I am enjoying your trip report!!
That's really smart and convenient!
YES! And the extended versions when they need more time are even more painful.
That was nice especially since clearly the test seat wasn't accurate.
Your dad and my dad might be related lol. He runs into people he knows anywhere we go!
I didn't realize how far behind I was on your trip report!
What a fun reunion with your DCP friends! It's a shame your Num Num Cookie wasn't very good - I've heard nothing but great things about it, so perhaps you'll have to try it again sometime when you're back in Disney? (I'm also sad to hear about the changes to the Carrot Cake Cookie. That's one of my favorite Disney snacks and I'll have to see what I think about the new version!)
What a frustrating meal at Artist Point! I'm so glad your dad had a wonderful experience with Grumpy since that's what he was most looking forward to. I think you probably had a comedy of errors considering how many things went wrong with your meal (how much time it took, the cold food, the delayed and rushed character interactions), but I understand your lack of desire to return. I feel the same way about Coral Reef after our experience with a pushy server and really bad food.
Wow, your cabana rental sounded like a ton of fun! It looked really nice and I'm sure it was great to have a low-key day. Your lunch looks really good, too! (I love the surfboards!)
Moonlight Magic sounds like great fun! It's too bad your dad had to miss out on FoP, but how nice that they gave you three anytime FPs for your trouble. That Night Blossom drink is on my must-try list - I really appreciate your thorough description of it!
I am enjoying your trip report!!
You'd think there was a Dad Convention every year where dads get together so that they know every other dad in the world!
Carl is so sweet-- not only does he have his Ellie badge with him, you can see in that second photo that he wears a wedding band! Such a tearjerker!
The chance of anyone in this family spending real money at this carnival on a regular day is slim to none unless you're me and I'm with my friends and we're all day drunk because the lady from my Thanksgiving 2018 TR has inspired me to get an iced coffee with two shots of Kahlua at 9 AM.
The bus came by almost as soon as we got in line.
OMG CARLAfter an hour, our friends from Paradise Falls came out to greet us!
Your faces thoGrace and I were in complete awe.
The best thing is comparing facial expressions and making up a backstory for the entire group, which is somehow connected.Please tell me why Dinosaur photos are literally the best photos Disney offers???
Oh neat addition. I have never even considered playing those games.We continued on to Dino-Rama so we could use those game ticket vouchers we got!
I still think about that lady and consider how likely it is that I will become that lady. At least we can have our double Kahluas at 9am together.because the lady from my Thanksgiving 2018 TR has inspired me to get an iced coffee with two shots of Kahlua at 9 AM.
Is it bad that I was like oh $27 what a stealThey were about $27 a piece, which is far too much for a screen-printed Gildan shirt in general, but fair enough for Disney I guess.
I love the pictures with Dug, Russell, Carl, and Kevin! UP is a truly wonderful movie, such a tear jerker!
I hope to meet Dug and Russell on our next trip!
Honestly, that would explain a lot lol
This is the cutest picture!
Sounds like a fun night! Love the pics with the Up Gang and KEVIN!!!
OMG CARL
Did you know which characters would be out ahead of time? Was it just from reports from the previous DAK MM?
Your faces tho

You got me so PUMPED for Epcot MM in May (assuming we get tickets)!!
What fantastic meet and greets! How wonderful to have a picture with Russel, Dug, AND Carl!
I'm glad your Moonlight Magic experience went so well!
Just got caught up with your TR and I am loving it.
I am a big pumpkin person too and I love the backpack! I am glad you were it often
Can't wait for more!
I woke up early for our last Parks day. Boo!!!
When that was over, I was feeling ready for breakfast, and I really wanted to try the Mickey celebration donut with strawberry icing!
And then he laughed and gave me a fist-bump and we went on our way.
Do I have any friend on here who have recently been to WDW? The donut was supposed to be retired after the World's Biggest Mouse Party, but someone on my IG feed was talking about it recently and I was lead to believe it's still around. Anyone know the truth?
"Maybe I should apply for Spring 2020," and, well... not to get all cheesy, but the rest is kind of history.
