OT: just booked our trip yesterday!!!!

WOO HOO!!!!

After a year that started out with several setbacks, some of those setbacks became blessings and as situations changed, we were able to go to Disneyworld this year after thinking we couldn't!!!!

I am very very very excited. DBF's parents are going with us. They have only been to Disneyland before so I'm SUPER excited to show them all the wonderful things at Disneyworld!

Details:
Staying at all star music (with free dining, but of course)
Leaving Denver September 11th (kind of creepy I know, but this is the best week for us!)
Coming home Spetember 22nd (thanks to free dining we were able to extend our trip a bit longer than we normally would!)
8 Days in the park with one full day off to rest (thank goodness!) and a half day of rest, since we will be entering into the parks at four for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!

Already working on SEVERAL possible schedules and ADR plans to accomodate where everyone would like to eat and what they would like to do. Planning for 4 people is a lot more difficult than planning for two!!! (whew!)

Just wanted to share the happy news!

Whoohooo you can start planning now!!!

Oh and you better believe I am starting! The problem is that I'm totally a microplanner so it's driving me nuts not having up to date hours, parade times, etc etc.

This trip is so exciting to me because I truly didn't believe we'd be able to make it back this year.

Congrats!

Thanks for the congratulations and well wishes!!!

Now comes the hard part. Three days and we're already arguing about dining

They REALLY don't want to do Chef Mickey's, because we will have to leave the park to get there (they're older so they're one of those people who are all about getting every last penny's worth), but I tried explaining that it's at the Contemporary so it's really nearby.

How long does it take to get to Chef Mickey's from the Magic Kingdom? Anyone? Would you say it's worth it or should I just concede and eat at Tony's Town Square (yuck!)
