Paying off the trip is a great feeling. I get excited when I make my last payment towards it as well. On one hand it is an acomplishment for all of the hard work you did to pay it and on the other hand it means you are really going to Disney World!

I look forward to hearing your updates.

 

[FPtigger]

Well a couple of updates.

One is we have added an extra day to our trip, we will be arriving that friday and staying at the Royal plaza.

Two- It looks like my parents may come down with us. We offered to pay for some of there trip so hopefully they can come down. Anyway that is about it.

2 MONTHS TO GO WOOHOO

Thats right 2 months to go till we are back in the World. We are really starting to get excited. A couple of new things, we are arriving on friday now. We will be staying at the Raddsion friday and eating at the Rain Forest Cafe. We will wake up early saturday morning and go to DW's favorite park, the Animal Kingdom. Leave the AK around 1pm or so and try to check in to the POFQ. When we get checked in we will unpack, rest, and get ready for dinner at Planet Hollywood, We will go back to the condo and go to sleep and wake up next morning for rope drop at the MK.

So that is it, our updated plans. My parents will not be coming with us, my father lost his job a couple of weeks ago, so that kinda threw a wrench into those plans. Here is some updated pics of the family. These were taken at our local 4th parade and the pool. DS is now 15 months old, they grow so fast.

Just a quick update we have reached our goal for spending money And we paid off a credit card today Anyway Just a quick little update.

[FPtigger]

Well some minor changes to our plans.

My wife mentioned something about the Fantasmic package, well I had know clue what she was talking about, so I hopped on DIS and studied up. We have never seen Fantasmic so I decided to call and see if I could work something out. Well Mamamelrose was sold out, but the Brown Derby was not. So I booked it for lol 3:40. SO that meant we needed one more TS credit. So I canceled our ADR's on staurday at Planet Hollywood. This sounds like it is going to be cool and we are excited.

Only 1 month and 24 days to go

 

[wdwnomad]

Fantasmic is awesome. I finally saw it for the first time year and thought it was great. It was definetly one of the highlights of the trip. We didn't do the Fantasmic package though. We were doing MGM only one night and were eating at 50's Prime Time. The package isn't offered at that place. Not getting the package was fine though. We were able to get good seats anyway.

Do you know you get a Planet Hollywood meal voucher with your package? It think it is worth $15 or something close to that. Maybe you can use that and pay for the rest of the meal in cash. That is if you still want to go there.

 

[FPtigger]

Awesome, we cant wait. We do still plan on going and using the $15 voucher, thanks.

I have a question. We are arriving Friday the 12th and satying at the Raddison. We are not going to a park this day, but we wanted to wake up early saturday and got to the animal kingdom before checking in at the POFQ. My question is how to we get our park tickets? Thanks guys

 

[FPtigger]

bump does anyone know?

 

[wdwnomad]

Before heading over to the Animal Kingdom on Satureday you should check-in at POFQ. I think you can do it as early as 6:00 am. When you check-in you will get your park tickets. You also might get your room at that time if it is ready. If it isn't they will give you a card with a number on it where you can call to find out what it is and if it is ready. Another plus to this is since you will offically be a resort guest you won't have to pay for the parking when going over to AK.

 

[FPtigger]

Awesome, thank you my only loyal reader

 

[FPtigger]

A couple new purchases today.

And an updated pic of landon

 

[wdwnomad]

You'll love the MacLaren. My sister bought one for my nieces last year for the trip. She even bought another one for this year so we now have two for both girls.

It was a huge improvement over the other ones she had. It is so easy to use, fold-up and carry, especially getting on and off the buses. The other nice thing about it is that they are a little taller. Makes it easier on guy's back because you don't have to hunch over.

 

[FPtigger]

Well there is now about 1 month to go, and things are really starting to come together. Today we ordered the DW and myself some crocs. ANd I bought the wife a khaki baggalini. So I think we are set on all the "must" haves for Disneyworld. And I think it is time to start posting our dailey Itinerary's.

Day One

3:30am- Wake the DW and take showers and get ready , finish packing the car and put DS in his carseat.

4:00am- Hopefully be out the door and on the road. And hopefully DS will still be asleep

1:00ish- Arrive at the Raddison and check in, DW and DS will take a nap while I swim or something.

4:00- head to DTD shop a little and try to eat at either the RFC or PHW. We love to go into the toy store, and Christmas shop.

8:00-Head back to the hotel take a shower and hit the sack. I know we will be worn out, we have a big day ahead of us.

Stayed tuned for Day 2
