We really loved Typhoon Lagoon! I'm sure it helped that it was a low crowd day too. We could have easily spent longer there.

April 28th, 2018 - Saturday Time to go home. Boy was this part hard. We were all sad, but Quinn most of all! At the airport, while we waited for our flight, we had a moment of serendipity. We bumped into Quinn’s current 4th grade teacher! She was visiting Florida with her daughter! They...

Friday, April 27 2018 - Typhoon Lagoon Weather - Sunny, mid 80’s Typhoon Lagoon is a beautiful park and easily the best waterpark I have ever visited. We chose TL over Blizzard Beach for several reasons. Probably the number one reason was that we come from a place with some of the highest...

Magic Kingdom continued... Around this time we went on Pooh, but I forgot to jot that one down, so I’m not sure exactly what order it came in. I don’t recall having ever been on this ride, so it all felt new to me! We got another fastpass for it and so we basically walked right on with maybe...

Magic Kingdom continued... We headed next to the Under the Sea ride, an area of the park which I somehow managed to miss completely on our last visit. Ariel has a pretty impressive castle! Last time I was in this part of the park, it looked like this: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in...

The holidays have kept me really busy, but I'm back with more of my trip report! Magic Kingdom! - Thursday. April 26, 2018 TP prediction: 6 Actual: 4 Miles walked: 9.9! Weather: Sunny, mid 80’s Quinn asked to save the best for last, and I decided that Thursday decided like a good day to hit...

Thanks for reading! :flower1: We tried to strike a balance between relaxing and seeing as much as we could. I did the whole touring plan thing and tried to be realistic about how and what we could fit into our day. I also made an effort to build in down time! I know that's how we usually...

Kitchen Kabaret was a little animatronic show that focused on nutrition. The stage was a kitchen and all the food items would talk and sing. They knew something was up with Beverly. Quinn had already heard me talking about it early on, but he was game to try it anyway. Matt knew something...

Epcot continued... I wouldn’t have known about Club Cool at all if it weren’t for the Dis. After hearing about it though, I knew that I had to work it into our plans! We had fun trying all the free samples of sodas from around the world. I think Japan’s was my favorite. Some of them I found...

Epcot - Wednesday, April 25, 2018 TP prediction: 5 Actual: 3 Miles Walked: 8.5 Weather: another beautiful sunny day in the low 80’s! We got to the bus stop at outside Jambo House at 8 am for a 9 am opening. We ended up having terrible luck this morning. The Epcot bus didn’t arrive until 8:45...

Resort and Disney Springs day - Tuesday, April 24, 2018 Total Miles walked: 4? Weather: Sunny, low 80’s. Today was our “rest” day, although we still ended up walking at least 3-4 miles! We started out by sleeping in and then having a buffet breakfast at Boma at 10:15 am. Disney buffet...

Thanks for reading along! I think Quinn enjoyed meeting with the characters more than he thought he would! I'm so glad he got to meet King Louie. Baloo kept trying to steal the show with all his antics, and he was fun too. :thanks: Glad you stopped by!

That second RnR ride pic is one of my favorites! Matt got in with a great group of riders for that pic. I can't help but wonder what they thought of it when they saw it too - probably something like, "Whoa! Check out that crazy yelling guy we got in our car!" :laughing:

I know...we keep saying how much we want to go back already, but at the same time, I'm not sure any trip can live up to this one! We got very lucky with crowds, weather, etc. Then again, some of our great luck was due largely in part by all our advance planning - and all the great advice I got...

Hollywood Studios continued... Meanwhile, Matt was enjoying his ride on the Tower of Terror. I think Matt was the only one actually holding on. Next up was the Launch Bay! Matt sent me a text saying he was at some movie theater, so I assumed it was the Star Wars movie in the Launch Bay, but...

Hollywood Studios - Monday, April 23, 2018 TP crowd prediction: 6 Actual: 3 Total Miles Walked: 6.4 Weather: 80’s, overcast Before leaving Animal Kingdom the day before, we had stopped at guest services to pick up some celebration buttons. We got Quinn a “First Visit” button for him to wear...

That's an interesting possibility! He still talks about the trip and how much fun it was. He can't wait to go back someday and so can't I! We were there at a pretty good crowd time, so I don't know if mobile order is always that good. But several times we just waltzed on past long lines of...

Quinn's at the age now where he knows the characters aren't real, but just seeing King Louie and Baloo like that, all larger than life, is still special. I was surprised by how much I ended up enjoying meeting characters this trip too! :dogdance:

I've lost touch with friends over the years. Maybe that's something I should try to remedy.

Animal Kingdom continued... I don’t know what the backstory is behind the Maharajah Jungle Trek, but I really love the theming Disney has done here. You really feel like you are walking among an ancient palace ruin and there are little surprises around every corner. It’s the most beautiful of...
