I know that we have done some late nights with her sleeping in the stroller. There's one in particular that I remember from Dec. 2013 where we put her in jammies at Epcot and stayed late and she fell asleep. So that is certainly an option and we'll keep it in mind. And I think it could work for you. I think we're leaning more towards the split evenings because the freedom of being solo when you are usually responsible for a child is a sweet treat. I mean, time together pushing a stroller with a sleeping child isn't bad either. But the idea of going to MK myself feels very freeing and exciting - and I won't have to worry about her waking up or something.
However, that said, she likes fireworks. In June, Lauren and I stayed for Wishes and Izzy chilled in the stroller and watched the show without issue. Same with the Frozen fireworks in August. Lauren's daughter Aria used her special earmuffs to block out the sound (I've seen them in a few TRs with little ones). So, yeah, use 4th of July to see how tolerated they are.
Just know your options and be flexible in your plans and I think you'll have a great time.
Smart to distract her for nail cutting!
I'm excited to see how she likes this show now. Back at 14 months, she just hadn't been exposed to much Disney Junior, so was not into the show at all. Now she demands to watch "Mimmie" and sees plenty of promos for the other shows, so I think she'll get a kick out of it. I so wish they had a MMCH playground, though. How awesome would that up-slide be?!Oh, fun! You're going to have a great time seeing her light up at some of these things!
Thanks! And welcome back!
Yeah, there are too many good food choices at Epcot. Sunshine Seasons is great, but there are so many tempting things at the booths that it's hard to justify going to SS when they're there.
I know, we made up the schedule and I was like, "Wait?! When are we going to ride all the Fantasyland stuff?!" I mean, we can do the mountains and such on our nights, but Izzy needs MK time too. I hope we've squeezed in enough. And once we have more SWW info, maybe that will help figure out more. Dug did say tonight that he doesn't need reasons to go to WDW (we were talking about the special events in general, not just SWW), but since we are going during SWW, he really wants to make the most of it.
You morning person, you!
I'm pretty excited to finally set foot inside the castle!
She is really excited for the trip. The main things she tells people are that she's going to ride Mickey's boat and Pluto will be there too, then she's going to eat in the castle, and she wants to ride Goofy's roller coaster.
I ran into her daycare provider at Target the other day and she told me Izzy's been telling her all of that frequently. 
That is quite the endorsement! We're excited to try it!
Haha, sorry to send you on a wild goose chase for an update that doesn't yet exist.

and thanks for being here! 
It's a parent's job to make sure their kids enjoy the appropriate music. But it freaked me out awhile back when I discovered that our "oldies" station no longer plays music from my parents' childhoods - it's now from MY childhood. 
But then today, despite the fact that nobody seemed to expect much, Disney busted out the celebrity list, the show schedule, AND released the FP+ for the shows 
The rest of our evening is open, though. I just need to be at MK for Wishes, but we don’t have strong plans between dinner and that – maybe just wandering the boardwalk. So, I’m stalking the dining ADRs for a later Jedi Mickey’s time on that same day. 
Anything 6pm or later should work. I suspect I’ll find one, as I know lots of people hoarded the Star Wars meal ADRs until they knew their schedules. There should be drops. If nothing else, I do still have two of our other ADRs (other nights) – they really don’t work for us, but a safety net, I guess.
He’s there during our second SWW. I wish it was a few days earlier. I guess he’s doing a little destination concert package thing there. Just thought it was cool. Maybe he’ll show up a few days early and I’ll see him from the ship. 
And THEN, they announced they’d be cancelling the planned August retreat for Dug’s team and combining the retreat with this conference that most everyone (except Dug) would be attending. They said it was totally fine he’d miss it and that he should take the vacation without worries, but he’s sad to miss out. Especially because, if we’d known then what we know now, we probably would have saved the Land & Sea for some other time and done a 
I found it so annoying how long it was taking!
I'm impressed (although not surprised!) that you had a spreadsheet ready to go for the moment the schedule was released!
