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.

49 days

What's left to do?

Our last trip, our first trip as a family, I was busy busy busy getting things ready. Things that we probably didn't need, but were fun, either way.

Now? What to do?

Our park tickets arrived, hotel reservations made, dining reservations, what parks/which days figured out, flight arranged, Magical Express is all set up...

I'm not going crazy with matching outfits this time - the boys did get one new shirt each. We've got Mickey hoodies that will fit them just fine. I'm not planning their clothes, really, until it's closer and I can see the weather forecast.

Last time, we did goody bags. Mickey, or one of his friends, would leave a little bag in the room for the boys to open in the morning. As if they needed something else to be excited about, but it was fun. I'm not doing that again. Mickey will send a package (new shirts and a countdown chain) after Christmas with a letter saying how excited he is we're coming back and maybe explaining that goodies are given every day only to those who are there for the first time. But, more importantly Mickey will let Quinn know that Emily will be joining us on this trip. That news, will have Quinn jumping up and down - I promise you.

So... no goody bags, no more t-shirts/shopping... hmmmm...

Tickets

So, it's even more official now. I've purchased our airfare and our park tickets through Undercover Tourist. If you're not yet receiving emails from Mouse Savers - sign up. They send a secret link once a month with a great deal on park tickets through the Undercover Tourist. Sweet!



Just 85 more days until we're in a place "where dreams come true!"

Planning...the early stages

Before this past trip in October, the last time I was at Disney World was 8 years ago. Now, I want to go again. Right Now.

This winter I seemed to survive a bit better and I think it's because I had a little trip to Arizona planned for February. Something to look forward to after all the cold and dreary days. So it only makes sense, that for my emotional well being, I should plan a trip for next winter to Disney World.

I think park tickets are free if you're under 3 - so we better go before Liam turns 3 next June.

I want to go in one year - in March. I think I'll start visiting the disboards again and watching for discounts.

And then maybe we should go to CA and visit DisneyLand - I've never been there and I have a ton of friends in CA that we could also visit. Then, it wouldn't be a total Disney trip - so that would make Mike happy.

I don't know. But we're going somewhere.
