Hello Everyone!!!!
Welcome to my next trip report! This trip kicked off exactly 1 year ago! I know, I am late to get this started but at least it is the holiday day season? Right?
This was our first time in Disney around the Christmas Holiday. And I was soooo excitied to see all of the holiday stuff! And we tried to squeeze it all in! I may have run our whole group ragged trying! But we had a GREAT trip!!!
This was also a special trip because our friends were meeting us here! And the girls didn't know about it. More on that in the introductions below.
So, if you haven't read any of my other trip reports, here is a quick intro for my family:
First up is me!
My name is Ariella. I am the disney planner. It has literally become my hobby! And 2020 was a bit depressing for me with no idea when I would even be able to plan a trip. I love almost any ride in disney, love all things PIXAR and princesses and have a soft spot for bread service and most specialty drinks.
Up next is Andy. Andy is hard working and always loves our trips to decompress from work. He loves all of the Star Wars rides, loves Star Wars and is a big fan of the moonshine from homecomin'.
This is Morgan. She is our oldest. She was 11 on this trip. Morgan is our reserved, thoughtful girl. She loves all Disney rollercoasters, all things Star Wars and pretty much all disney snack.
This is Gwen, she was 9 on this trip. She is our fiesty little one. Gwen loves the more traditional disney rides (It's a small world, Peter Pan...), all cute disney characters and is partical to the churros and macroons.
With us this trip is our friends, The C's. Our kids are close in age and as the kids have grown up, we have really become family to one another. We call the kids all "pho-cousins". And some of Gwen's friends from school think they are there actual cousins. But they as they have all gotten older, they really do act like cousins. And I just love it! And I was beyond excitied when they decided to come to Disney at the same time as us!
This is Dad C. Dad C and Andy went to college together. So, they have known each other for awhile and have bonded over the usually college antics. Big C's favorite parts of Disney was def the food and drinks!
This is Mama C. Mama C and I have become close friends over time. And is really is like family. She is the mom of the following 2 boys and loves to get her girl fill with my girls. She LOVES disney world but hasn't been since pre-children. I think she might have been the most excitied for this trip in there family.
This is Big L. Big L is exactly 2 weeks younger than Gwen. They have never not known each other and they def consider each other cousins. Big L loves all of the rollercoasters and any of the more thrill rides.
This is Little M. He is a short and mighty little guy. He is the youngest of the "cousins" and is always trying to keep up with them. He loves anything with pirates, robots, and the less thrill ride rides...
So, the rest of the details of the trip?
We all stayed at Carribean Beach. I would have loved to have stayed at Wilderness Lodge this trip butt it was just too $$$$. It turned out to work out great for us. The Skyliner was literally a LIFESAVER this trip! (more on that later)
We flew out Black Friday and flew home the following Thursday. While the C's flew out Saturday after Black Friday and flew home on Saturday. So, most of our trip overlapped with each other.
I hope you follow along with me as I re-live our holiday full trip!
