Shhh! Youre Ruining the Magic! A Familys First Disney Trip Report!
Hi there! We returned this week from our first Disney vacation. The PDD has set in, so I figured there is no better way to combat that depression than by reliving it through a trip report. Lucky you!
For the back story, feel free to check out my little PTR
Here
For the short version, here goes:
Me: Caitlin, 29. Disney addict and trip planning obsessed.
DH: Ben, 31. Loves Disney, but mostly just happy to get a break from work.
DD1: Bethany, 5 (turning 6 next week). Loves all things princess and is also a budding adrenaline junkie.
DD2: Becca, 3. Also loves princesses, wants to be like her sister and was often sad on this trip to not be big enough for thing.
DS: Greg, 18 months. We call him Gigs. He is constantly moving and the busiest kid I know. He loved every ride he could do, probably because it got him out of the stroller.
This trip report will also include Bens parents, who we will just call Grandma and Grandpa. They are the reason for the trip, as they generously offered to take us.
The quick rundown: 6 nights, 7 days at POR. 5 park days, no hoppers. 6 character meals. A mom who planned obsessively and a family who willingly followed along.
This was a really great trip. I was instantly in my happy place. Things mostly went smoothly there are always issues when travelling with young kids, but nothing too terrible. Im looking forward to reliving all of the fun we had!
Short disclaimer: I have a list of every activity we did but didnt take many notes otherwise, so I am going off of memory in terms of details. Also, our camera isnt great, so picture quality is pretty crappy, and at other times we just didnt take many photos (too much kid juggling). However, I will still do my best to keep it interesting. Please let me know if you decide to follow along!
