Wow good to know!!

I am so in with this beautiful resort!
I never thought this day would come, especially when I was wrangling three littles, then managing the ups and downs of the teenage years with three boys. But it is official! We have three empty bedrooms in a very quiet house!
We then headed for the People Mover even though he did not
understand the need for the iconic foot photo!
Thanks Meghan! I am really happy for them and they are settling in and finding their way. I am used to Jack being away as he is 4th year but no rascals at home leaves the house very quiet. Jack is not the biggest Magic Kingdom fan....much more an Epcot or AK fan.Great picture! And I think CSR is beautiful, too <3
Congrats, Mama! Enjoy the quiet and flexibility that comes with this new season, but know that they always still need their parents. Hope your boys are enjoying the start to the school year and keeping safe and healthy.
Haha! Just got with it, Jack! It's a thing!
Air conditioning has got to be one of the best inventions ever.I was never so thankful for air conditioning!
Score!were pleasantly surprised to have a room available at 2:30 pm.
If you ever seen "The Shining" that's exactly how I felt about the hallways at the Boardwalk.
Sorry it didn't hit the right note with you.I prefer a more secluded feel with an "away from the hustle and bustle" vibe so the Boardwalk being in the middle of everything wasn't my favourite.
Not bad!the one advantage of being in the back of beyond was a "secret exit" door that made the walk to Studios about ten minutes
Long time for Florida!the heavens opened and it poured for about an hour and a half!
I love nothing more than an evening of strolling World Showcase and was thrilled to be back in one of my favourite parks.
That just proves that you are the treasure at the end of the rainbow.I made my official photographer take a picture of his happy mother, even though it looks like the rainbow is growing out of my head, lol!
Must've been good.We each had an order of spanakopita that disappeared before I could think to take a picture.
High praise indeed!Next up was Japan where we were blown away by the Teriyaki Chicken Bun: Steamed Bun filled with Chicken, Vegetables and Teriyaki (my choice) and the Tempura Shrimp Sando: Crunchy Shrimp served with Yuzu Crab, Green Onions and Eel Sauce served on a Bun (Jack loved this so much he went back for a second).
This is the one I'd want. Sounds so good!Jack had the Roast Bratwurst in a Pretzel Roll.
Pretty.The sun was setting as we walked towards China and I was able to capture a bit of the evening sky.
mmmm... that sounds really good too.Jack went for the Pan-fried Chicken Dumplings with House-made Sweet and Spicy Sauce. He loved these.
I'd order that!We also had the Kung Fu Master: Absolut Vodka, Triple Sec, Mango Syrup and Orange Juice which was the most generous pour I have ever seen.
We split this and it was a good thing or I would have been weaving around World Showcase.
The proximity to the quiet pool was great and the one advantage of being in the back of beyond was a "secret exit" door that made the walk to Studios about ten minutes.
Off to Hollywood Studios in the morning.....will we ride RotR?? Stay tuned!
The very best! Thanks Uncle Orville!Air conditioning has got to be one of the best inventions ever.
It's a lovely resort but just not my favourite. Give me Wilderness Lodge, Coronado Springs or Animal Kingdom Lodge any day. I like my resort to be a respite from the parks.Sorry it didn't hit the right note with you.
That short walk made our next two days so much more manageable.Not bad!
I kept telling Jack "It's going to stop any minute, it never rains for long in Florida." Except this time it did.Long time for Florida!
It was fantastic! So fresh and delicious!High praise indeed!
Jack inhaled it! He said the pretzel roll was fab and the bratwurst was so juicy and flavourful.This is the one I'd want. Sounds so good!
It was so good....dangerous in a good way, lol!I'd order that!
Apparently you get different versions of the ride. We were blown away by it.That's a win for sure!!
Crossing fingers!! That's one of the reasons I want to go back...I can't wait to ride again...once was not enough!!
Food and Wine was just incredible, we loved it! The great thing about all the different resorts at Disney is that there is something for everyone. That's one reason I am really enjoying split stays right now to get a feel for different resorts.We loved our time at F&W this last trip, so many delicious treats and drinks!
I agree about BWV, great location but not my favorite resort and yes The Shining, so true!
