It is time to start a new trip report. Our trip will start later on today, hopefully we will be on the road at 10. I have no clue how long it is going to take us to get there from North Carolina. Last two times that we went, we took our RV. This time we are taking the Toyota Prius. We are not staying at the Fort this trip. I am a member of the DVC, no Fort DVC please, and decided to book at Bay Lake Tower (BLT) for this upcoming trip. Somehow it worked out that I had enough points for a week at a 2-bedroom Lake view. We will see what view I will actually get. We do not check in to B

I am in. Resort looks real nice.

Not all dogs are scared of Thunder and they all handle it a different way. Service dogs need to be able to handle all situations. What would happen if a person had a service dog that was scared of thunder. That person would not be able to do things when it thunders, when a loud bang happens, when vehicles beep or an alarm goes off. The people that have service dogs rely on their dog for help. They can not have a dog that gets scared from sounds. Bringing the dog to the MK is a perfect way to test the dog out one of the worst case situations for the dog.

TCD thanks for the tip and I promise not to do anything that would harm your daughters work. I think it is awesome that she loves Disney so much and is doing very well at her job.

Cool, I will look for her on Friday. Hopefully she is working.

I think FP+ is allowing people to NOT have to go to Rope Drop. They don't have to run all over the place to get FP they know they can get on certains rides. It is for those that make late FP+ or people that did not make any at all.

With a bigger group you should like the Treehouses. The extra bedroom makes a huge difference. Also, since your children are older, those steps are not so bad. Even though I hated those steps with strollers and carrying a little one up and down, I really enjoyed the treehouse.

That is great that you were able to get a balloon for them. It shows traditions can continue on where you are, you may have to modify it. The beach seemed to be a perfect place, however the Rose Garden at the MK would not have been a bad spot.

So it looks like they have split Anna and Elsa and kicked Aurora out. When my DW and DD waited in line Anna and Elsa were together and you ot pictures of them together, then went to go see Aurora. This will probably make the line go a little bit faster.

Great TR, don't worry about taking more pictures. Enjoy the Fort and WDW. If picture taking is something that you enjoy and have time to do, then do it. I enjoy just reading about peoples adventures. I know my TR are mainly pictures of my DD. I try to take pictures that I think are interesting, but most of the time the camera is with my DW and I only have my phone with me.

Thanks, it is fun. They sleep well on Saturday and Sunday night, but most dogs are back at being their energetic selves on Monday.

I guess I should finish off the rest of the trip report. We left off on Thursday morning, the Thursday before Memorial Weekend and right before the 24 Hour Event. I would have stayed for the 24 Hour event however I had to go to Winchester, Va. That is a long drive from Walt Disney World, especially driving in an RV. Luckily we do not have to drive through DC to get there, but there is no highway that is direct once you get into Virginia, unless you want to add on miles. So we took 17 with the traffic lights. We stayed overnight someplace in Virginia and finished the drive on Friday Morn

Thanks

Full, with pictures and INFO. First Page.

Yep, that is why I only eat there because of the characters. Beats spending in line at the parks.

Awesome on getting to ride the Mine Train later on for all three of you. So it looks like the delay worked out in your favor.

Time to move on. For Dinner we went to HDDR. My DD loves this show. It was a whole different cast. There was only one person that was the same. However, they all did a great job. They even threw in some Frozen jokes. Six Bits asked Jim Handy if he wanted to build a snowman, then when he got in trouble for asking that, told to just "Let It Go!" It was nice seeing them being able to improvise and add that to the show. No pictures from that night since we have been so many times. The next day was departure day. We had a LONG drive to Winchester, Va. We were going to drive most of t

Thanks.

Breakfast was done early and my DD wanted to ride the Ponies again. Yes, I said again. I know she rode earlier in the trip but forget which day. Well, it was before 10 and we had some time to kill. Walking around the area we heard some noises coming from the Blacksmith. I have seen them before, but my DD has never seen them. So we walk over there and there are 2 Blacksmiths working. Here are some pictures. It was hot, but they working hard. Did not get a chance to see them actually put on a new shoe, because it was time to go ride a pony.

Hope to finish today, if not definitely tomorrow. I have seen the lines that long. That is why we are doing FP+. Thanks for the comment on my DD, she had a blast, always does.

Looks like it is now Wednesday Morning. Originally my Conference was only supposed to be through Tuesday, but they changed it around a litte. That meant I now had to go back to the hotel to pick up things around lunch time. We had reservations for Chef Mickey's in the morning. We try to do it at least once. This guarantees that she can see Mickey, Minnie, Gooy and Pluto and Donald. Family Picture Big Cheese himself - while he is out, who is cooking the food? Goofy Donald Minnie Pluto There you go, the Fab 5 in one sitting, no lines, plus I got to eat bre

Mine limit is a little longer depending on the ride. Definitely not to see princesses.

At OKW there are multiple Bus Stops. The Resort is broken up into different sections and each section has its own Bus Stop. Near the Hospility House you have the Marina and the Pool Area. You can rent the Water Sprites at the Marina along with catch a Boat to Downtown Disney and Even Saratoga Springs. There is plenty of people that walk around the resort. Saratoga Springs is nicer for walking because you have the golf cart, plus a walkway to Downtown Disney (If it has not opened back up yet, it will be soon).

Good for you. I bet Stella and Anna would Love it. I only have to pay for one person to do it. I figure that I could go to a salon and she could get her toes and nails painted for just a little less. Here she gets a crown, makeup, nail polish and gets to feel special. They do a great job with it. Unfortunately (luckily) I had to work when she had to go this past time. One time was enough of sitting there listening to Moms while their Daughters are getting made up to be princesses.
