I feel you. Frisco's traffic is already a nightmare. I avoid getting off of the freeway in Frisco if at all possible!

I guess they have much more faith in the grid than I do.

I'm west metroplex and I'm intrigued. Obviously geared to younger crowd than the current parks, but it would be nice to have a little touch our home away from home closer. It's a little curious to me that they decided to come to Texas. Florida is obviously miserable in the summer, though I'd say...

Agreed. I didn't know him personally, but I read everything he wrote, so I kinda felt that I knew him. His writing was so honest and spot-on. A true loss.

Thank you for the tip! I've saved family members literally thousands today on their various trips this summer. (For the record, not a TA; I just get really excited for great deals.)

Bell services won't hold groceries, so you have to meet the delivery. Publix had a free trial, so we used that. We ordered our groceries at noon, and they texted us at 1:45 that they were on their way, and we had the groceries in hand at 2pm.

@musika I'd definitely keep an eye on RPR. Express Passes are really nice. We've never done a trip without them. This trip we spent much of our time doing things without EP (VC and Hagrids), but it was nice to have on the few things we did with waits (namely Gringotts, Minions, and Simpsons).

We Made It Home! Well, we did it, folks. We finally made it home. Only 3 days later than we anticipated. We had such a fantastic time. Like I said, we never do anything like this, and it will be something that we will always remember. Here are a few final thoughts. Crowds In my completely...

DD's HP favs, in order, are Hagrids, Gringotts, Forbidden Journey, HE to Diagon Alley, HE to Hogsmeade, and then Flight of the Hippogriff. She prefers the sidecar on Hagrids because she says that the lap bar hurts her when she leans over to grab the handlebars. And she's a tall 10yo (5'2")...

Saturday February 5 At one point during the week, we were supposed to wake up early on Saturday and go straight to the airport, but due to the canceling and rebooking saga we had a little extra time on Saturday morning. Once again, we opted not to do early entry (making us 0/6 on the trip). DD...

Friday February 4 No surprise here: We did not get up and at ‘em for the early entry. We took our time getting ready, and then DD and DH (who took the day off) went ahead to the VC. When they arrived a little before 10, it was reporting a 35 minute wait. It took them 22 minutes to get on the...

Y'all. My flight for tomorrow was cancelled. We are seriously never going home. Updates to follow.

Thursday February 3 We woke up to see the pictures and temps back home, and we were thrilled that we made the right decision. It was about 20 at home, but about 85 in Orlando. The only kicker was that we only brought clothes that were good for up to about 72 degrees (which the what the weather...

I don't usually post pictures because I seem to always fail, but I'm gonna try. Here's a picture from our security camera of our driveway this morning: And here's a pic of DD: #winning

Here now (RPR) without a car and we needed some supplies (you can read why in my trip report). Talked to concierge and she recommended a delivery service through Publix. We've never used grocery delivery before, either on vacation or at home. We placed the order and someone delivered our...

We've done VC several times this week. Longest posted wait was 55 minutes, and the longest we actually waited was 35. We've never opted to do early entry. We've had good luck going in the 60-90 minutes prior to close (early close at 7pm this week) and then jumping in Hagrid's line just before...

Haha! We are a group of three, so one of us always has someone from single rider join us. Yesterday, I was partnered with a tall guy who said to me "I'm sure you'll understand that I need to be on the bike." And I said, "You go stand in the full stand-by line and then you can be on the bike." He...

We are hearing from family this morning that we made the right decision. We live west of Tarrant, so I just don't think we could have made it home without encountering some treacherous weather from Love. Hope the lights stay on for ya!

Wednesday February 2 When we left on Sunday, we thought Wednesday would be our last day. But because now we’re staying until Saturday, we had some more planning to do. DH was going to take Wednesday off to play in the parks and then travel home. But he decided to work on Wednesday and play on...

Tuesday February 1—Afternoon We were on a such a high after we extended our stay at RPR and I changed our flights. Like, we don’t do anything like that. Ever. We are the least spontaneous people on the planet. It seemed highly surreal. It took some time to get everything rebooked and replanned...
