It's Never Too Early To Plan A Trip To Disney..Right? April 2012 PTR (Update 3/1)

[newmommy_2010]

I think the title to my PTR says it all! I think planning a trip to Disney can never begin too early! So here we are! First I will introduce you to the cast:
DH: (28 will be 29 at the time of the trip) Correctional Officer & member of the National Guard. He doesn't share a love for Disney like I do. He is a wonderful husband and father. Agrees to do a Disney trip every other year!
Me: (27 will be 28 at the time of the trip) Loves Disney..Movies, parks, characters..everything! Work with 1 & 2nd graders after school, love being a mommy and spoiling my little boy rotten!

Us on our honeymoon June 2009

DS: (7 months will be 21 months on the day we go)Our pride & joy! He is spoiled rotten! He loves Mickey and watching Mickey Mouse clubhouse on Tv along with Jake & the neverland pirates! I can't wait for him to see Mickey in person for the first time!

DS in January 2011..He has grown so much just from this pic!

Now that you have been introduced to the cast of the trip more to come on our plans we have so far!

Our Plans:
We will be leaving on April 12, 2012 to fly down to Orlando.

We will stay at the Pop Century for 2 nights and then head to the Port to board the Disney Dream Cruise Ship April 15, 2012 for a 4 night cruise to the Bahamas!!! We have never been on a cruise before so we are really looking forward to it!
WDW Days:
We are thinking maybe taking DS to Magic Kingdom and then the second day going to DTD or should we do another park? We are undecided. I know I want to take DS to a couple character meals thinking Chef Mickeys so we shall see. Any advice on this?

Cruise:
We are booked in the Deluxe Ocean view room on Deck 2!! I plan to surprise DH with an adult meal at either Remy or Palo and take DS for a couple hours to the Small World Nursery while we do this. The rest of the time I want to keep DS with us. We plan to do the Atlantis excursion at Nassau port stop. On Castaway Cay DH wants to go snorkeling and since I can't swim I am going to let DS play in the sand while DH does that. I would also like to do the glass bottom boat or the bike ride but I don't know if we will get to. I also plan on either getting a facial or a mani/pedi on board. I didn't think the prices were much more than at home when I looked at them!

Pictures were taken from various Disney sites. I do not claim as mine or taking them.

Never too early to start planning!!! You go, girl!
Look forward to reading more!!

 

[Mommy2LittleVols]

I think your plans sound great so far! Your DS will love Chef Mickey's! It is a must for us every trip with the kids. We also like to do Crystal Palace pre-park opening. It is so cool to walk down a virtually empty Main Street first thing in the morning!

Hope everyone has a great week this week & a wonderful month of March!! So we have 411 days..I know seems like forever but we have lots going on in the next few months that will help pass the time. DH & Dniece's birthday in March, April is Easter, July is DS's 1st birthday and we are taking a trip to see a relative and to the beach, August is my birthday and September is my mom's birthday then you have the Thanksgiving/Christmas season starting!!! So hopefully we can stay busy!!!

I was taking an online computer class that was terrible and I finally finished this weekend so my gift to myself for doing that was ordering my FE for the cruise! I am excited and when I get it I will post pictures! FE incase some of you don't know is a personalized hanger that goes on the fish out side your door on the cruise for DIS'sers to kinda do a secret santa and leave each other gifts in the pockets! I am excited about it!
Example of an FE:

We also got DS an awesome deal on a cute umbrella deluxe stroller..it has the compartment underneath a lot of umbrella stroller don't! We found it at walmart for 50% off..15.00. We have the big full size stroller but we not wanting to take it with us so we were happy to get that on sale!

I have also been collecting a few DISigns to make magnets for our door to decorate it. Marion on the DISign board is WONDERFUL! A couple we have so far:
