ordering the 4 day park hoppers from Undercover Tourist. Sounds good to me. But... They came out with the 4 Park...

There is plenty of discussion about the resort refillable mugs elsewhere, but yes, we do buy them and feel we get our money’s worth out of them with multiple soda refills each day. We no longer buy the DDP, but still love our mugs. They will work at other resorts as well if you choose to...

Yes we are very excited. While I expected SciFi might be hard (since it has been in the past) I was really hoping for Homecomin brunch and was more worried about not getting that. That will be a great day, and getting to top it off with a Fireworks cruise will be really nice. It will be...

This morning I got up at 2:45 to make our ADRs, and after a brief delay to add our confirmation number to our MDE account I had pretty darn good success. So? You didn’t tell me if you got everything? You were asleep. You always wake me up. We did pretty well, Homecommin at 10am, and...

We're at 75 days to go, and we're all looking forward to the trip. Naturally we have been collecting items for the trip, so we'll share some of our favorite recent aquisitions. After last trip we decided to retire one of our tried and true suitcases. I think it’s been on every Disney trip...

I have tried adding MB+ bands with no luck. It likely is the not having tickets issues. It looks like it should work, but no luck yet. We will try again once we have tickets. We do feel like we have borrowed it doe. To a great set. We’ll see how Space 220 does and if it can hold a spot in...

Yeah, we will see what we can get. We had a number of years with no SciFi availability, so Woody's could slide right in to a spot. Yes, they are definitely a Chicago thing. It was funny driving the rental Jeep with Illinois plates to Portillos last trip and meeting folks who wondered what...

We've still got some time before we make ADRs, but I figure it is time to talk about one of the biggest parts of the trip for us, the food. We’re planning on revisiting some favorites but then also trying something new. Now I've gotta start by saying that I really feel last trip was one of our...

We have never really even seriously considered First Class. It is something Melissa has dreamed of and really wanted to do if the opportunity came up, and this just seemed to be a chance to do it for not too much extra. Marshall will probably start in the middle with one of us, but I bet he...

My friends do we have an update for you. Lol yes we do, it has been quite a day in the planning of our trip. We had been hoping for a Sunday rate drop as we have been shopping for airfare, and we didn't like the way prices were going so we wanted to get something locked in. When I say we...

Tell me about it... It really is all a gamble. Southwest looked pretty good, but we got swayed to go a different direction. Either way they are fun. She does, and she is so active in the trip planning now and knows exactly what she wants. I guess she has done it almost all her life. I had...

Hello everyone. The clock is counting down, so we figured we better look at airfare. When we checked a few weeks ago it was about $1700 round trip for our flights from San Diego like we did last year. Over the weekend the price went up a bit, and then now those same flights are up to over...

Yeah, it is "home" and fun to pop into, but we do love our longer WDW trips. I thought it would be neat to show since it is so different from WDW. You can simply walk from park to park. It's very different here. Fortunately it is right next to Downtown Disney too, and even has its own...

Yesterday we returned to Downtown Disney for the first time as a family since before COVID. For somewhere we used to go very frequently, it was pretty interesting to go back after so long away. It was Allies idea and it was fun! It was neat to see the few changes that they’ve made but in...

Thanks for joining in. We will have more trip details and planning too, plus this weekend’s visit to Downtown Disney. Sounds good. It is a nice time of year and hopefully you get a nice sample of what Disney has to offer in CA. Welcome and thanks for joining in. We have always loved the...

Jon and Brandy did stay at WL, in a Copper Creek room since it is their favorite as well. For this weekend, we decided to do Naples, the Italian restaurant. It was a close race with Tortilla Jo’s which we have enjoyed before, but since Tortilla Jo’s is closing next month we figured we would...

Today's our double digit day! The trip is getting close, and it feels like we just started the PTR. (Well probably because we did..) It does feel really close! With the ADR dates being shorter the planning happens closer to the trip. So we have some important things to cover in this update...

Sounds like a fun trip, but a scheduling challenge as well. I have thought about how difficult it would be to schedule a trip where people are there for different portions of it. In the future we may do that with Jon and Brandy and maybe my parents. It will be a challenge but worth it. It...

Welcome back, you’re the first to join in. Yes, we are glad to finally be posting plans. The kids are getting way too big, we just keep feeding them and they keep eating more. At least they both love Disney! That’s great. You know how much we love it there. Yeah, it’s funny how many Jeep...
