I thought about you when I heard the news about the Halloween parties. Seems like every time I turn around, Disney is taking something else away or canceling something. Boo
So excited for your good news, though!❤
Thank you! And your trip is coming up SUPER soon now! You must be getting kind of excited, especially seeing some of the crowd levels recently. Or have the Covid numbers been erasing any anticipation? I honestly hate to check the news reports these days.
Thank you! I am fortunate to have a wonderful relationship with Jake's bride-to-be, and she's been awesome so far in getting me involved in as many of the plans as I can be from afar. She's VERY organized, though, so she definitely doesn't need much help. But it's been fun seeing the plans come together....I have no doubt it will be a beautiful wedding!
Eeeek, congrats to Jake! That is awesome news
I honestly think I may be spending a lot of time at the SW parks, especially as I have no idea when I'll be able to visit the WDW parks next (I can only imagine how long CMs will be blocked out). So I might have to book all of the tours
Thank you Joanna! And congrats on getting called back to work.....I know you were eager to get back "home" again. I have loved seeing your CM preview pics on Facebook!
I don’t know how I stumbled onto this report but so glad to see it. Your reports are so entertaining and informative. Sorry about your spring trip being cancelled. We have a family Dec WDW trip and a Family Hawaii trip in Feb 2021 but with everything the way it is, we are uncertain if they will happen. Last November I rented a week at the Vistana from a member for $1,000 and our family had a great time. I took my son, grandson and son in law to a Florida Gators football game in Gainesville and spent a week relaxing. It is a beautiful resort in a great location. Thanks again for a great trip report and hope that you. Have gotten back to see your family. Flying is the only way but would be worth it. Stay Well.
Thank you for joining in! So glad to have you back reading along again.
I am glad you got to enjoy such a wonderful week at my favorite resort. I hope your son and grandson enjoy it there as well. I am so sorry to hear that your 2020 plans are in a state of flux.....its so discouraging to see this virus still spreading at such a crazy rate. At this point, I'm not even staking the farm on our fall and Christmas trips. I'd like to think another 90 days or so will bring some progress, but I thought that 90 days ago from now as well.
Unfortunately we have been unable to get home to see our family as of yet. Whether we drive or fly, we would still face a mandatory 14 day quarantine upon entering Canada (with painfully steep fines for non-compliance). We just can't be away from work, home, and the cats for 3 weeks (2 weeks of quarantine plus a week to see family). And then Steve would face a second 14 day quarantine per his company's current policy upon our return. It's a hot mess. I can't even tell you how upsetting this all is.
YAY!! Congratulations to your son and his fiancee, and to you and Steve as well! That is exciting news!
Happy early Birthday to Steve!
I hope you guys have a great weekend celebrating his birthday.
Thank you! We had a lovely weekend in Holland, Michigan. Such a quaint little town. Getting away (even for just a few days) is good for the soul.
I was so happy when I saw the news on fb about Jake! Congrats to everyone again. I hope you are able to get a trip home sometime soon.
I am sure you will plan a fabulous trip in Oct. I was able to get two days of park reservations yesterday. I only have two-day passes (from 4 years ago
) in my account so we took what we could get. If we go in Nov, and with the FL case number that's a big if, we will be staying at Universal for the beginning of the trip and then move to WDW property. Once reservations at WDW can be modified, I will be making changes. The only bummer is that we are staying at the WL and it still doesn't have an opening date for the main hotel, the DVC villas just do. I really wanted to stay in the main building in the renovated rooms. We also have CL booked and that is up in the air. Right now, its just a waiting game in this house. I will keep booking things that are refundable and go from there. Next stalking event is rental cars.
But congrats to the fam and happy early birthday to Steve.
Oh be patient on the WDW park reservations, I literally left the pink castle screen up on my computer for a few hours before I got in. If you want I can email you the link that I went into
MDE to. It was from the email I got from Disney about the reservation system. If I went into MDE directly, I got calendars that had zero availability. I also did the cookie dump of my Chrome browser before. yada yada. The standard procedures to get a Disney website to work.
Thank you!
I was able to make our Disney park reservations with absolutely no problem at all....by the time the process got to our ticket type, I think the initial bugs were worked out and it all went quickly, seamlessly, and (shockingly) easily. I was expecting a hot mess but was pleasantly surprised!
I'm sorry your November trip is still questionable. This year has totally sucked the joy out vacation planning.
Hi Gina- so glad to have finally “found” your report!!! Really enjoying your stories and all the fantastic pictures. Please don’t apologize- some people like to put in a “Dis” ( pun intended) because they are jealous. I think its wonderful you can fly First Class. My dh and I are so disappointed our trip to Universal this August is a bust. Just cancelled our hotel (RPR) and flight - but this is not the time to travel for us. We are hoping for March 2021.
Brenda
Aw, Brenda, I am SO sorry your trip had to be cancelled. I understand that disappointment oh-so-well. 2020 has been a heck of a year.....and heaven help us, we're only half way through.
I am thrilled you found this report, though! I have taken a bit of a break from it over the past few weeks, but i'm trying to get my head back in the game and attempting to get posting again. Everyone has been wonderfully patient so I owe them to finish. Hopefully I can get a decent entry up this week. So great to have you along again!!

We can social distance in the Drive-Thru at Twistee Treat!
