WELL HELLO ALL AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TO CHECK OUT MY 1ST EVER PRE TRIP REPORT.
details...myself (32) twin #1 (4) twin #2 (4) will be 5 by the time the trip rolls around
dates: sept16th thru 23rd
i have never been b4 in the summer so i hope the heat doesnt kill me. and i am hoping to grab on to the free dinning. (fingers crossed)
now for the basic info.
i took my girls last yr (the last week of april) it wasnt to crowed (i didnt think) as i took the girls alone. we got alot of slack at home about goin alone with them. but i know my kids and we had the best time. we had only 2 melt downs in 8 days. i tried not to over plan and do as much as they could handle. after the 2nd day of the trip i had 4 eyes look at me and tell me "youre the best mom" so every dime was well spent i think. and too i had a great time seeing the world thru their eyes.
the girls are big i mean big character freaks. in one day at MK we saw 25 characters. ya some over and over but thats all they wanted to do. we did the basic dumbo, aladin, etc but other than that we didnt get into much of the ridES
this years plan of attack :
TUESDAY SEPT 16th
flyin into orlando and maken good use of DME. that is the best thing for parents like me. 2kids 1adult.
probably hangin around POP and then maybe DTD
WEDNESDAY SEPT 17th
hoping to get ADR for cindys royal breakfast (fingers crossed) and goin to the MAGICAL BEGINNINGS
doing MK this day at the kids speed , head out in the afternoon go relax and maybe head back later in the day
THURSDAY SEPT 18TH
going to hollywood studios
having late lunch at sci fi.. girls love watching the old cartoons
meeting as many characters in the morning and then maybe after lunch see the shows..belle, little mermaid,etc.
might try and see if we can grab a fast pass for one of the shows at play house disney too
FRIDAY SEPT 19TH
goin to AK ..this is ify. this isnt our favorite park so this might change.
but we are planning on doing MNSSHP this night (if they have this as one of the dates) so that is the case we will go to Chef Mickeys for dinner then make our way over for the party.
SATURDAY SEPT 20TH
planning on goin to epcot today and eating breakfast at story book thing in norway. we love eating there. then after that exploring future world and then after 12 we will explore world showcase to find ..one guess??....characters. dout we will make it to the fireworks there but we might come back if we leave early enough we might go back.
SUNDAY SEPT 21TH
well heading to MK for the magical beginnings again. no food plans yet. but we will hang out for awhile and then go back to POP for rest and relaxing. but we will be goin back for the EMH that night. with no fail after wishes ( about 18mins after) my girls will fall asleep and this in my time to do some shopping. so nice to have them fast asleep and i can look in peace and queit. then as the EMH ends i make this easy on myself and take the monorail to any of the monorail resorts and have the bell man get me a cab. put 2 sleeping angels in the back seat and the stroller in the trunk and off to the POP i will go. i did this on 2 nights last trip and it was the best 20 bucks each ride i spent the whole week. to hard for me alone to get them out of the stroller, in the bus, then try and get the stroller in the bus and then try to do it again at the hotel.
MONDAY SEPT 22nd
heading back to hollywood studios. would like to go over to ohanas for the lilo and stich breakfast then over to studios. again just taken it all in and enjoying the girls and doin what ever.
TUESDAY SEPT 23rd
well depending on what time we fly out. i really want to try and get to one of the parks for a few hours. i will let the girls decide and go with it.
ok so that is the plan as of now.
now for the dinning plan
cindys royal table breakfast (2)
norway princess breakfast (1)
sci fi late lunch (1)
chef mickeys dinner (1)
ohanas character breakfast (1)
so that leaves one TS credit??? not sure what to use it for
ok for those of you guys that are still reading...thanks....
i am sure i will be changing stuff around as the sept hours are out and depending on what days and times i can get some of my ADRs.
i think that planning is almost as fun as the trip ..so wish me luck and please check back
if anyone has any tips that might help with my trip ..please post them. i need all the help i can get.
a BIG DISNEY THANK YOU
