Good afternoon from Portland!

Update: The Portland port is an industrial port...which means no "walk off on your own". So Disney arranged for a steady line of double decker busses to provide transport to Portland Castle (5 minute ride) and into the town of Weymouth (20 minute ride).

🚌 We boarded a waiting bus at the port and off we went. We skipped the castle and headed into Weymouth. The town was a cute seaside town with everything you'd expect including a draw bridge.

👜 We shopped and got some sweet treats!

🚢 When it was time to sail away, the Portland Choir came...as a surprise...to sing us off! As well as, residents dressed in traditional 1815 military uniforms and shot a cannon! Oh and Mickey joined us!

Good morning from Ireland!

Update: Ireland did not disappoint!

🚌 We traveled by bus from Cobh to Kinsale. It was the perfect weather and perfect little town. I'm still not sure how the driver did it...
🚶‍♀️ Whike we were admiring the steps and the boys were running up them, a local older gentleman stopped us and shared the story of "the stone steps". That is how they used to referred. They were just stone climbing up and this was how the kids went to school.
🧱Charles Fort was great to explore. We learned that is used to be open to.the public and you could just freely camp there...and that for a time a group of hippies moved in and stayed for quite some time!

Good morning from Scotland!

Update: It was great day!
🌈 We started out with a beautifully bright rainbow when getting off the ship, followed by a bagpiper playing for us!
🚌 We took a bus to Stirling and walked around the cutest cobblestone streets and shopped at some small shopes.
🍽 Then we headed off to 'Birds & Bees' for a traditional lunch of steak pie with apple and berry pie for dessert.
🛥 We ended the day at Falkirk Wheel on the Scottish Chanels.

It's time to travel! Who's ready?

Here's a run down on how the new Multi Pass worked for us today.

1am Bought Genie multi pass $21 a person
Picked
Frozen 3-4
Figment 355-455
Spaceship Earth 455-555
*it picked around dining reservations and then I modified to fit our wants. I stacked them as you can see. It was even going to let me stack Figment at 315-415, but we like to meander through the countries and snack! I can still modify them at this point and as the day goes on.
At 7am got a virtual queue (VQ)for Guardians group 79
*estimated call back 209pm
11am
*skyliner from Caribbean Beach to Epcot
1205p lunch at Via Napoli
*finished about 130p
Shopped!
People watched!
Meet Mickey & friends Posted 25 (235p)
*waited 7-10 total
*met Mickey, Goofy, Minnie
Nemo posted 10 (250p)
*walk on
Explored Journey to water
*walk through
Guardians keeps getting bumped, messing up our stacking
*At 326...now 414p estimate and modified Figment to 330p.
*planning to skip Frozen at this point
335p use LL for Figment
*less than 5 min wait
*got stopped a few times..bad audio
353p got in line to meet Figment
*waited 5 min
Also....picked next & modified LL selections
*after 2nd scan on Figment could pick a new park and LL
*chose TofT LL for 6-7
*modified Frozen to Millennium at 655-755
Finally called for Guardians at 421p
*stopped at Club Cool on our way
439 entered VQ line
*520 entered 1st waiting room
*524 entered 1st pre-show room
*527 entered 2nd pre-show room
*531 entered final queue
*544 on ride
We ended up just people watching and then headed over to Beaches & Cream for a walk up reservation. We didn't have the best luck with LL today, but with few rides at Epcot, our late start due to a late arrival and our VQ kept getting pushed, we did our best.

Overall, we still like the new Multi Pass. It works very similar to the old FastPass+ and a little better. As soon as we either used or canceled a ride...we could pick another...in any park (as long as you have park hopping abilities). Crowds were medium today. So the park favorites were gone early for pre-planning, but don't give up....we saw quite a few popular rides pop back in throughout the day.

One con....you are using the phone a bit more again. Don't forget those fuel rods!

Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa is the most beautiful resort I have stayed in. The accommodations are beautiful and comfortable. The food was delicious. The characters remind you that this is a Disney property, without being overwhelming. This is one "Disney" vacation that is actually relaxing! This vacation was a family favorite, and we cannot wait to go back!

🍁 🇨🇦 Welcome to Canada! 🇨🇦 🍁

Once we arrived in Vancouver we took an Uber to the Pan Pacific hotel. This hotel is directly above the port. You have a beautiful view of the city and top of the line convenience when it comes to embarkation.

🏨 When we arrived, bell service whisked our luggage off to be held until the rooms were ready.

🏨 We would not be getting the scooter for my mom until we were on the ship so we stayed in the hotel and had a late brunch. It was very good, but also a bit expensive. The convenience was well worth it.

🏨 The Pan Pacific: This hotel is definitely convenient. The cruise terminal is just a simple elevator ride away. You can call bell service on embarkation day and they will come get your luggage and the next time you see it....it will be outside your stateroom door!

🏨 We were able to walk around a couple block radius to find a YUMMY bakery with the most delicious sandwiches and cookies!

To be honest...we booked a different hotel at first. We booked a bougier...more our normal preference ...at first. The original hotel was cheaper and "newer", but 20 minutes away from the port. We took a long hard look at what we would need to do...
✔️ 2 Ubers for 5 people and 9 bags
✔️ check our own bags in
✔️ the Uber stop for the Pan Pacific is 2 full bocks away from the hotel/port

In the end when we finally just bit the bullet and made the hotel change, we got lucky and the price had dropped. We actually spent $11 less per room. We were ready to pay the additional $150 per room for the convenience. I can tell you, it would have been worth it.

This is one of the best trips we have ever taken! I would be happy to help you plan your next adventure!

On day 2 of travel we took the Amtrak Cascades train from Seattle to Vancouver. We seemed to be the least prepared for this portion...not for lack of reading. We read all we could read about "what to know", and still felt extremely rushed, extremely unprepared, and as if we were doing everything wrong! Lucky you though...I now have a great understanding of what needs to be done to make it super smooth!

🚆 We first declared our checked bags. We had 7 that needed to be weighed (can only be 50 lbs) and tagged.

🚆 We then proceeded to a passport & ticket check. From here we were provided a paper ticket for a seat on the train.

🚆 We took our luggage to the last car for storage and then...

🚆 We boarded the train, found a seat (the workers were great at saving you seats together) & settled in for the beautiful ride into Vancouver.

🚆 There is a Cafe car on this train. The line for this gets long...very quick. In turn, somethings begin to sell out. We were able to wait until the line died way down and we were still able to get some great selections. (The banana bread was DELICIOUS!)

🚆 The Cascades line does make stops, and people get on and off around you. The scenery is beautiful and not to be missed.

🚆 You will need to keep your passport handy for a secondary check along the route. You will also be handed a customs form to complete and turn in at arrival into Vancouver. (They didn't have pens...be sure to pack one!)

🚆 Once we arrived in Vancouver, they asked us to remain seated while they unloaded all luggage. When all luggage has been unloaded they begin to unload the train, car by car, as to keep things movong smoothly. They lined that luggage up along the walkway into the station and you simply grabbed your bag and kept moving. (They has luggage carts in the path as well....in case you too have 7 bags!)

We chose this route for the scenery and ease. Also, flying into Seattle was a lot less expensive then into Vancouver directly.