We have stayed at Beach Club (club level with a great discount) and Yacht Club. Yacht Club is our favourite although I am not a fan of the new lobby decor at all. Now that I have DVC I'd love to get in to Beach Club villas for a couple of nights but the rooms go fast there if you don't own at that resort.Food and wine sounds great. Your photo of sunset is beautiful. I agree with you on the Boardwalk- great location but I’ve never been tempted to stay there. We tend to stay at YC/BC. Same location but more relaxed vibe
Boy that sent me down a rabbit hole.The very best! Thanks Uncle Orville!
I get that.It's a lovely resort but just not my favourite. Give me Wilderness Lodge, Coronado Springs or Animal Kingdom Lodge any day. I like my resort to be a respite from the parks.
"Mom... you lied to me!"I kept telling Jack "It's going to stop any minute, it never rains for long in Florida." Except this time it did.
mmmm... <drool>Jack inhaled it! He said the pretzel roll was fab and the bratwurst was so juicy and flavourful.
I made my official photographer take a picture of his happy mother, even though it looks like the rainbow is growing out of my head, lol!
Jack is not the biggest Magic Kingdom fan....much more an Epcot or AK fan.
That's always one of my favourite hopping combos. I love Epcot in the evening.Mk in the morning and Epcot for Food and Wine in the evening...sounds like an absolutely wonderful day.
Those elementary school years are so sweeet and precious but it all goes by so fast! You know what they always say "the days are long but the years are short." So true! We had a great time overall but there were definitely some not so rosy moments too.I just have to say, I am really enjoying reading about your mother/son trip. Landon's much more into Disney than Evie is, so I have a feeling he's going to be my park buddy when he gets older. And reading about how much fun you and Jack had makes me excited to reach that point one day. (I did giggle at the empty nesters post, only because right now I'm in the thick of elementary school drop offs and running around for project supplies and park playdates that the college days seem like an eternity away! )
Thank you!This is great! The double rainbow is beautiful and you look lovely and happy
I really love Animal Kingdom. If I had to pick it would be my #1.I will always love the Magic Kingdom, but I'd say that EPCOT and AK are probably my two faves, so I can understand that for sure.
This sounds good! We didn't have this last time so going to put it on list for later this monthNext up was Japan where we were blown away by the Teriyaki Chicken Bun: Steamed Bun filled with Chicken, Vegetables and Teriyaki (my choice)
This I've had before! I like it but it is heavy; heavier I think than the majority of other festival dishes! So I try not to get it anymore lol just because it takes up too much room in my bellyNext up we headed to Germany, where I went for the Schinkennudeln: Pasta Gratin with Ham, Onions and Cheese
It was fabulous! My only F&W regret was not getting it again.This sounds good! We didn't have this last time so going to put it on list for later this month
Exactly how I felt. The serving size was so generous, it was almost like a meal in itself!This I've had before! I like it but it is heavy; heavier I think than the majority of other festival dishes! So I try not to get it anymore lol just because it takes up too much room in my belly
We are Wilderness Lodge girls, through and through. I could happily stay there every trip. The great thing about Disney is that there is a perfect resort for everyone.Aw I like the Boardwalk! I mean we did have that one terrible stay there in 2015 but we've had great stays there too and will be there in Dec. Yeah the rooms could use a refresh; we did stay 1 night last year and it was fine though but you know it's not my favorite resort!
Hooray!Off to Hollywood!
Yikes! So glad ROTR boarding groups are a thing of the past now.Sadly despite our best efforts, all groups were gone within 3 seconds!
It really is incredible, isn't it?We were both blown away by the immersive theming.
I wouldn't mind that.We were hoping to be pilots but ended up as gunners instead.
Not bad!Midway Mania was only showing a 20 minute wait.
I had my official photographer take a picture in Galaxy's Edge. He thought my choice of location was boring but all I cared about at this point was shade!
Careful what you wish for!" I don't care how FP comes back, I'd rather pay money for it than deal with this."
Our 20 minute wait ended up being close to 45 minutes.
People just sitting taking up space?They really need to do a better job in ensuring people sitting at tables there are actually eating as it was so difficult to get somewhere to sit.
I'm with Jack on this one.Jack went for the classic Ronto Wrap while I had the Zucci wrap.
Oh, that's too bad.Jack had not had enough water this morning and was getting a headache
Even though I hadn't dressed for a Galaxy's Edge picture and was wearing my runaway railroad dress, I had my official photographer take a picture in Galaxy's Edge. He thought my choice of location was boring but all I cared about at this point was shade!
Would our luck change? Would this day turn around? That's coming up next!
