I really enjoyed reading your TR! I too found it after it was complete, but enjoyed reading from start to finish. Congrats on all of your recent life changes. Although you will be living close, I think it's important to take time and get away even if it is only 30 minutes away. We do it also...it feels good to be somewhere where you don't feel the need to get up and do chores. Please keep us updated on how things are going for you as you begin this new chapter in your life!

What a fantastic TR! It felt like I was right there, and gave me such great ideas for our first trip to WDW. Thank you for sharing! (And congratulations on the new schools and move!)

Thanks so much for sharing! I really enjoyed your TR.

Have you thought about getting a part-time job at WDW? My parents are seasonal employees (Oct - April) and you don't have to work very many hours to get all the perks!

I love a non-rushed Disney trip...its a lot easier when you know you are going to visit again and again.

Great TR. Love that Mallory was so surprised at your treat!
Good luck on the move. I am so jealous that your bad days will be able to be fixed with a MK/dole whip trip!

I just read through your report from start to finish - I can't believe I found it, just as you finished it! What a shame as well, we're in Disney until 24 October, so we'll just miss you on that trip.

with your new life in Orlando - I hope it all goes well for you guys.

Sounds like you got everything completed that you had planned for your half business and fun trip. Glad Mallory got a little of the magic while she was there as well. Look forward to hearing of your many adventures now that you will be 30 minutes from the gate! We will be at Disney during the 5k. I keep thinking about running it myself. Maybe we should team up and do it together.
