Hello happiest place on earth! May 9th-16th! UPDATE May 7th: Traveling details!

[seasideteacher]

So i was SO excited when I found a mickey and minnie shirt at the mall on saturday! And on sale for only $5 (at wet seal, a store i have never been in before) I was so happy! So I got DH to snap a pic of me, I have it against the white wall on the bed, because it is one of the only clean spots in our house!

And Here is my disney binder! I love it! I am NOT a very organized person in general. Or at all. But I am so excited, it gives me something to do that gets me a little closer to Disney World! I have some more work to do in it, esp a table of contents, but I am still pretty proud of it!

Our basic trip plan, as on right now: ( will write out in more detail later!)

And for each Park, I have a section like this:

It has map and park plans from touring plans . com (yeah for unofficial guide to Disney!) I plan to add restaurants and stuff I want to see/try for each park. Also DIS secrets I found for each park off this site.

It sure seems that half the fun of Disney World is the planning! My DH doesn't get excited for trips until we are leaving, but it is nice to come on here where we can all share our excitement!!!

How exciting!! Your 1st visit to WDW!! Great pre-trippie so far! Your DS is a cutie pie! I love his big blue eyes! We'll be at Disney the same time as you.....5/7-5/17! We took our DD to WDW for the first time when she was 10 months old and we had a blast!

Can't wait to read more!!

 

[seasideteacher]

I have been a bit of a slacker, but my sister is down visiting for the week, so I guess is should put family about disboards... it is a pretty close tie tho lol! I will be doing a lot more posts when we are getting closer to D-day!

Nothing exciting in my mail box yet... I can't wait to see that beautiful blue package!!!

To come soon: Park plans and ADRS! (and without doubt I will not be able to resist posting more pics of my babe!

its nice when family comes to visit... mine is about 2 1/2 hrs away....

 

[seasideteacher]

I know, I know, I have totally slacked on these updates! Lol.
But I had to share this!
For my recent birthday (25!) My friend sent me a gift in the mail, and I was so thrilled to see this:

I was so thrilled! She read my mind!! I was going to get at least on of those cd's for before I left!
I haven't opened all my gifts yet, so i will report if I receive any other exciting Disney related gifts!!!

 

[seasideteacher]

Yeah! My mother in law knows me so well! She got me a cute mickey sweatshirt for the cool evenings!

(yes it is on a chair, I'll be sure to get one of me in it when I am in the world!)

And then she found this awesome bag! She went all over town looking for one, and then snagged this one at walmart! Who would of thought? Birthdays + Disney = awesomeness! lol.

This bag makes me smile every time I look at it!! I just haven't figured out exactly how I will use it? A diaper bag? A catch all? hummm sounds like I need to do more planning!

And since it is April, I can say we go to Disney NEXT MONTH!!! how exciting is that??!!

Up Next: the schedule! (unless Disney changes it AGAIN!)

 

[that's nice]

[seasideteacher]

Really, 22 days? really? It seemed like it would be months! And I am rather busy for those 22 days so it will fly bye! I have a wedding this weekend, and then traveling up to Washington for a week for my sisters graduation, then will come back home with only like 5 days to D-day!
And so much to do until then! Sorry about the lack of posting, my LO is on the move that I hardly find time to sit at the computer!

 

[seasideteacher]

So I have had a pretty good idea of the plan of action for my Disney week since the end of January... But didn't want to post it until I was closer to the departure date. Or maybe I was just lazy.
But it has paid off, since Disney continues to change their hours/fantasmic, etc! The good news is that I should be able to catch a less crowded fantasmic (or at least just be able to get in) the bad news being that the crowd levels are MUCH higher then was first thought!! Oh well, my DH usually goes during spring break, so I am sure we can handle it. And I plan to come back to the hotel during the hot crazy afternoon hrs.
NOTE: I love to plan, my DH only plans anything about 5 mins before he does it, so i have left room for him to go on his impulses!

