The Music

This morning during my "Latin Fusion" cardio class - a song came on that reminded me of the music used during the Illuminations show at EPCOT every night.

Friday afternoon at work we had some traditional Native America dancers/drummers perform for the school - they were amazing. My favorite thing about live music is actually being able to feel the music in your body.

If my memory is correct, I was able to feel the music a year and a half ago at EPCOT. It may not have been "live", but I can promise it was amazing.

I cannot wait to hear it again.

Where's the Bathroom?

Over my Christmas Break I potty-trained Liam.

It went well. Way better than I expected.

But now? Oh gosh...

We went out to dinner the other night. Liam asked to go to the bathroom at least 6 times until he finally pooped. I almost didn't take him that last time, but then he started crying/screaming, "poop! poop!"

While we were watching the Princess and the Frog Liam went to the bathroom at least 4 times - somehow managing to pee each time.

We were at the dentist today. Two trips to the bathroom.

Whenever we go to any store the first thing he says is, "I go potty."

I'm thinking conquering Disney World would have been easier in diapers for this guy.

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...

Mission Accomplished

Last night at dinner, my 2 year old who can barely get out a full sentence, says "I go Disney World?" Be still my heart... I'm raising 2 Disney lovers. What more could a Disney Mom ask for?

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!"

Still Trying to Believe This...

Last time we went to WDW we stayed at CBR and felt like we were living it up. We had an ADR at Big River Grille & Brewing Works located at BW. I fell in love with the place and thought, "Wow. We'd never be able to stay there." Now that we're members of the DVC our next trip will be staying at the BWV. After that BLT and then maybe AKL or OKW. Who knows. I'm just still amazed that we're going to be doing this.

Translation for those not familiar with disney speak:

Last time we went to Walt Disney World we stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort and felt like we were living it up. We had an advanced dining reservation at Big River Grille & Brewing Works located at the boardwalk. I fell in love with the place and thought, "Wow. We'd never be able to stay there." Now that we're members of the Disney Vacation Club our next trip will be staying at the Boardwalk Villas. After that Bay Lake Towers and then maybe Animal Kingdom Lodge or Old Key West. Who knows. I'm just still amazed that we're going to be doing this.
