We did
MNSSHP and this year we will do
MVMCP. It worked great for us. We really enjoyed it and walked on most everything we wanted to ride. I know it won't be like the first time, but I think with the Christmas decorations and she's back and never dreamed it would be so soon, will be special.
This is our first MVMCP too but I think MNSSHP will be our next trip. We may have to stake off a year, though. Next year will be ds senior year in college and he runs cross country. October is the end of his season and we want to travel to all his meets.....did you do F&W too? I'd like to incorporate both!
Brief background about your upcoming trip (include dates):Just made our reservation yesterday for 12/15-22 returning to POR and it is a Royal Room. That's all they had for FD.
We overlap a day or two.....we're staying at POR too, but will be in the AB section
My Disney touring style - Commando or Turtle? We're fairly commando. Thanks to the DIS we were masters for the FP and followed a TouringPlan for the most part and it worked like magic. We take breaks, but we're pretty early risers, too.
I'm tempted to do the Touring Plan too but I'm fighting my urge to control this whole trip. It really goes against my nature to NOT have everything planned out to a "T" but I'm trying to ease up and relax a bit more...i think that happens as your get older and since it's just me and dh......
We will try and hit a few things we missed last time and eliminate some of the been there done that's. I have a feeling Splash will be ridden many times, as well as Kali. We're from Ohio...December in FL will be balmy to us!
Hubby is from NE Ohio and he loves the cold. It'll be pretty cold in StL so we're looking forward to retreating to the warmer weather in Florida too.....although I've been in December once 1997 and it got pretty darned cold that trip
We liked park hopping. Everyone says don't do it on your first trip, but we did. It was fun for us. I love POR, great Bloody Mary's in the bar! My DD even had a virgin one, they were impressed!
Memo to self: try Bloody Mary's at POR! Actually, this is my drink of choice on the plane too......I'm not a good flyer.
I decided, while we should probably save the money, she is only little once. It is amazing what she remembers about that trip. Life is too short. You can always make more money. Get to the World, I say!
WORD. Life is short, indeed. Enjoy each day and enjoy YOUR trip and your little girl every minute! My dd is 21 and is moving into an apartment next Monday. While I *know* this is the way life is supposed to work, I'm surprisingly not prepared for it!
