95 days and counting. It seems every year we go to Disney, and every year we say 'Well now we can't go back next year. We're broke." Then along comes the next year, and we (as in 'I') get jittery. Next thing you know we're talking about how we might be able to make it work. And low and behold, we're going again.
Of course there is a chance we can't go - after all we technically haven't paid for it yet, but I like to keep things positive. And seriously we need to take this trip. Our little girl just hit 40 in. it's not like I can wait until next year for her to ride Splash Mountain.
Important dates:
Tomorrow: Get passport photos for Princess Aurora and renew her passport!
July 23rd: 45 days away. Time to pay!
Sept 6th: Time to fly
Sept 15th Time to say good-bye to the mouse for yet another year.
First up Cast of Characters:
Our little Tinker Bell was about 9 mos on our last trip and will be about 19 mos on our next trip. She LOVED the characters last time and we really hope that doesn't change this time! Preparations have begun in earnest.
Our big girls: Pirate Lilo turned five on our last trip and will be 5.5 this trip. Last trip she rode the 40 in rides, but this year she's big enough for Space mountain. Princess Aurora was three last trip. She had her first visit to the bBB. This trip she'll be just four and big enough for Splash and BTMRR.
DH. The once reluctant Disney traveler is happily going back for his 5th (or is it 6th?) trip. He doesn't enjoy Disney as much as I do but he enjoys it a lot more than most people enjoy any of their vacations.
Then there's me. I took my first Disney trip when I was about seven (I don't think even my parents know how old any of us were). I've been there pretty much every year since. Growing up my family was very focused on making the most of our time at Disney to ride rides. To see and do as much as possible. Over the years Dh and I have found we like to experience the magic more than the amount of Disney.
Gluten-free desserts. For the last three years and as many trips, we've been strictly gluten-free. Which is one of the biggest reason we LOVE going to Disney. Eating is so delicious and easy. Though this trip we might have a few curves thrown into our dinning plans.
Well that's it for now. I have to check to see if I've done these pictures right, and organize myself a bit better to get things rolling here.
Coming up:
Resort choice and how this trip came to be
Which parks which days and the method we use to choose them
ADRs
MNSSHP ideas
What we do to prep the kids for 12 hours of travel and a week+ at Disney
Until next time: M-I-C See ya real soon K-E-Y Why? because we like you M-O-U-S-E
