Anyone who has read my prior trip reports knows that I describe my 3 year old as pretty timid/cautious/the opposite of a little wild man, but he did a full 180 this trip and totally surprised me !! I’m so proud of my brave little boy and I can’t get over it! You’ll recall that [...]
Ah the million dollar question.... or at least the $750 question in our case.... Our son does NOT have a park pass on this trip. I am not one for flagrant rule breaking by any means. I’m absolutely a major proponent of getting any and all discounts that you can find, but by no means [...]
Whew, best day ever in Hollywood Studios yesterday. I’ll try to write a whole recap later, but we rode all the Toy Story Land rides (Saucers x4, TSM x2), Mickey and Minnies Runaway Railway, Lightning McQueen, Muppets, Star Tours (Not me, I pretty nearly die on that one), Smugglers Run (also not me for fear [...]
One quick interesting thing to note when making dining reservations these days.... it would appear you have some leeway to play around with your party size a little bit if it helps you grab the reservation you are looking for. I noticed yesterday when checking into our reservation at Topolinos that we had the option [...]
During our week in WDW we had quite a few Santa sightings, which I figured I’d share in case anyone is on their way and wondering about Christmas theming, or anyone is depressed at home during a pandemic and just needs to see a Disney World Santa cruising the parks in a sweet ride. They [...]
Holy moly, mind blown by the one bedroom villa we just checked out of at Bay Lake Tower. I am a Boardwalk Villas loyalist through and through, with a little wiggle room for some Beach Club love here and there, so I always go into stays at other resorts with the bar set really high [...]
Ah those good old days of the smoothest travel days ever back when we took our summer trips this year. I knew I jinxed it a bit. Nothing terribly awful as far as normal air travel goes, but definitely crowds and lines all throughout Newark airport. Everything was moving swiftly though. Similar to in Disney, [...]
For those who were following my post linked below and had similar issues with challenging advanced dining reservations, particularly at character dining restaurants, I have an update now that our trip has arrived. https://jilteddisneybride.com/2020/10/07/disney-dining-frustrations/ Similar to many others, we were able to suddenly get all the remaining reservations we were looking for on a certain [...]
Edited subsequent to our most recent trip with our 3.5 year old: our son is getting braver! He actually loved a lot of height restricted rides this trip. Refer to the post below for more details on which ones were great intro big kid rides. https://jilteddisneybride.com/2020/12/23/big-kid-rides/ As someone who previously travelled to Disney World every [...]
Just checked in with someone renting our DVC points to stay at Boulder Ridge for the past few days, and they were upgraded from a studio to a one bedroom! Lucky ducks. For those of you not following my much less fortunate life, I’ve never been upgraded since my family joined DVC in 1996. I [...]
