[jordanyosh]

Ugh are you serious?? That stinks!

I know!!!!!

But yay for your trip!!!!!

 

[TrueEeyore]

Just wanted to say my baby is 10 months old today!!!

Ok, so here's an itinerary we're HOPING for. I know things are going to unpredictable with a baby, so I might come back here with a completely different trip to write about! We'll just go with the flow I guess.

Thursday, January 28th

I know I'm going to lose my mind trying to pack and make sure I have everything. I'm hoping Darren can get off work this day so he can help me. If not, he'll probably get off around 5 or 6. His parents will come over, we'll either eat at my parent's house or pick something up in the car. Then we'll load everything up and be on our way! We'll probably leave between 8-10pm.
It takes about 10 1/2 hours to drive there.

Oh and we're taking my Expedition, which has been giving us a little bit of trouble, so keep your fingers crossed!

Friday, January 29th

We're here!! We'll check into Caribbean Beach (and ask for a pirate room upgrade. Not likely, but worth a shot!) and get Brayden's first trip button! We'll probably eat breakfast in the food court and then go to Magic Kingdom.

Magic Kingdom must do's:

Pirates of the Caribbean
TTA
Darren might ride Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain alone. His parents don't like those two rides.
The Train
Philharmagic
Peter Pan's Flight
Snow White
Winnie The Pooh
Dumbo
Cinderella's Carousel
Magic Carpets of Aladdin
Buzz Lightyear's Spaceranger Spin
Laugh Floor
It's a Small World
Darren wants to go to Tom Sawyer's Island (he's never been) and try and find a paintbrush
Haunted Mansion (we won't be taking Brayden on this though. Too scary for him)
Wishes
SpectroMagic
Share a Dream Come True parade
Everything else is a maybe.

I know we'll get a turkey leg sometime on this day. Then maybe lunch at Cosmic Rays and then a nap in the room. We'll be heading to Epcot in the evening for extra magic hours, which is until 12am. I doubt we stay that late though. If we do, Darren's parents will take Brayden back to the resort for bed.

Epcot must do's

Spaceship Earth
Soarin'
The Seas with Nemo and Friends
Darren and his parents will ride Test Track
Not sure if we'll hit the countries, maybe.

Saturday, January 30th

Morning extra magic hours for Hollywood Studios! It opens at 8am. So we might just get breakfast in the park. If the characters are out by the hat, we'll stop and get some pics while someone makes a fastpass run for Toy Story Mania. If the pics don't take long, maybe we can go through the stand by line and then again with fastpass.

Hollywood Studios must do's

Toy Story Mania
Darren and his parents will ride Tower of Terror and Rock n Rollercoaster
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
The Great Movie Ride
Playhouse Disney Live on Stage
Everything else is a maybe

Lunch and then a nap. Probably Animal Kingdom that evening.

Animal Kingdom must do's

Darren and his parents will ride Expedition Everest
Not sure if we'll take Brayden on Kilimanjaro Safari. I'm thinking it will be too rough.
It's Tough to be a Bug (too scary for Brayden I think)
Triceratop Spin
Everything else is a maybe

Sunday, January 31st

I'm really not sure which park we'll be going to this morning. We might head to Downtown Disney and try to get into T-Rex for an early lunch.
Magic Kingdom in the evening, extra magic hours until 11pm. (I LOVE being in the parks at night for extra magic hours)

Monday, February 1st

Morning extra magic hours at Animal Kingdom, so we'll probably be heading there. Opens at 8am. We'll be eating at Rainforest Cafe on one of these Animal Kingdom trips, I'm just not sure which one!
Then it's evening extra magic hours at Hollywood Studios this night until 10pm. We HAVE to catch Mulch, Sweat, and Shears while we're at DHS. We love them!

Tuesday, February 2nd

Last day Morning extra magic hours at Epcot, opens at 8am. I'd love to go pick a pearl, so we'll see about that. Probably head to Magic Kingdom for the evening since we like it to be our last park. We'll fit in all of our favorites.
We'll leave early early Wednesday morning. Bye bye Disney World

[Disneychix]

Happy 10 months to your DS!

