Part I of II When we arrived home from our August 2008 trip, Sarah and I both suffered “Disney Withdrawal” pretty badly. Partly, we were upset because we knew it would be at least a year before we’d be going back. Well, suffice to say, that year delay between trips did not happen, as our
Chapter 4: EPCOT Center’s Food & Wine & Beer & Whiskey Festival: That morning, we had some slight setbacks that had me concerned that we wouldn’t get to EPCOT by 8 a.m. For the start of morning extra magic hours. When we left our room at 7:25, I thought we had no shot. By complete
Chapter 1: The Three “P”s — Peer Pressure & Planning: This trip was born around the beginning of the year, when a couple of my Flickr contacts informed me of a photography oriented trip they would be taking in October with some other folks from Flickr (see above cast list for links to their photography).
Usually, when those of us who write trip reports sit down and touch quill to papyrus (what, the rest of you who write trip reports don’t do your initial drafts on papyrus?!) the trips are relatively fresh in our minds. For today’s post, I am going to break several trip reporting customs, including the misconception
This is Part 3 of 3 in our Walt Disney World Honeymoon trip report. To view Parts 1 and 2, please visit our Walt Disney World “Disneymoon” trip report index page. The next morning we were up bright and early to get checked out and checked into Old Key West before our 11:30 a.m. ADRs
The next day was another Magic Kingdom day. Since we only had an hour and a half before lunch reservations, we decided to do our Monorail resort tour first, so my parents could see the decorations at the Grand Floridian (we had already been to the Polynesian, which wasn’t exactly loaded with decorations–what happened to
The next day we started out at Magic Kingdom. I think my parents sensed that they’d be getting up much earlier than us, so this day they headed out before us, and we met them at the park. The crowds were much heavier than I expected, with swarms of young cheerleaders with some sort of
Part III of III: Disney California Adventure Day The next morning was another late start. We arrived at California Adventure around 10 a.m., and immediately headed over to the Grizzly River Run FastPasses to get our World of Color tickets. Quite the line, but we were fully expecting this. With tickets for the second showing
Welcome to our Christmas 2010 Walt Disney World Trip Report! For those of you who have been following our Saga in our other reports, thank you for joining us once again! For those first time readers, thanks for opening this thread–we hope it doesn’t disappoint! The trip began in its typical manner, under chaotic circumstances.
CHAPTER III: Our Kingdom Awaits Given the late start, there was little point to head to the Studios, especially since the attractions we most wanted to experience would likely have long waits and far-away FastPass windows, and we were only planning on staying in the Studios until noon. Instead, we headed off to the Magic
Part II of III Our Space Mountain FastPass was finally available for use, so we headed over to ride our third consecutive Disneyland Mountain Range attraction. We considered going for the clean sweep by hitting up Splash after this, but it was fairly dark after we exited Space, and we had no interest in being
