We're going on a Merrytime Cruise out of San Diego this November. If it empowers you to go full-holiday, my brother and I are going to wear Christmas Onesies we bought from the parks a few years ago. We're hoping to snag a photo with Santa. Also, did I mention that my bro and I are in our early 30s?

I'm enthusiastically looking forward to your posts. I'm doing the same cruise itinerary you are in November, but aboard the Magic. Can't wait to see what your trip report has in store!

I've stayed at the Springhill Suites by the port on a recent Sea World trip. The rooms were clean/up-to-date, and they had a really nice complimentary breakfast with plenty of options.

Think of this post as a "choose your own adventure"-kinda post. You can read all of the following fluffy background for added context, or just jump straight to the heading about what "My Concerns & Questions" are, to get to the good stuff. I'll be upfront; this is going to read like a...

Hey There GeneralTso! I booked a VIP Tour experience that was similar to your circumstances this apst August; we had 8 adults, and one teenager in our party, started off at Animal Kingdom Lodge - Jambo House, and did close to your 7 hours, with 8 hours total with our guide. If you want to see...

Day 1 (Part 3): Our First Park & Resort! And just like that... we were on our way to our first park! We left Polynesian Village and made our way to our first park for the trip, Animal Kingdom! We waited a good half hour for a bus to Animal Kingdom. At this point, the lack of sleep started to hit...

Aww, thanks for the welcome. I'm sure we some of that Disney Photopass magic helped with making us look good with the lack of sleep we had on Day 1.

Thanks for the enthusiasm! I'm far from a pro. I think all the planning in the world can be done, but all that planing should be to be prepared for what's most likely to come with a loose schedule and you have to be open flexibility, instead of going in with thinking you know EVERYTHING that's...

Day 0 & 1(Part 2): "Our Arrival at Walt Disney World!" In the last chapter of our story of adventure, we were just arriving at MCO. If it wasn't clear, the combination of no sleep and a time change, and when arriving the newly realized humidity of Orlando had us tired and jet lagged. Like I...

Day 0 & 1 (Part 1): Our Adventure Begins! Oh no, where has the time gone? It's been almost 4 months since I've introduced our little roster of characters for this trip! What better time to get back in the game of trip-reporting than the holidays? I apologize for leaving you guys all hanging, but...

They all utilize the FP line. They just park the vehicle that drives you between/around parks backstage at locations that are just offstage, but close to the onstage entrance of attractions. Your cast member is really an unlimited Fastpass for the length of your tour.

I just did my first, and maybe only for quite a while, Private VIP tour at the beginning of this month. We had 9 people in our group, and I thought it was more than worth it. By no means do I even remotely consider us wealthy; this clearly a splurge for us. I had originally planned to do one of...

Introductions: "Our Origin Story" Ah, where to begin? Well, I guess we might as well start from the very beginning! The little spark that lead to this trip. It's a fun little story, but I'll try to keep it short (I'm tend to get very long-winded). Also, there's quite a bit featured in our...

Hey there, friends! I'm Jeff, and I'd like to welcome everyone to my travel party's trip report! It'll recall our perspectives on experiences and adventures we experiences during our August 2018 trip to Walt Disney World. There were a few mistakes made, lessons learned, and a quite a few photos...

Had a cake delivered to our villa at Bay Lake Tower to celebrate a celebration of 9 people; a combination of adult cousins and "cousins" (significant others), collectively known as our 'Ohana. The kind people at the Contemporary were great at making an 'Ohana-centric 8-inch cake with Lilo and...

Based on my last stay at Pop Century, a few years ago, the water had a very funky "minerality" to it. For this trip, we'll be staying at Bay Lake Towers, with a group of 9. While buying cases of bottled waters seems to be the go-to, we are a bigger group and it could get costly/wasteful with...

Hey there, friend. Yeah, one-of-a-kind, ___(your name here)___! Since we're such good friends, I thought I'd look to you for advice, perhaps even approval on the plans I have for a particular day I have planned at Walt Disney World. On this particular day we're going to be taking advantage of...

Well, it looks like you bypassed Hollywood Studios Attractions? Hmm, maybe if we avoided those attractions in Magic Kingdom that have counterparts at Disneyland, there might be an opportunity to do all 4 parks for us. it still remains an impressive list, and leaves hope for us yet that we can...

UPDATE: We now have the Private VIP Tour booked! We're going to be doing it on our 3rd day with a relatively late start of 2:45pm. It'll give us a chance to sleep in, and maybe take in some Magic Kingdom attractions via Fastpass+ selection before the tour. We'll most likely take in some sort of...

I was leaning toward this idea, but just wanted to get the voice of others, some may even say "clarity", on the situation. I originally planned on having he Ultimate Day of Thrills VIP Tour on that Friday because I've read that it ends at Hollywood Studios, and on that particular day it has EMH...
