My First EVER DIS Pre-Trip Report!!
Okay, I have read tons of these trip reports, and of course I have read Zurgs and Delswifes FAMOUS reports. I am not too sure that I can live up to those, but I am willing to give it a try! J
Cast:
ME: Totally obsessed Disney Lover. I am a Disney Commando. I have tried (okay, not really) to take Disney at a slow pace, but, its Disney, I cant control myself. The whole 12 step thing just wasnt working for me, you know?
DH: Disney Lover undercover. He loves it, I know it, he knows I know it, but it is NOT something we discuss. He thinks I am obsessive when it comes to Disney, and he is right! (of course he is my accomplice and source of money, not that he gets to hold it, he just earns it and he is fine with that deal.)
DD 6: Mini-Disney Lover. This will be her second trip. Also, as a 6 year old, she knows EVERYTHING, or at least she thinks she does.
DD5: The middle child. (And everything that comes with it, Marcia, Marcia Marcia). Loves Sleeping Beauty and anything PINK!
DS4: Loves Buzz Lightyear. (Has been Buzz 3 years in row for Halloween. -At least I got my moneys worth on his costume). Also tends to be the most like Stitch. Leaves destruction in his path, with a cute smile.
The Plan:
We are heading to WDW 2/25 - 3/2. We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge with our AP rates, two rooms. This was decided during our last trip to WDW.
A little tangent here if I may to explain we stayed at POR for 10 nights. All 5 of us in ONE room. Thats right, 10 nights +5 people on top of each other and all the stuff that comes with them at WDW in 1 SMALL room = miserable DH. After our 10 days on our own, we moved to a 2 bedroom WL villa with my DB. The only problem there was that we felt at the mercy of DB and his family, since all 5 of us were in one bedroom of the villa. My DN slept on the pull out couch while DB and SIL slept in the master bedroom. DN wanted to have ONE of my kids sleep with her, with all the lights on. NO way was that going to happen. I hear all the screaming and crying and WHY DOES SHE GET TO SLEEP THEREs? Not to mention the, Moooom, I cant sleep with the lights on. So, when we told DB that our kids were not taking turns, we would work it out in the room with 2 double beds (all three kids fit fine in one bed) they got a little mad and let my other DN sleep in the room with her sister. Only she didnt sleep. She screamed. For an hour or more. Anyhoo, we decided when we came back to the World, we would get 2 rooms, no matter what they cost, so we could have our own space.
So, back to the plan. We are surprising the kids when we wake them up at 3:30 in the morning to take them to the airport. The plan is to have everything packed and ready to go the night before. (Well see how this goes, luckily I am obsessive, so hopefully the packing will be done in time.) We will be in Orlando by 9:30am. Once we check in, whether the room is ready or not, it is off to MK. I know this week (Presidents week) is supposed to be busy, and since it will be the beginning of ESPN the Weekend it will be heavy crowds, but am hoping that most will be leaving by the end of the week. (Crowds or no, I am a Commando and we WILL succeed!!!!) Seriously though, I plan to make sure everyone get to do their favorite at MK if nothing else. Also, we plan to watch Wishes and Spectromagic that night.
Sat. we plan to hit AK for EMH am. We missed a lot of AK, since we were with DB and SIL on the last trip. Actually, we missed it because we were avoiding them, but that is another story.
Sun. we are going to do MGM. It will be MGM EMH pm that night. I am not sure if we are going to do Fantasmic this night or wait for another night. I want to take advantage of the extra hours. DD5 LOVES TOT. We must do this ride at least 5 times!!!!
Mon. MK again with early PS at Crystal Palace.
Tues. Open day.
Wed. I have scheduled the kids for the Pirate Cruise at the GF. Since this is the day we head back home, I thought this would give them some of the best memories! I am hoping to hop over to the MK for one last visit before we get picked up at WL around 3:30pm.
Obviously, anything can and will change. (And I know that we didnt put Epcot in our schedule. The kids were not fans, except for the Land and Figment (they are young and never experienced the original Figment, what can I say.) The Land (one place they enjoyed) will be closed when we are there. We DO plan to Hop over to Epcot, depending on crowds and stuff, and I am sure we will catch Illuminations.
For a Commando I know I am flexible with the schedule. (Hey, I have 3 young kids, flexibility is my middle name. Okay, actually it isnt my middle name, but that is just an expression.J )
I will happily be posting out trip reports when we get back. I hope everyone enjoys reading. I am not sure how eventful our trip will be, since we are NOT going with DB and SIL, but I am sure we will create chaos wherever we go. (Remember what I said about DS4, Stitch like in every way, minus all those extra arms!)
Thanks for reading!!
