Phew! I had a lot of reading to do here! Namely, ALL of it.
Wow! There should definitely be some kind of medal for this. That's A LOT of trip reporting!
Yep, I hear you. Our December 2019 trip was the same.
I couldn't agree more! I haven't done Homecomin' yet. (I'm very interested to, though I feel like the stuff I'd want to eat there the most would be the stuff that doesn't work with my dietary restrictions.) But your other favourites are also some of my big faves!
This is a great ride pic!
Holy cow! Morgan is so grown up! Both the girls have grown so much since your earlier TRs.
Morgan and I have this in common.
And the purple hair is the part where I become more of a Gwen
Yum! Great idea!
Woohoo! Another great family pic! (Well, like 85% of a family pic, just missing half an Ariella! )
Holy smokes! That would be scary for people who were actually paying attention. Why would they do that and make people freaked out? Glad it was nothing.
When you buy the gifts, you get to make the rules! Gifts for mom =
100% Mickey just tastes better. For everything.
Uh oh, this doesn't sound good...
Oh no! So close! (Glad that I know you managed to get a boarding group later, but that still stinks.)
I love Morgan's spirit jersey! Nathan loves The Mandalorian.
You made good time!
Yeah, I hear you. It really does add a lot of extra time to your wait when you wait for B1. I always ask for the B section (though I don't actually care which row it is) because I find the sides make me motion sick when the screen gets distorted. But if I didn't have that issue I probably wouldn't wait either. Especially with kids.
These are so cute!
You guys did a great job with the drawing! I especially like Morgan's Mickey.
What a cool picture of the girls! And I get why the like the churros -- they look really cool.
Yum! This looks soo good!
I wish I was also eat in the room kinda people, but my problem is that I really love breakfast. So I'd be like those crazy people all going for breakfast at the resort in the morning to make sure I get my Mickey waffles and bacon and whatnot. But Nathan would probably be fine either way and would be just as happy to eat in the room most days and only get breakfast out once or twice. I'm thinking next time we go we'll probably try to do more breakfast in the room though to save some time and money.
For some reason Andy reminded me of Buzz Lightyear in this picture! I think because the round mirror looks like a helmet a little
For some reason I never really noticed until this picture JUST how much Gwen looks like you, and how Morgan looks a lot like Andy but also a bit like both of you.
This looks yum! I wonder if it's similar to the ones they sell in Epcot at the caramel place, though maybe without that caramel I guess. Nathan tried those on a recent trip and loooooved them.
I think this is one of the rooms where we did some of our wedding pictures. It was off to the side and I think the photographer said that they usually only used it when the line was a bit longer for the ride.
I love AK, but I do find that it usually feels the hottest to me of all the parks. I think it just kinda traps in the humidity or something, I don't know.
Mine too!
Those churros are soo good (I love that they're gluten free so I can also eat them!) But the strawberry sauce definitely has a kick to it so I'm not surprised they weren't a fan! I actually prefer to dip it in both sauces at once, because I find the vanilla helps to balance out the spiciness of the strawberry a little. But I don't know if that's a good recommendation for your girls since if they don't like it they could contaminate the vanilla with the spiciness and then they wouldn't have that one either! lol
Okay yeah, this is actually very cute. I see why you let Gwen get this one
Ahahah their reaction to the mustard is hilarious! Gwen's face gets me! I totally get that though. Nathan makes fun of me because even as an adult I'm not a fan of a lot of condiments, and I'd still have to force myself to eat the mustard and would probably look a little like Gwen.
This is my 11th Trip Report! I don't know how that is possible!
Wow! There should definitely be some kind of medal for this. That's A LOT of trip reporting!
as we knew that was the last trip for awhile. We just didn't realize HOW long.
Yep, I hear you. Our December 2019 trip was the same.
Everytime I do one of these intros, I realize how few pictures there of me by myself and the ones that are by myself, I seem to have an adult beverage in my hand...
As of today, I would say: Sanaa and Homecomin'
I still love BOMA and Skipper Canteen but Bread Service and Moonshine Mash take the win!
I couldn't agree more! I haven't done Homecomin' yet. (I'm very interested to, though I feel like the stuff I'd want to eat there the most would be the stuff that doesn't work with my dietary restrictions.) But your other favourites are also some of my big faves!
This is a great ride pic!
Morgan is now 12, going on 13 May 3rd! So, practically a teen!
Holy cow! Morgan is so grown up! Both the girls have grown so much since your earlier TRs.
This whole pandemic has really worked for her and her hermit lifestyle.
Morgan and I have this in common.
I always say that Gwen is our wild child. But I think she has mellowed a bit. (minus the desire for purple hair!)
And the purple hair is the part where I become more of a Gwen
Untitled
We made homemade waffles and put nutella and fresh fruit as a nod to one of our favorite snacks in MK.
Yum! Great idea!
One our Way!
By 3:11, we were on our way to the airport!
Woohoo! Another great family pic! (Well, like 85% of a family pic, just missing half an Ariella! )
As we were headed back, we got stopped at an intersection by a bunch of airport security and airport workers. And I got this pit in my stomach. They were asking everyone to stand still exactly where they were. I was seriously internally freaking out thinking it was some sort of bomb threat or something!
But THANKFULLY, it was a drill of some sort and 30 seconds later they let everyone go about there business.
Holy smokes! That would be scary for people who were actually paying attention. Why would they do that and make people freaked out? Glad it was nothing.
Gwen got the Marie night gown, Morgan got the Leopard Mickey Print Pj bottoms' and the other pair was for me! (yes... sometimes I buy myself tinker bell gifts!)
When you buy the gifts, you get to make the rules! Gifts for mom =
The last time we were here at French Quarter, the beignets were just square... I don't know about you, but they taste better in mickey shape!
100% Mickey just tastes better. For everything.
Day One: A Morning Fail
Uh oh, this doesn't sound good...
But we entered Hollywood Studios JUST after 8:00, like 8:02..
And all boarding groups were gone already. They already had a sandwich board out saying they were all gone.
Oh no! So close! (Glad that I know you managed to get a boarding group later, but that still stinks.)
Morgan & Me New Star Wars duds
I love Morgan's spirit jersey! Nathan loves The Mandalorian.
We made it to the World Showcase Entrance around 10:15.
You made good time!
And it took FOREVER!!!! If you have to wait on the side, it really ads along of time.
I do love Soarin, but I am not sure I will insist on B1 next trip.
Yeah, I hear you. It really does add a lot of extra time to your wait when you wait for B1. I always ask for the B section (though I don't actually care which row it is) because I find the sides make me motion sick when the screen gets distorted.

