    March Not-That-Madness - Our Surprisingly Smooth March 2022 Vacation! *NEW 4/3*

    Love your trip reports! I'm really glad to hear you had a mostly positive experience. My husband and I have a big trip planned for May and the recent reports about disappointing visits have had me really down in the dumps, so it's great to hear that things might be on an upswing. Looming forward...

    Your Disney Splurge!

    Last trip we splurged on a Business Class room at Coronado Springs. It was so worth it! We loved being able to grab something quick for breakfast in the morning, and being so close to the bus stop and the main building were total pluses for us. Also, the free sangria was so delicious. A...

    We're Being Optimistic! We Leave This Month!!!

    Thank you! We are very much needing a vacation over here, so there's extra excitement. Plus, vacation is my absolute favorite thing in the world, and then a Disney vacation is one of my favorite types of vacation, so all things considered it's going to be an amazing trip.

    We're Being Optimistic! We Leave This Month!!!

    So our flight got pushed back from 8:20 to 9:00. I'm super annoyed, because I thought 8:20 was late to begin with. Now we aren't scheduled to land in Orlando until almost 5:00pm. Booooooo.

    We're Being Optimistic! We Leave This Month!!!

    So I hadn't paid much attention to the Frozen Summer Fun things, but now that it's been extended, I'm trying to figure out if there's anything we need to do from it. It's looking like it shouldn't impact our trip plans much. While our planned Hollywood Studios day is the 28th, so the last day...

    We're Being Optimistic! We Leave This Month!!!

    Dining update!! I've been very not excited about our reservation at Via Napoli for some reason. I really want to try it, but, as someone who learned to cook from their Italian Nonna, it kills me to pay so much for food I can make myself. I couldn't figure out what else to change it out for...

    FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER...I'm NOT GOING HOME!! UPDATE DEC.30 PG 74

    I've been away from the boards for awhile, but I'm so glad you're enjoying your program. I think Epcot has got to be an awesome park to work in.

    We're Being Optimistic! We Leave This Month!!!

    Peter Pan’s Flight is one of my favorites. Since my absolute favorite, “it’s a small world,” was still closed, I knew that I really wanted to ride Peter Pan. A lot of the times we skip it, since it always has a line, but today we decided to brave it. I think the wait time was around 35 minutes...

    We're Being Optimistic! We Leave This Month!!!

    So while I’m (not so) patiently waiting for September to come around, I’ve been spending a lot of time at Disneyland. When we go, usually we’ll just go for a few hours. My birthday was last week though (yay, I love birthdays!) and we decided to spend the whole day at Disneyland. I took a ton of...

    Doesn't everybody have Disney on speed dial? Seriously? Mickeystoontown does! 5/14

    Mini golf is amazing, I think you guys are going to have so much fun. We did the Fantasia Gardens course last time we were there, and I think it was my absolute favorite thing from the whole trip. We will for sure be hitting the putt-putt again this time around, trying to decide if we want to...

    How Much Was It?!?!?! The tale of our best trip ever!!!!!!UPDATE 5/12/14 PG 30

    ElecTRONica was cool, but I personally prefer Mad T Party. It just is more fun to me!

    How Much Was It?!?!?! The tale of our best trip ever!!!!!!UPDATE 5/12/14 PG 30

    Anyone who hasn't should go to YouTube and check out Weird Al's Skipper Dan. I also love all the Disneyland entertainment though! Mad T Party can be super fun, and I just love how that area looks.

    This is kind of a small thing, but I found out that my vacation time was approved for our trip! That's always a relief.

    The Mad Ramblings of an Over-Planner (A Sept 14 trip - Anderson style!)

    Your new list of reservations looks great! I debated about Narcoossee's for a really long time, and I'm still not 100% sure it won't decide to make an appearance on our trip. The only other place on your list that we've been to is Yak and Yeti, which we loved. We did Boma for dinner, and it...

    We're Being Optimistic! We Leave This Month!!!

    So I have been making some changes! I did end up cancelling Le Chefs. The more I looked at the menu, the less I was excited about it. I really like the escargot, which they usually do at the Food and Wine booth, and I figured why spend the money on something I'm not super excited about? I...

    FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER...I'm NOT GOING HOME!! UPDATE DEC.30 PG 74

    YAY for being done with finals! I finished my master's almost 3 years ago, and I still love not having homework and exam. I think it's awesome that you'll have a lot of opportunities to volunteer. (Or VoluntEAR, as it may be :upsidedow ). Disney is an awesome company for giving back to the...

    We're Being Optimistic! We Leave This Month!!!

    Paid off our flights today! :cool1: It's not really that exciting, since we had the money in our vacation savings account before we booked them (I like to put everything on my Disney Visa, then we use the points for food and Wine :thumbsup2) But it's still nice to get it taken care of and get my...
