At least it saves me some money.

Defintiely waiting on hearing about the Frozen Premium Package. We are heading there shortly and debating about spending the money.

A couple of things, my wife is required to drive the RV, not because I do not think I should drive the whole way, but she takes it out on her own so she drives it then. This way I can sleep when she drives it. As for DVC, it is not YC, but BC. The villas are the closest to EPCOT and the furthest away from SAB, but SAB is still included. Self Parking is actually closer to the DVC buildings. I Love DVC and will be staying at BLT in a couple of weeks. However, will probably try to camp again at Fort Wilderness in the RV. The last go around for DVC Annual pass discounts was $300 off the P

Cool, I will have to look for her when I am there then.

It sounds like she will still be working through August 8-17.

Hug your loved ones. Very scary event happened at the conference I am at. Guy had a heart attack on conference floor. We think he was stable when he left, hope to get update soon. On a happier side, dd got to see Anna and Elsa today.

Just met Donnie (stacktester). He is setting up a camper for someone nect door to us in 512.

Yesterday, Friday, was an easy day. The weather was decent at the campsites, but very hot at the Magic Kingdom. We were getting a good breeze at the campsite the whole day. No time to elaborate on what we did. Just trying to keep connected till I have to get ready. Today we may try to go meet Anna and Elsa, I am leaving that up to DD and DW. I may head over to DHS to check out Star Wars Weekend or just hang out. I have not decided yet. I could also go and try to ride some rides at MK. Coming enough we do not need to push to do everything all in one trip.

Congratulations!!! I know it is not as special as being First on a TCD trip report, but being First is always a good thing. I was also glad I was not too far along. Thanks for the Birthday wishes. Well you DS must be awesome to have a great Birthday like that. Tell you DS Happy Birthday!!! Thanks for joining and sharing and someone must have played a lot of slots that day. Looks like leaving it alone. Wow, I am not the only one to do this stuff. Lets hear other embarrassing stories. We did have cash on hand, but was trying not to use it. Thanks! Thanks! Than

That is not the first time my Mother had to bail me out. A neighbor helped in that one also. Taking the Disney Fantasy on Saturday after Thanksgiving. Since I already had the time off we came to Disney a few days early and then on Friday headed over to our friends house that works at NASA. I had a weird feeling on the way that I did not know where I put the passports. Well, the reason for that is because they were still in my house in NC. Luckily I checked early enough and they were able to FedEx Overnight them to a FedEx Facility and we picked them up. I figured I would have learned fr

Well, if you followed my last trip report, you would know that I was leaving for Disney World last night. I will be staying at the Fort from 5/16 Through 5/22. Work is paying me miles and also paying for the Campground Costs. All I have to pay for is food for myself, DW and DD for the days I am not working the conference. I have to drive the the Renaissance at Sea World on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. My Birthday falls into the this trip and is on Tuesday May 20th, one of the days that I have to work. Turns out we also have to take out customers to Dinner and going to Bonefis

Saturday December 28th Continued We would normally not have anything interesting to talk about or show after we leave Disney. Depending on traffic and how long our stops are, we would have gotten home that night. However, that was not the case. On our way out of town on I-4, we get a call from my 2nd Cousin Once Removed or something crazy like that. Essentially my Mothers Cousins Daughter. I could never figure out the 2nd, 3rd Cousin thing. This would not be so important, but she now lives in London and has a Daughter that is my DD’s age. She was only in town for a little while and the 2

Saturday December 28th We are near the end of the trip. This Saturday, although we did not have many plans for Saturday, it turned out to be a VERY busy and LONG day. We started the day at MK, here is picture of Clementine’s Beach in the morning. Looks like the Tether Ball is still there. They started off at Buzz Lightyear While I rode Space by myself Then I was the First one Splash. I just got in line and the crowd all went different directions and I just followed the CM’s. While DD did the Little Mermaid ride, I decided to go visit Ariel. The obligatory Castle Picture Dum

Friday December 27th. I was challenged by TCD to get this trip report done before I leave tonight and I am going to to do that. Friday was a Hollywood Studios kind of day. However, we had to go eat at Fulton’s Crabhouse first. We love this place and try to go every trip, if we can. With the TIW, DVC or AP you can get 20% off at Lunch, where you can only get 10% off at Dinner. You can still order from their Dinner menu at lunch. DD still in her crown Pood Forn for DIT – Crab Legs The food once again was great and now it was time to hit Hollywood Studios. We had to get use of the Me

