Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney Day

Annabelle will dicate when we get up this morning, as we will be in no rush, plus she is a better when she wakes up on her own. It will probably be 8:30 when we get up. Becky and Penny will be welcome to get ready and head to the parks before us if they want, which they probably will. We will eat breakfast in the room and then head on out to Animal Kingdom.
Arrive at AK, if Becky and Penny are with us, we will head to Everest and do baby swap or if not then we will head to Camp Mickey-Minnie to get in some meet and greets, hoping Annabelle still loves characters, we watch the Disneyland Fun Sing-Along-Songs a lot so she has seen they are a lot bigger.
We have 12:30 lunch at Tusker House.
Becky and Penny want to do Kali River Rapids so while they do that we will probably do KS.
Then Becky, Penny, and I will do PrimeEvil Whirl and I am hoping to talk James into taking Annabelle to the Boneyard if she is awake, it is very possible she will crash in her stroller.
I am sure you all noticed the lack of shows. We do like the shows but not knowing how Annabelle will do with them unless they are a MUST for someone we are going to skip them just to make it easier on us. Plus, the less we have planned the more excited we will be if we get to do more.
After this we will go back to the room and possibly even hit the pool depending on time. If Annabelle didnt get a nap she will be put down.
At about 5-5:30 we will head to Downtown Disney to eat at Rainforset Cafe and some shopping and James wants a Marigitia.
What will be in store for Day 3?

great shirts!

Shows are tricky with little ones...we knew we couldn't count on more than one longish show a day when ours were still babies/toddlers. Even now they'd rather be doing rides

Disney's Hollywood Studios/ Our 5 year Anniversary and Annabelle turns 16 months

Again there will be no rush to get out of the room. We'll have breakfast in the room. Then head to the bus stop.

Arrive at Hollywood Studios, someone will go get FP for TSM while we check the times for Disney Jr. I really want to do Disney Jr before lunch to make sure Annabelle will be able to enjoy it. Depending on the time for the FP if we can do TSM before lunch we will. If we can't then we will head to the Magic of Disney Animation and get in some meet n greets.
Lunch at 12:30 at Hollywood & Vine, so Annabelle can meet the Little Einsteins plus I hear the food is pretty good.

After lunch I am hoping that Annabelle will fall asleep in her stroller and James and I will do Star Tours.
Then we will do the Muppets, if Annabelle is asleep, I will skip it. The only other thing that wanted to do there is Fantasmic but we will see how Annabelle is doing. I know that Becky doesnt want to see it. James and I may come back by ourselves but I know he really wanted Annabelle to see it. Annabelle LOVES LOVES Mickey and Minnie but you get the point he thinks she will love the show. (She is not scared of Fireworks or at least wants on July 4th)

Since today is Our 5 Year Anniversary and we are making this possible for Becky, she volunteered to watch Annabelle this night for us.
This night has EMH at Epcot and James and I love Epcot so we will probably head here to do TT, Mission: Space, and Soarin' also to taste some of those drinks in WS but we will see. We may do something completely different.

Less than a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Magic Kingdom

Getting up a little earlier, eating and heading out.
Head to MK and hoping to make Rope Drop. Going straight to Fantasyland and hoping to get all the rides, we want to do in that area done before lunch.
Lunch at either Comsic Ray's, Peco's, or Columbia Harbour House.
Becky and Penny will then head to Tom Sawyer Island while James and I do some shopping and push Annabelle around in the stroller(while she sleeps).
Meeting back up with Penny and Becky to do Aladdin's Carpets and the Tiki Room.
Dinner at 5:30 at Grand Floridian Cafe. (Hoping to see some DISers)Back to MK to do the rest of our MUST do list and watch Wishes.
Then back to the room for the night.

Had a very hectic long weekend and day today. You know how you always seem to have something go wrong before vacation, that was OUR weekend. I wont get into it, just glad we leave in less than two days really.

I am going to go ahead and try to post my last two days sometime tonight or tomorrow. I have a lot lot to get done tho. I am one of those people who likes to come home to a clean house so I have more of that to do. Plus, I still have to pack. I have never ever waited this late to pack.

If I dont get a chance to get back on tho, everyone who is going soon, have a wonderful vacation! To everyone else I will definately be back after vacation to do a TR, but I really hope I can get on and finish my PTR.

I just found this and its a last minute random comment- but here it goes anyway.

I love Target!
Things to consider taking- a sippy cup strap to secure it to the stroller adn toddler silverware
My ds LOVED Folk at 9 months- there was just so much to entertain him. aT 2, his favorite show was definitely Playhouse Disney
We did the first haircut too- its such a great experience!
Plane advice- make sure you take extra outfits and pack them where you can reach them. i gave my ds a big bottle of smartwater to drink to help with the ear popping, and then we ended up sitting on the ramp for a while. He actually soaked through his diaper as we were taking off. i had to wait forever until i could get up, and then i had to pull my bags down from teh overhear because i packed his extra clothing in the carryon. it would have been much easier if i had just packed it in the backpack down by my feet. you know you get one personal item too, besides your carryon- so you can take a diaper bag and a carryon or a purse and a carryon each.

have a great time!

Hey, thanks for joining in. I have the sippy cup thing already attached to the diaper bag. I forgot abt the silverware so thank you for the reminder. I also have a spare set of clothes, really hoping we won't need them. I also have suckers for takeoff and landing. If you think of anything else please post it I will probably check on here one more time before we leave.
