PTR for 12/17-12/22

[twinsmama]

WHO
Princess (me, 25)
Queen (my mother, 56)
Twincess A (3.5)
Twincess B (3.5)
Cynic (my friend, 30ish)
Prince (his son, 5)

All of us are Disney lovers except for the Cynic who last went to Disney as a grumpy teenager, but agreed it may be fun to take his son. In his words, "I am feeling indifferent towards the coming trip". Mark my words, "he will come out of this a Disney addict like me!!!"

Princesses and Mickey Mouse are the top priorities for our group. I am the planner, and have planned all things princess. At times Cynic and Prince will likely break off to explore non-princess offerings.

While most groups with young kids leave the park for a nap or rest time, the littles in this group do not take naps. Staying in the parks from early morn til dinner time worked well for my Twincesses last year. We will take mini breaks throughout the day where we sit or let them run in circles.

WHEN
12/17-12/22, 5 nights, 4 days in the parks

WHERE
Cabins at FW with regular dining plan
