We did it! Since our plans to visit Disney World in March 2020 were delayed (by a certain international pandemic that shall not be named), we've dreamed of the day we'd finally be able to make our Disney dreams come true -- and *it happened* this Spring Break, with a fantastic week in Florida visiting three parks, plus time at the Disney Boardwalk and Disney Springs and a visit to see cousins in Tampa.
We sadly we had to sit apart on our flight to Orlando -- no problem, though, we had fun together even while sitting apart. Amy and Oliver.
Gloria and Luke
Worry not: Chad's in charge of the Emergency Exits.
Boom! We were pleasantly surprised when we got an upgrade on our reservation at the Disney Yacht Club, between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios -- they gave us a great view of the water as well as a solid look at EPCOT's Spaceship Earth. [Note to file: It was a good idea we politely requested it 30 days in advance -- good tip to remember for the future!] Luke above.
Luke and Oliver kicking back.
A great perk of our hotel was that it has Disney's best pool complex. We enjoyed that for the afternoon on our check-in day.
Super slide!
Perfect day for the pool and a lot of lazy river.
Oliver.
Amy and Gloria got a special manicures ahead of this trip. Bring on Mickey!

Amy made a reservation for our first night at an Italian restaurant on the Disney Boardwalk, right by our hotel, since we knew that would be a favorite for Gloria.
Fun pasta and gelato for dessert!
Fun entertainment.
