We have a sleigh ride booked on our only AK day and we were debating whether it was worth the runaround (7:25 Sleigh ride (internal bus); 9 pm Boma and then back to Poly for fireworks)Just got to Ft Wilderness yesterday evening- the decorations people put up here are no joke! The kids did the hokey pokey with chip and dale at the big campfire and we tucked in for an early morning at MK.
We almost didn't make it into MK this morning- DS16 forgot his magic band and both DH and I had no id on us. We rope dropped Fantasyland and mine train was down so we did peter pan and pooh. I think it was then I looked at the phone and saw that 6 rides were down! We did dumbo and mermaid then haunted mansion when it came back up and barnstormer when it came back up. I think SD mine train was still down at this point. Lines started to get long so we hopped on the regular train before the parade. (Santa!!). We had the toon town circus tables all to ourselves for lunch, then did carousel of progress.
Then, we got our Disney magic. As we left we happened upon the Calvalcade, ended up following it out of the park, dancing all the way. I hope every day is this good!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your family as well!I wish everyone a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and a happy new year! My family and I did a monorail bar crawl today - Contemporary and Polynesian weren't too bad crowd wise but Grand Floridian was a little hectic lol. Now we're on our way to dinner. Also we grabbed a last minute reservation at Kona Cafe and it was pretty good. WAY better than it was pre refurb where I thought it was mediocre. Hope everyone had a great day today! (That's me at the Polynesian tree btw)
We did the sleigh ride a couple weeks ago. While we enjoyed it, I think it sounds like a lot to squeeze in with your other plans. I would skip it.We have a sleigh ride booked on our only AK day and we were debating whether it was worth the runaround (7:25 Sleigh ride (internal bus); 9 pm Boma and then back to Poly for fireworks)
Do the pony rides start at 11 am? Was hoping to take the younger kids pony riding but dad and big sister will be riding horses at the same time.
For the first time ever we didn’t rope drop. Arrived at the Epcot parking area around 9:45. Walked in and realized Guardians was down and everything else seemed packed. We headed to WS instead and it also felt packed but all of a sudden our BG was called and after we rode Guardians everything seemed thinned out. We did all the headliners, ate at all the booths we wanted to and kids did their Olaf scavenger hunt. It wound up being our fave Epcot day yet!My DH and DD said Epcot was busy this morning. But they had no problems doing the things they wanted to do and avoided the crowd. They even took the time to play with some of the video games after Spaceship Earth
Ack!!! That is an awful way to start your vacation! Hope you guys get some rest today to recover.Just got moving from ORD on Mears (Spirit). Sat 40 mins on the tarmac then had to wait for people who had connections; spent another hour trying to juggle kids through the airport and trying to see if the stroller was salvageable. Our Joovy Caboose ultralight’s tire was completely torn off by Spirit. Already exhausted. Ordered a new one off of Amazon and it wont be delivered until Friday ($250). Now trying to figure out how to rent a stroller or buy umbrella ones for the next two days.
Sorry to hear about illness interrupting your trip. You may want to repeat the covid tests in a couple days. I know of many people who test negative two or three times before it registers positive.Well, after doing great for a couple of days, DD is sick again And so am I now. On the good side, it’s definitely not covid (I brought rapid tests). Nor any of this year’s common flus as I got my booster + the flu shot a week before coming.
We’re likely canceling tomorrow’s NYEE plans at MK. What a bummer.
DD has only used maybe 7-8 days of her 14 day ticket. This trip has been rather a bust.
Thankfully our family has remained in relatively good spirits and we are focused on rest and recovery.
