The Last Spring Break—A UOR and WDW Trip Report

[Limace]

Hang in there! My kids range from 11-24. We’ve taken my eldest’s partner with us on our last two DO trips, bringing his daughter once. But our trip to WDW this year is just us-DH and the three kids, and my eldest has been the driver behind going. Heck, I went on a cruise with just my mom a few years back. I think when kids start getting into relationships they don’t want to be apart, and then once you’ve been together a while a break can be nice or you don’t feel the need to do every single thing together.

Thanks for that. Your story made me sad. I know it’s coming though…

she’s up to two! We’re making progress

Excellent!

Pandora at night

is always a beautiful sight!

They did put two other people with us.

interesting!

betray her parents and join the first order. She said yes.

that is adorable

made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare.

excellent

traveling with the Fab Four was much easier.

I am guessing a need for a name change???

I wanted to leave the room no later than 11am!

that is not early at all!

@JustKeepSmiling I didn’t realize you were going with Abby. That should be awesome.

@Dreamer thank you for getting me all excited (like I need any help) for September. It looks like you and the girls had a great time together!

Yes! Fab Five - ready or not!

[Dreamer]

I was ready in plenty of time

Yep. I can totally relate. It is frustrating.

[longwalk]

Yes! Fab Five

Better!! Always thought it would be better to be the Rolling Stones!!
Leaves lot more leeway for bad behavior and overindulgence.

UOR is easier than Disney when you have EP. You really don’t need to plan or to be there at RD. My kids like UOR, but they still prefer Disney (or at least that’s what I’m telling myself).

[Dreamer]

she isn’t into the food or the characters

[Dreamer]

I can definitely post more pictures, but I didn’t want people to get bored of them.

took my DD on her HS graduation trip last March before the shutdown

That is fabulous you were able to do that.

He is not sure he wants to go with us next March for Spring Break

I think a lot of kids are like that. I’m lucky my girls still want to travel with us.

[missoverexcited]

I think you must have had a knock on the head. There is no chance of anyone here getting bored!

Matty is currently banned from the internet.

Unless he figures a way around that.

she and the BF were walking in front of me a bit and I was walking alone. In that moment, it occurred to me that the family trips as I had known them all these years, were over.

I am nearly in tears after reading this. I know things change (and I know you do too), but that doesn’t make it easy.

[Dreamer]

That’s really interesting (and hopeful).

[Dreamer]

I am guessing a need for a name change???

Fab Five?

[Dreamer]

Jinx.
I hadn’t read your response.

[Dreamer]

Do we really need leeway?

[Dreamer]

Or I’m just grumpy being back at work.

[longwalk]

Do we really need leeway

Depends on how much bail money you bring with you.

[missoverexcited]

Well that is entirely understandable!

When we left at the end of the night to walk back to BLT, she and the BF were walking in front of me a bit and I was walking alone. In that moment, it occurred to me that the family trips as I had known them all these years, were over. It was such a sad moment.

You know I related to this so much. It is hard. I have felt like the odd one out when with Chessie and her bf. I hate it. This new stage of parenting is hard.
