Trip Report: Disney Christmas Morning! (December 2018)

If you missed the last update, you can check it out here.

I woke up on Christmas morning before my parents. I took some pictures of the bathroom, took a shower, and went out to the patio. It was a little chilly, but I'm in Disney world on Christmas so no complaints.

I just relaxed and took in the atmosphere. There were also whole masses of people getting on the ferry to go to Magic Kingdom. 

Eventually, my dad got up and we were off. We were planning to go mini-golfing at Winter Summerland. We figured it would be a fun Christmas activity while everyone else was at the crowded parks.

I took some pictures of the Poly while we waited for our Minnie Van to pick us up.

Getting the Minnie Van was a great idea-the roads were real crazy. The Magic Kingdom lanes were starting to back up toward Epcot.

There were other people at the golf course, but nothing crazy. We did end up doing the Summer Course, because there were less people on it. It still has Christmas elements, so I was still fine with it. They were playing seasonal music and Beach boys. It was a fun and festive round of golf.

Thanks for reading!

Trip Report: More New Things (10/17)

If you missed the last update, you can check it out here.

We waited for about ten minutes for a boat at the International Gateway. We were able to get seats in the back/outside. Those Crescent Lake boats can be stuffy inside so that was good.

There was a short sun shower while we were docked at the Beach Club, but what are you going to do.

Eventually, we got to the Dolphin resort which was where we thought we needed to be for mini-golf.

Turns out we actually needed to be at the Swan. So, we walked over. It took a little bit to figure out how to start the walk but it wasn't bad. Denise decided to stay at the hotel to rest in the AC. 

Dad and I made the one minute walk from the Swan to the mini-golf course. 

They said it would be a 10 minute wait and we could hang out in the arcade since there was AC.

That was a horrible idea. When we were waved out 5 minutes later, the heat and humid was extra oppressive.

We did what we call the fun course with the fantastical Fantasia elements.

We had fun even with the heat. Some of the holes were easier than others. I had one really bad one-score of 3- and 3 hole in ones (holes in one?). 

There was a family of four in front of us so we usually had to wait a couple minutes for them to finish. This helped because we were able to see their play discussions and assess our options.

My dad won at 50 and I had 56. He was 3 under par.

My favorite holes were the inside one because it was cooler and the one were the cherub plays music when you get the ball in.

After years of saying we would do this-finally did! I highly recommend it. It is totally worth it and there are AP/DVC discounts.
