We were just in Disney in August, but are going again. We told the kids last month and the youngest said "Disney Again?", but quickly got excited.
This trip will have 6 key players involved. Jenny (me) the planner and real reason we go to Disney often. I just love the magic of being there. Sean, DH, who likes going and gets very excited, but can not be told the true cost of the trip. Courtney, DD, who will be celebrating her 12th birthday while we are there and is very excited about it. Cassidie (11- her first trip), Courtney's friend, will be tagging along with us this trip. Hubby does not know we are picking up the tab for her, yet. Rebecca, DD, is 7 and already planning our return trip in May 08 for her birthday complete with bringing along friends. Madison, DD, who turned 6 in WDW in August and doesn't seem to want to share her magical experience with anyone else. All 4 girls seem very excited about the trip. Surpisingly, DH seems happier than usual about the trip. He hasn't even mentioned the cost, yet. Maybe he is getting used to it?
I am really looking forward to this trip. We went in January 2005, but had no clue what we were doing. We decided one day to go and called CRO that day and said "book us what we need for 4 days" We had no clue and did not even have any ADRs made. Luckily we were, about to eat a few character meals (with long long waits). We had a great time, but I knew with alittle planning it could be better. The girls, my mom, and I went in August 2007, and had alittle more planning. We even made 3 ADRs which helped alot. But didn't have a wealth of knowledge still. I am so happy to have found these boards and feel that we are READY for our trip this month and many more. We did not get the DDP for this trip. My hubby likes TS and with the DDE we find it just as easy and about the same price wise to just pay OOP.
We will be going on January 27 and staying till the evening of the 31st. We have requested connecting rooms at the ASMo. This will be our first time staying at ASMo. We have stayed at POP and POR on our previous trips. The kids picked ASMo and seem really happy about their choice. Courtney's friend will be at a cheerleading event on the 27th so her parents will bring her down late that night.
The kids think that we will be arriving in Orlando around 4-5pm. What they do not know is we decided to get seasonal APs this trip. So we are going to go earlier in the day. Spend some time at Epcot, go over to FW for a bit of the sing-along, and then go to our dinner ADRs. I have also purchased decorations for the kids room for Courtney's birthday. Thanks to advice here I have also stocked up on glow in the dark items and other small gifts. This should be the best trip, yet.

That is our plan so far. I am really anxious to see how to works having a plan. I am hoping it will make our vacation even more magical. Any comments, advice, and/or suggestions greatly welcomed.
