Hello friends!! 
I have been putting off starting my pre-trip report because our plans aren't set in stone. Well, they STILL aren't, but I figured y'all can join in on our decisions 
What we DO know so far:
-We are staying for 10 days! Our longest trip ever, aside from our honeymoon (6 days at Disney, 4 day Disney cruise). This will be our longest trip to Disney World. I'm hoping it'll be good because our previous longest trip ever (2008) we stayed for 8 days and that was one of the best trips we've ever had.
-We are only staying in a Disney resort for 7 nights. With my travel agent discount, I only get one week out of the year. So we're staying offsite for 3 nights, then 7 nights onsite.
-We are staying (hopefully!) at Bonnet Creek for the first 3 nights. I'll find out in the middle of February. If it's not booked by then, we'll get to rent for half price. If that falls through, I'm not sure what we'll do! I guess we'll see what happens
-We are getting 10 day park hopper tickets. I was looking at things to do offsite as well. Seaworld or something. I'll keep you updated on that.
-The people going will be me, Heather. My husband, Darren. Our two kids, Brayden (will be 4 at the time of the trip), Brynn (will be 2 at the time of the trip) and my in-laws, Mr. Darren and Mrs. Michele.
-We'll be driving down, like we always do!
-I'm going to take tons of pictures
-It's going to be FUN!
What we don't know:
Where on Disney property we're staying. An Art of Animation suite is in the lead right now but I have some concerns. Like, my in-laws snore badly. Will we be able to hear them through the walls? How comfortable is the Murphy bed and the sofa sleeper? Also, they like to have housekeeping come in every day, where Darren and I leave the Do Not Disturb card in the whole trip.
Those are just some of the questions, but I also really want to stay there because it's new and it looks really fun! So we'll see I guess!
Our other hotel option is Pop Century so we can walk across the bridge to check out AOA. (Little Mermaid rooms aren't an option because I can't get them with my TA discount at the moment. I guess there's no rooms available).
So I think that about covers our basic plans so far. I'll be back soon with pics and more plans!
Also, feel free to give me suggestions on (cheap-ish!) things to do offsite. I was looking at maybe going to the Titanic museum. We went to the one in Tennessee and we really liked it. Does anyone know if it's basically the same stuff or does it have different artifacts and things?
See y'all in a bit!

Thanks!!
while his parents take the kids swimming or entertain them in the hotel room. It's been awhile since we've just roamed a park by ourselves and I'm kind of looking forward to it! His dad is very irritable when it comes to whiny kids though, so I don't know. Keep your fingers crossed!
We'll probably let him ride Star Tours if he wants.
