Hi I figured I would get my trip report started to give me time to figure out how to respond in more real time. I have enjoyed reading everyone’s trip reports for quite some time. We head down to Orlando Feb 15 to spend 4 nights at Universal and then move over to Disney for 6 nights. We includes myself 45F, DP (Dear Partner) 41 non-binary, DC (Dear Child) 7 non-binary. Last year was my first RunDisney foray with the Princess Half Marathon. I had hip surgery this past august so we are doing the Princess 5k this year as a family. Somehow I do not win things but I will luck out in situations where I get to spend more money.

Loose planning. DC is not into thrills so not sure what they will agree to. We bribed them with a wand if they rode the HP rides last year. I’m mid level thrills, I cried on velocicoaster last year. My partner loves the thrills.

No Simpsons or Forbidden Journey?

Simpsons most likely will be there. Forbidden Journey not sure if DC will agree to repeat. Both require me to make sure my Reliefband is functioning. I also promised more down time this trip so trying not to overschedule

I am prone to overscheduling too. My family needs more downtime than I do.

By the time we got our bags, grabbed an Uber and checked in it was 1am before I was laying my head on the pillow.
Here at Cabana Bay lobby 5 hours later waiting for Amazon Fresh. I should have scheduled a later delivery.
We got the upgrade here at Cabana that I gambled/hopes for.
I had booked an exterior family suite with my Amex points forever ago. When I found out about a month ago that they pool on that side was being refurbished while we there I cancelled and booked a standard room. I did not want to pay extra for possible construction noises and a longer walk to the pool. We do like the extra space and kitchenette so I secretly hoped we would be upgraded and we were 4th floor starlight. Sweet same room type more than $200 worth in points less!
Ok let’s see how I fare in less than 5 hours sleep.

Wait time for Poseidon was way underestimated and DC got very very scared and had to take a chicken exit with DP.
DC got chocolate ice cream and I got a butter beer and fire whiskey. Do not stir the cold butter beer when you first get it. Oops!
