I have to share with people that will understand my excitement - I booked this week to arrive at Disney World on my twin daughters' seventh birthday! The current plan is to surprise them the morning we leave - drive to the airport instead of to school. We'll arrive on October 26 and depart October 31, staying in two rooms at All Star Sports on a really good military discount. It will be me, my husband, the girls, my sister, and our au pair. We'll get the military 5 day parkhoppers, and will add express transportation between the parks.
I don't dislike Halloween, but I'm not nearly as "into" it as others are, so I've never considered going to a Disney Halloween party before - but now I'm thinking we'll get tickets. Not sure which night, we'll figure that out once the tickets are for sale. Anyone know of a group costume that will work for three or four adults and two kids?
We last visited in January 2016 when the girls were five, and did the Dining Plan, but this time we'll just do QS and maybe the "Disney Gift Card" plan, putting what would be the cost of the Dining Plan onto gift cards paid for in advance instead, then using that for meals/souveniers. I like the idea of everything being paid off when we arrive, but I'd rather not have to schedule sit-down meals. Last time the girls wound up LOVING the Agent P adventures, so we'd do our fast passes in another park then hop to Epcot every day. Being less tied down sounds like a better plan for this trip.
Getting excited!
