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”

3/23/23: Our Second Day at EPCOT

Our third “Disney Day” was our return trip to 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”
