Daisy's 1st birthday at WDW!!

[julieanddanny]

So excited to be heading to WDW very soon! We will be staying at POR for the first time. Flying in Apr 13 with DH, DD7, DS5, DD turning 1 and my mom.

We originally booked on the 30% off pin but it was only valid for 3 nights of our stay. When Kids stay/play free was announced we called and switched and were able to save another $150! Woohoo!

Since no one want to here my ramblings here I decided to start a little journal here. It seems that I'm daily learning new things & making plans.

Baby's crying so I'll add all our current plans here later!

Soooo...

After some researching of flights back in Nov we decided on working around our kids Apr break. We will be pulling them from school 2 days early (didn't want to do more than that). And the best part is that it coincides with our baby's first birthday!

Because there are 5 of us plus infant we couldn't stay at our 'goto' Allstars. I'm sooo happy we discovered POR. It looks amazing and I can't wait to check it out!

We are staying for 6 night with Kids stay/play free. We have 5 day base tickets. We are on the QSDP as we are just not interested in reservations dictating our days. We need flexibility to keep our trip fun, relaxed and enjoyable. There is, however, one exception: Daisy's birthday! I have booked lunch at Crystal Palace with her favorite Winnie the Pooh! I CAN NOT wait to see her face! And even though this is our 4th family WDW trip, we have not once experienced character dining so our other kids are super excited too.

Right now it looks as if out schedule with be:
4/13 Fly in
4/14 MK
4/15 AK
4/16 DHS
4/17 Epcot
4/18 MK
4/19 Fly home

We are looking forward to taking the fairy to DTD on our arrival day and perhaps another evening or two.

my ticker says 26 days!!

I think it is great that you are celebrating her first birthday. I am sure the picture you take of her meeting Winnie the Pooh and friends will be ones to treasure forever.

Can't wait to read more.

walk training has begun
It was in the 60's yesterday and Daisy & I went 2.5 miles!

We are also breaking in her new stroller. We went with the Britax Blink:

We do still need another stroller for DS. He's five and a complainer! Looking at getting a First Years Jet as it holds 50lbs and is only $40 - don't want to pay too much as it's probably a one-time use item.

24 days!

23 days - I don't suppose anyone had a $10 Amazon Baby Code they'd like to give to me?? I'd like to purchase stroller #2!

 

[julieanddanny]

Two weeks! Two weeks! Two weeks!

I just pre-purchased our Photopass CD! Woot Woot!

Also starting a list of things I'll need to pickup to pack. Mostly worried about feeding the babe - disposible bibs, placemats, snacks...

And I could just get the kids to try on some of their summer clothes :roll:

And stroller #2 is here too!

I highly recommend the First Years Jet for those looking for a umbrella that's just a bit more sturdy. I'm lovng the soft parent console thing too!
