Welcome to my second trip report. I gotta relive the fun...
Who:
Me 34, Disney obsessed planner. Disboard lurker extraordinaire. Fan of good food, good (and not-so-good) wine and all that yummy stuff.
DH 36, thought I was crazy last year at our first trip to Disney. Quickly grew to appreciate the hours upon hours (upon hours) I spent on the disboards. In fact, on this trip, he actually dreamt about the dis impressive.
And the twins -
DD, 4.5 Was terrified of mostly every ride last year, especially Peter Pan. Yet she loved Soarin. Go figure.
DS, 4.5 Says he wants to go FAST (but does he, really?). Rode BTMRR last year at 3.5 and wasnt scared of anything.
Where:
Wilderness Lodge. Our first time here last time we stayed at the GF, thinking it was a once in many years trip. I was excited for the theming, thinking DH would enjoy it as much as the kids, but I was nervous about the lack of monorail wed been so spoiled last time.
When:
January 22-27 Last year we went in February and were thrilled with the low crowds. Hoped for the same thing this year (and I think you probably already know where Im going with this
)
What & Why:
This part yall all know already fabulous family vacation because WDW is fabulous. DH was happy last year with the food (and booze), as was I. I was a crazy dining planner again and made ADRs at:
CRT (twice it was the only place my son wanted to repeat, so we made breakfast and lunch reservations here)
CP love their breakfasts
The Wave
Artist Point
Biergarten
WCC
California Grill
Mama Melroses
Hoop De Doo
Tusker House breakfast
Yeah, we did the Deluxe Dining Plan. It was DHs only request from our previous trip. That and he wanted to repeat the drinking around the world at Epcot. He was so jealous this year when he saw people with special Drink Around the World T-shirts
Well thats the start! Be back soon with our arrival day, the DME, and our first Disney parade (the new one at MK!)
