It's hard, you just never know what someone has going on. It is intresting that they were being escorted by a CM.
I am intrested to see it for myself. But I have a feeling we might not see it this trip. Not loving the idea of standing in a crowd just yet, we have always hated waiting for fireworks to start, even before covid. So, I have a feeling we will skip MK. But we will see.
Heat really does supress you appetitte. I feel like I get into a cold restaurant and all of a sudden I am starving!
Deadly Due Date... hilarious.
They are adorable!
Thank you
I'm obsessed with those babies!
I was very surprised at how much I didn't "miss" the fireworks during my trip in February 2021. It did decrease a lot of stress without having to worry about getting a spot, waiting, walking out in the crowds, etc.!
My favorites are BBBrooke on instagram and Aloha Ears Design. Aloha does interchangeable 3D printed ears so they feel lighter.
Same! However, we saw it on October 1st and didn't have a great view so I booked the dessert party for my solo trip in March and I'm going to hold off judgement until I see it then with a good view.
I follow BBBrooke but I have never purchased her ears before!! I do looooove dessert parties and wish we would have done one this trip. Maybe all of the yummy desserts will also help your perspective and put you in a good mood
I'm really enjoying your trip report! It sounds like you and your mom have so much fun together. My girls are 14 and 9 and I hope that they will still want to go to Disney with me when they are adults.
Our next trip is in April and I was thinking about booking a dessert party to watch the fireworks. We haven't seen the new show before and I keep reading bad reviews of it so now I'm not sure if I should spend the money for the dessert party, especially since it has gotten much more expensive since the last time we did a dessert party several years ago.
Thanks so much for following along
We always have a great time on our trips and I pray that you will have the chance to take those trips with them too!!
Ahhh, I hate how expensive dessert parties have gotten
I love me some desserts but I can't see us doing another one anytime soon (especially with the new show) despite how much I enjoy them due to the price.
Hi! I'm new to reading and following trip reports but I've loved yours so far!
Me and my boyfriend are headed to WDW for the first time in March! Love seeing your reviews for
Genie+ and abrcadabar!
You guys look like you had the best time!
Thank you so much for reading
Have a great time with your boyfriend and soak in all the magic!!!! You'll have a blast!
My favorite ears are by Mousetiara on Etsy, but you gotta really like cute/kawaii stuff or they won't be to your liking
I, however, want them ALL. I have the Bruni ears and everyone lost their minds about how cute they are when I went in 2020, lol. They are comfy and soft
I'll have to check out those shops!!! Thanks for the recommendations
I should have said hi! I was trying to explain to DH... "I know her! Well, I don't *know* her know her... but I know who she is!"
We had an amazing trip. We hadn't been to WDW since December 2019, and this was the kid-free trip we'd rescheduled from April 2020. I was just SO HAPPY to actually be there and couldn't believe that we were. We're hoping that what we learned about Genie+ will help us when we take the kids in June.
We actually watched Enchantment the night before you did. We booked the dessert party because it was my birthday. Everything felt extra magical this trip, but that whole viewing experience was tainted by a family who came in at the last minute and started out standing behind us. During the fireworks they squeezed in front of us, and the dad put one of the kids on his shoulders.
It was fine for DH, who is 6'5", but I'm 5'4". Anyway... I LOVED the music, but I want another chance to see the whole show clearly. I'm sorry you were disappointed in it. It's so hard to see Disney change the things we love.
Evie and Ollie could not be cuter!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you had a great time
Adults-only Disney trips are so fun!!!
Ugh... that is so annoying about that rude family. Especially since you paid more to have better viewing!! I hope you have a better view in June... And you are spot on about the whole change thing
I don't like change, especially when it comes to nostalgic things like Disney!!
I felt exactly the same way, we did a after fireworks dessert party last week and it was fine but overall a big disappointment and a one and done until they bring back a better show, #HEA, #Wishes!!
I agree totally!
I love the review of the Abracadabra bar, we need to try it one of our trips. We are staying at BC late August so it is on the list for that trip!
Such cuties! Evie and Ollie
I hope you had a great time on your trip, Caroline! Your pictures looked awesome
Poor Andi is probably so disappointed with the fireworks- I know that she is #teamwishes all day!!
You will really love Abracadabar! It's very calm and quiet compared to the bustling Boardwalk and the food and drinks are so yummy
Never been to the Abracadabra, that pizza looks fantastic. Do they have a decent selection of beer there? If so, we'll have to try it if we go in 2023. Evie and Ollie are so cute, and I really love their names.
When it's cold in Florida, you do feel it more because of the humidity. My DD and DSIL just got home last Wed. from WDW and were there after a cruise the two days it was in the 30s. I can't imagine how cold that felt down there. I bet Disney sold tons of sweatshirts for those that were unprepared for that kind of cold.
Abracadabar was fantastic! Not sure about the beer situation (Mom and I are not big beer drinkers), but from what I see online it looks like they have some nice craft beer selections!
Thank you
Oh my gosh, that sounds miserable!!! I went to an After Hours event in January 2020, and it was in the 30s that night as well. I wore earmuffs and gloves and I was still absolutely frigid. I remember going back to my room at the Poly that night and taking the longest, hottest shower of my life, haha!
So glad you got to stay here. It's such a beautiful resort. Jason and I stayed here when we got married (a very classy $99 affair). Only we would spend more money on our hotel than our wedding
Oh I'll have to check out their menu. I hadn't heard of this place before and we are hopefully headed back to Vegas this summer.
Love this!!! I'm addicted to all things Real Housewives and Vanderpump so this is definitely on my list.
I've seen both of those and you aren't wrong with O. Its always reviewed so well but we just weren't fans. I think the water is cool but it just doesn't seem as good as the other shows. Don't tell Jake but Love is definitely my favorite. Casey is a big beatles fan so pretty sure we'll do it when we go.
You are so right!
Make sure the master planner remembers they are free before they are 3 (even if they turn 3 while they are there) so definitely go right before the big day. We got 2 free trips in for Casey and it was great on the wallet
First, love these pictures. And second I'm so with you. I never even try anymore. My big Charlie brown head just isn't meant to have anything other than my 2 ears on it
Preach!!!! We didn't even watch Enchantment in person. We hated it online figured there was no need to endure it in person. This should have been their best show ever and Disney completely missed the nostalgia mark in favor of pushing their newer IP
They are adorable.What a lucky aunt you are
We LOVED the Encore, the room was seriously impressive and the bed was soooo comfortable! Our only wish was that it was closer to the strip!
For sure check out Vanderpump Cocktail Garden- we loved it and the goat cheese balls were amazing! What did you think of this last season of VPR??
Where do you guys think you'll stay for your trip coming up?? I love all of the Vegas hotels and their fun theming! You DEFINITELY should see "LOVE"- I told Jake that next time we're in Vegas, I'm forcing him to go and he doesn't have a say about it
YES to free before three- I've mentioned this multiple times to Haley hahaha! I'm hoping we can go sometime in May- I loved that time of year when we went for our Epic trip! And thanks for the kind words
I love those little nuggets so much!
Following along. Love your trip reports!
Welcome! Thanks for following along!!
