Disney Day 36

This was going to be a Hollywood Studios day so my first order of business was to get a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance. For those who don’t know, Rise is a Star Wars attraction and it does not have a traditional queue. The only way to ride is to get a “boarding

Disney Day 35

This morning it was time to say goodbye to the Grand Floridian and switch over to Caribbean Beach. Disney makes switching hotels fairly easy. You bring your bags to Bell Services and they will transport them over to the new hotel for you. They don’t arrive at the new hotel until late in the afternoon

Disney Day 34

Today was going to be a full Magic Kingdom day. I was really in no rush and didn’t even set an alarm but I was awake by 6:30, the Magic Kingdom opened at 8 am so I was up and there by 7:30 am. I walked into the park and loved seeing the characters out

Disney Day 33

Since I had an early night, I woke up to the news that Disney had changed its masks requirements. Masks were now optional when you were outside. Masks were still required for any indoor location, attraction and queue, even if the attraction / queue were outside. Going down for this trip, my expectation was that

Disney Day 32

As planned, with the Princess and Dopey challenge completed, it was time to go to Walt Disney World to celebrate. This would be a solo trip with some meeting up with friends at different points. I had an early flight down to Orlando which was thankfully uneventful. I had arranged a town car pick up

Disney Days 28 – 31: The Dopey Challenge

I started training for this race series in November and it was finally time to get it done. As with Princess, this would have happened live in Walt Disney World but due to Covid, it was virtual. Different from Princess, I was not signed up to do this live in the first place. Disney requires

Disney Days 25, 26 & 27

I am a big fan of the runDisney races and was registered to do all 3 races in February for the Princess weekend. Of course, due to to Covid, those events went virtual. The January race events also went virtual. I was not signed up for them but you were able to register for them

Disney Day #23

Animal Kingdom had extended hours this day so it was open from 8 am to 6 pm. I was out at the bus stop at 7 am. It was still dark which made it feel like a RunDisney morning! The bus arrived shortly and there was only myself and another couple. Getting a scooter was

Disney Day #22

I arrived at the Magic Kingdom at the park opening. Easy and smooth entry and then I headed right to the scooter rental area. I have never rented an electric scooter before and the cast member was great about explaining everything to me. It was actually pretty easy. It was such a life saver. I

Disney Day #21

The moral of the story for this day is that I shouldn’t have been stubborn and rented a scooter as soon as I arrived at Hollywood Studios, as my knee was not doing well at all. I thought about it and even started to walk that way when I entered the park but then I
