We have had a long run of “other” trips lately, so it feels GREAT to be back on the Walt Disney World TR board! I think my last one was in 2016!!
Maybe you remember us, and have even been following along with my other TRs, but maybe you don’t have a clue who we are. So, let’s do some introductions!

First up is me! I am the TR writer, contributing a handful of photos from my iPhone when I remembered to take them. I’m a pediatric hematology/oncology nurse by trade, but a HUGE all-things-Disney fan in my free time! This was my 19th trip to WDW, and I have also been lucky enough to visit Disneyland 4 times, Disneyland Paris once, as well as experiencing 1 Disney Cruise Line cruise and 1 Adventures by Disney trip to Italy. My Disney favorites would include Splash Mountain, Rapunzel, the Peoplemover, Mickey Premium Bars, Via Napoli, and meeting characters.

Next up is DH, the photographer in our TR duo. He works in the oil field but loves Disney as much as I do! This was his 18th WDW trip, and he has also visited Disneyland 5 times, plus he was my travel partner on our Disneyland Paris, ABD, and DCL trips. His Disney favorites would include Donald Duck, Big Thunder Mountain, Dole Whip floats, the Enchanted Tiki Room, and Sci-Fi Dine In.

DS is our Disney-loving son who has grown up Disney. He is 9 years old, and a little bit of a fraidy cat when it comes to new (to him) rides, which was somewhat of an issue several times in particular during this trip. This was his 10th trip, and he has also been to Disneyland 3 times, and on our 1 DCL vacation. His Disney favorites are Pluto, churros, Space Mountain, Wilderness Explorers, Flight of Passage and Pandora: the World of Avatar.

DD rounds out our family of 4 and she also happens to be 4 years old. She proved to be incredibly adventurous this trip, which was almost like her very first trip although it was actually her 6th! The first 5 trips she took were from the time she was 3 months old to 15 months old, so she doesn’t remember any of it. She has been to Disneyland once which she also doesn’t remember because she was just shy of 2 at the time, and she was on our DCL vacation which she LOVED (I mean, we all did, but she really really loved the cruise, so I hoped the parks would live up to her expectations). Her Disney favorites would include all of the princesses, Frozen, 7 Dwarfs Mine Train, Big Thunder Mountain, Mickey Premium Bars, and Rivers of Light.
Our trip took place from February 22nd-29th during the kids’ Mardi Gras break from school. I was a bit nervous about this, since the last time we had visited during Mardi Gras break with other family members, we commented several times that it was so crowded, we were happy this wasn’t our only trip for the year.
We were staying for the first time on our own DVC points after becoming owners via the resale market in early 2019. Our home resort is Animal Kingdom Villas-Jambo House, and we had booked there originally when we got to our 11 month window, but when 7 months rolled around and we could book other resorts, Copper Creek Villas at Wilderness Lodge was available, so we switched there. We stayed in a 1 bedroom villa for 7 nights, and had 5 day park hoppers.
I look forward to sharing all of our wonderful Disney memories with you!
