We we both so sad to leave our trip and have to head home! We kicked off our last morning getting all packed up. A nice perk of club level was all the sweet helpers we had throughout our entire stay :) We felt like royalty! Disney always does it right and Yacht Club was an incredible experience. Hit up that VIP snack area for the last time ;)
We finished up at the pool and headed up to the room to get ready for our last night! We had dinner reservations at our actual resort (The Yachtsman) so it was really nice to be able to take our time knowing we just had to walk downstairs for dinner :) I loved that our view was overlooking Boardwalk! I've actually never visited the Boardwalk area but am super excited to do so sometime soon :) I love that there are practically endless options and opportunities at Disney World, you can go a million times and still have new things to experience!
Our third day was also our last full day of our trip! We kicked things off with free food in the Club Level dining area...and coffffeeee too! Then we headed to Hollywood Studios! We totally took our time because we didn't have any ride we felt was worth getting there before opening to RUSH to. Sure, we love Toy Story Mania but this trip was more about taking our time and ENJOYING the days rather than being strategic and having to rush.
The second day of our trip was also our actual anniversary! Monday May 28th which was neat because we did also get married on a Monday :) My big gift from Zach for my birthday was getting to do the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. It's a behind the scenes tour at Magic Kingdom. I've been SO PUMPED for this experience and we booked it on our actual anniversary to make it extra-special :) It's so much easier rolling into the parks when you're kid free haha! No strollers, coolers, a billion kid items. EASY!
Zach and I have always put traveling together as a top priority in our marriage. We use our trips as a time to really reconnect and to keep our marriage strong. Over the years we've had to switch up when and how we go as the more kids we have...the more difficult it is for someone to keep 'em! Zach works with Aflac and earns MANY free trips through the company so we try to stick to those as our "trips together" and do smaller, quicker trips other times of the year. We typically do a little getaway at Christmas as well as our Anniversary. This past year for my birthday Zach gave me the gift of an EPIC Disney trip ...but with us not knowing when Spear would be born we decided to hold off on it. Obviously we also didn't do anything for Christmas with Spear being born on December first. So we combined my birthday gift trip with our Christmas trip AND our Anniversary trip! It really worked out so well because the kids got out of school right before ...
For Kye's birthday this year he wanted to go to Disney World. We had just gone for Britt's birthday (and Tess's first visit) but yall know I'll never complain about going back :) I explained how, right now, Disney is actually a cheap trip for us in this post! This trip we did actually stay for free in our timeshare which worked out great. We did a two bedroom unit and used the extra bathroom for Tess's pack and play. She's in a big girl bed but will still travel in the pack and play for now (which I'm super thankful for as it makes travel SO much easier). We headed out on Thursday March 2nd. We checked Kye out of school late enough that he'd still be counted as present for the day ;) You gotta work the system with how strict they are about attendance! We made great time and checked in quickly to our condo. The kids LOVE the unpacking and settling in process. I'm a person who likes to fully unpack. Even for just a short stay somewhere. I like to...
