Most people have already chimed in. I’ll add that I really enjoyed Palm Breeze Bar at VDH if you’re willing to venture out a little bit to the hotel areas. Great Maple looks good too though I didn’t try it.

Just found this! Would love to read the rest, or at least see where GotG ranks on your coaster list!

Here are rides that are completely not at WDW or very different. Stars next to some of my favorites and must-dos. For DL: Indiana Jones * Snow White Enchanted Wish * Mr Toad’s Wild Ride * Pinocchio’s Daring Adventure * Casey’s Train Storybook Boats Matterhorn Bobsleds * Space Mountain (has...

Final Summary and Thoughts I really had a fantastic trip. Despite only being in the parks for 2 days, I really feel like I got a full experience of the parks! Upon return, I was reflecting that this trip wasn’t necessarily about time away from my kids, but rather being able to fully enjoy a...

I’m curious. How does Global Entry work in Dublin? I thought it was for re-entry into the US only.

I ended up being similar predicament as you and chose to just get TSA pre-check. I had domestic trips in the near future vs down the road international trips. But my factors also included that all my international travel includes my kids and we weren’t going to get GE for all of us, so I...

Day 3: MCO and Flying Home Last post of this trip report (I do plan to write some post-trip reflections), but I’m dragging my feet. Partially, it’s been really busy, partially, writing about the airport isn’t that exciting. But I’m taking the kids to DL and DCA tomorrow so I should finish this...

Day 3: Back to AS Sports I hopped on the Sassagoula River Cruise (just found that name out online) that takes people from their resorts to DS. This ride ends up being both simultaneously relaxing and stressful. It’s super relaxing in that the views of the resorts along the river are...

Day 3 - Resort Hopping to POFQ and POR You last saw me hopping on a Lyft with my heavy souvenir bag in tow. I had decided to take a short ride over from DS to Port Orleans French Quarter! It was only $6 with tip. This ended up being a great move! I totally would’ve been okay walking to the...

A quick Legoland Reflection We just spent two days at Legoland celebrating my son’s 4th birthday. Won’t do a full report but thought I’d share a few thoughts before moving to finish up this WDW report. We stayed at the Legoland Castle Hotel. We used points but this probably would’ve cost...

I think the main two LLs that would run out early are Remy’s and FEA. I still find having Genie+ at Epcot for other rides was useful. Most other rides I think you’d still be able to get. Saving 20-30 minutes on rides was still worth it for a few extra dollars. I’d stack Soarin’ as that ride can...

I did online check-in and got a preferred room at AS Sports. Don’t know if it was intentional pixie dust but it felt special for me (and I loved saving all those steps).

Day 3: Summer House and Jaleo/Pepe, Disney Springs While my main objective was to get Gideon’s, I also decided I wanted to do a head to head comparison of cookies. With Summer House on the Lake having opened recently, I decided to buy some home also. I did also have a reservation here at some...

Yah! And with the photo background, it seems like he was a permanent fixture. He was super fun.

Should’ve kept reading! I’d definitely do FEA for your 7am if you’re hoping to ride twice. I think you can still likely have a low wait for LwtL if it’s your third ride but I know you’d like to get breakfast also. Sorry to hear about sickness! May you recover quickly. The best part is not...

I know this is from a few posts back. I wonder if you should consider booking Frozen for your 7am. Still try to RD Remy’s and Frozen, and if you’re successful, modify to LwtL. That way, in case the lines are crazy, you have an alternative (or in my case, one of the rides isn’t open). I feel like...

Day 3: World of Disney cont. Here’s what I actually take home. I can’t get it directionally correct, but this is for my brother. He loves Oswald and has a tattoo of him. This was Disney100 sale merchandise so was half off! These next two are individual gifts for my son and daughter - a...

Back to regularly scheduled programming… Day 3: Disney Springs - Polite Pig and World of Disney On my way out of Gideon’s, I placed an order at Polite Pig. I was going to continue my snacking around DS, and thought I should have some veggie! So I ordered the Crispy Brussel Sprouts with...

I’d choose AH, especially if your main goal is repeat SDMT. Genie+ won’t get you on SDMT so you’d have to RD and then maybe catch it again end of day. You can buy ILL. But I’m a big fan of AH. I bet you could just keep lining up for SDMT and get on 5-6 times in an evening.

A West Coast Detour - Villas at DLH, Palm Breeze Bar, Pixar Pier Hotel and Ballast Point Brewery Taking a slight break to do a quick recap of my past weekend. One of my best friends turned forty this year, so for her birthday, I decided to take her to a conference, and it happened to be in...
