So far...
The plan:
Leave March 10th - return March 14th.
Stay at the Beach Club - haven't been there yet, close walk to EPCOT, nightlife on the Boardwalk...
Things we can't do when the kids are there:
Go para-sailing - Mike says he'll just watch!
Have lunch with an imagineer - Mike's pick.
Ride all the rollar coasters - I haven't tried Mount Everest yet. Also - I haven't tried Splash Mountain - so those are two must dos.
Places we want to eat at:
Le Cellier
California Grill
Narcoossee's
Artist Point
'Ohana
Mama Melrose
Too many places to choose from... we definitely want to try Le Cellier. And either California Grill or Narcoossee's. I think we'll save 'Ohana for when the family is there. Mama Melrose offers priority seating for Fantasmic, but I don't think we'll need that since when we're going isn't too busy. I think lunch with an imagineer is at the Brown Derby.

The Early Planning Stages
I swear one of my favorite things to do is plan out a WDW trip.
Where to stay? Where to eat?
The next trip we take will be something special. Just Mike and I going to celebrate 10 years of "happily ever after!"
So... where are we going to stay? Where are we going to eat? Are we going to go para-sailing? Have lunch with an imagineer?
All things I'm in the midst of planning - and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Rope Drop
A perfect Disney Day for me involves getting to the Magic Kingdom in time to see their rope drop ceremony. It brings tears to my eyes every time. Not only that, but then you're into the park before it gets crazy crowded and can ride so many rides in that first hour while other vacationers are sleeping in.
We were only able to make the rope drop once this trip (with three visits to the MK). Of course, one of those three visits we were in the park before it opened having breakfast with Chip, Dale, Pluto, and Minnie Mouse - so that's fun too.
Anyway - the ceremony is pretty neat and always involves a real live family. Like one they pick from people waiting around for the park to open. Could you imagine being that family? I think part of the reason the show brings tears to my eyes is because I am truly so happy for that family.
Of course - once the show is over they "drop the ropes" and let everyone into the Most Magical Place on Earth. And then, it's the walk up to the castle that gets me. And all the Cast Members standing outside their shops wishing everyone a "Good morning!" Oh! I just love it.
Oh - and all these pictures were taken with a disposable camera! I left the freshly charged camera battery at our hotel room. Could you imagine? A disposable camera? I think I did alright with it...

Characters!
One of my favorite things to do at Walt Disney World is to meet the characters. I know it is hokey and I am too old, but I still love it! And I love the pictures! I love the interaction! Tinkerbell and the Fairies were HANDS DOWN THE BEST interaction this trip. Bravo to those cast members, I will never forget that one.
I don't mind waiting in a short line to see the kids come face to face with a favorite character and snapping a quick shot for the scrapbook. I never really understood the autograph thing, and actually wasn't real fond of the people that pushed their way in to get autographs... That was until I had 2 shy children. Now I get it, and now they make you wait in a line as well. It use to be that characters would just roam the parks with a handler, and subsequently get mobbed by people as excited as I was to see them.
The autograph thing helps both my children approach the characters and gives them something to say or do when they meet them, rather than stand there dumbfounded. Here are a few pics from our most recent meet!
