Ok here's what I've worked on over night. Let me know what you think. I still have to send these plans to DMIL. According to DH, the only things she wants to do are EPCOT and DTD. I can work those in!
9/17 Arrival Day!!
DH and I are working in the morning. Everything will be packed (probably next weekend) and loaded into the van the night before. We're leaving work at 1 that day and coming home to get the boys to go to DISNEY!
The plan right now, once we're on the road, is for the boys to nap on the way. This shouldn't be too much to ask of them. I want to be at Disney by 7 to go someplace for dinner. If the boys can't wait that long, we'll stop somewhere along the way.
Once we check in and eat, we'll try and hit the monorail to go around the loop. Since we've got APs, if we feel like stopping into a park we will, but most will be closing down. Maybe we'll catch Wishes or something like that if we're lucky.
Grandma also arrives tonight!
As of right now, the flight arrives in Orlando at 10:15. Hopefully it'll get moved up a little bit. We're going to let the boys go to sleep and she'll surprise them in the morning. We've got to get back to the room and get the boys good and asleep before she gets there.
I also want to decorate the Birthday Room once the boys are asleep. Corbin will be excited by the decorations alone when he wakes up. I can't wait to see what happens when he rolls over and realizes that it's Grandma instead of Mommy sleeping with him! (Hopefully he's not terrified by this! He should be fine.)
9/18 We're going to have breakfast in the hotel (Thanks Hanna for the extra snacks!!
). After breakfast, we're going to head to the MK for the morning EMHs. Once things start to get busy about 10 or so, we're going to catch the monorail to EPCOT (per Grandma's request). I want to ride Soarin' and she wants to ride Test Track. If the wait's too long, we'll get fast passes to stop back by later. If the boys get a bit too fussy, we'll send one or two adults to EPCOT to get fast passes for later while someone takes the boys to the hotel to sleep before lunch then head to WPCOT after lunch.
We're having lunch at the Grand Floridian Cafe today-complete with a Cars brithday cake for Dan and Corbin and a mini castle cake for Grandma!
After lunch, we're going to head back to the hotel for a little bit to rest-hoping to be back at the hotel around 3 and rest until about 5 if they'll rest. (unless we alread rested)
We're planning on heading to DHS after resting to meet McQueen and Mater. We don't have dinner plans tonight so we'll do counter service somewhere along the lines.
At some point today our baskets will be delivered. I moved it to today so it would be a surprise and everything would be in tact for everyone to see. This should be a huge surprise coming back to rest or in for the evening!
9/19 BIG DAY! Today's a big, busy day for us. We've got 8:00 ressies at Tusker House to dine with Donald, Daisy, Mickey and Goofy (I hope!!). After breakfast, we're going to head out into AK and do the safari ride and Kali River Rapids (this one's iffy-it'll depend on the weather and if we all want to ride). Once we've been through everything at AK, we're going to head to the hotel and rest. Lunch will be counter service on the way out of the park or back at All Star Sports.
Corbin's got a BBB appointment (he's thrilled about going into the castle!!) at 3:30 to get a "Cool Dude". I'll be taking him to this while Dan and Carter either keep resting or hang out in the MK. Not sure what DMIL will want to do...We may all end up at the castle-who knows.
After our BBB appointment, we're heading to Tony's Town Square for dinner at 4:30. After dinner, off to
MNSSHP!
I cannot wait for this party! The boys will be donning their pirate garb.
I've still got to come up with something for Mommy and Daddy to wear. It won't be hard to find Daddy something pirate-ish to wear.
Depending on how long the boys can stand it, we'll stay as long as we can. Dan and I have already talked and I want to stay the entire party if I can keep myself up that long. I'm not so concerned about the rides, I want to get some awesome pictures of the MK decorated and without a bunch of people in my way.
(This would also be my reasoning for going for the morning EMH).
9/20 Depending on how late a night the party is will determine what we're doing this morning. If the boys (and adults) are ready to get up and go (which I'm kind of doubting the adults will be!), we'll hit DHS with morning EMHs. We don't have breakfast ressies this morning, so we'll just do something in the room (pop tarts, cereal, whatever). I'm also wanting to schedule a photo shoot at one of the resorts for around lunch time if I can get it together.
We don't have lunch plans today either so we'll either do counter service or something off site. (Dan wants to go to Cheeseburger in Paradise so we'll see what happens...I don't want to loose any Disney magic)
Our next big plans for the day are heading to EPCOT in time for the Disney Visa Meet N Greet. This is important since we're not doing many character meals or anything. That starts at 1:30 and since we're (hopefully) having a slow morning, this shouldn't be a problem. My boys pretty much stay on their schedule but go, go, go. Corbin's really trying to skip the nap thing and Carter's great about sleeping in his stroller for a few minutes and being good as new!
After we're done checking out the characters, we'll see what time allows. We'll hit some rides before dinner at Coral Reef. (If it's a slow morning or someone wants to head out, we'll collect some fast passes in the morning) We cannot be late for this as this is the "official" birthday meal of the trip. I've arranged personalized menus for Dan, Corbin, Carter and Grandma as well as a birthday sign to be held by the diver for Dan and Corbin. I cannot wait to see their faces!! Dan doesn't know anything about the menus.
He knows about Corbin's sign and asked if I did it for him and told him you could only get one.
When we're done eating, we'll get our Nemo cake!
(yup I decided to change the theme and keep the other cake...just seemed easier that way)
After dinner and more
, we'll head back out into EPCOT to do anything we missed on our way out. If I can get it to work out, we'll hop the monorail to a photoshoot (since everyone should be happy and full bellies-unless I can get it earlier in the day) then over to DTD for awhile. If Dan and the boys don't want to go, DMIL and I will shop on our own!
Written all out like this is seems like a lot of things to get done. We'll only do what we can and really, really want to.
I'm finally unpacking this morning from Hanna's scare and Disney packing's beginning since it's already all out. This afternoon we're going to a friend's house for a pool date which the boys are very much looking forward to!
Coming up soon....Dec's plans.
Hopefully all turns out well...
I've got to get ones from our MI trip up for our family...I've been a slacker!
I'm going to go this week on my lunch and look for some fun grown up tink treats. 
Just kidding.
No kidding...my luck, they'd eat the whole darn cake! I'm going to go with the cake for now...I'm sure it'll change again in the mornin! 
This weekend, Dan's got class both days, the auxiliary (of which I'm a member) for the fire department is having a picnic for the department to celebrate promotions and the 30th anniversary. I've got to get a scrapbook done this week of a bunch of old pictures to display yet...
Single digit dance
