Your videos were so much fun to watch! Just seeing the constant grin on your husband's face was a day brightener. I think the phrase "kid in a candy store" may apply. Glad you had a great vacation!
Thank you for posting these videos. I was able to watch them again today. It is a great way to escape the craziness right now. I hope your doing well, and staying home and isolating and staying healthy!
I hope that your feeling better now. It sucks to get so sick once you are home from a holiday. I had that happen once on my way home from Vegas once. I don't know what I picked up, but I had a flu for 4 weeks after that trip.
Thanks for a great report! I am now dreaming of visiting Galaxy's Edge. Don't listen to the critics. Some folks are just jealous. I enjoy your reports! I also enjoy watching Kira grow. <3
The day we ended up in the ER, I was Googling something and came across a very mean-spirited website that was created basically to judge, shame and belittle DISers. In a brief moment of sheer stupidity, I decided to read some of the posts and came across my name several times. It was all very petty remarks, stuff about me making up the fact that I have an auto-immune disease, my ugly baggy eyes, Kira's meal choices on one of our cruises, Rob's pants and my food choices on vacation, etc.
Life is hard and people suck.
I just found the link to this TR in your Christmas cruise report and read the whole thing. Of course now I have a lot to say because I'm commenting on it all at once. 1. Sorry you came across the nastiness of the other site - it just sucks because you can't "unsee" that stuff - but as others have said, we all enjoy reading your trip reports and at least if they are reading them they are adding to your "read count". Losers. 2. I feel extremely embarrassed that we went to SWGE last October and I couldn't have told you half the detail that you've told us in this TR! We aren't SW fans at all, and now that is in-my-face obvious as I had no clue about half the references you have here. Ha ha. I guess that does go to show that you can have no clue about SWs and still enjoy SWGE. 3. I have never been to Coronado Springs but it looks really beautiful and much nicer than I thought it would be. Too bad you only got to enjoy the pool once. 4. Sucks that you were sick at the end of the trip and sorry that you have taken so long to recover from it. DH travels a lot for business and the couple of times he has flown with a really nasty head cold the pressurization in the cabin really seems to make it worse, and then prolong it. Another great trip and thankfully you got to experience it before the lockdown began. Thanks for taking the time and sharing it - it looks like it was an awesome trip.
Hi @Timon, long time reader of your Wonder reports, first time caller. So sorry, people are such creeps on the internet when they have anonymity to protect them. I've been debating posting a TR of our Xmas 2019 trip to Galaxy's Edge but we're a pretty private family for exactly this reason. I posted one years ago but then went back and deleted all the pics of my kid. We had such a blast though, even in the driving rain, it would be fun to share. My youngest was in his stroller wearing a Kylo Ren mask and one of the stormtroopers bent over him and told him that his loyalty was appreciated, just like Rob!
I wonder if the cold you got may have been COVID? Did they test you guys for antibodies? Glad you're all feeling better!
Hello. I've read a few of your reports. Thank you for sharing your vacations.
... haters gonna hate, Cass. I like the way you handled that situation.
I almost missed this report!
To my dear Canadian friends.... I just read page 1 of your report. Whoa! Do NOT let those people get you down. Your family is so very sweet and ya'll are such cuties! I have been with you guys since before Kira was born and I have always loved reading of your adventures. I would be very sad if you decided not to share them with us.
Now I've got some nice catching up reading to do. I can't wait to find out what you guys have been up to.
Cass, keep up the good work - you are a very special person (and a great writer!).
LOL, I knew you would find it, you always do.
Did you get a chance to read it all yet?
Thanks for the always kind comments you post! It means the world to me.
There are days now where I think the next trip will NOT be documented in a trip report and then there are days where I think, whoa, how can I not do a trip report?
I enjoy reading them over when I am missing Disney and need a pick-me-up, and since my memory isn't so fantastic sometimes, it's nice to have all the details written down before I forget it all.