It is truly the most remarkable view on earth, even in this rain! How do you not look at this picture and not feel something pulling on your heart?!?!
The drink has watermelon liquor, fresh watermelon, lime juice, and simple syrup. As you can imagine from how vibrant and pink it is in the picture, this was SO sweet, tart, and delicious! A bit like a watermelon Jolly Rancher in liquid form.
We've been talking about booking a few DVC Member experiences, like the cake decorating class at the Wilderness Lodge or painting at the Contemporary.
When we got there, I volunteered to head to the gift shop and use the rest of our snack credits on snacks for the road. We had a lot of credits left! I got a few cookies, some of those chip and dale cheddar mickey crackers, a few bags of candy, and a rice krispie treat or two.
Hey, boxes are people too. Right? Anyone?These PhotoPass boxes? Not it, guys.
This is iconic. The world needs more donut photoshoots.And then I was all, "No, I'm good!"
I believe in you!!but I am determined to make it there one day!
"Maybe I should apply for Spring 2020,"
That photo at the end of your Minnie hug is AMAZING. This needs to be printed and framed.'Twas an adorable send-off from my two favorite mice in the entire world.
None. No harm at all. Unless you count the total destruction of your emotions as harm. Otherwise, none.I asked myself what the harm would be in going upstairs to the top of the Train Station to drink in my all-time favorite view before heading out.
Easy- you have to not have a heart.How do you not look at this picture and not feel something pulling on your heart?!?!
LOVEHow could I say no?
This sounds incredible. I feel like I can actually taste it.The drink has watermelon liquor, fresh watermelon, lime juice, and simple syrup. As you can imagine from how vibrant and pink it is in the picture, this was SO sweet, tart, and delicious! A bit like a watermelon Jolly Rancher in liquid form.
Oh super fun! It's neat that you guys are open to trying different things and really focus on doing things that will make everyone happy.We've been talking about booking a few DVC Member experiences, like the cake decorating class at the Wilderness Lodge or painting at the Contemporary.
This is maybe my favorite meal on WDW property. Add a side of mac n cheese and I don't need anything else.For dinner, I ordered Art's Famous Fried Chicken: Art's 24-hour buttermilk brined fried chicken with creamy mashed potatoes, a cheddar biscuit, and "love!"
To the GF:I stood around and wiped tears from my eyes as they played the saddest song you could ever hope to end a trip to Disney with, "You'll Be in My Heart" from Tarzan.
I am crying. Crying.The chance of anyone in this family spending real money at this carnival on a regular day is slim to none unless you're me and I'm with my friends and we're all day drunk because the lady from my Thanksgiving 2018 TR has inspired me to get an iced coffee with two shots of Kahlua at 9 AM.
Truer words have never been spoken - say it louder for the people in the back!They were about $27 a piece, which is far too much for a screen-printed Gildan shirt in general
I watched Avatar for the first time like a week ago (I know.... I know.....) - and so I feel very in the know now because I actually get this Also finally figured out how to do the quote thing when replaying - so really feeling in the know lolWe waited about 15 minutes in line for NRJ ... Mah ehwah, mah ehwah, mah ehwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Sounds like such an awesome night!!! Seriously - about to figure out a way that my 23 year old self can fully fund a DVC membershipWe were ready to eat again and honestly contemplating ordering a pizza, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle. We were all asleep very quickly, exhausted from a fun day at the pool and at Moonlight Magic!
I tried Art's outpost in Grand Central Terminal and it was beyond good!!! Sounds like the perfect meal to the end of the trip!For dinner, I ordered Art's Famous Fried Chicken: Art's 24-hour buttermilk brined fried chicken with creamy mashed potatoes, a cheddar biscuit, and "love!"
There really, and I mean just really is no plate of food in WDW quite like this one. Everything is incredible down to the last spoonful of mashed potatoes. That breading on the fried chicken is absolutely perfect, with the right amount of crunch to it. The potatoes are so rich and creamy. The cheddar drop biscuit is soft and cheesy. Please, please order this dish.
