My Disney Birthday Wish Came True! – June 2025 Trip Report (Updated 10/2!)

[buzzrelly]

Looked like a magical MK morning!

Ugh about your terrible LL morning! That is super frustrating and the bad CM didn't help! Glad it was sorted out!

But, I don't know if anyone else ever experiences this, I have like pre-trip Disney blues. I know it's weird, but I'm just not as excited as I usually am for a trip

I always get extra anxious right before a trip worrying about literally everything from the house to my (adult) kids, the doggies, the weather down there, etc... I am a worrier by nature and have to go back to that old Walt quote, "Why worry? If you've done the very best you can, worrying won't make it any better."

My dog really started to show his age about two weeks ago (he's 12!), and I've been thinking way too much about end of life care and when I need to make the worst decision ever and even debating if I want to go on this trip with his fading health. He did perk up a bit in the last few days, so decided to keep the trip, but I've just been worried sick about him.

Speaking of sick, last week one of my coworkers came into the office super sick and actually went desk by desk to tell us all that he's "just there to spread a virus." Like WHAT?!?!?

Oh my, how rude and selfish! At least wear a mask and don't get everyone else sick!

I hope you have a Magical trip!!

I can help you disappear that co-worker. We live in the same state. It's not a problem to travel to you. Just let me know.

I hope you have a great trip! You deserve it!!!!

Why is Disney's IT So SO SOOOOO Bad?

I always say "Billion dollar company, start up IT" It is very frustrating, especially since they are really moving toward all on line for everything.

So she just wasted about 20 minutes of my morning telling me I was doing everything wrong when she could have just helped right at the start.

That is so frustrating. She clearly just did not want to work

one of my coworkers came into the office super sick and actually went desk by desk to tell us all that he's "just there to spread a virus." Like WHAT?!?!?! He came in to do that, then went home since he decided he's too sick to be there.

Ughh that is annoying too! To play devils advocate, I am often afraid people won't believe me if I call in sick, so I tend (pre-covid) to be someone that shows up not feeling well, just to prove I really am sick and not faking it. I blame my parents who never let me stay home from school unless I had a fever.

the last two weeks have been super stressful.

This was me before my Alaska cruise last month. It seemed like every day leading up to it, something odd was happening. I literally just threw random stuff into a suitcase. One was packed picture perfect, the other I lovingly referred to as my "Meth lab" it was just so disastrous and I just had no energy to deal.

Day 5, Part 2: A Magical Morning, part 2!​

We last left off heading over to HM. There was a short line, and we just missed the cutoff to get in, but the wait wasn’t bad. While waiting I got pictures of the graveyard.



Totally unintended, but these are the two tombstones I have for my yard for Halloween, I had no idea they were next to each other at the HM! I've been too sick this week to put mine up, but now that I'm FINALLY starting to feel better I'll hopefully get them up in the next day or two and will post a picture of mine once I do!



After the HM we were into our first LLSP return time of the day for 7DMT so we made our way over there, after getting a photopass picture of course!



On the way we stopped at the Tangled bathrooms for my mom, so while I waited outside I got some pictures of the area with no one in them!



Finally, we arrived at 7DMT! There was a bit of a line in the LL, but not bad, took about 10 minutes to get on.



By the time we got off it was into our first LLMP at Pirates, so we headed over there.

After scanning in, I quickly booked us a LL for Space for 11:30.

Pirates was a complete walk-on in the LL, and soon we were on!



Once we got off Pirates is just in time for our next LL at 10:10 for TBA, so we headed over there.

Next up: A Magical Morning, Part 3!​

I will never stop being disappointed that the Tangled area we got was restrooms. I mean, the area is done so well with the benches, the charging, the paint and details, the hidden Pascals etc. But restrooms?
