Normally on Monday morning we would spend some time in the hotel pool before checking out but we were doing a lot of stuff differently this trip. Since we already swam in the pool yesterday, we got up early, finished packing, bid the Boardwalk farewell, and drove over to Animal Kingdom for the Extra Magic …
In another change from our usual Labor Day Weekend modus operandi, we decided not to go immediately to one of the theme parks this morning. Instead, we walked over the Swan hotel across the waterway from the Boardwalk to grab a light breakfast and from there continued walking to the Fantasia Gardens and Fairways mini-golf course. The Fantasia …
We got up early this morning and walked (it’s so cool being within walking distance of two parks!) over to Hollywood Studios for the early opening Extra Magic Hour. I’m sensing a pattern with our Saturday morning Disney visits on Labor Day Weekend (laziness? or efficiency? 😉 ) as we immediately got FastPasses for Toy Story …
It’s been three years since our last Labor Day Weekend trip to Disney so we were excited to hit the road this evening after work and school and get over to Orlando to start our vacation. We weren’t as lucky as in years past, however, and were delayed on I-4 due to an accident. Our …

We celebrated the arrival of 2013 a little differently this year … with friends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! It was crazy crowded but definitely a unique experience.
No sleeping in today! We woke up early (6:30am) to find the ship already docked back in Port Canaveral. Since we were using the Express Walk-Off service we decided to skip breakfast on the ship and just debark and get through customs. In hindsight, we should have not been in such a rush to leave, …
After turning in late (early) last night I ended up sleeping in a bit this morning. When I woke up around 8:00am my daughter had just woken up herself and my wife had gone to exercise in the fitness center. At some point overnight (or earlier that morning) the Dream had docked at Castaway Cay, …
This morning we awoke to a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean in the Bahamas. Hard to have a bad day starting off with a view like that …
