I said we wouldn't do Disney again. I lied. April Vacation - 4 Days Left! 4/17

[AshBriSmi]

Thank you! and We are so excited!

Do you miss the cooler weather in Texas? I guess I can see that. The warmer weather has definitely not worn out it's welcome up here yet. We're looking forward to Florida weather for sure.

I can't wait for your Trip Report!!! You will definitely have to let me know when it is going up!!

And with the weather... Like I said it's bitter sweet. It's nice to be out of the cooler weather, however now it's just a matter of days until we reach triple digit weather...

I love pre-vacation pedi's!!!

I am so very happy for you- getting to see a close friend on top of being in WDW just adds sprinkles to the cake!!!

2 Days til Disney!!

Hooray!!! Don't forget to update your PTR title!

I did a bunch of last minute errands for the trip. It never ends!

I know how you feel! I thought I was 110% done, then just a few minutes ago I realized I need to run back to Walmart for something else bewteen now and when I leave on Friday. Dangit!

I finally checked the weather forecast and it looks like a lot of showers so we picked up some cheap ponchos at Target.

I had my hair cut and hope to get the the nail salon for a pedicure

I love doing the pre-vacation hair and nails thing! I'm skipping out on it this time since it's such a quick trip for me, though. But in December, I'll be getting dolled up for sure!

One of my dearest friends lives in the Tampa area and she will be driving out to spend the day with us at HS on Saturday!

That's awesome!!! Ya'll are gonna have the best time!!!

 

[Steppesister]

You must be so stinking excited!! YAY! Have a wonderful trip and we'll "see" soon!!

 

[ashw100]

You should be fine to add your friend, you just might have to wait a little bit. That's awesome you'll have someone to do rides with. I hope you guys have a great time!

 

[afwdwfan]

Have a great time!!

Regarding the Fantasmic! ADR, keep checking, but if all else fails, I'd just show up with her. They will likely work to accommodate one extra person. I don't have personal experience, but I listen to the WDW Today podcast and this is always their stock answer when anybody asks about it.

 

[pkondz]

Have a great trip!!

 

[AshBriSmi]

I can't fully remember if you leave today or just tomorrow morning- either way, I hope your trip is magical and I hope you and your kids all get some new memories to take home-- which I'm sure you will
Travel safely!!

 

[CaseFace5]

Hope you have a great trip!!!

 

[TheLittleKatie]

Your plans sound so great! I hope you're all having an amazing time!!

2 days!! So exciting!
I hope you got the boys Disney DVDs for the flight ... you can't really watch anything else on the way to Disney!

How exciting that your friend will be joining you! I hope you can add her to the Fantasmic! package ... not sure how easy it will be, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can!

Hey Sarah! I just had to say that I didn't actually get the boys Disney DVDs. Because they're expensive and we were just looking for some cheap entertainment. Thanks for the good thoughts. I think it helped...

Guys, I'm back!!

We had the most amazing family vacation ever!! I have so much to tell you! I'm working on sorting out all my pictures so I can start a trip report soon.

I can't decide if I want to do one long trip report with dining reviews or separate dining and trip reports. Any thoughts/preferences?

Hi ! Just found your PTR and am going to read through it tonight! I'm getting in a little late in the game but I hope to see a TR coming soon! Sounds like we have a lot in common, I'm the planner and photographer in our family as well! Hope you're having an amazing time!

Hi! And welcome back!
No preference.... But I don't read dining only reports if that makes a difference.

 

[ashw100]

Welcome back! Glad you had a great vacation, I'm so excited to hear about it. I don't read dining reviews so all in one is my vote.

Welcome back! I'm glad you had such a great trip. I look forward to reading about it.

I'll throw a vote in for just putting them together. I enjoy a good dining review, but I'd probably tend to not read a separate dining report.

OMG OMG OMG!!! Welcome back!!! Was it amazing? I can't wait to read all about it!!!

I'll be the loose cannon here, and vote for separate reports. You know this is the format I choose to follow for my own threads, and here's my reasoning:

I'm certain there are people out there who may enjoy reading my full adventures, but perhaps aren't big foodies and are uninterested in reading about every single morsel I put in my mouth (and there's always a lot of morsels to write about and photograph). So in my TR, I'll post one or two photos from a meal, say a few words about it, then add something like "If you'd like to read about my full experience and reviews of this place, you can visit my Dining Report here" with a link. Giving the reader the option to either see more about my Noms, or to just continue reading about my trip.

And on the flip side of that, there are plenty of people out there on the Dis too who ARE foodies, or maybe just really enjoy reading up on and seeing photos of Disney Dining experiences, but don't feel compelled to read about every minute of my every day while on vacation. For these folks, I offer up my Dining Report thread.

I know these folks exist, because there are always people who follow my Dining Reports, but not my Trip Report. And visa-a-versa. I don't mind writing both threads, and putting the options out there.

Welcome back! I'm so glad the trip was amazing!

I'll put in my vote for separate reports. I don't really reading dining reports (mostly because I can't eat most of the food), so I tend to skip over the dining parts of TRs, but I love reading every little detail of the trip, so if I can get the details without the food getting in the way, I'm happy!

 

[deedee2177]

Sounds like you had a great trip! Can't wait to read along with the TR...(2 separate reports or one big report works for me).

Thanks for coming by. I'm going to start the TR and get some links up soon.

Thank you! I can't wait to get started on the report so I can relive the trip that just ended yesterday.

Welcome back! Glad you had a great vacation, I'm so excited to hear about it. I don't read dining reviews so all in one is my vote.

Thank you! It really was amazing, I can't wait to share it. Thanks for your input!

Hi Andy! Thanks! It was awesome. I think I might actually separate them out so you don't have to read the dining bits if you don't want to. Thanks for weighing in!

OMG OMG OMG!!! Welcome back!!! Was it amazing? I can't wait to read all about it!!!

I'll be the loose cannon here, and vote for separate reports.

You know, Billie, it might have been your last trip report that gave me the idea of writing separate reports. Thanks for putting it in perspective for me. I think I'll steal your method.

Welcome back! I'm so glad the trip was amazing!

Hey Sarah! I'm happy to say that I'll be doing separate reports so you won't have to read all boring food stuff.

Sounds like you had a great trip! Can't wait to read along with the TR...(2 separate reports or one big report works for me).

We had an amazing trip, thank you. I'll be getting started on my report soon, stay tuned!
