SURPRISE ROAD TRIP TO DISNEY WORLD || Checking into All Star Music Resort || Travel Days

2 weeks ago we gave our 2 youngest daughters the shock of their life when we started driving to Disney World and they had NO CLUE! We knew when we bought annual passes that we wanted to take frequent short trips and split them between our kids. We have 4 kids, but they are in way different stages of life, which makes family trips a little bit trickier. This way, by taking the youngest 2 now, and oldest 2 later, we can focus on what they want to focus on! SO, we were looking at the calendar, and saw our opportunity. We booked a trip VERY last minute, (like we're talking the week before), packed in secret and revealed it to them before we hit the US Border. It's a memory I'm sure they will remember forever!
We hope you'll enjoy this video of our 2 day road trip from Ottawa, Ontario to Orlando, Florida (including a stop at Buc-ee's). We also check into All Star Music and give you our first impression review! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss the rest of the trip!! (Side note: I am still going go finish our 2022 trip and also our January 2023 trip, but sharing the most recent trip seems like a good idea)
Also, let us know in the comments: What is your favourite Disney Resort?

That’s really kind of you to say. Thank you!!

[@VirtualKoharu]

the way you recorded this brought back so many childhood memories. south of the border was a checkpoint for us as well and i atarted crying, watching your vlog felt exactly how it did when i went as a kid

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Awe 🥺🥺 I hope it was a good cry and not a bad cry!

[@TimothyStaton-io9uv]

I'm not crying! I'm not crying! OK IM CRYING! 😭😭😭

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

It’s okay…I was crying too!

[@qudarrowilliams5156]

That is absolutely amazing. The best feeling ever!!!

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Thank you so much! It really is such a wonderful feeling!

[@qudarrowilliams5156]

@@ThisIsDisneyLife I completely agree! I am going on my first Disney cruise in September with vloggers I follow and the Halloween party! I enjoyed watching your vlogs.

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

@@qudarrowilliams5156 oh that’s so awesome!! Have the best time and thanks so much for watching!! We appreciate it!

[@claraa6474]

ohh my god your kids reaction was so precious!!

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Wasn’t it!? We were both so shocked by her reaction. Something none of us will ever forget!

[@Thatgirlbella]

My parents just surprised us ok Christmas in July that we will be in Disney on actual Christmas 😄😄

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

That’s so awesome! Have an amazing time!!

[@magicismurder6235]

Such a cute surprise. I was wondering, will you be uploading more vlogs? Would love to see the Magic Kingdom vlog for this trip.

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

@@magicismurder6235 thank you so much! your comment made my day. Yes…I will eventually post vlogs for each day of the trip! Thank you for asking, because sometimes it seems silly posting a video from a year ago, but you encouraged me. Life is busy, so I got behind, but it will come eventually!!! 🧡🧡

[@melissayakaback]

Loved watching this! Makes me want to drive to Florida, TODAY!

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Haha…me too!!! 😄 It’s a long drive, but I kinda love it! (Thanks for watching btw!)

[@mnmrmust]

That was so sweet and takes me back to the times when my wife and I surprised our kids with trips to Disneyland or Walt Disney World. Our kids are 24 and 27 now, cherish these memories! Your girls are adorable! Oh, and the Akershus character meal was our daughter's favorite - best princess interactions ever!

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

That’s so awesome! I’m forever grateful for the memories we’ve made with them! We loved Akershus! Someday I’ll get the video up! 😄

[@TheSylviad]

I'm not crying. 😢

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

I sure was!!! 😭😭😭

[@amangill3154]

my favorite is art of animation hello from calgary

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Yes!! We love that resort. We stayed there for the first time in January and it is definitely one of our favourites!

[@HanifaMH]

Hi, I really like watching your videos May I ask where can we meet disney princesses? and is there a definite time we can meet them? and if you don't mind could you please tell me who is this place we can meet? like we can meet belle here, we can meet ariel here, etc. oh yeah what about princess sofia is she still in Hollywood studios Thank you...

