wow..it's getting so close...in just a few days I'll hit single digits!!! But it is slightly bittersweet---not only am I feeling the guily of leaving the kids with their grandparents, I am also sick with a virus and on antibiotics (ending today) and now I am sitting here, awake @ 1:35 am with what I believe may be the start of the flu nauseous, sweats but cold, headache....Never fails!

This is our first family trip to Disney. 17 days away and i'm already too excited too sleep. I'm DW, going with my DH, Ds9, and DD4. We are staying at CBR. Checking in on September 24 staying until Sept 30. Only have reservations for CP breakfast, HDD, and H&V. Any recomendations ??

Here is one BIG recommendation!!!! GET ADR's!!!!!! There are barely any left. We made ours 180 days out and got exactly what we wanted.

My children would NEVER go for us going to Walt Disney World; home of Mickey Mouse without them! I dont think I could anyways, they enjoy it too much. Of course mine are younger, and into the whole Disney thing. My son still finds "hidden mickeys" everywhere.

Yes, thats definately true! However, if you dont... its not the end of the world. You might just have to eat in some places that arent as popular. At this point you can prettymuch FORGET Lacellier, Chef Mickeys, Cinderellas Royal Table, and Bomas, (oh, and ANY character meals in the parks) but you can probably still find some good food. It might just take some calls from guest relations though. Lots of people double book two or three restaurants for one night. They will be cancelling one of them that evening. the problem will be that there will be 20 people waiting for every one cancellation!
And dont forget... if your the commando style, you can use a dining service (TS) at a Counter Service. You even get freebies for it! id gladly swap Flametree over a few of the TS places!

At least you are getting the illness over with BEFORE your trip and well enough in advance that you should feel great by the time you leave. Don't feel too bad about leaving the kids this time, it is fun to experience the world in a different adult way. There will be other times with the kids. Go and enjoy yourself!

I originally chimed in back in June, but somehow we've fallen off the list. Couples only trip , CR, Sept 23 - 30. Just bought cheap ponchos, and I think that does it. Oops, wait, gotta check the battery in my Magical Moments pin.

Oh, there we are, but under Ft. Wilderness Cabins instead of CR.

Thanks Karla. I guess that even though they went in February I just have never lef them like this, so it isn't that I get to go and they don't...it's about being away from them. Last night DH and I were both having anxiety about it....DD's homework this year is really difficult for her and I hate we are leaving someone else to deal with it. And they both have soccer practice 2 nights and a game on both Saturday and Sunday---lots for the babysitters to do...good thing it's their grandparents.
I'll be ok I'm sure once I am in the sun (it's in the 40's here this morning!!!!!) and having a good time. Just thinking about it is making me sick.

My kids have been many times...My 6 year old even wanted to sit around the resort the whole time in Febrauray because the "parks bored him"....The parks will NEVER BORE ME!!! :0)
We were going to do a cruise , but I missed a lot I really wanted to see @ WDW last time I was there...and many adult things I've always wanted to do, so it's MY time..and they could care less, thank God. Or else I would have gone someone else.

we will be at the pop from 23-30 also. We will arrive at mco 11:54 am . sounds like a dis party at the pop.

 

[KarlaG4Kids]

We will have to have a BIG party. Will there be any room left in POP for the general (non-dis) public?

 

[jrasmom]

We're down to 11 days!!!!

WHOOHOO!!

And I don't see any *weather issues* (REFUSE to say the H word) on the horizon either....at least not according to The Weather Channel!

 

[KarlaG4Kids]

We are there the day behind you and I'm holding my breath watching the weather channel also. I'm also trying to keep positive thoughts that everybody will stay healthy! Soon we will be single digit dancing!

Wooo Hooo...We arrive at MCO at 11:07 (or something like that) then off to Thrifty to pick up the rental van. My hope is to be checked in and in a room by 1:30. I'll wave to you!
