    The Joys of Traveling with Three Kids RPR Club Level 8 nights! 7/2018

    So enjoying your report. I just love the early morning alone with the parks... I left my adult kids sleeping in the hotel many times during our last trip so that I could enjoy the different atmosphere of the quieter mornings....

    Michael Myers returns..and so do we....19 Fabulous nights of HHN, RP & SF Sept/Oct 2018

    I love the idea of the train instead of the car. I loathe driving home after a long flight. Sitting and having someone else do that duty is a real pleasure! So sorry about the kerfluffle with your son's keys... There is something about departing for a trip that makes those types of moments...

    Scary tight fit on Harry Potter Forbidden Journey during breakdown

    I've also been on FJ when it broke down, right at the spider scene, with my friend terrified of spiders, losing her mind..... but for me Mantra at SW was the absolute worst. Like you, the ride broke during the brake run at the end....but it was at least 10 minutes of face forward immobalized...

    Graduation Trip - June 17-23 2018 - Portofino Bay

    And here we are from this trip... I did the photo pass 1 year of downloads for annual passholders. It was $79.99 and is good for one year. While for sure there aren't as many photographers as at Disney, they were definitely there. I thought it was worth it as we got a bunch of nice photos and...

    Graduation Trip - June 17-23 2018 - Portofino Bay

    We are back! I actually started the week keeping notes... that petered out... but I have a pretty good idea of what we did (at least the first part of the week!). We really had a fabulous time. We absolutely loved PB. The resort is really gorgeous and even though a little bit farther away...

    Graduation Trip - June 17-23 2018 - Portofino Bay

    Once we were situated, we hightailed it to the park to get our passes activated and also the photo pass. Took a bit longer than I'd like, but I was glad we'd done it then.... the next morning the lines were soooo much longer. All activated, we entered IOA just at 9 (park closed at 10) and went...

    Graduation Trip - June 17-23 2018 - Portofino Bay

    Fun is being had! Once we (finally) got our luggage, our driver Ron took us to Portofino Bay, with a quick stop at Publix for snacks and drinks... Portofino Bay is super impressive. First impressions really good. We got my request for West Wing which is closer to the boat launch. Ended up...

    Graduation Trip - June 17-23 2018 - Portofino Bay

    Arrived about 30 mins ago into MCO. Nice flight, uneventful... Been waiting for luggage, they can't unload planes... lightning in area... Ugh.... I'm about a 4 on the feeling crappy meter. I actually prefer sitting on a luggage carousel, feeling a bit crappy to feeling good, and at work....so...

    Graduation Trip - June 17-23 2018 - Portofino Bay

    Thanks for the comments!! Tomorrow is the big day.... I'm about a 5 out of 10 on the "feeling crappy" scale. :sick: I've just decided that it is what it is and fun will be had regardless. Which is funny, since this isn't at all my normal reaction to these things... but what can ya do?? We are...