A couple of years ago, DVC Changed that policy to ANY DVC member can go up. They are allowed to restrict at any point, but the few times we have gone up, it is not very crowded. If you are not staying at one of the Magic Kingdom Resorts, it is a pain to get to. You either need to drive or you need to get to the Magic Kingdom, then get over to BLT. Also, a lot of DVC members still think it is only those staying at BLT. They do not read over the Perks that we get before they leave. I plan on going over there again this trip if time allows. Hopefully it will be warmer than the last two tim

December 26th Continued After hitting EPCOT in the morning we looped around the fort and went to the pool. While looping we came across this car. Definitely not expecting to see a Porsche at the Fort. As you saw from the Christmas Photos, we had HDDR tonight. My daughter was SO Excited about this. She loves it. We have to play some of it on youtube and see she will just start singing some of the songs. This show was a little different as it was their Christmas version, so some of the songs were different. The food was the same. We had Category 1 seats. We were right up front, s

Thursday December 26th Today was an EPCOT Day in the morning. We had never done Character Spot at the EPCOT. The line always seemed too long. However with FP+ and already done Soaring, I decided to try it. We got to the park for opening and something crazy happened. They had us park in the grass area. This made it very easy to leave when we wanted to, but I guess they were expecting a big crowd. Family Picture –Since we had Memory Maker, thought we would get our use out of it. Character Spot with Mickey Goofy Minnie That was it for the characters. I would not wait in li

Christmas Day – Time to open the rest of the gifts. Let’s just say gift opening took a while. We like to buy things during the year when they are on sale. So we had lots of little things. Cinderella Tiana Mulan – This maybe only the third one pictured, but I think she got 8 of these. After the first few we heard. “Another One” However, she plays with all of them now and they take up a lot of her bed. A watch and me resting my eyes, we had to get up early and I was tired. Either an Anna or Elsa dress, I know she got both. A Hoop-Dee-Doo Pin and a note that we were going tomor

It will definitely be a hard one to top. We are planning on doing Christmas at the Fort in 2015 (not enough vacation time for 2014). Thanks. Thanks Santa. I do mean Elf on the Shelf. We did bring it along and it stressed out DW. I had to get up to do different things with it on the trip. With the RV and the tents outside we had enough space to keep moving it around. She had to get something that was very close to the Elf one day and would not get it. She said that she was not allowed to touch it and did not want to chance having Santa be upset with her, so we had to get it

I actually did not book them at 180 days out. I think a lot of people did not want to head to the parks that early in the morning. It was not till after we got out of breakfast, around 10:30ish that it really starting to get busy. I was just very lucky. Thanks and as you will see in the next few updates, it was a great time. The rest of it was spent at the fort, so it had to be fun.

Christmas Day – Continued and it is only 9:30 in the morning on Christmas and already on the third update. We are about to have Breakfast. This is the second thing of the day that I said I was never going to do. The first was BBB. Thought it was too expensive and not worth the money, why would any parent waste the money on something like that. Well, I will admit when I am wrong. Although it is fairly expensive, when looking at other salons and things we could have done with her for the money, it is right in line. They also give her the nail polish and the makeup kit. The makeup kit la

Christmas Day continued After opening up the few gifts we all got ready to head to the Magic Kingdom. We drove the cart and we were expecting more people getting ready to head to the Magic Kingdom. We were wrong, we were the first cart to Golf Cart Area and we got the first boat to the Magic Kingdom. We walked onto many rides in the morning. We had our FP+ set up for after breakfast. We were able ride a lot of rides in the morning before her appointment to BBB. While waiting for BBB We had an 8:40 appointment at BBB and a 9:35 appointment at CRT. This meant that we had just enoug

Christmas There are probably going to be many updates on the one. We got up at 6:00 to start opening up presents. Normally you do not need to wake up kids on Christmas Morning. Well, not my kid. I am normally the one waiting to get the day started and I am not allowed to wake up the DD. However, this year was an exception. We had a LONG day ahead of us. Santa does come to the fort and even without a chimney, somehow made it into the camper. Photobombed by Scamp - In the black bag was a Cinderella Dress, with a note in it about Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique. Stockings – Notice the HUGE Sto

Moving right along. It seems we did not do much on Christmas Eve morning. I think we spent the day at the fort and then headed Epcot in the afternoon. The girls went to Turtle Talk and I went to Mission Space. We then did Soaring and were going to the Seas with Nemo ride, however it turns out it was closed. We got an email from FP+ system that said we could go to an ride and go on it. They chose to go on Spaceship Earth. I was not expecting that to work, but they went right up to the FP+ line, scanned their magic bands and went right in. We had a very early Dinner because we were doin

We are headed to the fort this Thursday night and will arrive Friday.
