Loving your trip report! I'm flying down to WDW from Vancouver on Feb 18th and reading this is making the time fly! Can't wait!
Thank you! I hope you have a great trip!
Hi there! I fell way behind but spent a lovely Sunday morning catching up!
I can't believe all the trouble you had at the Poly. For us we seem to get our request more often when we do book through a
travel agent then when we don't. So who knows what was going on. Glad you got your king room though, even if it wasn't filled with pixie dust.
It was really weird! But fortunately everything worked out just fine in the end.
Have a great time on your February trip. How fun to get some solo time in. And when are you going in August? We just booked a trip a few weeks ago.
Thank you! Starting to get excited! I've been counting down the time by crossing the school assignments off my list. It looks like we're going Aug. 15-26th-ish. When are you down there? I was surprised how much I liked an August trip, despite the heat.
I have just read all 35 pages of your report. . . I've loved it! You and your husband remind me quite a bit of my husband and me, and reading about your wedding/honeymoon takes me back to our honeymoon at Disney in 2015 (we, unfortunately, had a "big" wedding at home instead.) Your pictures were beautiful!
Wow, you're a trooper to get through everything at this point! It's gotten really long! Disney honeymoons are so incredibly special.
I love your pixie cut. . . it's super cute!
Thanks! I really like it, and how light it is! I'm already starting to get a little bit of ponytail envy though, so I expect I'll start growing it out again eventually.
Discovery Cove has always been a dream of mine, but we've never had the chance to go. Dolphins are my favorite animals while my husband is obsessed with otters. In fact, there is a stuffed otter staring me down to the left of my computer monitor as we speak (type.) My husband does not like "split stays," which means that once we are on Disney property we do not leave. Therefore, no Harry Potter or Discovery Cove for me. His compromise is that we can go other places, but not Disney and his response to me is "I just don't think you can go to Orlando without going to Disney World." He's probably right. Anyway, I'm so happy to have experienced that through you and your report as it looks amazing.
It was really wonderful! Maybe you could convince your husband to take a cab/uber over there one day as long as you're staying on Disney property? But I kind of agree with your husband that it's so nice and convenient to stay in the Disney bubble. And after all the resort-hopping we did on our honeymoon, I'd be perfectly happy never to do another split stay again!
I can't wait to read more, and I do hope you write a February report!
Thanks! I'll definitely be writing a legit report for my Marathon Weekend trip from December/January, and I think I'll do some kind of reporting for February for sure, even if it's abbreviated.
Your trip report was keeping me company during some downtime at work (I work in design for a dinner theatre & we had just opened one show so I had a few weeks before I had to get things started for the next show). I started with your engagement report & really enjoyed it, so when I was finished, of course I had to jump into the wedding report as well! I was just reading along, sighing with all the romance and fun of it all, oohing at all the delicious food, reminiscing about our own perfect days at WDW, and enjoying the sunshine you were bringing me during the cold, depressing winter months here in the Midwest ... But now that I've caught up with you completely (wasn't expecting that! LOL), I felt like I should introduce myself and tell you how much I've enjoyed reading along.
Thanks so much for reading! I'm so glad you introduced yourself! I've read many a trip report to tide me over between trips, or during slow times at work and school.
Your wedding was absolutely gorgeous! My older daughter has always wanted the Snow White Alfred Angelo dress, so she was both completely jealous that was your dress and overwhelmingly depressed that it's been discontinued. LOL! I think she's started plotting to find a way to buy it from you at some point -- but since she's only a college sophomore (music major!) and not even dating anyone right now, you probably shouldn't be too worried about that anytime soon.
Thanks so much! Your daughter and I have that in common with the Snow White dress. It's soo beautiful! It was my dream dress, and I was really upset when I learned it was discontinued just a couple of months before I did my dress shopping. I was so glad to get it! Unless your daughter is short, though, she wouldn't want my dress! It had to be hemmed quite a bit since I'm only 5'2". I also did my first degree in Music, so she and I have lots in common!
I love that you're from Halifax! My 16-year old daughter & I did a cruise from Boston up into Canada last fall. We had ports in Bar Harbor & Portland, Maine, with a side excursion to Kennebunkport; and Canadian ports in St. John, N.B., with an excursion to Bay of Fundy, and Halifax, N.S. Our excursion there included touring Halifax and then driving up to Acadian Maple and Peggy's Cove. I fell absolutely totally in love with that area of Canada. It was just beautiful and the food was amazing and I never wanted to leave. LOL! (I'm currently sitting here at work with my Nova Scotia tartan blanket on my lap.
)
It's such a beautiful little part of the world. I'm very proud of where we're from.
Very cool that you've been to this area! Most people have no idea what's on the east coast of Canada. We're originally from N.B., and Nathan went to school for a bit in Saint John, and then we moved to Halifax a few years ago, and I love it here. Summers in Halifax are a special kind of bliss! I've been to all the places you mention, except Bar Harbour, or as my aunt from Maine calls it, "Bahh Hahhbahh." It's on my list. You came at the best time of the year, too. Maritime Canada really shines in the fall.
I realize none of that has anything to do with your amazing wedding and honeymoon, but we seem to have a lot in common and it's always nice to make new friends with people who totally get it. HaHa!!
I love that TRs are a way for the writer to get to know new online friends they'd never meet otherwise! Glad you posted!
Glad I'm not the only adult with this issue!!
I definitely asked for one when we got our first drink on the December trip.....even though it was an aluminum pint of Miller Lite LOL The bartender looked funny at me...then funnier still when I asked for a green one that he had to go in back to get LOL
Oh my goodness, I'm a huge fan of the Mickey straw!! When we went back in December and they had PURPLE ones at the little Cheshire Cat place with frozen lemonade in MK, I was beside myself! Then when we were at the food court at the resort they had a bunch of different coloured ones that you could just buy, and I was very tempted to collect them all.
Awwwwww!! I love all the matchedy matchiness of this XOXO
Have so much fun!!! I'll be following along online
Thank you!! I'm getting really excited at this point! Almost there...
