WDW March 2026 Take Two

We are very happy to have made it to spring break!

We left for Florida at dinner time on Friday and planned to drive about six hours to Florence, SC before stopping for the night. Thanks to pretty terrible weather and traffic, the drive took eight and a half hours, but we finally checked in to our hotel at 1:30 am. The remainder of the drive on Saturday wasn't much better and we didn't even get to the Florida state line until 1:30 pm, but we eventually made it to WDW a little after 5:00 pm!



We spent one night at Coronado Springs, which has become one of our very favorite resorts; I only wish it could have been a longer stay! We went to MK for a couple of hours, then took a bus from there over to Boardwalk to wander around before a late dinner at Beaches and Cream!










I rode the PeopleMover by myself
when I was at MK the previous weekend

I much prefer riding it with C!

we were so tired,
but incredibly happy!



this was my favorite egg
in the display at Yacht Club


we happened upon this very cool collection of
spools of thread, each one designed to
represent a character!

we loved both of the displays -
super fun to identify all of the characters!

we try to visit the Wedding Gazebo where we
got married in 1994 whenever we can!

the same goes for the Wedding Pavilion
where we renewed our vows in 2014!

On Sunday morning, we checked out of Coronado Springs and drove over to Wilderness Lodge for breakfast at Whispering Canyon, which was amazing as always! We then relaxed at the resort for a few hours before driving over to Port Canaveral for our Disney Cruise!



we shared the breakfast skillet
with the vegan sausage

we love this spot at Wilderness Lodge!

looking forward to an amazing cruise!

Happy Tails to you!

Life Lately March 2026

It's hard to believe we're at the end of another month because it feels like I JUST wrote the February post! The March recap is both brief and a couple of days early because Spring Break is finally here and I'll be writing about that separately.

we got to see our baby nephew
three weekends in a row!
(he lives in NY)

Other than work (and the trip to WDW last weekend that I just posted about yesterday), March really came down to only a few things: 1) we went to Canada for a family dinner and had interviews for our Nexus applications at the border (it was a whirlwind weekend and I have almost no pictures to show for it!); 2) we went to see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway; and 3) I got rainbow hair extensions! Honestly, that's about it, in addition to an assortment of cute Avalanche moments!

we drove part of the way to Canada
after school on a Friday

the sky and the sunset were so great!

late night dinner at Primanti Bros.

we stayed at a hotel on the Friday night
and as usual, Avalanche could not
make sense of the elevator LOL

he does love hotels though!

living his best life

our interviews were at 10 am
on the Saturday morning and
once those were finished, we crossed the
border in Niagara Falls,
which is not our usual route


my favorite Broadway musical
of all time!


it was an amazing show!

my stylist created these
gorgeous extensions for me
and will re-dye them as needed
since they'll fade over time
as I wash my hair / go swimming

he did such a beautiful job because
they are placed very inconspicuously
so that I've got to make a point of arranging
my hair certain ways if I want them to be seen -
otherwise, they're pretty much hidden...
my stylist is THE BEST!


these are the kinds of pics I get from C
when I'm at school...Avalanche is a complete
lazybones most of the time





Arby's is his favorite

the epitome of spoiled: eating Arby's while
curled up in a comfy armchair


I put my reading glasses down on my desk pad
with Avalanche's picture on it and inadvertently
made him appear even more judgy than usual

We spent last night at WDW and are now heading over to Port Canaveral for our Disney Cruise! We booked this in June 2024, so we've been waiting a long time for this one!

Happy Tails to you!
