Next week at this time I will be at the beach!!
I can't wait for you to get there. Get your chair and pull it up to the edge of the ocean with the water coming over your feet, and just....... sit. Watch the sun go down while the boys play. Close your eyes, listen to the birds and the waves and just relax. It will do your soul good. It's my happy place in my mind when I can't take any more of this busy-ness we call life.
Sounds like a great selection of restaurants. Can't wait to hear about your shopping details.
Have you ever had to wait long at ESPN or BRG? We are staying at BWV in January and we thought about trying both of those places but with a party of 8, I am worried we will have to wait too long with a 3 year old. What time you do you usually eat at those places?
I hope y'all love the beach! I love early mornings on the beach and looking for shells before it gets hot. Are your boys excited about the beach?
Your list of restaurants is quite impressive! I can't wait to hear how you like the new places you'll be going.
You're using Disney gift cards for dining again, right? I think I'm going to borrow that idea for my trip!
Shelly I just realized that the lunch and dinner menu at BOG are totally different, so I really can't tell you what we had. The dinner menu does look yummy. I wish I was able to get an ADR there. Can you believe I tried just about every date for the whole month and couldn't get anything?!!
We did only wait about 15-20 for lunch though so I was very happy about that!

I LOVE the beach!!!
I'm going on Wednesday
I wish it was FL though.
I used to be a little afraid to swim in FL b/c of sharks, but they closed the beaches around last week b/c of great white sightings.
We are stilling her idea of GCs for dining too! We are not doing the DDP this trip, so I want it on Disney cards and then what's left I can add to the kids souvie $$$....if there is any left! And I bring cash for tips.... much easier that way~for me anyway...

I hope we do too! I think the kids are more curious than excited. They want to see what it's all about, but are worried they will be bored and wishing we were at WDW instead!
Yep, we get WDW gift cards at out local grocery store and then we get fuel perks! (Free or discounted gas!) I wait for them to go on "double fuel perks", then it's twice the savings on gas!
We used to go for a week when the kids were little, so I don't think your boys will get bored in just a few days. I hope not!
A couple of things you might want to bring if you can squeeze anything else into your bag. A flashlight for walking along the beach at night (try to catch sand crabs!) and a small net for scooping up shells in the water. Oh, and some cheap blow-up rafts. Boogie Boards are really fun, but they cost too much to leave behind and, of course, you can't fit them in a suitcase!
I'll have to look for the Disney gift cards soon. I didn't know that about the savings on gas. Anything to offset the crazy gas prices is a bonus!
4 DAYS SHELLY!
Rinky----- Congrats on t e trip being "on"! Always a tough decision. I always have that dumb song in my head when I'm trying to decide-- "Should I stay or should I go now?". Remember it??
