Better late than never: I've been convinced I need to start a trip report mid-trip

[terp05]

We’ve already been here for 4 days and I was not planning on doing any sort of trip report. But thanks to a sleepless late night after eating 2 scoops of ice cream at Beaches and Cream, I got on here and started posting. And along comes @Jeff_AZ and @vcka, who convinced me that I should start a report. So here it is.

Let me catch you up. It’s me, DW, Connor (DS7) and Cam (DS4) and my parents. We’re staying at YC, my parents are at BC. By the time they decided to come, YC was booked up completely, so I put them over there at BC. I’ll skip the boring details. Here are the highlights from Day 1-4

Saturday: Travel day from DC, arrive at YC

Sunday: MK Ate delicious pastries, accidentally rope dropped IASW , dinner at Tony’s and had an amazing NY strip, Connor made a friend in HM line and rode with him on the ride.

Monday: HS was a day of firsts. Connor rode RnRC for the first time and loved it, tried blue milk for the first time and loved it, got to be pilots and gunners for the first time on smugglers run and loved it, got the carrot cake cookie for the twentieth time and loved it, got stuck on ToT for the first time and didn’t love it but we got an anytime LL pass!, rode RotR for the first time and loved it, then hopped to EP and saw Harmonious for the first time and loved it.

Tuesday: AK

And now you are caught up. Today is a lazy morning day, with plans to go to Stormalong bay, then lunch at B&C, before heading to MK for the dessert party. I’ll be stacking LL reservations for our late afternoon arrival. Already have JC, aiming for Btmrr or space.

Classic. LOVE!

@terp05

OMG that’s cool! What kind of camera is he using?

[OBNurseNH]

Also - I’m so glad you’re reporting! I didn’t see where you were posting so I don’t know how you got roped into it, but I’m excited to follow!

[EMgoblue]

Yay! A trip report that I might actually be able to keep up with! (Only because I’m on break )

Go Blue!

He’s aiming to replace Chapek

That camera is a Polaroid from target. Thought it would be fun for the boys! He has been taking pics with friends he meets in line and giving them to them to remember their encounter

[terp05]

I’ve been posting in the daily open thread, where I tend to hide and feel comfortable Stepping out of my comfort zone here a little

[terp05]

So glad someone will follow along with this nonsense. Go Blue!

Current situation: trying to get two children out the door and to the pool. He’s 7 but acts like a lazy teen already

[vcka]

Is this day 4 or 5…? he’s just exhausted

[EMgoblue]

My 7 year old is always the last one out of bed on school days, and I have a lazy teenager too It’s hard being 7 , apparently

[terp05]

I’ve already lost count. Let’s see, I think you are right. It is day 5 .

Oh. My. GOODNESS I love your son! How wonderful is that??
He’s a Liner, you know.

[LTinNC82]

Glad you finally obliged and started this report. Your son is so adorable and has a great eye with the camera!

[terp05]

He’s been making lots of friends in line. The Haunted mansion photopass pic in the first post is of him and his random friend riding alone together in the doom buggy

@LTinNC82

a great eye with the camera!

@dreamer said the same thing, but I just chose not to show his many failed attempts
