Woo Hoo!!!!
How exciting!!! I know y'all will have a blast!
$354 for airfare?- 
Yeah, I'd be driving too! Roadtrip! 
to you, husband, and daughters.
And I love the Beach Club. 
OMG!
- sorry, i'll calm down now. 
by all means, if you love salad, please, order the salad - just not at the steakhouse )
They originated in the French Quarter ages ago (and were located where Croissant D'or is now, just a little trivia for you) and moved to Mid-City years ago. Definitely a must do when you get here!
We checked in (our room was ready; a room facing the pool) and headed to Animal Kingdom. This was a laid back day for us... tired from the day before with the end of school events as well as awaking so early. So we enjoyed the day at a SLOW pace. the only ride we rode was the Safari...the darn kid did not want to ride ME nor RR's...I was like what's up with you 
; but it was all about her and me having fun right. We enjoyed the parade for the 1st time, drank frozen lemonade, ate barbecue, shopped and walked in the rain. (It rained off and on lightly the majority of the day.) Once the park closed we headed back to the hotel for some Arcade fun then dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe'...we did not have a reservation however it seems that if you go early you are more lucky to get in. 
Yay for us. We thought it was a hoot! "Ketchup anyone??? " we then retired to our room for remainder of the evening. It really pays to get to the parks early because you get to ride so many times before noon. We were also able to ride HM, PP, speedway, Mickey's Philharmagic, Barnstormer and the Railroad!!! WHEW We ate and ate all day from popcorn, churro's, turkey leg, mickey head ice cream, lemonade slushes, etc. We were so pooped we could not make it to see the fireworks so we headed back to the hotel for the night. We showered and rubbed our feet with peppermint lotion I found at Target..man that felt good! 
So I decided to stay in and let her rest until 10 or 11. I sat on the patio and read my book while she slept. She awoke disappointed that I didn't wake her up earlier...we finally got out of the room and out to the bus stop for Noon to head to Epcot. Man I must say that is the HOTTEST park, maybe it’s because there isn't much shade. We were able to ride test track and Soarin about 3 times each, Finding Nemo and Spaceship Earth. We ate at our favorite restaurant in Mexico then headed back to the hotel so we could come back later for a few more rides, we had fast passes for Soarin and Test track, and the night time show which we had never seen. We took an hour and a half nap then headed back for about 7. We rode TT and Soarin then ate dinner and by then it was time for the show. All I can say is WOW. That show is awesome….I taped it. I thought Fantasmic and wishes were extraordinary but this show was FANTASTIC. We waited until the park cleared then walked to the bus; that was also a good idea. There were only a few people waiting. Yet another good day for us. We then ate breakfast again at Sleepy Hollow then raced to BTMR and Splash Mountain. We rode those a few times, got fast passes then Speedway, Buzz Haunted Mansion, Peter Pain, ate lunch then returned to SM and BTMR and then we ended the day with dd being sketched by an artist. Man those guys are good! We ate one last mickey head, bought some fudge and said goodbye to MK!

No way, it's loud in there, she'll have a ball! We were disappointed in it the last time we went but we're going back especially for the sushi. The flatbreads are excellent too! The view is incredible and you've got to see Wishes from the balcony!
I get teary eyed just thinking of it, it's my favorite thing in all of WDW! Sounds like an awesome girls only getaway, I'm so happy for you, you deserved a great time!
. This is the child I am very close with. She is like my 3rd. She LOOKS like she could be my 3rd. Both me and DH would take her in a a split second without a thought. This is also my sisters kid who may be living in my present home-if it all works out., and one of St Louis Cathedral on a slate-roof tile thing.
Gabbi said she would live in Texas, b/c that was "where her Nana was gonna be.
too sweet.

Thanks guys for all of the well wishes...we really did enjoy ourselves. It is sooo much more fun when they are older and you can enjoy the fast rides with them. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed seeing Disney through a small kid's eyes but this was even better I think.
TRIP REPORT:
Okay we left for the airport on Thursday at 5:30 for a 7 am flight...all went well and we arrived at Disney about 12 CST. This was my 1st time not checking bags...I loved it; straight on and off the plane without worrying about luggage!
Onto Friday. We decided to go to MK and arrived at 9:20, we missed rope drop but o well...we went with the flow. We ate breakfast at the sleepy hollow; she had a mickey head waffle and I had a funnel cake. We then headed to the rides! We rode Splash Mntn and BTM over and over...I was so drenched but it was so warm it dried off quickly. She had her rain coat on so she did not get wet.
Saturday I awoke feeling my age. My feet and legs were screaming what the HECK are you doing.
Sunday arrived with both sadness and excitement; sadness because we were having so much fun and would have to leave that night. Excitement because we were heading back to MK. We dropped our bags at the bell desk and headed to MK. We arrived in time to see rope drop!!!!
We headed to the Hotel to wait for the ME transportation to the airport. Our flight was non-eventful and we arrived home without any hassle.
As you can see we really had fun. It was the best 4 days and I will cherish them for years to come.
