Hi Amy!

Aww...the Christmas card picture turned out great!! Love the first snow pictures too..so cute!!

Your Epcot plans look great! I'm so glad that you are going to be able to see the F&G Festival after all. I agree..Epcot is one of my favorite parks too! There is still so much we want to see there!!

Love the flashback pictures!

Those pictures of the boys in front of the tree are so cute. Love their smiles!

I think I'm most looking forward to spending some adult only time in Epcot on my upcoming trip. It'll be the first time I can really stop and smell the roses while there.

Thank Carissa!

I completely agree that it's hard to slow down & enjoy all the details of the World Showcase with kids along! I really enjoyed exploring with Laura this fall. Can't wait to visit again with the Spectrum Moms.

Thanks Angie!! I'm excited about the F&G Festival too!! It was a nice surprise when I found out we wouldn't be missing it.

Working on my MK update now...

Magic Kingdom

​

Who doesn’t love the Magic Kingdom! There’s so much to do for the whole family! I can’t wait to get back & visit our old favorites.

We have two visits planned at Magic Kingdom:

A full day on Tuesday 3/1 & an afternoon/evening on Saturday 3/5. Putting that down on paper makes it seem like that’s not enough…

Favorites at Magic Kingdom are:

Alex: Hall of Presidents, Splash Mountain, BTMRR, Space Mountain & Buzz Lightyear
Zach: Splash Mountain & It’s a Small World
Tim: He must have been grumpy that day… he didn’t have any favorites.
Me: I have a hard time picking a favorite attraction at MK… I love walking up Main Street for the first time, I love evenings at MK & I love visiting old the old favorites!!

Based on that, these are our park goals:

Definite:
• Quiet Walk up Main Street

• Pirates of the Caribbean

• The Hall of Presidents

• The Haunted Mansion

• Tom Sawyer Island

• Mickey’s PhilharMagic

• Peter Pan

• Winnie the Pooh

• It’s a Small World

• Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor

• Peoplemover

• Buzz Lightyear

• WDW RR

• Big Thunder Mountain RR

• Splash Mountain

• Space Mountain

• MSEP

• Wishes

Maybes:
• Jungle Cruise
• Swiss Family Tree House
• Liberty Square Riverboat
• Carousel of Progress
• Snow White’s Scary Adventures

As far as new things… Riding the Peoplemover is at the top of my list! We also haven’t been on the Jungle Cruise (that the kids would remember) or visited the Swiss Family Tree House (Zach would probably love this). We’ve also never been on the Liberty Belle or visited the Carousel of Progress (only I have). Snow White’s Scary Adventures & Stitch’s Great Escape are two other options for new attractions. We've also never been on the WDW RR & I'm curious to check it out during the Fantasyland expansion.

Our major touring day will be 3/1 with 3/5 our day to catch the things we missed or want to revisit. We have a few ADRs mixed in here as well. On 3/1 we have a pre-park opening breakfast with Pooh & friends at Crystal Palace. We’ve tried to do this ADR in the past and cancelled, so I’m really determined to make it happen this year. We also have a dinner ADR at Ohana that night. This will be a first for us! We don’t have any ADRs in the MK area on our second day (3/5) so we’ll probably visit one of our favorite TS places – CHH or Cosmic Rays.

Hi Amy-your plans look great! Love looking back at the pics when the kids were younger. So cute!! I would like to be at MK today too.

Have a wonderful Christmas.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Fun MK plans!!! I don't feel like we ever have enough time there no matter how many days we schedule! I am with Alex, I wish I was there right now!

Merry Christmas!

 

[Angies1274]

Your MK plans look great!! I feel the same way...there are so many things to love about MK, it really is hard to choose a favorite!

I'm hoping we can plan in the Swiss Family Tree House for next trip too. We always seem to miss it and I know the boys would love it.

Aww....more great flashback pics! Your boys are so adorable!!

Calgon... Take me away... To Disney! Does anybody else remember those Calgon commercials? Or am I laughing by myself?

It's hard to choose favorites at MK, but it's also hard to choose things to skip!

I haven't been up the Swiss Family Tree House probably since 1997. And I remember it being so slow because there were so many people - it was hard to enjoy. I'd love to walk through it when there aren't a ton of people.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, I definitely remember those Calgon commercials! I am laughing with you!

Your MK plans look fantastic! I keep forgetting about Tom Sawyer's Island and I know Henry is at that age where he would love running through the caves and all that - so thank you! That has got to go on my list! We haven't done it since 2006 either.

I love all your flashback pics, it's so wonderful to see all the magic through the years!

I bet Henry will love TSI! Alex hasn't been there but when I was there with Zach in April, he loved it!

I remember them too!!

Hi Doreen! Hope you are enjoying the snow!! It's so funny that it's been snowing on & off here all week & we still only have less than an inch! I hope it sticks around for Christmas!
