Hollywood Studios


We made it!! After a long day of travel to get here we are ready to pound some pavement! We r staying at Caribbean Beach Resort and have the perfect location with a short walk to the bus stop and just a 5 minute walk to the center of the resort! Are room is smaller than we imagined but very manageable. Nice bath area with two sinks and a separate shower/toilet room. Very clean, fridge for the groceries I had delivered and just enough room for my overpacked family! 

Our first morning today was a 8:02 shuttle to Hollywood Studios where we arrived a half hour before gates opened. Owen and I hi tallied it over to sign up for Jedi training and Aaron and Grace to ride rockin roller coaster. The morning brought pouring rain and wind but we managed with ponchos. The afternoon was beautiful! The crowds were fairly light and there was no more than 20 min waits for the rides! We got to meet Star Wars characters. Plus a bonus for me I got to meet John Stamos and get a selfie with him ❤️. Also met Minnie and Buzz and Woody!  Our meals were all very good. We have a small dining plan but u get an incredible amount of food! Meals come with main entree, a side, drink and a dessert!! Our fav dessert had to be the Darth Vader peanut butter cupcakes 😋 fun day was had by all!!

Disney

This is really happening!! 
DISNEY IN 21 DAYS!!
These came today 😊😊😊 our magic bands for Disney!!  Opening this package today made me emotional. In a good way cause I was so happy. This trip is something we have dreaded for a long time and put off for a long time. Only because we knew it was going to have a huge price tag.  However, seeing these today made it all worth it!  It made me feel very proud.  We were able to pull this trip off with paying cash for all of it!!  Something we never thought we would be able to do. Even more we were able to do it the way we wanted by staying on property, having a dining plan and a lot of the other perks we thought we could only dream of! This will be a truly magical trip for our family and the memories we will have will be priceless ❤️
