Hurray for extending your trip! I never say no to a few more days at Disney!
Looking forward to finally meeting you! Naturally, we'll meet for the first time in Florida (which I looked up, and is like 3100km away from your current home, and 4500km away from my current home), despite growing up like 2 hours apart...
That's hilarious! It would have been much easier for us to just meet years ago!
I remember that episode. Classic!
But.... did you pay the price you were originally quoted?
I did! ...kind of. I had pre-payed with my flight package, but of course that price didn't include all the "extra" fees. I also didn't intend to drive it because I was under 25, but since it was booked on my credit card they wouldn't let Nathan be the driver, so we also paid ridiculous young driver fees. But we didn't get upcharged for a larger vehicle. In fact, I actually put up a stink because the smallest vehicle they had was an Explorer, which I would have been okay with driving, but it smelled strongly of cigarette smoke when they put us in it, and everything else they had was huge. So eventually someone with good customer service put us in one of their "best in class" vehicles for the same price, and that was pretty nice.
HI! I've been lurking on your report, but decided I had to reply...I'm an SLP!!!!
I am really enjoying your report!!! If you ever have and SLP questions, feel free to reach out!!! I LOVE my profession... you made a great choice!!!
Thanks so much for reading, and for replying!! How awesome that you love being an SLP! That's really encouraging to me after writing all my midterms in the last two weeks!
Do you work primarily with kids? Adults? If I have any questions I'll know where to go, thank you! I'm really excited to learn more and get a chance next year to get out in the field a bit with my practicum opportunities.
I have no idea how these work either, one day I will try.
I got a pretty straightforward explanation on here. Basically: Epcot --> resorts --> DHS --> resorts --> Epcot. I can probably handle that in future.
I seriously do not get the fuss. I LOVE rose gold and will buy the ears if I see them, but people were freaking out over these and Etsy has had them for years
. If people wanted them so bad, why don't they just get them there?
I have no idea why this was such a thing! I love rose gold. I take great pride in loving rose gold "before it was cool."
But I can't imagine getting this worked up about buying ears in the parks. You're right, they're all over Etsy. And obviously nobody cares whether the design is exactly the same as the WDW ones if they saw mine from Etsy and thought they were the same anyway.
Just found your report. Enjoying it so far!
Congrats on your wedding!
Thanks so much!
I say keep it! We didn't have a wait when we did brunch, just when we did Thanksgiving dinner. And given that it was a holiday I think it was a tad understandable. I know
@Raeven had a wait and she wasn't there on a holiday, but I still think you should try it! And it's really not hard to get to, if you're at MK just take the boat.
Thanks for this! I think we will!
Nice! You know I did both, right?
I knew you did Marceline, but I don't think I remembered that you did the Future World tour. Did you like them? Prefer one over the other? I'm really looking forward to it. Nathan was more interested in the other one until I told him that we'll likely get a behind the scenes experience with Haunted Mansion, which is one of his favourite rides.
I love the idea of running a Disney marathon; they look like so much fun and I especially like when they have rare characters, or characters in different outfits, along the routes. But um, I despise running and unfortunately even Disney hasn't been able to sway me yet!
Running is the worst!
I know some people walk the 5K. They don't really sweep or enforce a time limit with that one as long as you keep moving. But even still, it's pretty early to get up in the morning and pretty pricey just to walk around Epcot.
I also wanted to mention, although I hate to be the bearer of bad news, that Dragon Challenge closed last month
Still plenty of Potter to enjoy though!
Oh no! I remember hearing it was closing soon for a new HP experience, but I don't think I realized quite how soon. ...oh well, it has zero effect on me!
Nathan liked it but didn't love it, so he won't be too disappointed either.
I really am enjoying reading your TR! First of all love your wedding dress - so unique and gorgeous <3 I could just imagine the stress you were feeling regarding trying to meet up with N's family at Epcot. I would love to have a big family reunion at WDW but we all have such different touring styles that I'm afraid it just wouldn't work out. (Me, my 2 youngest sons and my oldest with his wife and 2 daughters were supposed to be at WDW this week but had to delay our trip for another year so it's been fun living vicariously through your TR.)
Thanks so much for reading and commenting!! Touring with a bigger group is such a challenge, especially when you're not used to doing it together. I'm sorry to hear your trip got delayed, but glad it's still happening and you still have it to look forward to next year!
Love the rose gold nail polish! Your manicurist was sharing way too much info lol Usually it's the hair stylist who does that from my experience
Thanks! Yeah, she was very...open. That's a good point!
This is by far one of my favorite TR's!! Can't wait for the next update!
Thanks so much! I'm really enjoying writing it!
