lol. I struggled with planning because I wanted to make sure we had enough downtime and weren’t running constantly. I feel like September still has lower crowds than most other times, but I think it’s a lot busier than it used to be. I hope you have a great time!

Thanks! I’ve packed Eleanor Oliphant in my carryon to read on the plane. I’m looking forward to it!

One more post about the May trip, and then I promise to get back to September! I bought our annual passes since my last update! Saved $150 by using my Target RedCard to purchase Disney gift cards and then used the gifts cards to pay for the passes. Annoying notes about this, you can only buy...

I’ve been putting off an update because I did a thing last week. Ya’ll know where this is going, don’t you? Here’s the wordy explanation anyway. Because of Doug’s work, he has to schedule his vacation time in November of the year before, so we’ve had a trip planned for May 2024 for 6 months...

Plans Day 2 - 9/6 For the second day of our trip, we plan to rope drop Magic Kingdom. I’m hoping for low crowds as this should be a MNSSHP night. We’ve done the party several times in the past, but we plan to skip it this year. I’ll expect we’ll hit as many rides as possible this day. I don’t...

Welcome! I’m so glad not to have to move! It just makes everything easier!

I really miss making ADRs at the 180-day mark. It made the trip feel closer and like you were actively doing something to prepare for it. Right now, I just feel like I’m waiting. And waiting. And still waiting. We’ve made 20+ trips to WDW over the years. I only went once as a child when I was...

I tried for three weeks! Vacation never feels long enough, but I couldn't convince Doug to make that leap. He doesn't have quite enough vacation time left this year to make it work. Thanks!

Welcome to my very first pre-trip report! :welcome:I once started a trip report a few years back, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t quite finish it. I am going to try to follow through this time with both a pre-trip report and an actual trip report. I hope you’ll stick with me! I need an outlet for...

PM sent.

I’m looking to book 10/29 to 11/2 in a standard studio at SSR which is 58 points. Will PM you.

I have baby fine, thin, soft, straight hair. I find my hair is out of whack for a couple of weeks after a trip even after bringing and using my own hair products from home while in WDW. I think it is a combination of Florida water (shower not pool as I don’t get my hair wet in pool), possibly...

I had booked a reservation through Priceline for CBR for a stay next week. This was back in March. I paid in full up front but the reservation was refundable if cancelled. We decided to add a night to our stay, and when pricing this out, we decided to change our stay to CSR and book directly...

Day Eight – MK After Dark We slept in this day and eventually had lunch at the food court. Doug and I both went with bacon cheeseburgers. He got regular fries while I went with the sweet potato fries. I think G went to the food court before Doug and I did to catch the tail end of breakfast...

Day Seven – Adults Night Out! Doug and I were up around 9:00 on this day. We headed to the laundry room by the Piano Pool and dropped off a couple of loads in the washer. We headed to the food court for breakfast and went with the usual – Mickey waffles for me and a bounty platter for him...

Super excited to hear all about it!

I want to share a quick photo from this past weekend before continuing. Gwendolyn went to her Junior Prom on Saturday night. Now on with the report! Day Six – Flowers and Gardens Doug and I made our way to Epcot this morning and arrived right around 11:00. I think G was about 30 minutes...

Day Five, Animal Kingdom - Do we have to? Yeah, we opted to sleep in. We arrived at AK before 10. Once there, we headed to the first FOTLK showing of the day. We were early enough to the theatre that no CMs were around and the queue was still closed. I had a bit of a duh moment and...

Thanks! Glad to have you along.

We had a 12:45 brunch reservation at California Grill this day. We slept in this morning, and then took a bus to MK around 11:30. It was a beautiful walk over to the Contemporary. We strolled around a bit and checked in for our ADR around 12:30. We were taken upstairs and seated immediately...