Ok here we go:

SAT:

First plane leaves at 6:45AM and we shall arrive in Orlando at about 5pm!

Check-in at CBR,
Evening: have left this night up to whatever we feel like.

Sun:

DHS at 9am,

Lunch ressie at Whispering Canyons at 2:00
After Lunch down time (nap rest/pool time)
Evening: Return to DHS, Fantasmic, I was going to go to the 9pm showing, but now that they added the 10:30 I think we will go to that one. Hopefully less crowded, and we can ride rides while everyone else is there. Does that sound like a good plan?

Monday:
8AM AK early hours (if we wake up in time, lol!)
After Lunch down time (nap rest/pool time)
Early dinner ressie Wolfgang puck 4:00pm
Evening: go to MK for rides and watching spectroma and wishes

Tuesday:
Epcot 8AM early hours!
Lunch ressie at Le Cellier 2:00pm (YIPPEE! i can't wait to try this, and i think my DH will love it!)
After Lunch down time (nap rest/pool time)
Evening: Where ever our mood takes us, maybe try to get illuminations at 9pm

Wednesday:
Epcot again, 9am opening
After Lunch down time (nap rest/pool time)
We have a 8:20 ressie at the Ohana, I'm thinking about getting there early to explore the resort, DH and I would to do an anniversary trip there some year (sigh)

Thursday:
MK 8 AM early hours
After Lunch down time (nap rest/pool time)
Dinner 4:50 Coral Reef!
Evening: Where ever our mood takes us!

Friday:
MK 9AM
After Lunch down time (nap rest/pool time)
Evening: Where ever our mood takes us!

Sat
Leave bright and early!



So I still have a couple TS meal credits that I have not used, in case we see something that we want to try while there. I also hope to get to a water park one or two of the afternoons.

What do you think? Anything I have missed that I need to try? I am so excited! Just 4 more days!!!!

You are eating at some of my favorite places.... can't believe our trips are almost here... tomorrow I can pre-register.....YEAH!!!

 

[that's nice]

Your Back!!!

It looks good to me!!!!! I like how you have some time built in where you can either relax or choose on the fly! On Sunday when you goto DHS, make sure you get your TSM FP's or if you are there at rope drop, get the FP's then get on the ride... I think it is going to be busy while you are there! Have a great trip!!!

EDIT:::: On Wednesday when you check in at 'Ohana ask for a window seat. Wishes is at 9pm and it would be cool if you got a window seat to see it!!!

Glad to hear you like the resturants! I have heard a lot of good reviews on them! This is all new to my DH, they always picked where they would eat that morning!!! lol! Yeah for may trips!
And IMO the pre-registering was kind of a let down, I don't know I guess i was hoping to be able to get or give more information. We will see how it pays off when we get there!!!

lol yes I am posting again! I hope to post everyday until I leave... we shall see!
Ohh good advise about TSM, I will right that down on my notes for that day!

And thanks for the heads up on Ohana, I'm all over that! I know my DH would really like that! (and me too, lol)

Thanks for the good advice!! I love these boards! (when i have time that is!)

 

[seasideteacher]

Still working on my goal to post everyday until I leave! So exciting!
Today I got a bunch of little stuff at walmart that I wanted, travel sized stuff, etc.
I have some more shopping I would like to do, but with the baby its hard to get everything in. I also am feeling drained from my trip home last week, and wanted to get as rested as possible for next week!

Yesterday I made a master packing list! My goal today is to print it out and start packing. That way I can mark off and make notes on it, otherwise i'll forget what is in the suitcase!
I know must of you guys are good and pack way early, but I had to use my suit case last week, and I just can't get it done early. But since my DH would pack about 5 mins before we leave (honest, the first time we went on a trip, i was shocked when i realized he hadn't packed at all when i said it was time to go, not that it took him very long! lol!)
Here is a pic of our wonderful little(not!) resort! Oh beaches and chlorine pool! I can't wait!

3 days?!! How can that be??​
