Well, we did it. The 2020-21 school year ended for us at noon today and we are on our way home!!
This will be our longest trip ever so you’ll probably get tired of seeing our faces.
Here’s the plan:
Who? Myself (36), DDad, DD10, DS8, DD6 and DD4 (who turns 5 on the trip!)
Where? All freaking over the place. We decided to make our first split stay a doozy. 2 nights at Loew’s Royal Pacific, 4 nights at BCV, 4 nights at GFV and 4 nights at AKL Jambo.
We’ve got two day tickets to UO and 10 day hoppers to WDW with a rest day or two sprinkled in.
We are currently on the plane and should land in Orlando around 5:30. Our original plans for today were to land closer to 4:30 and make it to IOA for a few hours before park close but since our flight was delayed we may wait and use those tickets Wednesday instead. TBD. it was raining and mid-50s in Dallas when we left (what is happening?! Crazy weather) and we’re looking forward to sweating so buckets in FL!
We also have a 4-part split stay! We arrive on May 23rd, so I take it we will just miss each other? Have a great trip! I will be following along. Can’t believe this is the last group of trip reports before mine!
In Arizona we tend to get out early but are back in school the second week in August. As a kid I’d prefer the early out but as an adult I kind of wish we could have an early September vacation without worrying about school. Both would be nice.
Have sooooo much fun! Will be taking notes again as our trip is around the corner and we have 4 kids around the same ages, staying at BCV, and are celebrating a bday while down there too!
Yes!! Woot!!! And insanely someone got in line behind us, noticed the kids school shirts and told us that they too go to our school. How bananas is that?!
This used to happen to us all the time at DLR at spring break. We would drive down and I remember seeing a kid from my daughter’s middle school at a rest stop on the highway! We live two states away, by the way.
ready to follow along!
