so I think I have all my Ducks in a row.. this was our saying the last time all of us went in 2001 .. This is a late / early birthday trip to all of us

My Crew is : Me - 34 (B-day was 10/10) Loves Disney and everything about it
My DD - 10 (B-day is 18th Nov turning 11)- also loves Disney but is also acting pre-teenish and moody as of late. does NOT do rides like Space mountin or Splash unless I drag her on with a bribe.
My DS - 8 (B-day was 10/3) also loves Disney fast Rides like ToT, BTMR, Splash and Space Mountains. will try most anything once.
My Mom - XX (B-day is in Dec) has only been to Disney twice so far first in 1971 - my first trip LOL and then again with us in 2001 - she just can't believe Disney has its own highway system . she love ToT and this is also her first stay on-site!
My Sis - 25 (B-day was 10/2 ) she has been to Disney with me 3 times and then a few others with friends and family. she is a great Auntie and will ride whatever rides my kids want . she will only be with us a few days as she didn't want to miss too much School

I have been planning since my return from my June 2003 trip with a friend and her kids ( that was a bust but a different story )
The 5 of us traveled before in Dec 2001 and I must say that so far has been my best trip ever to the World! I love traveling with my Mom and Sis - We are all very close so that is why it works well for us. So I invite them and they say Sure you Decide when and where and how much we need and let us know .. so I think well haven't done MNSSHP yet so lets try that . I do loads of research and have tweaked my plans many times this is what we have ended up with ..

10/28 get bus from Portland Me to Boston, Fly AirTran to Orlando, Rent Limo*this is a Surprise for them* go to Vistana Resort , rent car, have Chef Mickey's for Dinner
10/29 spend the day in Epcot at the Food and Wine Fest and see Survivor in concert
10/30 spend the day with family from Jacksonville at Sea World and Trick or Treat here and in DTD if we make it over there
10/31 move to SSR , Swim, then head to MNSSHP for the whole night
11/1 we check in at BCV eat breakfast at Cape May then head to the MK for Spectro and Wishes
11/2 eat at Donald's and spend day in AK maybe Epcot in eve to see Blake Shelton in concert
11/3 spend the day at MGM with lunch at B & C then Fantasmic in the eve
11/4 use our second day free at SeaWorld move to CSR then take our Illuminations Cruise with Dis Friends
11/5 our last full day here and it will be spent all day in the Magic Kingdom with Breakfast at the Crystal Palace ..
11/6 check out by 9 for our 11:30 flight home.. makes me sad just to type it..

We will be using vouchers (Breakfast and q & c ) I will report on those and the hotels when I come back as well as crowds and such..

Ohhh not much longer now!! Michelle
 
Hey Michelle,

Sounds like you have a plan. I can't wait to read your trip report when you get home. Hey, I am from Maine also. We are planning our trip in March 2005.
 
I too will be in the Magic Kingdom having breakfast at Crystal Palace on 11-5-04. Our PS time is 8:15am (before park opening). What time is your breakfast? It would be a hoot if we were there at the same time.
 

Minniespal - I can't wait to post more!

disnygrl30- what part as you can see I am from southern Me. There are actually quite a few mainer's here .. and welcome aboard (i see you are pretty new) you will love all the info you can find here !!

LYNSUE - Haa Funny ours is for 8:05 !! we will be a party of 4 (Me, My Mom, My DD age 10 and My DS age 8) I will be making a big fuss over Eeyore - he is my FAVE!! Pm me maybe we will be able to meet up at some point during the day?

Michelle
 
I'm looking forward to reading your report! Have a great time and give Mickey & Minnie a hug for all of us!!:wave2:
 
Bigsis1970,

It will be just my DH and me. I will be carrying a small back pack type purse decorated with the lime green ribbons and mickey mouse paint sample stickers from Home Depot . If you see me, just shout. I would be thrilled to meet a Diser at the parks.