I have the bladder the size of a three-year-old girl so I visit a lot of bathrooms and in almost every instance, there is a long line and oftentimes, there is no need for one! It's just that the women in front of me don't see an open door so they line up. I am always the one who is bending over to check for legs and then telling the women in front of me to go ahead, that one is empty...this one is empty.
I don't know why people inherently want to stand in line but I know I don't, especially when I have to pee so I am always checking! A couple of days ago when I went to the bathroom in Galaxy's Edge, there was a line of about 5 women in front of me and I knew from experience that this bathroom is huge and has so many stalls, some around the corner, so after telling them there were more stalls, and them not moving, I went over to the empty side (yes, the entire side of stalls was empty!) and checked for feet and then literally motioned each woman that had been in front of me, by opening the stalls for them to see it was empty, to go!! By the time I got into the stall myself, ladies behind me were thanking me and two seconds later, no line!
No, I haven't read it all yet. But, I am working on it. I really feel out of sorts lately with everything that is going on. And, "working from home" from my university still doesn't feel right to me. But, when I need a pick-me-up, I know what I am going to do! I really want to be able to savor all of it.
PLEASE you must continue with your trip reports! We are all here for you and waiting for more. I enjoy living thru your adventures and I've always learned a lot of tips from ya'll.
I just came upon this today and decided to read. I was an opening day cast member at Galaxy's Edge, specifically in Savi's Workshop and was there up until the parks closed. Sadly won't be returning since I was a DCP participant and that program has been suspended indefinitely so I was separated from the company. I'd been looking to see if anyone actually went to Savi's and lo-and-behold finally found someone. Too bad I couldn't see myself in any photo or video you took (if you did, I probably would've convinced you to choose Elemental Nature lol), but I can say you were with a good crew especially Kyleigh, the gatherer who helped with Rob's saber. I'm sorry it was difficult to hear during the build, that's something we've struggled to fix for some time and that corner in particular can be very difficult. I'm glad it was still a good experience.
Also, I got to say it's very impressive how much you picked up on in the land. Most everything you mentioned were things that I was drilled on through a very long training process as well as brought up to me later on, like the mini-Millennium Falcon. I will add that R3X's story is not just Oga finding him. It was actually Mubo, the proprietor of Droid Depot, who found him and re-configured him to function as a DJ then giving him to Oga as a gift. As a result, he is the only one of all the proprietors on Batuu who doesn't owe Oga anything. The gift of DJ-R3X repaid all his debts.
Anyways, I probably could go on and on about fun facts, but thank you for sharing this trip! I'm sorry some awful trolls with nothing better to do than to tear people down in the most mean-hearted way almost made you stop from sharing it with all of us. I know it definitely made me smile. I miss meeting guests that have as much passion as this about these things.
Lovin' your report! I really enjoyed Rob's excitement over building his lightsaber and droid! Hope you don't mind me saying - he is such a cutie! (Hi Rob!!) I am not 100% a Star Wars fan (mainly I am a Chewie fan) - but I appreciate, and love seeing when others are really into it.
Got some more reading to do........
I really enjoyed reading your report! Going to go back and read some of your others next! Thanks for taking the time to share your trip!
Ha ha! This totally cracked me up. I am the same way. I'm always directing the traffic in there, too!
Your day in the MK has me really missing it right now. Seems so long ago that we were there in January 2020. The good old days!
I finished reading your report. It was wonderful and your pics are great! You write in such a way, that I feel like I am right there with you! And, as always, I am sorry it is over. PLEASE keep on posting!
Take care and hopefully it won't be long until we are all at WDW again.
Hi, there!
I was just playing around on the Dis looking for a Disney fix and found your report. I enjoyed it so much and it has me anxious to see Galaxy's Edge for myself. Our last trip ended a week before it officially opened last August. So close, yet so far.
Thank you for sharing your trip and all the amazing pictures!
