Great trip report! I'm so glad you got some solo time in the MK and looks like you had some low wait times on rides. Excited to read all about your cruise!
Thanks! The solo/dual (
) time was really great and just what I needed at that point in the trip. Mommy off-duty time helps so much.
And, yes, we got on a lot of stuff quickly, so that was great too!
Good point!
That's the best kind.
Whoa.
Ah. Bet he liked that!
Wait... Are you saying you wouldn't???
Oh, well, then.... good!
Back later to read the update.
Boo now I see you did miss it, that is too bad
Thankfully, we got to the
Disneyland one (but actually had a pretty odd experience there). Maybe I can manage to work my way back to the WDW one for a quick drink....
So so weird, did you ever figure out what was going on?
How crazy for her to act like that!!
I think it was just a matter of her being WAY overtired by that point. She's good at appearing as though she is fine when she's actually insanely exhausted...we just had that happen the other day, actually - could only tell she was tired because she was overly emotional and fragile - she denied being tired, but fell right asleep once we managed to convince her to get in bed. I think also, since this trip was a year ago, she wasn't as good at expressing herself, so that probably fueled things even more...exhausted and not sure how to communicate that without
.
Every so often I'm good for an idea.
Phew that is late, but relaxing at least for them
I am really surprised they ended up staying up so late. But, whatever, I was off mommy-duty.
I was so surprised I was able to get that!
So awesome you had a great DIS meet up for a while!
It was so much fun! I think we were both fueled by that high of walking into the MK for the first time on a trip - and at night too, which brings a bit of extra magic. I think it was just what I needed - someone to have fun with that didn't require me to take care of them.
LOL I hadn't even thought of that
It was such a coincidence that Dug had listened to that podcast and mentioned it to me shortly before our trip...but sure made sense of that very random and contained "rain" we walked through.
It really was a different way to see Wishes. I wouldn't do it every time, but it worked well for our situation!
Thanks, I must have hit a couple big targets when attempting to show her.
Yay, free stuff!
I've done this before too!! UGH!
That was just the worst feeling to realize I wasn't holding it.
Strangely, I have another lost and found at BTMRR experience at DLR too.
LOL somehow Aria keeps getting hidden in the pic here too.
Ha, well she is a little bit smaller than I am.
Gotta love a private screening.
Really cool to see it empty and dark like that
I love the parks at night (especially MK) when they empty out. Just so pretty and peaceful.
I was definitely on a Disney high that night. It had been a fun, but stressful and challenging trip up to that point, so that night was really a nice change.
hahahaha kind of crazy to have to switch buses and not know where to go, but glad you got a private ride back!
I couldn't believe how disorganized things were.
I guess they improvise a lot as the crowds are emptying out. At least they got me back, though.
Phew! Glad you got that great night in, sounds like a ton of fun. Can't wait to hear about the cruise!
It was a fabulous night! Cruise coming up!
oh no - so sorry to hear about how Izzy woke up! Peter is so bad at waking from naps so I can somewhat understand what you were going through but that sounds really bad!
It was the worst we'd seen. She was just such a mess and not herself at all.
I am very glad to hear you did get your solo time at MK as I remember your TR where that didn't happen- and how great that your solo time wasn't solo! Awesome that you had a Dismeet as part of it (But I think great you got some solo time as well!)
It was really the perfect combo of solo time and DISmeet time! In general, being off-duty for parenting at Disney is a treat!
I love that spot behind the Castle for Wishes. I mean, obviously not the same as being right on main st, but is cool how you fee almost "in" the fireworks - and it is often not crowded
Right, it wasn't crowded AT ALL - I could basically wander aimlessly while looking up and not run into anyone. And they were just every direction you looked - very much "in" them.
Glad you found the straws and for free to boot! (not sure how you could go there and not get a dole whip though
I know - I was looking at that picture wondering why I didn't get one. I think I was too antsy to get on the rides I had planned, though, and didn't want to waste time consuming a Dole Whip.
Very glad that you got the wallet back in the end. Reminds me of the one time my luggage got lost and when they found it they called me and basically had me go through in detail everything that was in there (agent: Sir, what brand were the shoes? me: I don't know agent: Sir, were they boxers or briefs? what color?")
Oh, geez, how annoying! I feel like the questions are just for their own amusement.
Seems like you got a lot in and the final Philharmagic show sounds like a blast!
I felt really good about all that I got done that night and Philharmagic was a good call - didn't have to dash across a park and it was a good way to wind down a bit.
And gotta love the kids goodnight!
I wasn't even expecting to see the Kiss Goodnight, so it was a wonderful bit of magic that I did!