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Hi! Thank you so much. We're so glad you enjoy our videos. Thank you for watching. So you can meet Disney princesses mainly in Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Right now you can meet the live action Ariel in Hollywood Studios. Unfortunately Sofia isn't there anymore (as far as I can tell). So in Magic Kingdom, you can meet Cinderella, Rapunzel, Tiana and Elena in the Princess Fairytale Hall. They're there all day. You can meet Belle in Enchanted Tales with Belle - she's there until 7:30 (according to the app) and you can also meet Ariel in her Grotto until 7:00. Sometimes you can meet Jasmine near the Aladdin flying carpets ride in Adventureland. In Epcot you can meet Anna & Elsa, Snow White, Mulan, Belle, Sleeping Beauty and sometimes Jasmine around the world showcase. You have to check the app for times, because they vary. You can also meet some princesses at Cinderella's Royal Table and Akershus Dining. Hope that helps!

[@amangill3154]

nice disney surprise

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun!

[@markheying2830]

Do you remember which Princess Dresses you have?

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

They’re all hanging up in our closet. We have a few Elsa dresses, a Belle, a Rapunzel, a Merida (but it’s seen better days), a couple Encanto dresses…we have quite a few, but a lot of them are really old! Lots of them were from Amazon or Walmart as we don’t have a Disney store in Canada anymore.

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

meanwhile your impossible burgers bun has egg in it. Its not a vegan or vegetarian meal, its just replacing the red meat with an alternative for those who happen to not like red meat itself.

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Well, I wouldn’t say that it’s just an alternative for people who don’t like red meat. Lots of vegetarians eat eggs so it’s a good meat free option. And do we actually KNOW the bun has egg in it? Any bread recipe I’ve ever made doesn’t have egg in it. Either way, no one is claiming it’s vegan. It’s a plant based food option.

[@lisathomas1622]

Thank you for sharing 🎉 it was fun.

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Thank you for watching !!

[@poocky100]

Thanks for the video. You have a wonderful family. God bless you. 😊🙏🌸

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Thank you so much! That is very kind! ❤

[@Alyssa_Dutson]

This was the sweetest video ever! 🩷

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Thank you so much! It was such a wonderful surprise.

[@electra7329]

“Pajamas to Disney!” My daughter said that too 😂 then not even 5 miles later she began the age old question “are we there yet?” We weren’t even out of our state 1200 miles away 😂😂

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Hahaha..oh dear! That is the worst question on a road trip! Lol

[@poocky100]

We stayed at all star music in 1999 right behind the electric guitar. We loved the piano pool 😊

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

So fun! I’m sad I didn’t go check out more of the resort. We were only there 3 days and spent all our times at the park, so I barely saw the resort. What we saw we loved though! ❤

[@OurDiznyFamily]

Omg 😢😢😢😢😢 your precious girl - water works in full blast! We leave in 9 day’s driving from Kansas - can’t wait !

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

I know! She was so happy!! You’re going to have the best time!! have a good drive and a great trip! 🤍

[@tamist5079]

I love Pop Century I stayed recently at All Star Movies for my first time it was good but I love the skyliner at Pop you pay more but I fly so no car

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

The skyliner is wonderful! We’ve never stayed at Pop, but we stayed at Art of Animation in January and the skyliner is a game changer! Loved it. I’ve heard lots of people say that they love Pop, so we’ll have to try it sometime!

[@tamist5079]

It’s all I need I recommend the 50’s area (my favourite)

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Thanks for the suggestion! I hope to stay there one day!

[@markheying2830]

Just remember that a Disney Vacation is usually not complete without meeting some of the Characters.

[@ThisIsDisneyLife]

Oh yes…we always meet the characters! It’s a must do.

[@markheying2830]

@@ThisIsDisneyLife Also if it’s possible, the Little Girl should wear an Elsa Dress to meet Anna & Elsa & a Rapunzel Dress to meet Rapunzel.
