Welcome, welcome to my Disney trip report!!!
This is my second trip report here on the boards. I greatly enjoyed writing my last one (two years ago!) so I'm excited to reconnect to our amazing vacation by sharing with you all!
First, introductions!
My name is Vicky and I am a Disney addict. My parents first brought me to Disney as a baby and I've been going every couple of years ever since. My favorite park is Magic Kingdom, but my (new) favorite ride is Flights of Passage, replacing Expedition Everest since this last trip. I am an avid crafter and made all of the shirts you will be seeing during this trip report (and there were a lot)!!!
Next up is my husband Jason. His first trip to Disney was the year after we got married about 12 years ago and he has been slow to warm up to Disney magic, but I think he's getting there! He is 7 feet tall and crowds really bother him, especially with everyone asking him how tall he is all the time and barely fitting on rides. I have spent most of my life being a rope drop to close, commando style Disney tourist. Hubby does NOT enjoy this so I've altered our trips to make them more enjoyable for all of us! His favorite character is Goofy and his favorite ride is the Safari at Animal Kingdom

Jackson is our 9.5 year old son. This is his 4th trip to Disney and he loves it! His favorite ride is Space Mountain but he loves pretty much all rides at all the parks. He's starting to get some of that pre-teen attitude so we like to joke with him that Eeyore is his spirit animal. He loves buffets, even meeting the characters! He's also a big Star Wars fan and has seen all the movies.

Next up is Vivian, our only daughter, who turns 8 next month. This is also her 4th time at Disney, her first trip was when she was 8 weeks old! She says her favorite ride is Flights of Passage at AK and her favorite character to meet was Chewbacca. We also let her watch the movie Avatar before our trip and she LOVES everything Avatar now.
Zachary turns 6 at the end of the month. This was his 3rd trip to Disney! His favorite ride at Disney is Space Mountain and his favorite character is Darth Vader. He is a pretty cautious, anxious kiddo typically and our last trip when he was 4 was really hard for him, but this trip was so much better. His big excitement was he lost his first tooth ever on the car ride down to Florida, and then lost his second tooth during the Indiana Jones show!
Last, but certainly not least, is Reid who turns 4 on in a few weeks. Reid is my little spit fire!!! He is a bundle of energy, he actually walked was stroller-free at Hollywood Studios from 8 am until 8:30 pm! He says his favorite ride is Dinosaur at AK (which is really amusing, as you will see later in the trip report) and his favorite character is Minnie Mouse.
So now you've heard all about our family!!!
Next up, join me as we begin our loooong road trip from cold Minnesota to sunny Florida!
