So excited to be back from our truly Magical vacation! It took me a while because of Christmas but I'm finally ready to recap it and I hope someone enjoys it!
A little about us...we're the Suziannie's and here we are in our new favorite family spot....the Magic Kingdom.
We're comprised of my husband Ben, our lovely daughter Vivien and of course me.
A little (ok a lot) about our pre-trip planning can be found HERE and if there were Disboards awards I'm pretty sure I'm close to winning for most changes made before heading out on vacation. We went from an 11 day adventure to a quick road trip for a long weekend then to a 5 day trip.
Trip Dates: Dec 5th-Dec 10th 2013.
Overall the trip was great, and here's what's going to be covered in my report, in no particular order:
First stay at Shades of Green, to be fair it was our first stay using any military oriented discount at all so if you're military and haven't been to Disney there may be some neat info for you.
First time at Art of Animation (first time in a Disney suite too)
Deluxe Dining plan with a toddler
Magic Bands and Fastpass+ (and it all went very smoothly with one teeny exception)
Photopass+
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (Twice!!)
Car rental
Magic Express
Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert & Fireworks Party (aka my favorite part of the trip)
I'll be adding links right here...so hopefully there will be some good soon.
As a disclaimer...I'm having some difficulty getting photos to stay rotated in Photobucket. Not sure what the deal is but if they are sideways I can promise you I tried a few times to fix it.
