just for fun.... Elliot and i have been playing with his potato heads this morning... He has tons of disney pieces, some from a visit to downtown disney last year and others from a friend who lives in fl who sent him some for christmas. Here are some pictures
Up until 2-3 months ago, we used a 5 point harness with my DD(4). We would bring her seat on the plane with us. We felt it would be a little safer.
We have been bringing Juliana's stroller with us too. It is easy keeping her in it and load up the bottom with a few bags while we are making our way through the airport. You can wheel it right up to the plane and gate check it. It doesn't go against your luggage allowance.
I think I might bring both of theirs, but just check them instead of using them on the plane. I really don't want to borrow any down there... I am considering getting Addison a booster, but I know once I do it she will not want to go back to the 5 pt harness and I feel much better with her in it.Love the pictures and your siggy is adorable
Thank you!! We brought our carseats for all 5 kids last time it was a pain in the butt, but I am happy we did it that way. We checked Ella's seat on the way there and it was a huge mistake so we brought it on the flight home and life was much better
Hi!
I am SOOOOO happy for all of you and I LOVE the new signature...I have no idea how you did it, but it is AWESOME!!!
woohoo Thank you!! I made the siggie in GIMP, it's kind of like photoshop. I belong to a mommy board and everyone has some pretty elaborate, inredible siggies over there.I danced on the Wish Trippers Thread, but I didn't dance here...
I am still torn on the plane part.... think I want to take ours, but might check them...
Thank you and Welcome to the boards!I'm new around the boards, so I wanted to say hi! You have an adorable little family. So exciting that your trip is booked and so soon!! YAY!!!
Thanks for reading along!
How do I decide which parks to do on which days?!?!
We will be arriving at GKTW on a Thursday, which is awesome because we can start the week off with Christmas! The only downside is that we won't land until 3:10 (still haven't gotten confirmed times but that's what I was told) so I will have to go to the 7:45 orientation, which means I'll miss some of Christmas. I wish I could send dh to the orientation, but he'd forget what they tell him before he even walked out!
Now for planning... how in the world do I decide which parks to do first, in which order?? Since we are starting out on a weekend, should we avoid MK until Monday or later to have less of a crowd?
Going with a 3 year old, 5 year old, 15 year old and 34 year old kid.... do I need to plan 2 days for Universal and IOA or can they both be done the same day while pleasing both the big and small age groups?
I am not really interested in going around to all the countries in Epcot, but would like to still go for the popular rides and attractions. Could these be done in a partial day? Are we missing out on too much by skipping the World Showcase? Do you end up meeting a lot of characters going through?
I really can't decide what to do about character dining. I see so many posts about it and I feel like we are going to be missing out on something if we don't try it, but I have no idea what we'd want to do and if it would really be worth it. I know I don't want princess dining, and would prefer lunch over breakfast but that's all I know. Any suggestions??
There are plenty more thoughts running through my head, but I won't throw them all at you at once
sans liquor...it was AWESOME!!! It was so hot that day, it cooled us off from the inside out.If you are short on time and want to see a few countries, just do Mexico (they have a boat ride and the glass blowers are INCREDIBLE...my 3 youngest children could stand there watching for hours) and Norway (another ride...you can ride then walk out if you don't want to stay for the show about Norway. The little gift shop you exit from is fun and I LOVE Laila perfume, my favorite). Honestly, ALL the countries have fun stuff, however, those are the only two with rides. If you want more info about the countries, let me know, I have tips of our favorites activities for most of them. I can't wait to hear about arriving on Christmas, that is most likely what WE will do as well...