Painter Churros
But I do have this picture of 2 very happy girls. I will say, that I don't think these are the best churros. But I think the girls just love the presentation and all.
What a cool picture of the girls! And I get why the like the churros -- they look really cool.
XXXXX
A given for this dinner was Guacamole!
Guacamole
Which I was super happy came with the Chicharrones!
Yum! This looks soo good!
There was lots of folks getting breakfast. Which I just never got. We have always been eat in the room kind of family.
I wish I was also eat in the room kinda people, but my problem is that I really love breakfast. So I'd be like those crazy people all going for breakfast at the resort in the morning to make sure I get my Mickey waffles and bacon and whatnot.

Andy in Mirror
No idea why Andy took this picture. I guess he had never noticed the makeup mirrors before?!?!
For some reason Andy reminded me of Buzz Lightyear in this picture! I think because the round mirror looks like a helmet a little
For some reason I never really noticed until this picture JUST how much Gwen looks like you, and how Morgan looks a lot like Andy but also a bit like both of you.
Chocolate Covered Pineapple Spears
We took them outside and dug in. And OMG!!! These are soooo good!!! The pineapple was fresh and SUPER juicy. We shared the 2 spears and all gave them thumbs up!
This looks yum! I wonder if it's similar to the ones they sell in Epcot at the caramel place, though maybe without that caramel I guess. Nathan tried those on a recent trip and loooooved them.
I think this is one of the rooms where we did some of our wedding pictures. It was off to the side and I think the photographer said that they usually only used it when the line was a bit longer for the ride.
I have a love/hate relationship with AK. I love the feel of the park and it has some great rides and food. But it somehow always ends up being our meh day. I don't know why? Maybe because the park is so hot?
I love AK, but I do find that it usually feels the hottest to me of all the parks. I think it just kinda traps in the humidity or something, I don't know.
Giraffes
We got some good views of the elephants and giraffes. My favorite animals!
Mine too!
The girls enjoyed the churros. I think we let them eat them.. The strawberry sauce def had a kick to it. The girls didn’t like the strawberry because of that. But they were fine with the vanilla crema and just plain!

Big Footie Ewok
Gwen found her dream Big Footie!!! A Big Footie Ewok!
Okay yeah, this is actually very cute. I see why you let Gwen get this one
The girls are not big into contiments and they both decided to try the mustard today.
Yum Mustard
It was a big NO from them both.
Ahahah their reaction to the mustard is hilarious! Gwen's face gets me! I totally get that though. Nathan makes fun of me because even as an adult I'm not a fan of a lot of condiments, and I'd still have to force myself to eat the mustard and would probably look a little like Gwen.
