Glad he is participating in the planning process. Can't even get mine to go!Decisions have been made, between both DH And myself. He has been more involved, which has been quite lovely!
This past trip was the first time we ever did rope drop with the welcome show. Literally teared up.Start this vacation off with MK Rope Drop! 2016 MK opened at 9, so we plan to be there no later than 8
Popping over to catch up!

Lol! He's been getting more involved as we plan more. I don't think he will ever be a Disney dad, per say, but he does want this to be a great trip, which makes me happy!

Every time, never fails.
I know its sooo hard to plan out days being so far out and no park hours as of yet, but Disney is good at changing things up. I am going nuts planning our trip that is 12 days away. There has been so many things changed and park hours updated that it is literally frustrating! Last year by 12 days out everything was completely set with no changes happening.
Not much longer until ADR's!
Yeah calling TRex directly should be totally fine - I have always been able to book the time I wanted that way.
I think we're gonna hang onto Chef Mickey's!
Adorable Vanellope!!
ohh How i love your costumes! your all so stinkin cute! I had to LOL at the scary house! Im sorry she was spooked! poor baby! I hope she was able to get lots of yummy candy!!
Thanks! She was cool with the scary stuff mostly, but that brain, man. I was laughing so hard I couldn't even take video.
WOW! So glad you got them all!!! YAY! too bad i have no idea what you have except for Chef Mickeys! LOL!!!
What did ya get!?!?!
Joining in. We leave about the time you get there. Definitely call for TRex, and if not, get a Landry's card. You get to skip the line and you don't even have to have a reservation at all if you have that
I am excited to see where you guys are eating!
Nothing But Love
Since my Facebook is littered with political posts I wanted to come to a happy place. A place where the only arguments that come up are about things like what's better dole whip or Mickey bars. Thank you to the Dis and the wonderful people I've met on here. Thank you for just being nice and allowing me to share a common bond among you, no matter what other differences we may have. Love you guys!
ON TO AN UPDATE!
ADR day was a blur and then the election and we are prepping for the holidays at my retail job and oh my gosh I'm tired! I haven't even had a second to call T-Rex and see about getting a ressie there to replace the Chef Mickey's I nabbed since I couldn't get the T-Rex. But, in all honesty, I'm kinda happy with the Chef Mickey's. I mean it will allow us a reason (like I actually need one) to hop on the monorail and check out the Contemporary, which happens to be DH favorite resort... Did not know he knew a thing about it. SO, I'm thinking I might just keep it... Take a look at what we got and tell me what you think:

As you can see I chose CRT and CM to be my alternatives, just in case something else fell through. We booked the 6:15 PM show at HDDMR but there was also a 4:00 PM...? I felt like maybe that was too early, but then I'm seeing folks say they wish they'd done the earlier showing...? Any advice is appreciated.
We also booked our Harmony Barber Shop appointment and I am psyched!!!
DD's hair took FOREVER to start growing; she was basically bald for her first year of life. It still grows slowly, but it's pretty long now. I'm admittedly a little concerned her hair will be dragging on the ground by the time we get the WDW. I've gotta find a few videos to show DD kids getting their hair cut there. I set the hair cut for 90 minutes after our CP ADR. Kinda hoping we can eat, walk over there, get the cut and then grab a spot for the parade. Hopefully the timing gods will be on my side there; I have the worst luck with that stuff. Do you guys think I'm cutting it too close?
I'm hoping to be able to turn that Tusker House into a package for Rivers of Light, if Rivers of Light has a package, or a showing, by May.
The 'Ohana dinner is for after our first AK day. I figured if EMHs stay the same that day will have early hours at AK, and we will likely go to them. I don't really see us staying in the park past like 4 if we're there that early. Hoping to be able to pop into our room, rest, freshen up and then take the boat to MK and the monorail to the Poly.
OH, that reminds me! Where, exactly do the boats in WL go? Is it just MK, or is it the transportation hub? Disney Springs? Bueller?
That's all for now. I'm looking forward to the holidays this year; we will visit Santa tomorrow since my SiL will be in the Dominican Republic for most of December, so the kids won't get another opportunity. And then my sister is in town this weekend and we're giong to check out a zoo not far from us (about a 90 minute drive). Hope you gus have a great weekend, thanks for being here with me!
TTFN!
I think your little one will love Chef Mickey! Riding the monorail, the fab 5!!! We did T-Rex, and I honestly left with a pounding head. It might be sensory overload for a little one. I legitimately think my 10+ month old would cry if we walked in there lol. My then 6 year old loved it, but a 2 year old may not. Only you know your little one enough to know for sure though....We will be at Harmony exactly one day earlier Regarding HDDR, 4 is a little early, but it does take time to wait for the boat to get you back. Everyone who leaves there is basically doing the same thing. I do not remember that anyone went to take a bus back. We did boat to MK (I don't recall it going anywhere else, but I could be wrong). Then we took MK transportation back to our resort. It is a great show regardless of what time you choose....lots of fun!! Enjoy Santa!!

I have to agree with all the hate on facebook right now.. It's a great place to come and NOT talk politics!
Right!? I know I post this or that on the facebook too, but sometimes I just wanna see joy, lots and lots of JOY! So I'm glad we have the DIS for that!
I've only done it once and we did the last show. Only because i heard it was the better for seating arrangements. it didn't disappoint! we were smack dab in the middle!!
I saw that the late show you could select any seating, which sounded SO amazing, but I doubt DD will make it that late. Show 2 it is for us! I'll let you know how that goes.
YAY!!! WE LOVE HARMONY BARER SHOP! can't wait to see the pictures!
I am SO excited for this!! We went on the YouTube to watch kids get their first cuts and DD was definitely interested. Hopefully she stays that way; we saw a couple of meltdowns happen, which was not cool...
Meg didn't have any hair until she was about 2. So i understand this...
There's a direct boat that goes between WL and MK. There's another boat that runs a loop between WL, Fort Wilderness and the Contemporary. Anything else, you're taking a bus or transferring to another boat if you want to boat to another MK area resort or something.OH, that reminds me! Where, exactly do the boats in WL go? Is it just MK, or is it the transportation hub?
I love your Halloween costumes! That was a great idea!
Thanks! We had a lot of fun with it too!!
One comment about your ADRs... plans look good even if you didn't necessarily get everything perfectly the way you'd like. But I know a lot of people are leery of posting their conf numbers on the public boards in the event that someone might be a little shady and try to steal an ADR.
Man! that would never have occurred to me! I changed the picture, so thanks for the heads up!

Yup, either one should work. FYI, WL to MK you can usually catch one of the bigger boats that you can usually get on without folding a stroller. The ones that make the WL, FW, Contempo route are the smaller boats.Thanks Andy! So if we wanted to boat to the Poly, for instance, we could grab a boat to MK and then another from MK to the POLY? Or just take the boat to the Contemporary and then the monorail?
I agree! My boys had LOADS of thick hair.. Meg had NOTHING until 2 then it turned into Carol Brady hair and my cousins made me cut it i was so MAD! but as you see now she has a full head of thick hair. boys still have more..
I'm rocking the Carol Brady look as we speak! LOL! Growing hair is the worst.
It's just not right. I used to have such nice hair and after I had Elora it got thin and REALLY dark. Womanhood is rough, from the start! LOL!
