My paranoid body clock as usual woke me two hours before my 2am alarm and again at 1:30 am as well.I woke poor Flynn 20 minutes before our bell service arrived to drop us to the lobby for our 3:20 am Magical Express to the airport .The bell service guy had us there so early,ContinueContinue reading “Disney’s Unmagical Express”

Big line for bag check today, like – CRAZY big. I shuffled into the line resignedly and settled in for a long wait. A family group walked through the quick ‘no-bag’ line, but the Grandma, short, squat and entirely decked out in sunshine yellow, got stopped as she was carrying a bag. She glared atContinueContinue reading “Bad Grandma and the soggy book disaster”

This morning Epcot’s bag check line was longer than any I had experienced before and there was no way any of our crew ( even going through the quick no-bag line) were going to see the Jamitors first performance at rope drop or the park’s opening ‘pinky promise’ not to run to rides.On the walkContinueContinue reading “In which I nearly get to eat authentic poutine and nearly get in trouble with the Disney bus driver”

Hollywood Studios-a super short post about it just for the sake of my diary and memories. This was my least favorite park and least favorite day in the parks, not sure why really because I loved it last time we came.We started the day at Starbucks, my only Starbucks this trip.We raced to do StarContinueContinue reading “Hollywood Studios”

I forgot that Disney parks open at 9 am so we were sitting at the bus stop at about 7 and nothing on the board showed Epcot bus times at all! Luckily for us, an Epcot bus arrived at 7:17.We wereContinueContinue reading “The promise-breakers of Epcot”

This was the day we were all skeptical about. New Years Eve at Magic Kingdom, the most popular park at Disney World on the busiest day of the year. The Disney blogs and forums don’t even offer a touring plan for New Year’s Eve, they just say ‘savour the moment and go in with noContinueContinue reading “Our magical New Year’s Eve”

After such a frantic day yesterday, I was not at all surprised that Kara needed a rest day. The rest of us rose early to go hard at Animal Kingdom.I forgot how absolutely sprawling Disney World is. It is like its own city.Having to rely on Disney transport was a stressor for me because theyContinueContinue reading “In which Disney transport is not as extreme as us”

Today being our last day at Universal we got up early once more. After checking out and stowing our luggage for a day at the parks, Kara and I went via the shuttle as we had determined that she would come with the aid of a wheelchair for her injured foot. We raced all theContinueContinue reading “Lots of walking, lots of commute, lots of fun!”

We were up super early again today. Kara was staying home to rest her sore foot.We spent the first hour in Hogsmeade as we had reached straight over to Diagon Alley after our first couple rides the day before.We wanted to do the King Kong and it was FANTASTIC! Zac and I had gone ourContinueContinue reading “In which it is too wet to take too many photos”
