We are going August 14-23
Here is the deal...I am a complete Disney nut! Been to Disney in August at least 5 times. However, my last trip...I wanted to disown my three DD's( ages 14, 13 & 12) they were beyond the pale and I honestly thought they may have killed my love for Disney.
My DBIL knows how much I love Disney-heck, his partner DID NOT love Disney and they went on a trip with me and they bought DVC. I showed them a different Disney...and they caught the fever and bought into DVC
On Thanksgiving my DBIL was asking me about Disney and I was telling him nope...no way...taking time off...still mad about the last trip... (insert small rant about my children) and then my final comment...The only thing that could get me to Disney is a stay at AKL Savannah view well he said "let's do it" insert DBIL's sly grin! Huh?
Add to the fact that since my last GG with family these two brother in laws have adopted two little boys that I ADORE! Plus, the fact I am a big believer in making memories with family.
So there we have it...I am going to Disney If you told me that last September, I would have told you that you would have a better chance of seeing me wearing a bikini to a high school reunion
or for that matter even get me to a HS reunion...NOT! But, drat my crafty diabolical DBIL, he got me.
They are booking 7 days and using all of their points for that view (they are the best! )...well I would like to give them the gift of adding 2 days. One day at the beginning and one day at the end. I can't do more because of stinking kids sports
Don't get me wrong, love my girls and they are good kids...but last trip they were just brutal! I don't think they will ever do that again, because they felt really bad when they came home...and believe me, like a good mother I remind them how they need to make it up to me
, because Disney is my happy place and my escape from my crazy kidcentric life!
In Disney Momma is the Kid!
So here it is:
August Veteran, Queenie-TGM, Queenie- Easy WDW and Eeyorepixie- athe DIS (want to change to Queenie but, do not know how
)
Me, DH, DD 15, DD 14, & DD 13
14-16th not sure, going to stay somewhere with a good discount at a Disney resort
16-23 AKL Savannah view with the dining plan, and YES tickets (waiting for the Summer dates to be released)
Queenie
DH and I were strategizing our FP+ strategy. We had the chance to use them in December. We loved them!!!!!! We booked them for the mid day and afternoon so we could sleep in and leave the evening for the holiday events. We were talking this evening about our fp+ strategy and think we will book them for the evening. If we want to be in the parks in the morning, fastpasses won't be as necessary...and if the line is too long, we'll skip it
