99 Days and Counting

Woo Hoo. Can't wait.

My son doesn't know yet. We are going to make up a Disney Package for him to open on his birthday in September with all of the trip info. It is very hard not to say something out loud when he is around.

That's so exciting! We are planning a September 2013 surprise trip and we are having a hard time discussing the planning. We try to speak in code, but I'm so afraid something will slip!

You only have a bit over a month to go (well, maybe more, depending on when the big day is), so don't slip up!

At one time I think he suspected something was up. He was looking through old Disney photo's saying how there are not that many pictures of him at Disney. (Last time he was there he was only 4 and his older brother has been there like 7 times.)

I said I know but Disney is very expensive and one day we would get back there. I think he bought that and really hasn't suspected anything. He will be 11 on his birthday so once he knows I can see him being very excited and he will probably be looking up rides, shows, restaurants, etc.

We have our ADR's made but we don't know how he is going to feel about character meals. So we might need to change them if he doesn't want to go but I think he will. We didn't book anything "girly" We have ADR at Garden Grill to eat with Mickey and then breakfast with Pooh at Crystal Palace (That one is for my wife so that will probably not change haha)

I am sure he would love T-Rex but I can't seem to get an ADR for that.

I am excited for his birthday. We ordered the maps off the Disneyworld site, we have the vacation planning DVD, going to get a travel guide, and probably a new Disney shirt for him and put it all in a package for him to open. His birthday is on a Thursday so we probably will have to wait until he gets home from school otherwise I can see him daydreaming that day about Disney. I know I would.

We went to Disney in May 2011 and Garden Grill was the best meal of the trip, hands down! Everyone in our party of 7 loved it. The food was great and the characters spent a lot of time with our girls. Chip and Dale were super friendly, it was a blast!

We did T-Rex last time. We didn't have an ADR but we were actually able to just walk-in. No, I'm not lying! It was a pretty good meal, as well!

Only 47 days until ours! At this point I do anything I can to keep myself occupied without going crazy.
