Hi, I'm new around these forums, so apologies in advance if I break any protocols.
We'd booked a family cruise (my SO and kids, parents, brother and his family) over Canadian thanksgiving weekend. (Yay!) And also, during child 1's birthday. As you can imagine, she was pretty amped when she found out.
Then a funny thing happened - my cousin decided to get married and have his T.O reception that weekend. (D'oh!)
So, one mad scramble later, and we're rebooked on the Fantasy starting the following weekend. But what of C1's birthday? Well now, the four of us are planning to head down to Orlando on thanksgiving Monday and spend a couple of days - including her birthday at the parks. We have some no expire passes, so why not, right?
That said, we have not officially booked the flights or a place to stay yet, but we're more airbnb types than Disney resort types, so we probably have a bit more flexibility in that respect. But given the cruise, I think we're at least pot committed to get down there, and a few extra days in the area won't hurt.
The other big challenge is to try and book Cinderella character dining and be our guest on the birthday. Wish me luck on that one!
