And I took a nap today! I haven't done that in 5 years. It felt so good. I am really enjoying my first week home for summer vacation. The kids are at camp this week and I am just chilling out. It's much needed.

You deserve the break. Rest up lady and have fun!!

I've started a laundry basket, too! We borrow suitcases from my parents and they are using them the week before we leave. They get back 4 days before we leave so I'll be doing my actual packing at the last minute. Until then, everything is piling up in the baskets!

I feel like I need to get more packing done for Disney, but we are going to the Outer banks, NC for a few days first so I have to pack for that before I can pack for Disney. Can't wait though. Feel like my summer has officially begun!



Happy 1st day of Summer July Group!

 

[thrillridejunkie]

Last day with the kids! Still 1 more professional development day but I have officially switched to full Disney mode! 24 days left!

 

[carissa1970]

I feel like I need to get more packing done for Disney, but we are going to the OBX for a few days first so I have to pack for that before I can pack for Disney. Can't wait though. Feel like my summer has officially begun!

Happy 1st day of Summer July Group!

What is OBX?

 

[attain]

Single digits!! 9 days! Only 5 more working days. That's 46 hours and 44 minutes!

And haven't begun to pack! Yikes!

 

[CuppieCake04]

What is OBX?

Correct me if i'm wrong but it's Outer Banks, NC.

I miss living there, but Virginia Beach is just as awesome.

You are right. . We haven't been to Nc beaches since my DH grandparents moved from New Bern, NC to Myrtle Beach so we thought we would finally try going back this summer. My family is from New Jersey and we go to the beaches there all the time so we wanted a change this year.

I used to live in New Bern right off of Hwy 17.

It's been a long time since I was there, but they lived off of Hwy 17 also near River Bend if that is familiar to you near River Bend Gulf course.

11 days til we leave
13 days til we check in at CSR.

Starting to try and plan out what we do each day...
We have the 4-day Magic your way tickets (no hopper)
So far I have :

July 4 - Swimming at Dig Site and walking around areas that don't need park tickets
July 5 - Epcot (Magic Hours 8-9am)
July 6 - Magic Kingdom Park (Magic Hours 8-9am)
July 7 - Hollywood Studios
July 8 - Animal Kingdom (Magic Hours 8-9 am)
July 9 - Leave for Gulfport Mississippi for beach time

Have not figured out about where or what to eat yet.
Open to suggestions at each park
We don't have the dinner plan, girls don't eat that much (finger food like burgers / chicken finger(nuggets) and fries for them).

Hi,
I am exited to join the thread!!!
This will be the first time we go as a family, I have been twice but DH not and we are taking our 2 year old. I am beyond exited. We are staying offsite.
We got our tickets today from undercover tourist and will have a car.

We arrive on july 2nd and leave on the 9th and have a 4 day Magic your way with no park hopper. What I am most concerned is that our toddler will not tolerate too much waiting and heat, or make it through a full day without a nap. We want to enjoy the little moments, not hit a ton of attractions. Definitely meet characters, my boy sleeps with Pooh and loves Mickey. I thought I will alternate days of rest with days int he park
Here are our plans so far:

July 3rd- Magic Kingdom after naptime. 4pm Crystal Palace reservation. Want to make it to the fireworks!
July4th- Relax in the pool
July 5th- Magic kingdom. Go at opening, take a break for a nap, can I leave and come back? How long will it take if my hotel is 20 minutes away (plus parking, monorail, security etc)?
July 6th- Relax, go to a yet undetermined park in the evening
July 7th- Animal Kingdom. Go at opening. Lunch at Tusker House
July 8th- Relax in the pool.

Will it be worth it to go to Epcot at all? Is there anything a 2 year old will enjoy there?
What are your must do attraction with a toddler?

thanks for the feedback! can't wait to get there

Sounds like a good plan!
Regarding Epcot, our DD2 loved it last December! She could've spent all day in the Seas with Nemo, loved Jammin janitors, the splash area, and the grassy area by Morocco. We found it to be a very relaxing park to visit with her! Going there 2 times on our upcoming trip!
