Yes, we had a lovely flight over thanks......
I was quite looking forward to the Smores thing after dieting to fit into vacation clothes lol. Hopefully it was good.Oh that doesn`t sound fun! Yes, sometimes it can be very scary, but waiting on the plane must have been very frustrating when you just want to get your trip started.
Look out for my BigFire review............
It really was incredibly hot this trip for May, we could really feel the heat ramp up, especially our last week....wow.......
That Sunday we were in Lake Eola then met a friend for a while and Monday we went to the Studios only for the morning I think. I`m sorry we didn`t run into each other this trip, maybe next time we can say hello
Also, I've attempted to bribe my 2 boys that if they can read all the Harry potter books, I will take them to a OI meet up so maybe well run into each other at one of those. I'm not sure who benefits more from the bribe, me or themOh that doesn`t sound fun!

Can't wait to go back to Tennessee.

It was great!!! We did a road trip which was even fun. We visited family and good friends, ate out a lot!, visited some of our old stomping grounds. We lived in Tn. for many years. It was so beautiful with the hills, flowers, trees and the warm weather. Loved it
I would love to have a trip to Universal but don't know when at this time. I hear that it is getting more and more crowded, due mainly to the exodus from disney to Universal by so many disgruntled people. So til then, will enjoy your trip report
They've seen all the movies and loved them. But they have so many questions and I keep saying if you'd just read the book you'd understand. They are about 80% done with the 1st one, so we'll see. Neither of them really like to read bc they prefer to be "doing" something or watching youtube. I probably love HP way too much for someone in my 40s but it made me so happy to see them nerd out with their wands last week. I was seriously so sad that they went on Forbidden Journey the first time without me. I had to run back to the room to sign for a very important walmart delivery (beer) and I thought I'd be back before they were done eating lunch.
Oh you all would!!
Those events are fabulous.....and the boys will love the Potter books. We all read them when they came out.....Kyle got to read it first, then me, I was always glad he was a fast reader too.
I don't get the complaining! Go back to Disney then! And take your stroller with you! LOLOh I`m so glad to hear it was a success!
Eating out is always good, but with family and friends, doesn`t get better than that. I don`t know much of Tennessee but it does look lovely anytime I`ve seen pictures of it.
This was the busiest May we have experienced in the parks and yes, there were a lot of Disney folks there....dripping in Disney clothes a lot of the time......lol......and yes, we still did hear many comments of "Disney still does it better".....seriously!!!
You`ll get back I`m sure.......but meantime, always glad to have you along on these reports.....
I agree, I am all about TSA-Precheck. There's nowhere it's more useful than MCO. The giant lines we just breeze right past....totally worth it and I'll never be without it or Global Entry for when we renew...
Well you are off to a brilliant start! I'm so glad it was relatively easy to check in, and the lounge sounds just right. I don't think any of those should be a "get your money's worth," situation. For me it's all about the amenity to wait with some peace and refreshments. Very nice and I'm glad you found plenty of bubbly -- those danish do look good!
All that sneezing -- you know people were terrified even though you obviously had a negative Covid test. Let's think about this, People!
I would think the only time you really miss the window seat is for takeoff and landing, and I'm so excited then I don't miss it. When we travel as 3 I always get the middle seat, so I'm used to it. Not what I prefer but the lot of the mom
I admit the food doesn't look as good as the descriptions sound. Of course your expectations are not high so that helps. Eating is definitely an activity to be doing something on the plane. There are limited actions so that makes you think like you accomplished something
Looking forward to more to come! But don't rush, let us savor every moment

I heard that too once when we were there.
It is not surprising given how slow the government seems to be for renewing passports right now. People are waiting over 10-20 WEEKS!!! Of course when our PM is asked about how they plan to get caught up - of course he has some BS lines he says when he doesn't have an answer. I know that he and the party are constantly getting grilled about such issues, travel, passport, lifting more restrictions blah blah blah...and the same BS come out of his mouth 
Hopefully they get it sorted sooner rather than later. Good thing my passport was expiring last year, and I sent it in and got it back quickly. I feel for people who are wanting to travel and having trouble getting their passport now. Definitely get the Nexus card. We are into our 11th year using them. My husband was travelling to the US a lot for business for a few years and his first trip with his Nexus card he texted and said it was the best $50 he had ever spent!We have talked about getting Nexus - like your Global Entry, as we can see us doing more travelling into the US for the next few years. I looked into booking an appointment. There is nothing until early next year
It is so nice when you finally step foot onto the plane and get seated. The excitement, waiting, worrying is all worth it once you step onto the plane!

I rolled my eyes. You can't compare the two. They are separate parks, the offer vastly different things. I love each park for what they offer. There are things I love about Disney, and there are things I love about Universal. They are two different experiences - period. I just rolled my eyes and dh made a comment very loudly after that about how this was his first trip to both, and he was LOVING Universal more lol. He's cheeky like that at times
