Hello my beautiful DIS friends and welcome to another Ruthie trip report. I hope that my PTR readers can follow over and that I have some new readers along the way. Allow me to tell you a little bit about my family and about our trip.
Who are we?
I am Ruthie and that is my darling husband Tony. We hail from Kentucky and have been married for nine years. I am a social worker by day and a ride share driver on the weekends. The "side gig" money has really made this trip happen. Tony is a security guard part-time and because I work so much, he does most of the heavy lifting around the house. His "honey do" list is ever changing and flowing. In all honesty, I would be lost without Tony. He is my heart and soul and cannot imagine life without him. If you have read my previous trip reports, you know that I have a life long love affair with Disney, while Tony has only recently drunk the Disney Kool-Aid. But I think this trip really sealed the deal. He finally admitted to really liking character dining. He is one of us now!!!! (Insert evil laugh)
A few details
We travel via our minivan and break the drive up into two days. I am the only one allowed to drive. Basically because Tony is just an awful driver and I am an even worse passenger. So our trip was leaving KY on the morning of July 4th and driving to Valdosta, GA. That would have us about four hours away from the magic on July 5th. We stayed at All-Star Music for seven nights in a fully accessible handicapped room. Both Tony and I use ECV's and having the larger room with more space makes it easier to have both scooters in the room. We had five day park passes, but did not have the hopper option. We had one day at Disney Springs and one rest day. This trip had a lot of up's and a lot of down's. And a lot of rain.
Some of the highlights/lowlights included:
The best day ever!
The worst day ever!
A call to EMS
Seeing Illuminations for the last time
So much rain my shoes are still wet
Happily Ever After and Festival of Fantasy Parade front row seating
Even more rain
Character dining
So many photopass pictures
Are you intrigued? I hope so! More to come . . .
Up next - is there traffic in Atlanta on a major holiday?
