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 [...]
Well, this is pathetic, but this is what the Disney excitement in our lives has come to at this point in 2020.... My son was crying his eyes out when we got to McDonald’s for lunch today because I apparently stretched our adventures a little too long this morning and he was experiencing some serious [...]
Finally some semi decent news in a week of non stop crappiness about COVID and Disney cast member layoffs (heartbroken about all the performers who were laid off, still refusing to accept that as a permanent move). Governor Cuomo in New York has tweaked his mandatory 14 day quarantine for New Yorkers returning from certain [...]
For anyone who took the time to peruse my trip reports from July and August, you will recall that contrary to my best hopes (and efforts), we received no pixie dust or upgrades on our trips. Granted our July trip was to a studio at the Polynesian, so that would have meant we were upgraded [...]
Update 11/3: This morning I was able to easily book any remaining days I was looking for at Topolinos and Hollywood and Vine during my December stay. Any meals that were unavailable yesterday opened up today. It’s worth giving it a look today! Update 10/14: a bunch of availability has opened up at Hollywood & [...]
