After two days each at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, our next park was Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This was set to be a big day for us – our family is full of Star Wars fans, several new attractions had opened since our last trip to this park, and a brand new table-service restaurant that IContinue reading “3/25/23: Our Day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios”

Navigating the Disney Bus Transportation after Our First Aid Experience
Like I said in my Magic Kingdom Day 2 post, leaving the park, we had me (now with my rollator), one sleeping toddler in a stroller, and the oldest kid in a wheelchair. Navigating the regular line in that situation was going to be near impossible for us, and a transportation cast member had usContinue reading “Navigating the Disney Bus Transportation after Our First Aid Experience”
Our Experience with the First Aid Station at Magic Kingdom
(CW: Blood) We were about halfway through the regular line part of the Dumbo: The Flying Elephant queue when the twelve year old started having a nosebleed. It was a lot of blood, and came on really fast. She was standing there in long princess gown, tilting her head back and trying to catch theContinue reading “Our Experience with the First Aid Station at Magic Kingdom”
3/24/23: Our Second Day at Magic Kingdom
Friday was set to be a big day. We knew we were going to have to be up early to have our best chance to do everything we were planning. We had the kids dressed by 6:30, then the older two went back to sleep in their park clothes while we got our park bagsContinue reading “3/24/23: Our Second Day at Magic Kingdom”
The Lost Phone Saga
In my post about the first day we spent at EPCOT, I said I’d explain how the Life360 app would come in handy a couple days after I downloaded it. That decision came about when my oldest lost her phone in Project Tomorrow and Find My iPhone was entirely unhelpful at actually finding her iPhone.Continue reading “The Lost Phone Saga”
‘Ohana Dinner: Allergies and Accessibility
My first visit to ‘Ohana for dinner was in 2017. At that time, my wife and I were on a kid-free trip for our anniversary, and we had an early reservation one afternoon before we finished the night our at the parks. At that time, my wife was eating gluten-free but my food allergies wereContinue reading “‘Ohana Dinner: Allergies and Accessibility”
3/23/23: Our Second Day at EPCOT
Our third “Disney Day” was our return trip to EPCOT. Originally we were supposed to have a breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace (over at Disney’s Riviera Resort) but the events of the night before led to us completely scrapping that plan. (Still working on that post). Instead, we decided to sleep in some. When we wokeContinue reading “3/23/23: Our Second Day at EPCOT”
Trip Report: 3/22/23: Our First Day at EPCOT
After spending 3/21 at Magic Kingdom, we had reservations for breakfast the next morning at one of our family’s favorite Disney restaurants: ‘Ohana. Our reservations were originally for around 9:30 am, but I had a last-minute Zoom call I needed to be available for at 11:00, and with some late night searching we were ableContinue reading “Trip Report: 3/22/23: Our First Day at EPCOT”
Why I’ll Never Fly Out of MCO on the First Flight Again
This trip was the first trip where my family took the very first flight out of Orlando to our home airport, and we will NEVER do that again. We were trying to save some money (later flights were $30-80 more expensive per person, which really adds up when you’re a family of five) and wantedContinue reading “Why I’ll Never Fly Out of MCO on the First Flight Again”
Trip Report – 3/21/23: The Flight Down and Our First Day at Magic Kingdom
Please be aware that while I will be showing family photos from this trip, I am not comfortable publicly sharing photographs of my children and their faces will be obscured or they will be facing away from the camera in these photos. Don’t come after me, this is the internet and my kids are allowedContinue reading “Trip Report – 3/21/23: The Flight Down and Our First Day at Magic Kingdom”
