Do your teens still like Disney? A two week SSR trip report.

[DisneyRegulars]

I have 10 & 13 yr old beasts. I think the 10 yr old is just trying to keep up with his 13 yr old brothers beastliness. It's annoying. My husband also spends 2/3 of our time growling at at least one of them lol. Have kids they said.... It'll be fun they said.....

Tell me more!!! I could use these myself lol

We bought these for him. Only problem is both eyes are the same so we just chose a prescription between his two eyes. He loves them!

Another jigsaw puzzle addict here. Could you please share where you bought those puzzles? I bought a 4 pack of the 4 parks (one puzzle for each park) a couple of years ago in the store to the right as you face the US pavilion. I think they were Thomas Kinkade, all night time photos, 500 piece puzzles.

We saw them lots of places, but we bought them in the big Epcot main store.

I have two teen daughters (18 & 16) that love our Disney trips. Our last trip was this past March and before that 2019. We have been going regularly since they were 4 & 2 and it seems like each trip is better than the last. We were always studio people but this past trip I felt like I should finally get an adult room, so we got a 1 bedroom at SSR (Paddock). Don't think I can go back to a studio now. Now that my girls are older, they hang with us for a while, go do their own thing while the Mrs. and I go back to the room for a rest. They meet us at the room before we go back to the parks. We love SSR so the girls spend a ton of time over there getting snacks and shopping. Even though one is at college, they both are asking if we are going next spring. Brings a tear to this gumpy old man's eye, thinking his girls still want to hang with him. 'Cause before you know, they will be off doing their own thing, living their own lives with their own families. But, as we all know, tis the circle of life, so enjoy it while you can.

We've been going for 10 years, and our kids still love it each year!

Hey Regular Family!
It's been a while! Our boys are around the same age and we followed each others' TR shenanigans for a bit before we both fell off of the report board. lol I was thinking about y'all the other day when I was making a dining reservation and how you had offered me sage advice a long long time ago, in a galaxy..oh never mind. The advice was spot on though.
We go every year to MNSSHP still. The last two years we've included MMVCP to the list as well. We just bought DVC contract #3.
We're headed out tomorrow night for an airport hotel so that we can get a little sleep before our 9am flight to MCO. This will be our 8th trip this year. Mostly they're just long weekend trips but in May my daughter graduated from Vet school so we celebrated with family, extended family, ex's, inlaws and her vet school besties. I think we totaled around 35 people for 10 days. The May trip made sense to buy annual passes, so now we have to make the most of them, right?!? lol Between having points, annual passes and flying bargain airlines we go to Disney for around $100-$150pp each trip.
My Beasty waned off of Disney for a few years where he was kinda meh about it but now he's returned from the dark side and is now excited about food and attractions. We watch YouTube videos to hype up the parties before we go too. We did a four park challenge a few months ago but our bus was delayed and we made it to MK as they were letting people out and not IN, so we still have that to try.
I too, am a fair weather friend...blonde hair, blue eyes, pasty skin. I am a leukemia survivor so I have to stay out of the sunlight for health reasons. I am not neurodivergent so I no longer qualify for a DAS pass, so touring looks a little different now. Disney has lost their mind on the Disability Pass thing, but that's a story for another day.
It's good to see y'all back! You look fabulous btw!!

So I know it’s been a while since I did a trip report because I ran into a Dis’er in the DVC lounge last summer who said something super creepy like “Are you disneyRegulars?? You work at XYZ university right and your son rides BMX!” Oh my! Not only was she correct, but I realized I hadn’t posted something in a bazillion years because my son doesn’t do bmx anymore, and moved on to American ninja warrior training long ago. Clearly I haven’t been sharing nearly enough personal details with internet strangers, so I better get on that.

I’ve attached a picture of us now. Beasty is taller than me, which I don’t really like. I also don’t like that I can no longer throw him around the pool during monkey in the middle games.

I seem to have reached my max time limit out on the balcony. Good grief it’s hot here! Must go inside to cool off.

Interesting

We hope our kiddos will love Disney as much as we do when they are older.
