I'm so happy for you with your trip next October!!! Yay!
My DH does not like talking about the trip or even planning but once he's there, it's all about Disney! Lol. I bet your DH will NOT abandon plans because you will be with your DFs.
You are so, so right! Nothing like having your close friends around to keep everyone on their best behaviour!
Woohoo! Bet you are doing the happy dance right now!
End of Sept, beginning of Oct are my usual dates! maybe we can have a DIS meet!
A Dis Meet would be great!!! Are we too early planning one 14 months in advance?!
I've been reading this trip report for most of the day! Your family is beautiful and the birthday parties were very impressive! I don't have kids yet but now I really want to plan a party for someone!
Oh, thank you so much! And Welcome!!! Hope you stick around!
And just a warning about the party planning - I have found it can become addictive! You should check out Amy Atlas and Tom Kat Studio - they are usually where I find my best inspiration!
Been reading your TR and even though this trip so far was not what you thought it would be, I'm glad to hear that another one is in the works for you! I am planning on a trip at that time too - would love to be down there for F & W festival next year...my dh is not the biggest Disney fan either but he does enjoy it once we get down there.
Thank you so much!
Just between me and you, I have a hunch the first of October 2011 is going to be THE time to be in the World!!!
Food & Wine is hands down my absolute favourite thing about the Parks. Nothing beats Food & Wine in my books!!! I already foresee using Disney's Kids Clubs a couple nights so the 4 adults can go out and enjoy the evening festivities at least once or twice during the trip!
MNSSHP is also a favourite. When Katie and I did the Party back in 2007, I vowed then and there to someday return with my family and go all out with an awesome group themed costume!
And I would love to one day tell my grandkids that I was at the MK for its 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th and 80th Anniversaries!
Good to know you had such a great experience with the PP photographer at BC. I am considering a family session next May when the three of us go back.
Sorry for your loss Trish! She sounds like an amazing woman.
I am excited to see Stormalong Bay when we eat at BC. I really want to stay there someday. Cute picture of the four of you! The BCV looks amazing!! Great shots of Illuminations from your MIL balcony!
Mickey's Backyard BBQ: seems a bit chaotic but so sorry you did not get to enjoy the entertainment of it.
for another trip!! I will be looking forward to hearing how your plans unfold. There are several of us who are debating on coming in for the F&W races, though the 5k. Well, two are pretty sure they will be going. Me, it depends on which PhD program I am in and if I can get away for the weekend.
Love the new title!!
Looking forward to reading more.
Thanks Stephanie! I am going to be following all of the reports very carefully regarding the inaugural F&W Half Marathon this year to see how it goes.
I must say though - I really wish it was early morning like the Princess and January Half. I have run at nite in the EEC, and quite enjoyed it, but the Half is a longer race which I think I would prefer in the daytime. Better to get character photos, and pictures in the Parks. Plus, I can't say I am postively thrilled about the concept of racing and sweating through a Half and then doing a cocktail party at F&W. Ewwww!
Given that they allow non-racers to come to the after party, I am assuming we might be able to run back to the BCV, shower, and return for the party. That is definitely what I will plan on doing. After we get our post-race metal photos, I will be out of there! Then we'll come back all cleaned up, with our metals around our necks and people will be amazed at how we could do all that running and not even break a sweat.
I also like the fact that they allow you to break up the Half with a teammate. That way, if I don't quite feel up to doing 13 miles, I can split it with someone, but still get to experience the race. However, at this point I am dreaming big...the Half!!!
I hope everything works out with you for running in the Race this year! Keep us posted!
