Because it’s just what everybody needs, another TR when there are already a ton…
If I would have known, I would have saved that TR title for this one. There are so, so many Liners currently (or arriving shortly) in the world.
I don’t know how “live” this will be. It could possibly be recaps.
Yes, I know I haven’t finished the retrospective on my last TR. It’s on my list. There are a lot of things to do in the 11 days between 2 Disney trips.
For this round, I’m not flying solo, mom is coming along for the fun.
She joined me before in Dec 2021. I asked Dad multiple times if he wanted to come as well, but I think he’s looking forward to having the house to himself too much… We fly out to Orlando tomorrow.
I ended up not really putting together full park touring plans for this trip which feels really strange. I don’t know how long of days Mom will be up for. She says she wants to ride everything as long as it doesn’t go upside-down, but I know we’ll need to play it by ear.
She has some mobility issues so getting in and out of rides might be a challenge. I know some of the rides were the last time we came together. I did get her signed up for the DAS as well. On our last trip I wasn’t sure if it was something that we should have or if we’d really need it. But after a number of cast members that trip telling me I should take her to GS and sign up, we did. The last 2 days that trip got much easier. This round, we did the sign up online. I did pick some pre-selections, but that was wild as me & the online cast member worked through each day and picked rides and times. Not sure how many we’ll make or even try to keep. Does anyone here know if the 119 minute rule applies to DAS-Pre like it does for LL?
We fly in from PIT tomorrow (Fri 12/1) on Southwest and we’ll be staying at Caribbean Beach Resort. We’re in the bubble for 10 days. Home flight is Sun 12/10 at 9pm.

We have a ton on dining reservations. The more I think about it, the more I think a bunch of them will probably end up getting dropped. While I know Mom will appreciate the break, and having waitstaff, she eats like a bird, and table service is $$$.
