I wasn’t allowed to wander Epcot on my own in my dress.

I was getting a little annoyed that I even needed an escort to the restroom until as I was walking over to the RR’s in UK when a little girl pointed to me and yelled “Look Mommy, a PRINCESS”.

The ultimate Pixie Dust moment!

Now whenever we see a reception there, DH squeezes my hand and tells me I’m still the prettiest princess ever.

Not gonna lie, this got a little pixie dust in my eye. Your DH sounds awesome, and that’s an amazing moment to have on the day when you are 100% a princess

I had planned on a prepark opening breakfast at A&C in a couple weeks but they just released new earlier opening hours for Epcot which makes breakfast and rope dropping impossible. Did you have any trouble parking at boardwalk with a later ADR time?

I can’t believe your trip is almost over though. So sad!

I had made an earlier one myself. When they changed the hours k just modified that to a single guest and then made another one for later. :no_mouth::shushing_face:

I’m so glad you get some quiet time in one of your favorite places. The perfect opportunity to recharge the soul.

My daughter is being a grump. But will also not say what she needs/wants to be happy. I think she doesn’t want to slow down for Luke, but she had some amazing1:1time with me, DH, and both of us together. So as far as I’m concerned there’s nothing for her to be grumpy over.

Except that we have to leave tomorrow afternoon. Which, if I’m honest, makes me a little grumpy too :wink:

That would make me grumpy, too.

How to squeeze more fun out of your day:

  1. Get a margarita (or two)

  2. Sit on your (giant) balcony

  3. Watch the giraffe make their way in your general direction.

So we had a nice morning, I think, at EP

We rode Remy, Spaceship Earth, and Living With the Land

We visited the butterfly house

We had a delicious (if tardy) breakfast (brunch)

We rode FEA

We visited Club Cool

I’m stacking for MK and currently hold 7D, JC, and PP. Next one up in 40 minutes.

Just thinking… would DD like some solo park time maybe? Do what she wants and meet up with you later in MK?

I’m sorry.

But you’re right, she got some great time with you and there’s really not much that can be done.

When DS13 was in the room pouting, I told him that this was a once on a lifetime opportunity (so far) for us. That we would never be back in that room, on that date in that year again. And he could be grumpy and make things miserable for himself, but the rest of the family was going to focus on making the best of the time we had left.

Looking back, I wish I had phrased it differently, but the sentiment stands.

I hope she realizes that this will be her only graduation trip for both her and Luke and she can choose to be grumpy, or enjoy the time left.

Also, seriously I love that she loves her time with you!
