No, unfortunately not. We said we were gonna skip WDW next year in favor of a trip to Disneyland before they mess up the original with Star Wars land. But the thought of not going to the world is already starting to build up. Whichever we do, it won't be until August.
I get that. It's weird for me not to be going to Disneyland in 2018 after having gone every year since 2015! 2018 is a more low-key year for us so we can have another large vacation in 2019 and get some things done around the house. We keep debating on what we're doing in 2019 though. I need to look through the Tauck catalog some more. Hawaii in 2016 and Italy in 2017 were budget killers if we wanted to do anything to the house. This year will be a lot cheaper since we already have our Annual Passes and we own DVC.
Here's our schedule:
January 4th to 8th - Boardwalk Villas for Marathon Weekend
February 22nd to 25th - Boardwalk Villas for Princess Weekend
April 19th to 22nd - Animal Kingdom Villas for Dark Side Weekend
July 19th to 22nd - Wisconsin for a wedding
August 30th to Sept 3rd - Grand Floridian for Opening F&W Weekend (Mother/Daughter Trip)
November 1st to 11th - Boardwalk Villas for Wine & Dine Weekend + Food & Wine Festival
Looks like Casey on a plate and in a cup. IHOP is her all time favorite place to eat. She and my Dad go so often that they apparently know her and she knows what specials they have each day. Being the good mother I am, I've never taken her
That would be Casey on a plate! It's sweet that she goes with your dad and is a 'regular'. That's a great grandparent/granddaughter outing! Totally fine you never take her We go to Ihop like twice a year usually - typically on Thanksgiving Morning and Memorial Day on our way home from our race.
Ritz Carlton and Spa? Yes please and thank you! Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving to me!
It was! So relaxing before stuffing my self silly with my next update!
Well you are continuing to sell me on the Ritz. I “need” to try it. How marvelous to get the suite upgrade and complimentary champagne sounds like perfection. The spa looks very relaxing. All in all looks like a lovely Thanksgiving!
I think you need to try it too! Since they are still in the middle of some renovations - I think the rates probably aren't as bad as they can be but I didn't find the renovations to take away from the property at all - it just meant I couldn't walk certain places. Definitely less of an issue this trip with the construction than in July where they were working on redoing their entire lobby! It's also nice that you can use the Marriott's pool for their lazy river but they can't use your pool.
Nice spa day. And I love pancakes with eggs, it is my most favourite breakfast, and those looked amazing!
It was a nice spa day! They were amazing pancakes. My husband loves Ihop's scrambled eggs so he's right along with you!
