Oh I highly HIGHLY recommend KTTK! It was amazing! Some people may say that it 'ruined' the magic for them, but I think it does quite the opposite - made things even more magical for me now that I know some of the things that go on backstage and how much hard work it really is to keep everything up and running!
It's also a great opportunity to get answers to any questions or rumors you may have heard. My amazing guide, Annibal, was able to confirm or deny some rumors I had heard so I really felt like I was getting insider info!
Yeah, I know some people say that but I think we'd have the same reaction as you. I'm sure it's a really great tour.
Here's a second vote for the KTTK tour. I loooved it and I was highly skeptical before we went.
And I love your ornament! I collect the Disney Princess Precious Moments ones that Hallmark puts out. This years was Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella and I snatched them up in July
My sister has one of those Precious Moments ones and was looking at them when I got my Jiminy Cricket. They are cute. I think she wanted one but couldn't decide which one to get. haha
I love plans!

I bet if EMHs were at 7am not too many people take advantage. You could get lots done TWICE!
MNSSHP was awesome, so awesome that I wish we had gone to 2 of the parties!
Yeah, it's really early for some people. Dad and I thought it was sort of exciting getting up so early and riding the bus to the park when it was still pitch black outside. We got to do a ton of rides in a short amount of time.
Glad to hear you had fun at the party. It would be nice to do two of them. There's so much to see.
Your April trip sounds awesome and will make this October short trip not so rushes since you know you will be back
And one more thing......
GO BREWERS..............and..........
GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, exactly. I have a feeling I'm going to be saying "we can do that in April" a lot since we only have two days.
We were at the Brewer game last Sunday which was awesome (though I was so nervous the entire time, even when they went ahead)! I was so tired when we got home but leaving the stadium was fun. Everyone was highfiving each other. And then some people started chanting Go Pack Go! They had a nice come from behind win too. 5-0! Hope we have another nice sports weekend this week.
on 19 days!!
That was sweet of Brook to send you that luggage tag - am glad you managed to get one.
The April plans sound great - I hope you got to do the KTTK tour and wow at the possibility of EMH taking place from 7am! I bet the parks would be empty that early.
Great Oct 30 plans and I can't wait to hear how you find MNSSHP!
I am glad too. I was so bummed when my old one got lost.
When we did the 7 am EMH last year it was so dead...it was still dark out when we got to the park! Awesomeness.
I am so excited for the party!
How great that you're at less than a month for your October trip and now 6 months until your April trip! I definitely want to experience a holiday in WDW. It's going to be so wonderful to wake up in WDW on Easter Sunday!
What is your sister's work schedule like? Are you going to get a lot of time to spend with her when you're there?
We've been in WDW on Easter a couple times. It was a few years ago, on one of the trips when we stayed at the Polynesian...they had a huge "egg hunt" (which was really more just picking up tons of candy from the ground) and going to Blizzard Beach. Since that'll be our first full day it'll be interesting to see how busy the MK is. That's why I'm hoping for 7 am EMH!
She usually gets two days off a week (last night she got to go to MNSSHP, lucky!). She requested off for the days we're there and that was approved so she will be able to spend those couple days with us.
Third vote for KTTK tour, we love those backstage type shows. It definitely adds to the magic for me also, makes me appreciate what goes on. I forgot your April trip was going to be a long one, that'll be so nice

Love the ornament, I need to go check out what they have, you're right that it's never too early to buy Christmas ornaments.
We absolutely loved the Backstage Safari tour we did last year so I'm sure we'd enjoy the KTTK tour too. I hope we get to do it! It will definitely be nice having a whole week when we go in April since our Oct. trip is going to go by so fast. It's nice knowing that we'll be back in just a few months.
Good heavens I'm late to the party!

I lurked thru your last TR and was a teeny late catching up.... but I'm here now and can't wait to go back and read thru all your plans. Woo hoo!!
Glad you found me! There's not too much to catch up on since it's going to be such a short trip.

But a short trip is better than no trip.
Sarah! I'll be at MK on Easter too! We will be getting off the Fantasy on the 7th and staying at BLT. My birthday is on the 8th and I'm spending it at MK! We should meet up that day!
Oh wow, I'm jealous of the cruise. What a nice bday present. We should meet up-that would be fun!
