Oh, what a great wrap-up! I loved it!
I've really enjoyed reading your entire trip report and following along on Izzy's first Disney trip, but this was probably my favorite post. It was so fun to see all the great character interactions, napping adventures, and smiles Izzy experienced.
Thanks for letting me steal the concept!
Glad I did okay with it.
Thanks so much for writing this report and sharing your Disney memories.
I can't wait to read about your summer trips and see how much Izzy's changed between each one.
And I am especially looking forward to hearing about your Aulani trip! I can't remember if I've commented on that PTR yet or not. If I haven't, I have been reading and following along!
I am so excited to write about the other trips. Though I have no idea how I'm going to handle having three trips to write about.
Thank you!
We've taken both kids at 14 months and it was great both times!
It really seems to be a great age for a WDW trip!
Ouch, that's a rough way to cap off the trip with a hectic ME experience. BUT, on the bright side, it seems from your wrap up posts that you all 3 had an amazing time on Izzy's first trip! I swear, every time we have taken Paxton, it has felt like the
perfect age by the time we left.
When they are so growing so fast and learning so many new things at such a rapid pace, every trip is something different for them & for us as parents! Look forward to reading about the rest of Izzy's Disney adventures!!
I totally agree - each age seems perfect. I loved her 14-month-old trip, but I also loved her other trips. Each was different, but amazing. Can't wait for more!
Wow! Just finished catching up and I'm so sad your report is over!
lucky that you have other trips to start now though!!!
Thanks! I have a lot of TR irons in the fire, though, so I'll be writing for a good, long while, I think!
Loved your last day! You managed to squeeze every second out of it!
Sure did! Not the way we had originally planned things, but I guess it worked out.
Fyi- I was just as the Poly an the photo of the tiki man with the drums, good news, he is still there! He was right outside the gift shop! So I assume he's staying?!?!!?!! Man I really wish I could have seen the Poly in all its glory in person, it was sad even for a person who hadn't got to see it originally, to see it all walled up! But the outside is gorgeous!! I loved walking around. And it did look like they were taking the volcano down, there were men disassembling it while we dined at Ohana!
Thanks for the update! I really hope it turns out great. It was so beautiful and I'm glad the grounds still are. And, yes, they are taking down the volcano.
I think this trip was just wonderful, I know exactly what you mean about the bad moments and the good ones, but it still just being perfect for you. I absolutely can't wait to read more and especially hear all about alunai! Will you be linking your next TR here? I don't want to miss it!
Thanks, I have a feeling your trip was the same way with ups and downs, but overall perfect. And, yes, I plan to link the new report here and in my signature. I"m not 100% sure when I'll start it, but I'll update when I know.
Awesome wrap uP!! It really was a magical trip. So neat to see how much she has changed between that one and her June & August trips! side note, I loooked up airfare just for kicks and it's about 600 to honolulu...soooo have a blast and can't wait to see your photos!
I know, she's such a tiny little thing here and now she's a little kid and talking up a storm. Amazing how much difference a little bit of time makes in a toddler (as you know). Funny, $600 is actually a pretty good price, short of a price glitch!
(side note, not sure if it's true, but a co-worker told me she heard Delta had another price glitch a month or two ago?
)
Thank you for the great wrap-up and re-posting the wonderful pictures!
You're welcome and thank you!
You had such a wonderful and magical trip! You squeezed in so much fun and experienced so many holiday experiences - even while traveling with a toddler. It's always good to start those Disney World fans young!
That's right, start them young! It was a really magical trip that we'll always remember. And WDW at the holidays is always a treat.
I'm glad you and Dug had such a fun time with Izzy. I'm also glad you had a chance to stay at the Poly again before it was a construction disaster.
Me too! We got in at just the right time.
I can't wait for your next trip reports - especially Aulani! Have a phenomenal time!!!
Thank you!
What a perfect wrap up! Loved seeing all the pictures..I got a good chuckle out of a few of them including Izzy's nap with a snack still in her mouth
I still love that picture!
Just when you couldn't think the next trip could be more fun, it get's so much more fun! That's what I think i'm most excited about this next trip. Now that he's walking and is of a particular height, he can do some fun rides.
I'm sure you will have a great time! I'm so excited for Izzy to be able to do more things too!
Thank so much for doing this TR! Gave me some tips to use on our next trip (stroller napping at night, PJ change at the park) so thanks for that and TOTALLY looking forward to your Aulani trip!
Hope those things help you out! Love TRs for all the ideas! Aulani's going to be such a different kind of Disney experience!
I really enjoyed your trip report! I am currently 38 weeks pregnant, awaiting our 1st baby girl and I am already planning our 1st Disney trip as a family of three for next Halloween. Baby would be celebrating her 1st birthday. DH thinks it's way too early to go to Disney but I am all about "it's never too early to do Disney!" I know it is going to be a different kind of trip for us - we have been so many times that I don't need to go on all the rides, heck if we only make it to 2 parks in a week, that would be perfectly fine with me. I'm all about getting family photos, spending time at the resort and pool, and just enjoying some Disney family time! I loved learning about the baby's 1st haircut at the MK, I would definitely do that, and also plan on doing a photoshoot. Thanks for sharing your memories with us!
Wow, congratulations on your soon-to-be new baby girl!
A whole new world of Disney trips is waiting for you. Next Halloween would be great, I bet! Sounds like you have the right mindset about it. Since it sounds like your baby will be about exactly 1-year-old, you might want to check out khertz's TR from a few years ago about her son's first trip at that age - it really got me excited about taking her young! You can book the first haircut in advance through Disney dining, I believe. And photoshoot is through Disney Event Photography. Best of luck with the new baby and trip planning!
Aw, I LOVED your wrap-up! I'm sad this report is over, but look forward to your others. You convinced me that I want to go back to WDW in December at some point.
Yes, you need to go in early December sometime! Such a great time! Extra magical!
Off to get caught up on your Aulani PTR - it's getting close!
Only two weeks to go!
Loved Loved LOVED this TR! Please let us know when you post another!
Can't wait to read about the next trip!!!
Thank you so much! I will update when I start another. Or check my signature, as I always add them there. Yay for more trips!
