Your plans sound great! You guys are going to have a blast! Just leave that last day open and see where you feel like going.
I'm really excited, I think we'll have a great time. I am leaning towards just not planning anything for the last day and see what we feel like doing. I was just trying to figure out how many days we needed to get on Mom's ticket, but really the difference between 6 & 7 days is only like $3, so if we don't go to a park that last day it's not like we wasted a bunch of money.
Yep, SW MN. (very close to the SD border) Let me know if you ever get down this way!
No one on the Dis lives here! LOL! A May trip sounds absolutely wonderful!! I think that would be my second favorite time to go.
It's been a couple of years since I went up, it's about time for a visit! Depending upon how far south you are, we've probably driven very close to you several times! Depending on our mood we go one of two ways, we'll either cut over at Sioux Falls and take 23 north (my Mom's hometown is very close to Marshall) or we stay on I29 and cut over just north of Brookings.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the weather is like in May. I've been when it's chilly, stiffling hot and then once when it was in between. I'm hoping May is plenty hot enough to swim, but not so hot that we're melting like we do in July!
Your May trip sounds like it is going to be a blast! How nice to be able to get away with just your mom for a week!
I'm looking forward to it. No kids to complain about me stopping to shop (or husbands telling me I'm spending too much money
), no one pulling me from one attraction to the next, or constanly begging for one more treat or one more trip to the arcade.... Yeah, I'm gonna enjoy it! Of course, I'm sure I'll have those moments when I miss the kids and feel guilty for leaving them too!
I love that you are going in May with your mom!! We have gone in May and have had incredible weather, very pleasant. Tell your mom is beautiful, I would never guess she is 60! You two will have such a wonderful time making mother/daughter memories... great idea!
I will tell her, she'll turn 62 about a week after we get home and she's still as active & energetic as ever! It's in her genes though, her mother worked and golfed and stayed active until she got sick and had to stop in 2005. I'm sure my mom will be the same way. I'm really looking forward to creating some special memories on this trip.
Awwww.......I think it's fantastic that you are able to take a trip with your mom! You'll be able to build wonderful memories that you'll always be able to cherish and look back on...
I'm so glad that she agreed to go, there was a time when there would be no way that she would leave my stepdad at home alone for a week, but thankfully that has changed. She and her mom & sisters had always talked about taking a trip together someplace warm & fun, but Grandma always said, 'after Grandpa's gone'. He was 8 years older and not in nearly as good of health as she. But God had other plans and my Grandmother died of cancer before my Grandfather passed and without ever having gone on that trip with her girls. I know that has stuck with my mom because she seems to live her life more for today now.
Your Mom is beautiful! And yes, I can only hope to look that good when I'm 60 too!!!!
Your plans look wonderful. Lots of Epcot time for fully taking advantage of the festival. I can't wait to see your pics and everything....the F&G festival has been on my wish list since I heard about it, it always looks so beautiful.
We have had a Noon ME pick-up in the past and it was fun to just dip into MK to get a few things done, grab some lunch and say good-bye to the Castle. It made it easier to leave!
Thanks for the compliment on my mom, she's a pretty special lady!
I tried to get a bunch of Epcot time in there, I know that is what she will enjoy the most. And I can't wait for the F&G festival either, all the photos that I've seen are so pretty. I just can't wait to share WDW with her and hopefully get her to understand what keeps drawing me back there.
I do love to finish up a trip at MK, somehow it makes the trip seem complete. Even if we just pop in and wander around, grab some corn dog nuggets (yep, put that in there just for you
), and take some goodbye photos it'll be worth going over I think. We'll see!
Well I thought for sure that my PhotoPass CD would come today, it shipped a week ago for goodness sake! But, no luck, so I think I'm going to continue without it and post the PhotoPass pics when they come!