5 days is plenty of time to do everything you'll want to do with Brayden. I can't wait to see the pics!!

 

[alabamagirl]

Joining the fun! We're taking our little guy in May. He will be 11 months old. Can't wait!!

 

[Brae's Mom]

Sounds like a good plan so far. Enjoy your first trip with Brayden.

 

[PeytonSdiz]

Find a paint brush? What is that about?

Pick a pearl? What is that about?

 

[cherbear]

Heather, are y'all going to be able to get to the park before it opens so you can try for a paintbrush?? I hear you have to get there WAAAY early and run for Tom Sawyer's Island as soon as the park opens.

[Disneychix]

I thought it was FP for any ride for your group and a certificate.

ummm...you get to stay in the park the rest of the day???




You're at Disney, you need a better prize than that?


Just kidding, I really don't know what the prize is.

 

[Christine9125]

I to have been a long time lurker of your reports and love them. We would have been there Jan. 31-Feb 5, but had to cancel. We will be going next year for my 40th birthday. I love the pics of Brayden, he is so cute and his eyes are so bright. Can't wait to live thru your report.

 

[TrueEeyore]

Thanks!

You're plans look great! I'm trying more evening EMHs this trip.

Thanks Jordan. You NEED to do evening EMHs, they are so awesome. I love being in the parks late. One of our best times at Magic Kingdom was when we stayed in there until 1am.

I'm a little late, but I'm joining in on your fun. I hope the weather is good for you! It'll be here before you know it!

You're not late, we haven't even left yet! Thanks for joining in!

Happy 10 months to your DS!

5 days is plenty of time to do everything you'll want to do with Brayden. I can't wait to see the pics!!

Thank you! I'm sure we'll get a lot done. There's always next year too!
This report will be FULL of pics, trust me!

Joining the fun! We're taking our little guy in May. He will be 11 months old. Can't wait!!

Thanks for joining! I bet your little man is going to have a blast! Where will you be staying?

Sounds like a good plan so far. Enjoy your first trip with Brayden.

Thanks so much!

Find a paint brush? What is that about?

Pick a pearl? What is that about?

I think the CMs put out one or two paintbrushes on TSI in the mornings. If you find it, you get a special fastpass.

Pick a pearl is in Epcot (I think France, but I'm probably wrong) there's a big tank and you pick your oyster and they open it in front of you and you get to keep the pearl. It sounds really cool.

BTW you're in Disney right now! So lucky!

Heather, are y'all going to be able to get to the park before it opens so you can try for a paintbrush?? I hear you have to get there WAAAY early and run for Tom Sawyer's Island as soon as the park opens.

Nope, we probably won't. Darren and his big dreams. lol

i hvae never heard what the prize is for finding it?

does anyone know.

Disneychix has it right,

I thought it was FP for any ride for your group and a certificate.

Yep!

ummm...you get to stay in the park the rest of the day???

Just kidding, I really don't know what the prize is.

That's true! I'd love a tour of Cinderella's Castle suite though! I don't even need to stay there, I just want to see it lol.

I to have been a long time lurker of your reports and love them. We would have been there Jan. 31-Feb 5, but had to cancel. We will be going next year for my 40th birthday. I love the pics of Brayden, he is so cute and his eyes are so bright. Can't wait to live thru your report.

Thanks for coming out of lurkdom to say hi! I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip, that stinks. I'm glad you get to go for your birthday, that's really special

WE LEAVE ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT!!!!!



It seems like I was just saying we'll be there in two months and it just snuck up on us! I've started the packing list and I need to go shopping next week for diapers and things. I'M SO EXCITED!!

I had a dream that we were on our way and I realized I forgot my camera. I have this dream before EVERY trip! It'll be the first thing I pack for sure lol. On our honeymoon I was so concerned about my camera that I forgot to bring my makeup bag. So yeah. Camera is the #1 priority here!!

The weather here is SO nice today. I hope it's just like this in Disney. Not cold and not rainy! I'll post the forecast once we get closer to the trip so it will be more accurate. Cross your fingers for good weather!!
