Well I guess its been a while since I posted anything in terms of an update, so I thought I'd outline the days we have planned for this upcoming trip... but I wonder if I could do it with a bit of a twist.
My dear followers and lurkers alike
I'm always keen to learn about the little things in WDW - the secrets, the hidden gems, the little details and the tips.
For instance, I'd never understood what lime green mickey heads meant until I read the explanation of the Home Depot paint chips! And I still don't know what the heck a Fairy Godmailing is
Soooooo.... I'll list what our plans are day by day, and my request to you all is to post here anything regarding that days plans - your favorite memories, favorite pictures, and any of those little secrets, hidden gems, details or tips you may have experienced yourself or know/heard about.
Easy enough? Then let's get this party started!!
So, our first day Saturday, August 15th is a travel day. We're scheduled to arrive in Orlando at 3pm and our plan is to check in at the Pop, unpack and get in some quality swimming, roaming and suntanning time
. Truly, the overall theme of this vacation is RELAXATION!!
If you have any tips, etc to share for travel day -- please do! Otherwise, we're off to official Day 1.....
Day 1 !!
After our restfull sleep the night before, my plan (I say
my plan because lets be real here,
I'm doing all the planning
) is for just me and my daughter to go to our 10am breakfast reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table.
I cannot WAIT for this one! You guys know the Snow White and the Faulty Camera story as well as the CRT Fairy Godmother fiasco of previous trips, so I'm really looking forward to just truly enjoying ourselves.
The boys will wake up and eat at the Pop food court at their own pace and then meet up with us at the Magic Kingdom. The park has extra late hours that night until 1am and the only other plan I have for the day is to try a Dole Whip. Yes, that's correct folks, we've never had a Dole Whip before. Never even heard of them until signing up here on the DIS. Have I ever mentioned you guys ROCK?!
So there's Day 1. Now please please please post away! I'll share a hidden gem we're going to check out this trip --
Look for the Cinderella fountain on the left of the castle. You'll see a painting of Cinderella on the wall with a crown well above her head. Take a drink from the fountain and the same time you are "bowing" to Princess Cinderella, instead of looking at what you're drinking, peek up at Cinderella - she's now wearing her crown!
Tomorrow.... Day 2 !
