Hello Everyone,

A new fun in the sun trip report is starting now! Yippee!

My name is Caroline and this is my third trip report! I travel with my sweet and beautiful daughter, Andi to WDW. We have been doing mom and daughter trips for quite a few years now. We have increased our trips because we have AP’s. Our AP’s expire on 5/3/18 so we had to get a winter trip in!

Our travel dates were 2/17-2/24/18. We stayed at BLT in a lake view studio, which was awesome! We unfortunately had to change our plans some because of illness:crazy2::sick:. For those of you, who have followed my PTR, knew we were suppose to leave on 2/14 in the evening and spend three nights at PoP Century. We had plans to do the DAH on 2/15 but I had to cancel these three nights and the DAH. I will not bore you all with the gross details but I got really sick, I haven’t had a stomach virus in over 15 years and of course I got it bad. I was down for the count for over a week!

We were able to cancel the 3 nights without much loss, I did lose a little money with flight changes, however I was surprised it wasn’t more. I had mentioned I was ill and they took this into account and did not charge me the $200. Change fee, just the amount of the cost difference of the flight on 2/17, which was more expensive.

The TA I use was able to get my money back for the PoP stay because it was at the 5 day window, so that was good. Disney was also very understanding and gave me a gift card for the amount of money I spent for the DAH event. I was happy with this because technically the tickets are non refundable. Our trip was cut from 10 nights to 7 nights.:scared:

Okay now you all are caught up on the changes so we will get this report started. This was a wonderful trip, we had a few Dis meets, beautiful weather, delicious food, awesome park days, and we spent some time with friends from our city!

Here is my first picture at the Bubblegum wall and Andi’s 999th pose at the wall.

Hopping over from the last TR. sorry you were so sick but glad you could salvage most of the trip
 


I'm here, Caroline! Looking forward to it!!

So sorry to hear you got so sick! That's my worst nightmare. :(

Your bubblegum wall shots are cute! I made sure to snap a couple pictures there this time, too.
 
I'm here!

Ugh, so sorry to hear about you getting sick! And on top of Andi having been sick on the end of your last trip :sad2: I'm glad that you were able to postpone your trip without too many loses, but shortening a trip is never fun. All that said, it sounds like you had a wonderful time once you did get there, and I'm so excited to be onboard for another Caroline & Andi adventure! :goodvibes
 
Oh nooo, I'm sorry to hear you got sick and had to alter your plans! I'm glad everyone was pretty accomodating and you avoided losing out on too much money.

Love your pic in front of the bubblegum wall! :thumbsup2

Hi, Welcome, Thank you for following along! You sure are right being sick is no fun especially when it coincides with a WDW vacation, ugh!

Hi Everyone,
I will be back this evening to get started with Day I. I just wanted to mention a funny coincidence. Andi is fuming, lol! While we were on our trip, Andi was mentioning how much Disney could benefit from a purple wall magic band, she said so many girls her age would buy them in a heart beat! Now we are home and yesterday she shows me an article form Disney, they are starting to sell Meet me at the purple wall magic bands!

I joked with her and told her Disney big wigs must have been listening to her and ran with her idea:rotfl2:
