I'm giving in -- and writing my first trip report! This is a trip of many firsts -- first trip report, first dining plan (and it's free!), first deluxe resort stay, first trip in the heat of summer...we'll see how many more come along!
My husband and I are going back to Disney in August - taking advantage of the free dining! We really enjoy Disney -- maybe me more than him! I've been busy planning and planning, and happen to come upon the disboards - which are wonderful! Well be staying at the Contemporary we decided to upgrade because were a little nervous about the crazy heat! I'm so excited to stay at a monorail resort - especially since Epcot and Magic Kingdom are our favorite!
A bit about us - we're born and raised in Michigan. I'm a teacher, and he's in the insurance industry. We've been married for 2 1/2 years. I really wanted to get married at Disney, but we have a lot of family, so we had a wedding at home - which was wonderful. (However, I've convinced my husband that we'll do our vow renewals at Disney!) We had a wonderful Disneymoon at the Caribbean Beach Resort.
We have made our ADRs: breakfasts at Tusker House and Crystal Palace, and dinners at Ohana, Rose & Crown, Tutto Italia and the Plaza. Were excited as these are all new restaurants to us! We also are planning on seeing La Nouba. My husband has never seen Cirque du Soliel, but Ive seen O in Vegas.
I'll admit - I'm nervous about the crowd levels and heat that August will bring. Last time we came in January and were spoiled with the crowd levels and moderate temperatures. I have been in Disney during a couple spring breaks - so I know how crazy it can get! However, my job only allows certain times to come down to Disney - and unfortunately it's school vacations!
Only 67 more days and well be in Disney World!!!
Update #1 - Planner, Photopass, Etc.
Do we extend our vacation?
Vacation extended!
